    Injustice was rendered at Jesus’ trial, but true justice will be rendered when he returns in power as Judge.

    Introduction As much as we may uphold the judicial system, all of us have felt at times that injustice, rather than justice, was rendered in a courtroom. Perhaps it was due to incompetence by the defense or prosecution or even the judge. Perhaps the jury was deficient. Perhaps there was bribery ...read more

    Many times when we look at the portion of Mark 14 involving the arrest and trial of Jesus we focus on Judas - the betrayer. But Mark shows us that many more than Judas betrayed Jesus that night, and it shows us how short we fall and how great our Savior r

    Beginning in Mark 14:43 we shift from Jesus being the source of the action to Him being acted upon by others. He becomes very passive except at a few key moments, on His way to the cross. In a way, what we see in this portion of Mark 14 is the failure of mankind. In several key ways, man abandons ...read more

    Peter denied Jesus as he was warming himself. How many of us have denied Christ while warming around a worldly fire?

    Last week, we left Jesus being betrayed by Judas and arrested by the Temple guards. The disciples were scattering, trying to escape arrest. A bystander was grabbed in the foray, but pulled away.

    When things get difficult, how do you react? Keeping a cool head is relatively easy whenever things are going smoothly. But what happens when the unexpected occurs?
