     | 4,170 views

    The story of Jesus betrayal, arrest, and trial could be seen as a dark time, but it teaches us things about faith, suffering, and finding the will of God in our lives like no other portion of Scripture.

    I hate politics. Politics at its worst is the manipulation of people and processes to get your way. I’m sure there’s a good side to politics – but I haven’t seen it lately. Certainly it was politics at its worst that was operating in Palestine around 33AD when the ruling religious political group ...read more

    The story of Judas Iscariot, and his betrayal of Jesus, should remind us to examine ourselves. We need to avoid betraying Jesus in twenty-first century style. As Judas attempted to re-make Jesus and then abandon Him when He was not the "Jesus" Judas wan

    Surely Not I, Teacher? Those are the words of Judas as he was about to betray Jesus. We now approach the Easter season. In our culture Easter is a happy holiday with bunnies and candy.

    I can hear these words of Jesus ring through every gathering of his people. There is always a chance that someone will begin to walk in the shoes of Judas unless we stay close to Jesus.

And as they did eat, he said, Verily I say unto you, that one of you shall betray me. And they were exceeding sorrowful, and began every one of them to say unto him, Lord, ...read more

    Seeing God’s forgiveness

    What does it mean to be forgiven? That’s something we want to look at this morning. And we are going to look at it through the image of Jesus dying on the cross. We know the story of the crucifixion: we hear it every Easter. When know that Jesus died for our sins. But WHY did he died on that ...read more

    This is on the Lord’s Supper.

    The action really kicks into gear now. The events move at an ever-increasing pace from this point. It’s a blur, a whirlwind. Chapter 26 starts with the religious elite plotting to kill Jesus. Jesus is then anointed. Judas agrees to hand Jesus over. Read Matthew 26:17-29. The first thing we ...read more

    Jesus shows us in the Last Supper and in the Garden, four wonderful expressions of love.

    As I recited from memory the following scripture, I also washed the feet of a male teen on stage for dramatic effect. It added greatly to the message. John 13 1It was just before the Passover Feast. Jesus knew that the time had come for him to leave this world and go to the Father. Having loved ...read more

    The issue of the Lord’s Supper is an issue that divides many Christians. People among Christianity disagree as to how to and how often to partake. We will look at the New Testament examples and see why we believe what we believe

    The focal point of our worship is to partake of "The Lord’s Supper." We partake of this divinely instituted meal lest we forget the sacrifice Christ made on our behalf and the ramifications of that sacrifice.

    INTRODUCTION Priscilla Larson, of Lexington, MA, tells of the time her brother in law (a preacher) had been away from home one afternoon donating his blood at the Red Cross.

    Communion Meditation No. 2: Common Everyday Things Series

     | 33,811 views

    Common, everyday things often take on special meanings. A letter becomes a treasure when it is the last one from a loved one. In similar fashion, Jesus took common, ordinary elements—unleavened bread and the fruit of the vine—and made them special.

    based on 20 ratings
     | 4,858 views

    The salvation that Jesus Christ has made possible for us came through conflict resolution.

    What comes to mind when you hear the word "conflict?" Anger? Fear? Anxiety? A person’s name or face? A memory of a past event or a word spoken that you want to forget but can’t? Some of us fear conflict, like the grass in the African proverb, “when bull elephants fight, the grass always loses.” ...read more
