    This morning our focus is on how Pilate kept trying to slam the door shut but was unable to do so.

    A couple weeks ago I stopped at a gas station on my way to make a hospital visit. As usual my mind was focused on a number of things, and I wasn’t paying attention to the howling hurricane whipping through the flat lands of Illinois. As I got out of the car, the wind pulled the door out of my hand ...read more

    Matthew's account of Jesus' Passion, as viewed from its own Biblical, historical and theological context.

    A REVERENT ACCOUNT OF A HORRIFIC EVENT. Matthew 27:11-54. It is quite remarkable that two acts within Matthew’s account of our Lord’s judicial murder are passed over quite without the gory details which our modern culture seems to demand. Each is referred to by a single word in the Greek, each ...read more

    Pilate would tell you today that when it comes to deciding for Christ… Almost is never enough.

    INTRO: 1. Pilate…a man who in his lifetime knew so much prestige and so much power. a. He had many times been the guest of Caesar himself. b. He had ruled over thousands in his lifetime. c. His word was as good as law. d. Held the lives of so many in his hands. e. He lived ...read more

    When Jesus was crucified, some turned away and some ran away from Him. But there was at least one man didn't do that and his life changed forever. Do you know who that man was?

    I Am Barabbas Series

    based on 4 ratings
     | 14,528 views

    Jesus was killed while Barabbas, the genuinely guilty, was set free. This is a picture of salvation in that Jesus died so we, the guilty, may be set free.

    The Irony of Good Friday… I am sure that the irony that reveals itself in the fact that we refer to today as Good Friday does not escape our minds. From the perspective of all who bore eyewitness to the events that transpired during the 24 hours of that first Good Friday, it was anything ...read more

    There is a cost to every gift and the Gift of Easter was bought and paid for on Good Friday

    Sometimes we hear people refer to the gift of Easter, and on Sunday we are going to reflect on the generosity that made Easter a reality for us, and for the gifts that are extended to us because of the resurrection. But that is Sunday and this is Friday. You see there couldn’t be a Sunday ...read more

    You Are Barabbas

    Contributed by Jason Smith on Sep 14, 2013
     | 10,424 views

    There are so many places within scripture where the gospel is foreshadowed. The account of Barabbas’ release is one such place.

    This morning I would like to spend a short amount of time studying about a man that we do not know too much about, but a man that for a small amount of time plays an important role in the darkness and injustice that happens the day our Lord was crucified. The man I am speaking of is Barabbas. There ...read more
