Contributed by Douglas Phillips on Apr 10, 2018

I Am Barabbas Series

Contributed by Jay Tigner on May 7, 2016

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

The Dream Of Pilate’s Wife

Contributed by John Gaston on Apr 9, 2022

Pilate had to face the decision of what to do with Jesus. With sins dragging on him and forces of evil crying for Christ's blood, Pilate stood in the balance. Just then, his wife had a dream from God to warn him. We all are warned not to decide this wrongly.

THE DREAM OF PILATE’S WIFE Matt. 27:11-26 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR: THE AGGIE’S LAST REQUEST 1. Back in the Old West three Texas cowboys were about to be hung for cattle rustling.

Trial Of Jesus - Pilate And Herod Series

Contributed by Jenny Franklin on Apr 13, 2022

Both Pilate and Herod agreed Jesus was innocent, but the Jewish leaders refused to accept the verdict. This integrated gospel account of His trial includes prophecies of details foretold by Isaiah and the fulfillment of those prophecies.

Pilate They tied Jesus up, and the whole crowd led him away from Caiaphas to the hall of judgment in the early morning. They delivered him to Pontius Pilate, the Roman governor of Judea.(Matthew 27:2, John 18:28) The Jews wouldn't go into the judgment hall. They would be defiled (considered ...read more

The Ultimate Scapegoat

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Mar 29, 2022

What was the Scapegoat, and can it's function somehow be applied to Jesus? Christ made a one-time sacrifice and atonement to cover all sins. There is no more need for a scapegoat, as the Lamb of God became the final sin offering.

I want to begin our sermon this morning by asking if you’ve ever before heard the word “scapegoat.” This term was coined by William Tyndale, the first great English Bible translator, who I will discuss a little further later on in our message. After Tyndale, the word came to be used for a person, ...read more

Pilate's Wife

Contributed by Claude Alexander on Apr 2, 2022

It is surprising, and sad, that the only testimony (in effect) on Jesus’ behalf during the trial was made, not by any of Jesus’ disciples, nor apostles, nor followers, but by Pilate’s wife.

Pilate's Wife Matt. 27:11-26 The chief priests with the elders and scribes and the whole council of the Sanhedrin had decided to put Jesus to death. They had Jesus brought before Pilate the governor to pronounce the death sentence. (Mark 15:1; Luke 22:66; 23:1) Pontius Pilate was the fifth ...read more

Anti-Semitism Series

Contributed by Robert Leroe on Apr 3, 2022

The British have a condescending saying: “How odd of God to choose the Jews.”

The British have a condescending saying: “How odd of God to choose the Jews.” They sneeringly look down on God’s chosen people. Yet God’s choice is not odd. The Jews chose God. And through them came our Savior. Some people deny that Jesus was Jewish; the idea that Jesus was a Jew is ...read more

The Cost Of Good Friday

Contributed by Denn Guptill on Apr 3, 2015

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

The Face Of Fortune: Barabbas Series

Contributed by John Lowe on Jun 15, 2012

The face of Barabbas is truly the face of good fortune. Never has a better thing happened to a man on the day of his expected crucifixion. Jesus of Nazareth probably died on the cross that was prepared for Jesus Barabbas.

4-08-03 The Face of Fortune: Barabbas Text: Now the governor's custom was to release one Jewish prisoner each year during the Passover celebration--anyone they wanted…Then Pilate released Barabbas to them.
