    Politician Pilate is on trial now, and he has a finger in the air checking the wind’s direction. Instead of doing what is right, he does what is easy. Link inc. to formatted text, audio, and PowerPoint Template.

    Call Me Barabbas Matthew 27:11-31 http://gbcdecatur.org/sermons/Barabbas.html Last time we saw the religious phase of Jesus’ trial, in which He was accused of blasphemy. But that charge wasn’t worthy of death in the Roman world, so they need to try to dig something else up. How about treason? ...read more

    The Highest Hill in the World Matthew 27:31-43 http://gbcdecatur.org/sermons/HighestHill.html In Latin it is called Calvary. In Hebrew, Golgotha, or “place of the skull.” If you look carefully you can see it...an eerie image...a symbol of death. It’s not a very high hill geographically, but ...read more

    Crucifixion

    based on 11 ratings
     | 7,142 views

    A Good Friday sermon as part of the lenten series Words of Lent. (This sermon quotes several historical perspectives and descriptions of crucifixion)

    Four simple words are found in this text: “And they crucified him”. -- "And they crucified him!" Not very descriptive really, considering the severity of the punishment. Obviously, they were words that were meant for an entirely different audience. And audience, who is Jesus’ day, knew exactly what ...read more

    Urgent Atonement Series

    The cross is hideous. It’s not a pretty thing we hang on our walls. It’s not a fine piece of jewelry hanging from our neck. It is the most brutal instrument of death ever conceived by the cruel mind of man.

    For the past few weeks, we’ve been looking at the events of the last few days of Jesus’ life on earth. With each of those events, we’ve seen a sense of urgency. Each week we have seen an example of urgency. But this morning is different. In this morning’s passage, our Lord shows a sense of ...read more

    Evidence Demands A Verdict

    based on 44 ratings
     | 12,832 views

    This is part V in the series - 24. It is a first person narrative account from the perspective of the centurion at the cross. WARNING: It is graphic! The preaching idea: the evidence has been presented. What will you do with it?

    “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in Him shall not perish but have everlasting life.” Ultimately, that’s what the final 24 hours in Jesus’ life are about – God’s plan to redeem us to buy us back. We’ve heard from four characters who ...read more

    The Door Key To Heaven

    Contributed by Johnny Carver on Aug 4, 2007
    based on 4 ratings
     | 3,674 views

    There seems to be a blurring of the need of the Cross of Christ in our responsibility as a Christian. The Cross is an absolute necessity for the Christian to be effective . . . .

    Scripture: Matthew 27:29 – 38 Title: “The Door Key To Heaven” Introduction: Jesus made the ‘Cross’ famous by His sacrifice on it. Jesus made many references to the ‘Cross’ before He faced it for Himself. The act of crucifying people was a very common occurrence during N.T. times. (“And sitting ...read more

     | 4,222 views

    This sermon attempts to help individuals find themselves at the cross of Jesus by considering several people who were there.

    WHERE YOU THERE? INTRODUCTION: Where were you when…. The Space Shuttle exploded in the 1980’s? Kennedy was assassinated? You heard about the 911attacks? It is amazing how we remember where we were, what we were doing, even what we were wearing during major cultural or national events. We were ...read more

    Pilate did with Christ what millions do today: he was not against Him, but wanted to avoid the issue. When the pressure came, he had a choice. It is only under pressure that our true convictions surface.

    Note: this is a bulletin insert I put in our bulletins to supplement the sermon; it contains much helpful information, so I have included it here before the sermon. Ed Pilate: A Friend to Caesar or Not? The year was 33 AD. Jesus had been arrested and illegally tried. From a human perspective, ...read more

    The Impact Of Four Nails Series

    Contributed by Thomas Cash on Apr 6, 2009
    based on 71 ratings
     | 28,970 views

    Four nails forever changed how God ministers to a lost and dying world. As Jesus’ earthly ministry closed, each nail driven into the cross beckons us to take up where He left off.

    Sermon Notes “The Impact of Four Nails” Matthew 27:27-50 Introduction: Matthew 27 tells of the culmination of God’s love and mercy. On that day, no one ever loved so much, sacrificed more, or accomplished such a great task. What happened on a hill outside the city of Jerusalem forever changed ...read more

    The Wounds Of Christ Series

    I would propose to you that Jesus means for the Communion service to be a lot more than just a religious observance, but to keep fresh in our minds the act of sacrificial love He has for us.

    Title: The Wounds of Christ Theme: Remembering His Cost was Our Gain Introduction: When I first got started in the Arabian Horse business, my parents and I attended a special coronation celebration for a beautiful Arabian Stallion. On a Saturday night, in Lincoln, Nebraska we sat in a large ...read more

    Alone!

    Contributed by Johnny Creasong on Aug 11, 2008
    based on 6 ratings
     | 8,441 views

    Sin leaves us deserted, helpless, destitute, abandoned, without hope and without God! When Jesus carried our sins on the cross, a fellowship was broken that had always existed. Jesus was ALONE!

    Alone? Loneliness is a terrible thing! It can attack anyone…even in a crowded place. Jesus understands the feelings and the fear that come from loneliness. Today we are going to look at the most lonely time in Jesus’ life. It took place on the cross. Matthew’s gospel paints the portrait of ...read more

    Part of an Easter series, this sermon looks at the Centurion and his response to his encounter with Christ.

    Just Doing My Job Mt. 27:27-54 Illus. One of the things I loved as a paramedic was that it was anything but routine. •We were trained to expect the unexpected, to be ready for anything. And yet, there were some drawbacks. Every time the call went out, someone was facing a crisis that would change ...read more
