What Shall We Do With Jesus?

Contributed by David Nolte on Feb 21, 2021

One way or another we will make a decision about Jesus.

In the past year we saw the results of mindless mobs inciting mindless riots, rebellion, vandalism and violence. Unfortunately that happens when passion exceeds prudence, selfishness overrides self-control, and hatred outweighs honor. It has happened in every generation. It happened in the ...read more

Ghosts Of The Godly

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 5, 2021

Dead Christians came out of the graves when Jesus rose from the dead, and this leads to many questions about the ghosts of the godly.

History is full of the weird and mysterious in relation to the dead. In Barbados, in the West Indies, in 1812, a vault was opened and three coffins were in a confused state. In 1815 and 1819 it was opened, and again, each time the coffins were in disarray. The Governor, Lord Cambermere had the ...read more

Listen To Your Wife

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 6, 2021

By listening to his wife he could have become a noble hero. There could have been St. Pilate churches all through history, and Pilate could have become a popular Christian name. But Pilate blew it because he would not listen to his wife.

Is there a man alive whose wife has never said, "You should have listened to me?" The pages of history are red with the blood of men who should have listened to their wives. Calpurnia pleaded with Caesar on that fatal Ides of March not to leave the house. She had a restless night, and ...read more

Christ Before Pilate, Pilate Before Christ

Contributed by John Gaston on Feb 13, 2017

We find, when Pilate called Jesus in for judgment, that it wasn't Jesus who was on trial, but Pilate! Imagine how it will be at the Great White Throne Judgment when Pilate stands before the King of Kings in blazing splendor! How terrible it will be!

CHRIST BEFORE PILATE, PILATE BEFORE CHRIST Mt. 27:11-26; Jn. 19:6-12 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR: THE STATE DINNER 1. A New York Governor invited a group of clergy to the State House on a Friday for breakfast. However, as soon as they all were seated and the food was delivered to the table, he began to ...read more

Passover Jesus To Pilate

Contributed by Geoffrey Foot on Mar 24, 2018

How much do we really understand about the context behind the trial and death of Jesus. Why were the Jews so insistent that Jesus should be put to death and what's more by the hated Romans?

Passover Jesus to Pilate It is the feast of the Passover in the city of Jerusalem around AD30. The city is full of pilgrims from all over the Mediterranean world to attend this great national festival when they celebrated their release from slavery in the land of Egypt. Now they were effectively ...read more

The Cross Of Barabbas Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Mar 25, 2018

All 4 gospels tell us the story of Barabbas (but we never learn the names of the other prisoners to die that day). Why? What is it about Barabbas that was so important that Scripture tells us his name?

OPEN: Someone once noted that Jesus borrowed just about everything he had while on earth. He borrowed a place for His birth, a house to sleep in, a boat to preach from, an animal to ride on when He entered Jerusalem, a room to meet privately with His friends for the Last Supper, and a tomb to be ...read more

A Reverent Account Of A Horrific Event

Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jan 14, 2017

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

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

(READ TEXT) Instead of answering himself, Pilate looked to the crowd. But the crowd can be wrong. The ...read more

Almost

Contributed by Derrick Strickland on Mar 19, 2016

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
