    Pilate's iconic "What is truth?" question is the centerpiece of a passage that highlights several of the ways that we struggle with truth in our lives.

    PILATE ASKS A GREAT QUESTION: “What is truth?” - John 18:38a. - Many ways to take it: sincere, sneering, lost, confused. - But at the end of the day, it is an essential question. - It’s not enough to be sincere in our beliefs, we need to sincerely believe something that’s true. - What about ...read more

    Individual Responsibility

    Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Mar 15, 2022

    This message looks at an excuse that the Israelites used for not serving the Lord. It was an excuse, which they hoped would exempt them from their own sins and their own individual responsibility; and the excuse was very shallow.
