Conquer Fear (John 18:1-27) Series

Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Mar 31, 2022

Be like Jesus, not Peter, openly, boldly, confessing the truth.

This week, we begin chapter 18. At this point, Jesus has finished encouraging his disciples, and challenging them, and warning them. He's also finished praying for them, asking his Father to take up the job of being a good shepherd to them. Now, it's time to leave the upper room. ...read more

Trial 0f Jesus - Caiaphus Series

Contributed by Jenny Franklin on Apr 13, 2022

As we look at the trial of Jesus, we will see how the religious leaders disregarded their own laws regarding the legal proceeding of a capital crime (one worthy of death). In this integrated gospel account, we will also see the fulfillment of prophecies written by David.

It was Preparation Day, the day before the Passover Sabbath. In the darkness of the early hours of the morning, Jesus was arrested. The crowd of guards and soldiers led him bound to Annas. Although Annas had previously been the high priest, Caiaphas his son-in-law was the high priest that year. ...read more

The Dignity Of The King Vs. The Depravity Of Humanity

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Apr 21, 2022

John 18:12-36 continues the story of Jesus' journey towards the cross as He faced His enemies and an illegal trial based on false charges. What they didn't know was that Jesus was in control and that this was part of the redemptive plan (1 Corinthians 2:7-8).

The Lord Jesus had been arrested while in the Garden of Gethsemane (Matthew 26:47-56; Mark 14:43-52; Luke 22:47-53; John 18:1-11). He was being hauled off to an illegal trial on false charges. This is the beginning of an obvious plot using any means possible by the Pharisees and the other ...read more

Seven Sundays To Easter: The End—but It Wasn’t Series

Contributed by Jonathan Spurlock on Mar 20, 2021

The Lord Jesus Christ had been sentenced to death by crucifixion. Once He died, most people believed that everything died along with Him. But it wasn't--three days later, He arose from Joseph's tomb, ALIVE!

Introduction: The Lord Jesus Christ had been betrayed and arrested in the garden of Gethsemane, as all four Gospel writers describe in their works. What happened next is an attempt to get rid of Jesus by any means necessary in the minds of the religious leaders. It’s a sad commentary that ...read more

Struggles Of Life Can Bring Peace.

Contributed by Roy Fowler on Oct 25, 2020

Proclaiming The Gospel Today

Contributed by Michael Koplitz on Sep 27, 2023

Why are Christians afraid to talk about their blessings from Jesus Christ? Peter did in this narrative. BUT when he received the Holy Spirit he went out and proclaimed the Gospel. We have the Holy Spirit and should do the same as he did.

The Disciple Peter - Slip Leads To Slide - Part 3 Of 4 Series

Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Jul 14, 2022

Where It All Starts Series
