    Jesus stands before Pilate. Jesus’ kingdom is not from this world, but he is still King of kings and Lord of lords.

    John 18:28-40 "Where's the Kingdom?" INTRODUCTION It has often been said that Jesus, "Lived so that he could die." Such comments stress the crucifixion, but down play Jesus' life. I think it might be more accurate to say that Jesus died because he lived. In other words, Jesus bringing in the ...read more

     | 5,767 views

    We feel stuck in responsibilities, trying to maintain something just because we’ve inherited it, and are tempted to think of leadership as image. In a relationship to Christ, responsibility is transformed into freedom.

    He was tired to the bone, but rose to go trim the wicks and boost the light again. How many times had he been to these lamps tonight? How many times had he wanted just to give it up and go to bed? How many times had he hoped that some magic answer would swoop in his open window and land on his ...read more

    God decrees the death of his Son for the death his people deserve to die.

    Scripture Introduction One way to get at the significance of the story of redemption is to observe the contrasts which God builds into Bible events. For example, as the hours wind down to the crucifixion, we see the bent of the human heart: face-to-face with an innocent man, men plot his death ...read more

    The story of Eric Liddell (Chariots of Fire) forms the backdrop for this sermon on Christ the King Sunday. Are we willing to surrender all of our commitments and allegiences to Christ the King?

    1Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles, and let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us. 2Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy ...read more

    based on 19 ratings
     | 10,055 views

    This is a topical sermon on biblical truth from "The Exchanged Life" perspective which is both evangelistic and discipleship in approach.

    Sometimes I wonder whether there is really a search for the truth today. Circumstances and situations cause me to ask, “Do people really want to know the truth? As far back as Biblical times there is the indication of a search for truth. There were people called the Gnostics who thought that all ...read more

    Contributed by Allan Quak on Mar 30, 2016
     | 7,535 views

    When Pilate is asked to judge the guilt of Jesus Pilate finds himself asking a very significant question: What Is Truth? The truth is that Jesus is declared innocent by Pilate, but He is still put to death because Jesus is also an inconvenience.

    Message John 18:28-40 The Obvious Truth Who ate the lollies? Not me. Not me. Not me. Every parent has had that conversation at one time or another.
