     | 4,913 views

    Are you ashamed to be served by Jesus? Be careful how you answer. As Jesus demonstrates what real love is, he also recoils at real betrayal.

    In the February 20th issue of Time Magazine, Joel Stein writes the cover story about George Clooney the Hollywood TV actor turned movie star. Stein recalls asking Clooney for an interview. What he got was Clooney himself coming over for dinner. “He’ll eat whatever’s cooking” his publicist said. The ...read more

    Judas’ betrayal of Jesus serves as a wake-up call of how close we can come to God’s kingdom and still be lost.

    How Could Anyone Betray His Best Friend? John 13:2, 18-30; Luke 22:1-6, 21-23, 47-48 INTRO. From Walter Wangerin, The Book of God, pp. 765-767.

    Could it be me? Could I be the one who betrays Jesus? No matter how long we serve the Lord, there’s always a chance that we could fail.

    Could it be Me? Wednesday, March 19, 2008 On the night before Jesus’ crucifixion we find him in the upper room, with all of the disciples as they prepared for the last supper. John 13:21-30, "When Jesus had thus said, he was troubled in spirit, and testified, and said, Verily, verily, I say unto ...read more

    What's Love Got To Do With It?

    Contributed by Reg Watson on Aug 6, 2009

     | 26,705 views

    We can have the same confidence of God’s love for us that John had when he acknowledged that he was "the disciple whom Jesus loved" (Jn 13:23).

    “What’s Love Got To Do With It?” John 13:23 If you were to guess, what do you think is the one thing in life a person wants more than anything else? Fame, wealth, beauty, status, power, position? I would argue that while a lot of people think that any one of, or a combination of, these would make ...read more

    God points us through the cross to the wonder of his glory in order to understand evil and suffering in this present world.

    Scripture Introduction Who killed Jesus? The Apostles’ Creed says he “suffered under Pontius Pilate.” Or maybe the blame belongs to the soldiers who drove the nails? Or should we condemn the Jews who demanded freedom for the criminal Barabbas and death for this one called, “Christ,” and then ...read more

    A short talk given at a Maundy Thursday Communion Service, focusing on the ’Hillel Sandwich’ Jesus gave to the guest of honour at Passover - Judas Iscariot! Such love, shown by Jesus!

    Two weeks ago we had a visit here at Christ Church from 40 children who attend St. John’s School in Billericay, plus 3 of their teachers. We were walking – or should I say talking and eating – our way through the Passover meal and asking ourselves this question: “How and why would Jesus have ...read more

    There are many marks of a believer. This message focuses on what I believe to be "The Mark of a Believer."

    The Mark of a Christian John 13:1-38 There are many marks of the Christian that I’m sure we could all name.

    The Responsibility Is Mine

    We have to take responsibility for the ways we deny and betray Jesus. Judas can’t say, "The Devil Made Me Do It." The responsibility was his.

    The Responsibility is Mine John 13:21-32 Holy Thursday April 5, 2007 Most of you, I am sure, remember the comic Flip Wilson from the late sixties. He is remembered most of all for his character Geraldine and her penchant for hollering out when she committed some breach of social etiquette, “The ...read more

    Jesus has many servants but few lovers.

    Are You God’s Favorite? If you’re not, you can be and should be! Before you write me off as some crackpot, hear me out. I know the bible says God shows no favoritism (Deut 10:17, Acts 10:34, Ro 2:11 etc.) However, the Apostle John definitely considered himself to be loved in a special, ...read more
