Which Jesus Do You Want?

Contributed by David Roth on May 2, 2020

Our sinful flesh chooses Barabbas, as did the crowd, because he is like us. But Christ chooses us, that we may be like Him.

J. J. May the words of my mouth, and the meditations of our hearts, be acceptable in Thy sight, O Lord, our Rock and our Redeemer. Amen. “Which Jesus do you want?” He had two prisoners. Both of them had been accused of trouble-making. Of being insurrectionists and revolutionaries. ...read more

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

Sermon # 8 - Love Like Jesus Loves Series

Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Jun 18, 2024

So many relationships are broken or splintered because of un-forgiveness. God’s mandate for His children is that we should love and forgive others the way He loves and forgives us. This love and forgiveness was perfectly exemplified by Jesus throughout His life and even at the point of death.

Jesus said in Luke 6:32, "If you love only the people who love you, why should you receive a blessing? Even sinners love those who love them! (GNT) As we continue to meditate on the questions that Jesus asked, we find these questions are relevant and life-giving even today. Most of us in ...read more

Jesus' Suffering (Matthew 27a)

Contributed by I. Grant Spong on Apr 13, 2024

What pampered king, president or prime minister of this world would suffer for the sake of his people? Yet, Jesus, king of the world did. Let's look at Jesus' suffering in Matthew 27:1-33.

How much did Jesus suffer even before His crucifixion? Let’s glimpse His suffering in Matthew 27:1-33. Who was Jesus taken to next?

Big Life Little Life - Mark 15:1-15 Series

Contributed by Darrell Ferguson on May 22, 2024

What is it about the natural human heart that prefers someone like Barabbas to Jesus? If we don’t know the answer to that question, we’ll miss one of the most important messages of the whole book of Mark. And when it comes to a choice, we’ll make the wrong decision too.

Mark 15:1 Very early in the morning, the chief priests, with the elders, the teachers of the law and the whole Sanhedrin, reached a decision. They bound Jesus, led him away and handed him over to Pilate. 2 "Are you the king of the Jews?" asked Pilate. "Yes, it is as you say," ...read more

In the workplace, it's not uncommon for individuals who stand out from the crowd to attract attention – both positive and negative.

Contributed by William Akehurst on Oct 30, 2025

Every king in history has worn a crown - but none like this King. JESUS, the KING of GLORY, wore a crown of thorns. HE was enthroned not on gold but on a cross. And through that cross, HE conquered sin and death.
