Sermons on The Betrayal Of Jesus:

The Shadow Of Betrayal - Psalm 55 Series

Contributed by Timothy Darling on Jun 21, 2006

It is vitally important that in our dark times, we cast our cares on God. As Peter says, He cares for you.

The shadow of betrayal Psalm 55 The psalm is a maskil. Ultimately, we don’t know what a maskil is. The best idea we have is that the word maskil is associated with the word "wise" or "skilled." In the times of the ancient Hebrews, wisdom could apply to anything. You could cook wisely (some might ...read more

Hosea's Love - Betrayal And Judgement Series

Contributed by Chris Appleby on Nov 2, 2005

Hosea gives a picture not only of the way God hurts when his people are unfaithful, but about the real power of his love. Here is a love that expects a response of single-minded faithfulness, and that won’t rest until it gets it.

If you’re familiar with the story of Les Miserables, then you’ll know that the story begins with Jean Valjean, a convict on parole, coming to a town where the only person who’ll give him a room and a meal is the local bishop, Bp Myriel. The bishop welcomes him into his house, feeds him and gives ...read more

The Arrest Of Jesus

Contributed by Brian Bill on Feb 24, 2018

Last weekend we focused on the agony in the Garden of Gethsemane and learned that it was a place of support, sorrow, solitude, struggle, submission, and finally, strength. Today we have front-row seats to the arrest and most infamous trial in history.

Surely, Not I!

Contributed by Wann Fanwar on Sep 21, 2003

This sermon examines the betrayal of Jesus in Matthew 26 and proposes that there are different ways to betray Jesus. Perhaps the more incipient danger is the indifference of the eleven. The sermon also portrays the manner in which God handles human failur

SURELY, NOT I! Matthew 26:20-50 I was marooned in a seemingly forsaken place, or so it felt. I did not know anyone. The place was isolated from life. The nearest village was miles away and I had to walk several kilometres to the nearest bus pickup point. There was no running water or electricity. ...read more

“god's Glory And Love” Series

Contributed by Ron Tuit on Feb 27, 2016

As Jesus prepares for the cross, He reveals His betrayer but also His Glory. He gives His disciples the new command, to love as He loves.

“God's Glory and Love” John 13:21-35 Last week we looked at the foot washing by Jesus of His Disciples’ feet: We saw that not only was Jesus washing their feet but also teaching them a great spiritual lesson. First of all it was more than a S-O-L-E washing. Jesus’ ...read more

The Way: On Trial Series

Contributed by David Richardson on Mar 28, 2004

The Path to Jerusalem for Jesus contained His Betrayal, His Arrest and His Persecution. Our lives as Christians will also, in some form or another, contain similar Betrayals, possible confinement and most assuredly persecution. Are you up to it?

The Way: On Trial John 14:1 "Do not let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God ; trust also in me. 2 In my Father’s house are many rooms; if it were not so, I would have told you. I am going there to prepare a place for you. 3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you ...read more

What Jesus Knew

Contributed by Terry Barnhill on May 11, 2010

He’s telling you not to be surprised “if the world hates you”, and then he’s telling you why it hates you. It’s precisely because “we love our brothers.”

In preparing the sermon for today, a singular thought pressed on me repeatedly. We read the stories of Jesus. We recite the Creeds of Christendom, and we share the understanding that Jesus was fully God and fully man . . . the divine paradox. But how often are we really willing to make the ...read more

Contributed by Jim Butcher on Apr 28, 2021

A stark contrast between Mary and Judas sets the stage for the beginning of the of Jesus' ministry.

The Illusion That Jesus Was Powerless Series

Contributed by Jeffery Anselmi on Mar 31, 2017

Jesus appeared to be powerless during His arrest and betrayal at the hands of Judas; however, that was only an illusion!

A ROYAL NATIVITY Luke 2:1-18 When Jacob blessed his sons, he prophesied that the sceptre would not pass from Judah “UNTIL He comes whose right it is” (Genesis 49:10). Even the hireling prophet Balaam recognised that a king was still to arise out of the stock of Jacob, though not yet (Numbers ...read more

Wednesday - An Extravagant Giver And A Ruthless Taker Series

Contributed by David Owens on Mar 21, 2022

These two stories of the extravagant giver and the ruthless taker are excellent examples of what we should and should not be. Both people were very close to Jesus, but ended up having very different reactions to him. Jesus loved them both in spite of what they did to Him.

A. We might oversimplify things by saying that the world is made up of two kinds of people: givers and takers, but there is some truth to that statement. B. I love hearing stories about big tippers and I try to be a good tipper myself. 1. A man named Greg Rubar was a waiter at D'Amico’s ...read more

Preparing Jesus, Preparing For Jesus Series

Contributed by Tom Fuller on Mar 3, 2008

This chapter provides some real contrasts between real and trumped up worship, real belief and real betrayal. It is all a part of preparing Jesus for the cross and preparing us to receive him.

John places Jesus at Ephraim, a village north of Jerusalem. Between the end of chapter 11 and here, Jesus travels back to Galilee, heals the ten lepers (Luke 17), talks to Zacchaeus (Luke 19) in Jericho on his way back to Bethany.

Betrayed But Not Bitter Series

Contributed by Richard Tow on Apr 12, 2004

The three stages of betrayal are examined by discussing Judas’ behavior. It is not only important that we guard our hearts so that we do not become betrayers; but it is also important to respond correctly when we are betrayed. Jesus provides an example fo

Betrayed But Not Bitter Fortifying the Foundations # 31 John 13:18-38[1] 3-28-04 Intro Our text this morning in John 13 deals with the issue of betrayal. With a kiss, Judas betrayed Jesus.

A Cheap Kiss

Contributed by Wayne Lawson on Mar 27, 2017

It is important for us to note Judas was a man of promise. I think Jesus saw a great potential in him. In Judas He saw someone who could have been used in a mighty way in the advancement of the Kingdom of God.
