    Contributed by David Owens on Apr 11, 2012
    based on 5 ratings
     | 13,899 views

    The world's promises are truly empty - they are full of emptiness. But in this Easter sermon, we examine the emptiness that is full of promise. There is amazing promise in the empty cross, the empty tomb, and the empty burial cloths.

    Jesus Faced Judgment In Front Of Pontius Pilate Series

     | 479 views

    Jesus was judged by Pilate and was taken away and died on the cross at Golgotha. Pilate knew that Jesus was innocent yet he substituted the innocent man, Jesus, for the guilty robber and murderer, Barabbas.

    The prophet Isaiah wrote that the suffering servant would suffer judgment. In the previous sermonm, we saw how Jesus was silent when confronted by Pontius Pilate at his illegal trial. I don’t want to repeat what has been said, but suffice it to say Jesus was judged by Pilate and was taken away and ...read more

    Do you believe in praying bold and wild prayers? Do you believe that if you asked God to do something "impossible" that He would? Frankly, the story in Acts 12 doesn't look like these folks believed that. Did God look down on them for their doubt?
