Surely the crowd would not release a leader in an uprising that had been placed in jail for murder? Yet, the…

Pilate was directly responsible to the Emperor for the administrative and financial management of the country.

On this Palm Sunday, we think about Jesus coming into Jerusalem. It’s been a long time coming, this. Jesus was looking forward to this moment for years.

Five Greek Words Matthew 26 26-30 “While they were eating, Jesus took bread, and after giving thanks he broke it, gave it to his disciples, and said, “Take, eat, this is my body.” And after taking the cup and giving thanks, he gave it to them, saying, “Drink from it, all of you, for this is my blood,…

Then came the day of Unleavened Bread on which the Passover lamb had to be sacrificed.

What’s in a name? We seldom are concerned about the literal meaning of our name, for instance David—beloved one, Elizabeth—God swears/promises, Kelly—warrior, Gregory—watchful, etc. Some names, however, are worth millions of dollars: Larry Bird, Tom Brady, Brett Farve. Some names announce a person’s…

People often ask how they can be sure that God will heal them. The Bible teaches us that it’s His will to heal us. It says the prayer of faith will make the sick well.

They came to a place called Golgotha (which means The Place of the Skull). There they offered Jesus wine to drink, mixed with gall; but after tasting it, he refused to drink it.
