Last week, we looked at the trial of Jesus before Pilate. In an effort to not be involved, Pilate offered Barabbas (the son of the father) as a substitute for Jesus (the TRUE Son of the Father). Surely the crowd would not release a leader in an uprising that had been placed in jail for murder? Yet, the…

The Purpose Fascination - Discovery - Identity - Authenticity One day, Napoleon was speaking of the Divinity of Christ; when General Bertrand said:— “I can not conceive, sire, how a great man like you can believe that the Supreme Being ever exhibited himself to men under a human form, with a body, a…

Jesus has died. The temple veil/curtain was torn from top to bottom. In Jewish tradition, two curtains separated the Holy of Holies from the lesser Holy place during the period of the Second Temple. These curtains were woven with motifs directly from the loom, rather than embroidered, and each curtain…

Pilate was directly responsible to the Emperor for the administrative and financial management of the country. A man had to work himself up through the political and military ranks to become a procurator. Pilate was, therefore, an able man, experienced in the affairs of politics and government as well…

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. He knew this part of His story would come to an end in Jerusalem. Well, on a hill outside of Jerusalem. It’s on this Sunday that crowds of people shouted…

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,…

Matthew 27:45-56 7 April 2023 Good Friday Scene 1. We don’t fully grasp how dramatic the whole crucifixion scene was! Dramatic Supernatural Activity can be quite terrifying.

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…

Since the beginning of this year. We have looked at the book of Matthew. We began with the genealogy of Jesus and these next two weeks we are looking at the ending of the life that Jesus spent here on earth. Next Sunday is Easter and we will look at the Resurrection and what Jesus said to us as He was…

Going on a tour Talking about the whole Christmas story on our Christmas light tour.

Imagine with me you are driving down the road and as you come into a populated area the speed limit drops. You drive on oblivious to the change in conditions and “program”. Just a bit up the road is a roadside speed trap. You zip right on through at the pace you were going before coming into that town.…

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. It says the stripes Jesus bore were for our healing. It says one day - when we are where His will is done perfectly - we’ll all be healed. So for now we are to pray His will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Expect God to move miraculously in and through you in this service.

When Jesus had finished saying all these things, he told his disciples, “You know that the Passover takes place after two days, and the Son of Man will be handed over to be crucified.” Then the chief priests and the elders of the people assembled in the courtyard of the high priest, who was named Caiaphas,…

Where do we start? 10 The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, And the knowledge of the Holy One is understanding. 10 The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom; A good understanding have all those who do His commandments; His praise endures forever.

The unique death of Jesus accomplished something that is often misunderstood. The triumphant resurrection demands an appropriate response.

‘From now on, you never know what God’s lifegiving power will achieve!’ It was, of course, a hint of what would come at the end of all things, the great final resurrection of which Paul and others speak. Where is your happy place? At times we need to find a place where we can “forget” about the things…
