Two weeks ago, we talked about the death of Jesus. And to the naked eye, Jesus’ death was the outcome of arrogant and jealous religious leaders, a weak politician and a broken system. Without knowing who Jesus was, how Jesus lived and the things Jesus said, his story might just be one of more injustice....
Have you ever been lost? And by lost I mean you had a destination in mind but you just had no idea how to get there. Have you ever been there or have those moments? You know where you want to be and you’re going, but your GPS is not cooperating. It is just spinning...
Tonight we’re going to walk through John’s description of the crucifixion of Jesus. Each gospel writer told the story of the cross, but none of them told it completely or comprehensively. The Holy Spirit inspired Matthew, Mark, Luke and John to write not only what they remember and not only what they have been told,...
“Search me, O God, and know my heart; Try me, and know my anxieties; And see if there is any wicked way in me, And lead me in the way everlasting.” (Psalm 139:23-24 NKJV) What happens when God starts revealing our hearts to us? The word says, “to search me God, know my heart, try...
Tonight’s passage ends the six phase trial of Jesus that we’ve been talking about for a couple of months. In a span of twelve, no more than eighteen hours, Jesus has been betrayed by a friend, arrested by a crowd of hundreds of soldiers and officers; he had been illegally questioned by the former high...

“This is the verdict: Light has come into the world, but people loved darkness instead of light because their deeds were evil.” (John 3:19 NIV) What is life about in light of the reality that the Light has come into the world? Are we seeing the Light? Are we walking in the Light? More importantly,...
In this passage, the sixth and final phase of Jesus’ trial is nearing its conclusion. We’ve been talking about this for weeks, but I don’t think that it’s right to run into the next passage without remembering or even repeating the last passage. Thus far, Jesus has been betrayed by a friend, arrested by a...
In this week’s sermon, our guest speaker Joanne DiLeo looks at two familiar verses from Proverbs in a new way in order to help us understand just how critical it is for us to “Trust In The Lord.”
So the passage takes us to the sixth and final stage of Jesus’ trail and it begins the journey to the cross. As we’ve been talking about this last few weeks, there wasn’t a single thing done to Jesus on the night of his arrest or the morning of his trial that was just. His...
