At the center of Christian living is Jesus, our source and giver of life.

Preparing for "Living with Authority" | Sermon for November 24, 2024

November 24, 2024 • Rev. Dr. Craig S. Brown • John 18:33–38

"The truth is out there", was the slogan of the popular TV show, The X-Files. The truth in case of this week's passage is the source of disagreement between Pilate and Jesus. Pilate believes that the truth is a "what" while Jesus knows that truth is a "who", namely himself. Our search for the truth eventually points to Jesus who gives life meaning and wholeness unto salvation.
