Jesus' Trial, Peter's Denial

February 18, 2024 • Pastor Phillip Macdonald • John 18:12–27

The Apostle John interweaves writing about Jesus’ trial and Peter’s denial in John 18:12-27. In doing so, John shows the staggering contrast between Christ’s faithfulness and Peter’s unfaithfulness. Peter’s story resonates with anyone who has ever been painfully reminded of their unfaithfulness to their Savior, and their failure to live up to their own commitments to Christ. But, restoring hope is always found in Jesus, our faithful Savior.

It comes after 20:30-31 and reveals many important themes to tie up loose ends and show His involvement in the lives of His followers after His resurrection. What will life be like now that Christ has risen?

"My Lord and My God!"

March 31, 2024 • Pastor Phillip Macdonald • John 20:19–31

On Sunday morning, the heart of Jesus began to beat and his blood began to flow. He put death to death, removing its sting and swallowing it up in victory. Because of the resurrection, we can have confidence in the gospel, purpose in this present life, and hope for the future. But, it’s not enough to simply believe the resurrection happened. We must confess that Jesus is our Lord and our God. When we do, Christ radically changes our lives…
