Jesus on Trial #4 - Before the People
March 25, 2018
Mark 15:6-15 | In the most famously rigged yet sovereignly ordained trial in history, Jesus stands in front of three audiences before the verdict is announced: Pilate, the crowd, and a murderer named Barabbas. And in each of these three, we get a deeper glimpse of not only ourselves, but what it means when Christians say, “Jesus took my place.”
Jesus on Trial #3 - Before Pilate
March 18, 2018
John 18:28-38 | The two issues that come up as Jesus stands trial before Pontius Pilate, are the very issues that our culture in the 21st century still has a complicated relationship with today: authority and truth. The Bible sets forth Christ as King and Christ as Truth. And like Pilate, every single one of us will need to make a decision about Jesus.

Matthew 26:36-46 | Jesus' prayer in the garden of Gethsemane is both instructive and inspiring. We see him stand firm through trial as his disciples falter and fail. Through his actions, we learn to pray to be prepared for temptation, persist through pain, and to be submissive with confidence before our Father.

Mark 14:12-31 | The Passover meal was of immense significance for Jesus and the disciples. During the “last supper” Passover meal, Jesus revealed to his disciples that the Passover story they grew up with was ultimately pointing to himself; and that only through him, the true Passover lamb, we can be saved.
