Between The Rock and a Hard Place

October 13, 2024 • Stephen Davey • Luke 23:1–25

In part one of our study of Jesus’ trial before Pilate, we learn about this political ruler—a man who valued political expediency over moral authority. We also learn about another prominent political figure—Herod—a man who viewed Jesus as a spectacle to observe, not a Savior to obey. Through this study, Stephen Davey shows us the various ways Jesus responded to these two men, and how we can respond to skeptics and antagonists in our world today.

The Preacher's Kid

October 27, 2024 • Stephen Davey • Luke 23:18–25

One of the most profound illustrations of the gospel occurred just an hour or two before the cross, when a prisoner swap occurred between Jesus and a murderer named Barabbas. Pastor Davey sheds fresh insight on this picture of substitutionary atonement found in Luke 23.

The Unlawful Trials of the Lamb

October 6, 2024 • Stephen Davey • Luke 22:63–71

As Jesus prepares to face the wrath of the high priest, the Jewish religious leaders, and the Roman Empire, He will face injustice, unlawful prosecution, and an illegal conviction. In spite of it all, Christ was committed to His mission—to die on the cross for our sins so we could live with Him in heaven for eternity.

When the Rooster Crowed Twice

September 29, 2024 • Stephen Davey • Luke 22:54–62

From this painful and challenging account, Stephen Davey unpacks some lessons we can learn from Peter’s failure, Jesus’ response, and Peter’s ultimate redemption.
