    God decrees the death of his Son for the death his people deserve to die.

    Scripture Introduction One way to get at the significance of the story of redemption is to observe the contrasts which God builds into Bible events. For example, as the hours wind down to the crucifixion, we see the bent of the human heart: face-to-face with an innocent man, men plot his death ...read more

    based on 1 rating
     | 5,313 views

    We feel stuck in responsibilities, trying to maintain something just because we’ve inherited it, and are tempted to think of leadership as image. In a relationship to Christ, responsibility is transformed into freedom.

    He was tired to the bone, but rose to go trim the wicks and boost the light again. How many times had he been to these lamps tonight? How many times had he wanted just to give it up and go to bed? How many times had he hoped that some magic answer would swoop in his open window and land on his ...read more

    We are living in a whatever world -- a culture in which truth has been stripped of its meaning and replaced with personal preference.

    This one word stands out in John’s gospel. What is God trying to tell us?

    Truth John 18:28-38 How many of you like to be told the truth? We may like to be told the truth when it favors us, but what about when it does not? How many of you ladies have said, “Do I look fat in this?” What do you want to hear? When we hear the truth from God, it is not always what we ...read more

    based on 1 rating
     | 4,851 views

    There is a very serious lie rampant in our culture: there is no moral truth, no right or wrong that universally applies. Truth is a person.

    What Is Truth? In But Not Of John 18:28-40 May 22, 2005 Intro: When Pilate met God, he ended up articulating a timeless question. Listen to the story from John 18:28-40 (NLT) “Jesus’ trial before Caiaphas ended in the early hours of the morning. Then he was taken to the headquarters of the ...read more

    based on 4 ratings
     | 4,941 views

    The lies are subtle, and they go deep down. They are rooted in painful experiences of hurt, of rejection, and the antidote is to discover what God’s truth says to those lies, and to hear that truth speak to those experiences.

    Turning Towards  Truth April 9, 2006 (Palm Sunday) John 18:28-38 Intro: Today is Palm Sunday, where we celebrate Jesus’ arrival in Jerusalem, where the people welcomed Him and celebrated Him as a King, singing hosanna’s, laying palms and even their cloaks on the ground for His donkey to ...read more

    The story of Eric Liddell (Chariots of Fire) forms the backdrop for this sermon on Christ the King Sunday. Are we willing to surrender all of our commitments and allegiences to Christ the King?

    1Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles, and let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us. 2Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy ...read more

    This is a topical sermon on biblical truth from "The Exchanged Life" perspective which is both evangelistic and discipleship in approach.

    Sometimes I wonder whether there is really a search for the truth today. Circumstances and situations cause me to ask, “Do people really want to know the truth? As far back as Biblical times there is the indication of a search for truth. There were people called the Gnostics who thought that all ...read more

    Jesus stands before Pilate. Jesus’ kingdom is not from this world, but he is still King of kings and Lord of lords.

    John 18:28-40 "Where's the Kingdom?" INTRODUCTION It has often been said that Jesus, "Lived so that he could die." Such comments stress the crucifixion, but down play Jesus' life. I think it might be more accurate to say that Jesus died because he lived. In other words, Jesus bringing in the ...read more
