    The story of Judas Iscariot, and his betrayal of Jesus, should remind us to examine ourselves. We need to avoid betraying Jesus in twenty-first century style. As Judas attempted to re-make Jesus and then abandon Him when He was not the "Jesus" Judas wan

    Surely Not I, Teacher? Those are the words of Judas as he was about to betray Jesus. We now approach the Easter season. In our culture Easter is a happy holiday with bunnies and candy. But the events leading up to what we could anachronistically call “the first Easter” were anything but happy ...read more

    Many people are talking about Mel Gibson’s new movie "The Passion of the Christ." This study will take a deeper look at the Roman scourging and crucifixion that Jesus willingly endured on our behalf.

    The Passion: The Rest of the Story William Hill, who was the founder of Hopewell Presbyterian Church, used to tell the story of an old preacher who was approached by some of the members in his congregation. The members told him that he was boring them to tears and that their patience was wearing ...read more

    Sermon preached Easter weekend in the first person - pastor dressed in period costume as Pontius Pilate - and members of the congregation interacting as characters in the Easter story.

    Allow me to introduce myself to you. My name is Pontius Pilate. You probably know me as the Roman official who presided over the trial that ended with the sentence of crucifixion for Jesus the Christ. Being the governor of an out-of-the-way and insignificant Roman province like Judea was not ...read more

    A look at the implications of the actions of some of those who participated in the crucifixion drama.

    THE CRISIS OF THE CROSS Matthew Chapter Twenty-Seven The life and ministry of Jesus Christ might be summed up with one simple statement, "He set His face toward Calvary."

    50-DAY SPIRITUAL ADVENTURE A look at the life of Judas to see what happens when dreams die, so we don’t have to miss the resurrection.

    Running after dreams without God is futile. When we achieve our own ambitions apart from God’s dream we come up empty. ▸ Alexander the Great was not satisfied, even when he had subdued the nations of world. He wept because there were no more worlds to conquer; Alexander died at an early ...read more

    Can it be that we are guilty of binding the only one who can set us free?

    ILLUSTRATION: Have a rope to carry throughout the message. You may want to tie your own hands or the hands of some of the leaders of your church to illustrate how unfaithfulness limits their ministry. You also may want to tie the hands of someone in the audience and put a leader on them to ...read more

    Judas, don’t go there. Why Jesus is the cure for suicide no matter how bad things are going in your life.

    This sermon is a very simple walk through of portions of the trials Jesus had to go through on the night he was betrayed with very brief application.

    March 22, 2006 Matthew 27:1-2 Early in the morning, all the chief priests and the elders of the people came to the decision to put Jesus to death. They bound him, led him away and handed him over to Pilate, the governor. In the last hour of darkness we saw Judas hand Jesus over for trial ...read more

    The Great Pretender Mt. 27:1-5 03/26/06 You are all familiar with the 1956 song by the Platters ‘The Great Pretender’ with the lyrics, “Oh yes, I’m the great pretender, pretending that I’m doing well; My need is such, I pretend too much; I’m lonely but no one can tell.” I’m sure that this song ...read more

    The 6th in a series going through all Christ endured leading up to the Cross. The series ends Easter Sunday with the Glorious Resurrection

    Over the last few weeks we have been looking at what Jesus endured. He went through so much just so the lost world could have life.
