Mark 14:27 – 15:15 Introduction What tremendous pressure there must be on athletes at the Olympics! I am thinking particularly of the pressure on skips in curling. Whatever has happened before, they throw the final rock and if they miss, then no matter how well the others on the team have done, they…

A kangaroo court is a sham court trial for the purpose of quickly finding a person guilty; the outcome of such a trial is essentially made in advance. After Jesus was arrested, he was brought before the Sanhedrin, the Jewish ruling body. He had essentially two trials; one religious before the Sanhedrin,…

How do we respond when we've lost the battle against Satan?

Introduction: Illustration - The Reality of Trials It's been said concerning trials and storms of life that, "Either you just came through one, are now entering one, or one looms on your horizon." Main Thought: Prepare today for the persecutions of tomorrow looking for the promise of eternity. Sub-intro:…

I contend that if the trial of Jesus had taken place in our day Jesus would never been found guilty. Moments after word comes out that Jesus has been arrested, all the news organizations would descend upon the High Priest's house. They would want to be briefed, they would request to film the trial "live".…

1 Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me. 2 In my Father’s house are many mansions: if it were not so , I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. 3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there…

In this sermon, Pastor John walk us through what it means to follow Jesus. Some people find themselves following Jesus but from a distance, not identifying with Him, not speaking up for Him not announcing our relationship with Him. Peter provides a strong lesson of how Jesus followers drift away from Him and eventually denying Him before others.

Introduction Good morning and welcome to Dishman Baptist Church. I love going to the Shepherd’s Conference. For me, in my own personal ministry and for my growth it is one of the singular spiritual highlights of my year. But it never fails that almost as soon as I get back from that wonderful, uplifting…

As we begin this morning, we will be spending some time looking at what I think is the most frustrating story of Jesus’ Passion narrative, the story of Jesus before Caiaphas and the Sanhedrin as he is tried for blasphemy and treason. As we delve into this passage, I want you to know that I am going to…

17 Then the high priest rose up, and all those who were with him (which is the sect of the Sadducees), and they were filled with indignation, 18 and laid their hands on the apostles and put them in the common prison. 19 But at night an angel of the Lord opened the prison doors and brought them out, and…

Hello and welcome to today’s podcast. Today we have come to what will be the final section of the LP. Up to this point we have talked about how we should shift our approach to the LP. And how it mirrors that of the Israelite’s exodus form Egypt. And how there is so much more to this prayer than a mere…

How is it possible for the believer to actually rejoice in the trials of life?

He Is Alive Is it Important that He Died and Rose Again 22 And according to the Law, one may almost say , all things are cleansed with blood, and without shedding of blood there is no forgiveness. 25 Therefore He is able also to save forever those who draw near to God through Him, since He always lives…

Being Remembered for the wrong thing.... for a mistake. In 1962, Brian Epstein, record label Decca were looking to sign an up and coming band. They auditioned two young bands at their studios in London, deciding to sign Brian Poole and the Tremeloes. The one they rejected? A four-piece outfit from Liverpool…
