Send a textLuke 23:6–25 highlights how Jesus stands trial before Herod and Pilate and is repeatedly declared innocent—yet He is still condemned under the pressure of accusations and a shouting crowd. The message invites us to slow down and see Jesus as the spotless Lamb, the only One truly without guilt, which is exactly why He can bear the guilt of sinners.The sermon also warns us about the power of the crowd. What starts as accusation quickly becomes “Crucify him!”—a reminder of how easily truth can be drowned out by noise and momentum. The challenge is practical: are we letting God’s Word shape our thinking, or are we being formed by whatever voices are loudest?Finally, the sermon focuses on Barabbas—a guilty man released while Jesus takes his place. That exchange points straight to the gospel: we are the guilty, and Jesus, proven innocent, is condemned in our place so that forgiveness, cleansing, and new life are possible for all who repent and trust Him.

Therefore whoever wishes to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God.Colossians 3:1-2 - If then you have been raised with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. 2 Set your minds on things that are above, not on things that are on earth.1 John 4:18 - There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear. For fear has to do with punishment, and whoever fears has not been perfected in love.

Send a text3 He was despised and rejected by men,    a man of sorrows and acquainted with grief;and as one from whom men hide their faces    he was despised, and we esteemed him not.4 Surely he has borne our griefs    and carried our sorrows;yet we esteemed him stricken,    smitten by God, and afflicted.5 But he was pierced for our transgressions;    he was crushed for our iniquities;upon him was the chastisement that brought us peace,    and with his wounds we are healed.

If it were not so, would I have told you that I go to prepare a place for you? 3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and will take you to myself, that where I am you may be also. 4 And you know the way to where I am going.” 5 Thomas said to him, “Lord, we do not know where you are going. How can we know the way?” 6 Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. 7 If you had known me, you would have known my Father also. From now on you do know him and have seen him.”

Send a textIn Luke 22:63–23:5, we see three scenes after Jesus’ arrest that center on one question: Who is Jesus? As He’s beaten and mocked, His captors taunt Him to “prophesy,” even though Jesus has been speaking God’s truth and predicting these events all along. The irony is clear—Jesus is not powerless or confused; He is the true Prophet who knows exactly what is happening.Next, Jesus stands before the council and plainly affirms His identity as the Son of God. Instead of receiving the truth that could save them, the leaders treat it as grounds for condemnation. The sermon invites us to respond differently—with humility, repentance, and faith.Finally, Jesus is brought before Pilate with distorted accusations, including the claim that He is a king. The passage presses the question home for every listener: Do we truly recognize Jesus for who He is—our Savior and King—and will we surrender to His kingdom?

Send a text63 Now the men who were holding Jesus in custody were mocking him as they beat him. 64 They also blindfolded him and kept asking him, “Prophesy! Who is it that struck you?” 65 And they said many other things against him, blaspheming him.66 When day came, the assembly of the elders of the people gathered together, both chief priests and scribes. And they led him away to their council, and they said, 67 “If you are the Christ, tell us.” But he said to them, “If I tell you, you will not believe, 68 and if I ask you, you will not answer. 69 But from now on the Son of Man shall be seated at the right hand of the power of God.” 70 So they all said, “Are you the Son of God, then?” And he said to them, “You say that I am.” 71 Then they said, “What further testimony do we need? We have heard it ourselves from his own lips.”Then the whole company of them arose and brought him before Pilate. 2 And they began to accuse him, saying, “We found this man misleading our nation and forbidding us to give tribute to C

Send a textIn Luke 22:31–62, Jesus warns Peter that Satan wants to “sift” the disciples, but He also gives hope—Jesus is praying for them, and He promises restoration: “when you turn again, strengthen your brothers.” The sermon highlights the importance of guarding our hearts through prayer and humility, because confidence in ourselves can set us up for a fall.As Jesus is arrested, the disciples misunderstand how God’s kingdom advances. They’re ready to fight, but Jesus shows that His kingdom won’t come by force—it will come through surrender, obedience, and faithful witness. In the courtyard, Peter’s fear and disappointment lead to a heartbreaking moment: he denies even knowing Jesus. But when the rooster crows and Jesus looks at him, Peter breaks down and weeps—an image of conviction and repentance.This message invites us to take our weakness seriously, lean into prayer, lay our disappointments at the foot of the cross, and trust that Jesus meets real failure with grace, forgiveness, and a call to return.
