We love God’s word, and we believe that teaching the Bible faithfully and accurately is one of the best ways to help believer’s grow in their relationship with the Lord. We also believe that the Word of God is the only thing that is ever going to bring anyone into a saving relationship with God. Please feel free to check out our sermons here on line, and we would love to have you join us on Sunday’s as well.
Judgment of the Jews
Luke 22:63-71. The Jews arrested Jesus and brought Him before the High Priest, and eventually before the full Sanhedrin who have already determined that He should be put to death, and now seek to justify that decision.
Peter’s Failure
Luke 22:57-62. An incredibly disappointing event as we see the disciples who had been really the leader of the twelve deny three times that he knew Jesus.
The Betrayal of a Kiss
Luke 22:47-53. The betrayal of the Lord which Jesus has been pointing to as coming for some time in His teaching arrives. Judas leads a crowd to arrest the Lord, and in a pretense of affection for Jesus, He betrays the Lord with a kiss.
The Hour of Temptation
Luke 22:39-46. Jesus instructs His disciples to watch and pray that they not enter into temptations, then He models for us the need for prayer when tempted.
Preparing to Witness to a Hostile World
Luke 22:35-38. Jesus instructs His disciples that one this next mission they are about to be sent on, this time they are to go prepared to be received in a different manner than the last time they were sent out alone. This time they will not be received so warmly, in fact as the world has rejected Jesus, so His disciples will be rejected. They are then to go with preparations made for their provisions.
Satan’s Demands
Luke 22:31-34. Peter, the leader of the disciples, after the dispute about which of them is the greatest, is addressed with the shocking words of Jesus: “Simon, Simon, Satan has demanded to have you, to sift you like wheat!” Praise God this is recorded in the Bible for us, because great hope if found in the remainder of Jesus words to Peter and ultimately to us. The devil is powerful, but the devil is God’s devil!
Dead in Sin
Ephesians 2:1-10 The good News of Jesus also contains some really bad news, and it is not until we understand that bad news that the good news will ever be desired or embraced. Once our spiritual condition apart from Christ is seen, the gospel does truly become the greatest good news we could ever hear.
God’s Sovereignty in Action
Luke 22:21-32 During the events of the last supper, Jesus informs the disciples that one of them is betraying the Lord. In today’s text we see the conversation that takes place after this becomes known.
The Lord’s Supper
Luke 22:14-23 Jesus and the Disciples eat the Passover meal together Thursday evening of Passion week, and Jesus uses the symbolism of this meal to show that Passover is really a celebration of the promise of God that one day a satisfactory lamb would be sacrificed providing salvation for all God’s people.
Preparing the Passover Lamb
Luke 21:37-22:13 Jesus prepares for the conclusion of His first coming in preparation for the final Passover meal He would eat with His disciples before the cross.
