Jesus the Messiah - A Risen Messiah

(Matthew 28)

Happy Easter! Jesus is alive. The tomb is empty. Whether you believe that’s true or not, it requires a response. We see three responses in Matthew 28.

If you believe Jesus is alive, don’t be afraid.

If you don’t believe Jesus is alive, explain why the tomb is empty.

If you do believe that Jesus is alive, share the good news.

Jesus the Messiah - A Mocked Messiah

(Matthew 27:27-44)

Why does Jesus choose to endure suffering and death? This is the central question of this sermon.

In this last week of Lent, as we prepare to celebrate Easter, we see that Jesus was willing to endure humiliation and a painful death on the cross because of His great love. He wants to have a relationship with you. Jesus loves you.

Jesus the Messiah - An Overcoming Messiah

(Matthew 26:47-56)

This is the fifth sermon in the series, 'Jesus the Messiah.' We have strong ideas about power, what it looks like and how to get it. People living in the time of Jesus also had ideas of what power looked like. Jesus does not match up to either of these ideas of power. In this passage, we see an example of Jesus’ power and how it subverts our idea of power.

During the season of Lent, as we prepare to celebrate Easter, we will see how Jesus fulfills God's promises to send a rescuer. This week, we see Jesus' overcoming, true power that leads to freedom.
