John 19:23-24 “He Chose to Invite Us In”

Message: John 19:23-24  “He Chose to Invite Us In”

Today we’ll look at God’s promise in the garment as another of the gifts God has given to us. Jesus’ robe was a gift, well crafted, and represented the life he lived. Robes were given as gifts from a family when a young man left home. According to rabbinic tradition, a robe represented the family name and tribe. Jesus’ robe was of excellent quality. The Roman soldiers did not want to tear something valuable apart. At the cross, the soldiers took Jesus’ seamless robe from him. He wore the ugly garment of nakedness, indignity, and failure. He wore our sin.

2 Corinthians 5:16-21 "He Chose Forgiveness"

Message: 2 Corinthians 5:16-21  “He Chose Forgiveness”

The hands that formedyou in your mother’s womb are the hands that were stretched out and willingly nailed to the cross. All your sins—greed, lies, jealousy, pride, rebellion—and all your mistakes were nailed there with Jesus. He nailed it!

John 1:1-4, 14 "What if God was One of Us?"

Message: "What if God was One of Us?” John 1:1-4, 14

In this message we’ll look into the deep truth of the Christian faith, that God became one of us. The crown of thorns that he wore also has deep symbolism. Looking back on old testament passages that speak of the curse and thorns, we’ll see just what Christ bore for us.
