So how can a person know whether or not they are in right standing with God? Steve Gallagher shares on this today in “The Word of the Cross”, and what it means to truly enter in, and live out, the Christian life.

Why Do the Nations Rage? by Josh Rowand on 07/17/2024

Why Do the Nations Rage?

Sermons

If we do not approach Jesus in humility and need, we will strive to have a life apart from Him and His rule.

Spiritual Growth

In Jesus’ final hours, He was put on trial before Herod Antipas and Pontius Pilate. As we learn in today’s sermon, these interactions shed light on different ways we may resist God’s will in our lives.

Along with Luke 23:1-12, please consider reviewing Matthew 27:11-14, Mark 15:1-5, John 18:28-38 and Psalms 1-2 to get the fuller context for today’s message.
