This Sunday, we’ll take a look at John 18:1-19:16 and see the arrest and trial Jesus faced at the hands of his accusers and what his answers mean for our lives. Then on Sunday night, we continue our study of the attributes of God by pondering God’s self-sufficient nature. We hope to see you there!

Sermon Notes
The King on Trial ~ John 18:1-19:16
- The setting:
- One of Jesus’ closest companions for 3 years betrayed him and came with an army (18:1-5)
- The leader of Jesus’ apostles first weakly defended him and then denied him while the others scattered or hid (18:10-27)
- The religious leaders accused him and sought his death (18:12-19:16)
- The governor wanted to release him but broke under political pressure (19:12-16)
- Yet, Jesus was firmly in control of the situation, carrying out the Father’s plan of salvation
- What we learn about Jesus and what that means for us:
- Jesus is God, the Great I Am; so we worship him (18:4-8)
- Jesus is King and through him we belong to a greater Kingdom; so we seek to expand his Kingdom (18:33-38)
- Jesus is God’s Son; so we obey him and rest in his authority (19:7-11)
