Sunday Morning Praise & Worship

"Gospel Tract Written in Red"

This sermon portrays the agony and significance of Jesus' crucifixion, detailing the brutal scourging, the weight of the cross, and the public humiliation he endured. Unlike typical victims, Jesus willingly went to his death, fulfilling prophecy and demonstrating God's sovereign plan. Pilate's unintentional inscription, "JESUS OF NAZARETH, THE KING OF THE JEWS," became a multilingual proclamation of Jesus' identity, contrasting with the differing reactions of the thieves crucified alongside him. The message underscores the opportunity for repentance, even for those who condemned Jesus, and warns against the grave consequences of rejecting his sacrifice.
