Sunday Worship
Who is Jesus?
John 19:22
March 8, 2026 at 10:00 AM
As we journey more deeply into the Lenten season toward Holy Week, we take up another profound episode in our Scripture which communicates and reveals so much about the true identity of Jesus. The Roman governor, Pilate, after issuing his sentence that Jesus be crucified, scrawled a sign to be mounted above the cross, one that read: He was the King of the Jews. The scribes and teachers of the law sought that the sign be amended to read: He said He was the King of the Jews. Pilate refused to make the change such that, though it was well beyond the understanding of both the scribes and the Roman governor, the truth of Jesus’ claim of messiahship was proclaimed and made known as an objective truth during His suffering upon the Cross and for all time. Join us this Sunday in worship as we examine how, like this, people throughout history have attempted to fashion religions around what benefits them most and around what they wish to be true, rather than based upon how events unfolded here at the Cross.
Good News Preview – March 8
This week in worship we'll look at the words Pilate said to the chief priests when they confronted him about the sign he made for Jesus as he hung on the cross. It's a confrontation between two realities, who both think they theirs is the truth, when in actuality neither is the truth. Join us as we reflect together on the reality we want to be true and the reality that is true through Christ Jesus.
Burning Bush
The book of Exodus isn't too far along when God’s people, the descendants of Joseph, though previously flourishing in Egypt, come now to live under a new Pharaoh of whom we are told “Joseph meant nothing.”
