In this sermon Tony leads us through the story of the resurrection of Jesus Christ. And the question that rises is “Jesus is alive, so what? What bearing does the resurrection of Christ have on our lives day by day?"

We only get one verse to explain Jesus' life from age 12-30. If we are to live like Jesus, we should also grow as He grew, not matter our age. How can you grow in wisdom, stature, favor with God, and favor with people?

The community of Jesus Christ is a community of burden bearing. What does that mean? How do we do that? 

Did you know that the cross is “your story?” Did you ever think of Jesus’ crucifixion as your story? It is. Gloriously, it is the way we are forgiven for our sins. But it is more. The cross ushers us into new life, just like a marriage ceremony leads you into a new life. 

We have reached the cross of Christ in our study through Luke. But before we look at it, Tony spends this sermon showing what God’s plan was for the cross and why the cross was the only answer God had to love us.

In this sermon Tony walks us through Jesus’ last two trials, before Herod and Pilate. It is a violent, chaotic, unjust, unlawful, scene. But there is something bigger happening than all that we see or perceive. There is a much bigger story, eternal, supernatural, story unfolding which has been authored by God. God is the architect of everything that is happening to Jesus.

When Pilate asked Jesus “what is truth” it was because Jesus said He was in the world to testify to truth, and everyone who is of truth listened to His voice. In this sermon Tony leads us to focus on what Jesus meant by “those who are of the truth listen to my voice.” The implications of Jesus’ words are huge, practical, radical, and life altering.

Tony leads us to really think about the question that Pilate asked Jesus, “what is truth?” Why did Pilate ask this? What if you were asked this, could you answer? Does truth matter to you? 

In this sermon Tony wraps up our look at the life of Judas by sharing three lessons we can learn from his life and death. And then Tony takes us into Pilate’s courtroom for Jesus’ first civil trial.
