Message: Dealing With Betrayal

Mar 28/29, 2009
How do you handle betrayal and desertion? These are two things humans do not usually deal with very well. Often they bring up feelings of anger, distrust, etc. Yet, Jesus’ example shows us to approach emotional pain with compassion, wisdom and authenticity.

Jesus Models Out Servanthood

Humility is a slippery thing. Some say that as soon as you start thinking about how humble you are, you’ve crossed the line into pride. During that last week of His life, Jesus taught His disciples a valuable lesson about what it means to be truly humble when He suddenly got up from the meal and began washing their feet—a task normally reserved for the servant of the household. The disciples, notably Simon Peter, were shocked at this display, yet their response to Jesus’ demonstration of love revealed a great deal about their own humility. What does Jesus’ lesson reveal to you?

Jesus Celebrates the Passover
Message: Jesus Celebrates the Passover
Series: The Last Week of Jesus
Martin Nieuwets speaking
Mar 14/15
During that last Passover meal Jesus spent with his disciples, Jesus revealed a shocking reality—one of them would betray Him. “Surely not I, Lord?” they said one after the other, including Judas, the one who would betray Him. While Jesus still had to die, what sadness He must have felt knowing His arrest would be initiated at the hands of one of His own. Jesus warned Judas of the dire consequences of his actions; however, this did not change the betrayer’s heart. Personal desires had trumped devotion to the Lord. May our desires be to see God’s kingdom come and His will be done.

Jesus Receives Extravagant Love
During Passover, Jesus was eating with friends in Bethany when a woman came and anointed Him with expensive perfume. Many who saw this act condemned it as a waste and harshly rebuked her, but Jesus silenced them and brought attention to the incredible love that was shown to Him. She was honouring her Lord. Are we doing the same?

February 28/March 1, 2009
No one likes criticism, yet it is something that each and every one of us faces in our lives. In these times, we can turn to the One who understands it better than anyone. Jesus dealt with a tremendous amount of criticism and controversy during His short time on earth, and it continues to happen even today. May we observe and learn from how He responds.
