In the sermon "A Memorable Trail," Pastor Clarence contrasts two significant trials in history: O.J. Simpson’s and Jesus’ trial before Pilate. While the O.J. trial is remembered for its drama and media frenzy, it is argued that Jesus’ trial is the most memorable. In Matthew 27, Jesus stands before Pilate, silent in the face of false accusations. His silence astonishes Pilate, highlighting Jesus' rejection of self-defense and offering a powerful example of how we should respond to gossip and injustice.

This sermon then focuses on the crowd’s choice between Jesus and Barabbas, a notorious criminal. Despite Jesus’ innocence, the crowd demands His crucifixion and the release of a murderer. This “great exchange” symbolizes Jesus taking the place of the guilty, reflecting His sacrificial love for humanity. We are called to reflect on which “Jesus” they choose: the Savior who offers freedom from sin, or false saviors that lead to destruction. The trial of Jesus, though a historical event, remains ongoing, as each person must decide to accept or reject Jesus as their Savior.

Dr. Royce Evans shares a message titled Growing Closer. In this powerful sermon, we explore the story of Peter's denial of Jesus and how, even in our moments of failure, God offers us the opportunity to grow closer to Him. Through Luke 22:54-62, we witness Peter's moment of weakness, but also his eventual restoration and the grace that Jesus extends to him. Join us as we reflect on the deep lessons found in this passage, learning how to overcome our struggles and draw nearer to God, no matter how far we may have drifted.

Elder Rob Teigen shares a passage from Matthew (chapter 26, verses 47-56) and leads us through the moment of Jesus’ betrayal in the Garden of Gethsemane, where Judas arrives with a mob to betray Jesus with a kiss. This moment highlights deep themes of betrayal, surrender, and trust in God’s plan.

In this sermon, Pastor Clarence leads us in a reflect on the profound paradox of Good Friday, drawing inspiration from Charles Dickens' famous quote from A Tale of Two Cities, "It was the best of times, it was the worst of times." While Good Friday symbolizes the greatest act of sacrifice, it is also a day of sorrow and agony. This sermon takes us on a journey through Jesus' experience in Gethsemane, highlighting His prayer, solitude, and emotional struggle as He prepares for the cross. We learn how Jesus' dependency on His Father and His willingness to submit to God's will can inspire us to start each day with purpose, prayer, and surrender to God's plan. Whether in moments of peace or hardship, Jesus shows us how to find strength and clarity through our relationship with God, offering us rest and renewal each day.
