Mon 7/20 You know back in the day kids caught stealing could sometimes work their way out of it. For example if they got caught stealing from a diner, they’d get thrown in the back and have to do dishes to pay their way. It seems pretty unlikely that that would happen today. If you do the crime, you pay the time. In his message today Pastor Ben wants you to know that there's no amount of work you can do to make up for your sins. The only way to have your sins forgiven is through a relationship with Jesus. Here's Pastor Ben in the Book of John chapter 18, as he begins his message “Jesus Before Pilate.”

I love Pastor Ben's perspective on the passage that's being taught today. Many people might equate the rooster crowing as a warning, or even as a confirmation of “see, I told you so I predicted that this would happen, and here we are.” But we all know that a rooster crowing signifies that it's very early in the morning, before sunrise of a new day. What hope it suddenly offered to Peter that from this moment he would have remorse about what he done, and that he would turn from his sin, and repent. Here's Pastor Ben in the Book of John chapter 18, as he continues his message “Don't Chew More Than You Can Swallow.”

It would be like sewage and the sweetest grapevine commingling. Imagine if you had to taste those two things together, or the mix of those two smells being in the same place. In a similar way today Pastor Ben expresses how sin and blessings don't coexist. If you're choosing a wayward lifestyle, then God won't be extending His blessing in your life. If you're experiencing abundant blessings, that most likely means that there's not much willful sin in your life. Keep in mind that the sewage has no part being near the sweetest grapevine. Here's Pastor Ben in the Book of John chapter 18, as he begins his message “Don't Chew More Than You Can Swallow.”

Although it may feel a bit disheartening to learn about Judas's betrayal Pastor Ben brings some encouragement today. Helping direct your attention and focus to the fact that the other 11 disciples remained faithful and resolute in their allegiance to Jesus. After His death and resurrection they went on to be pillars of the faith, and brought the good news to the nations. When you choose to follow Jesus you're His forever. That should give you assurance, hope, and confidence for the future. Here's Pastor Ben in the Book of John chapter 18, as he continues his message “Betrayal.”

It's like one of those cinematic moments where you hear an army marching in unison, and the rhythm of their steps is making your heart pound. The background music is suspenseful, and you're on the edge of your seat wondering how it's going to turn out in the end. Today Pastor Ben is painting the picture of what it must have felt like as the scene unfolded where Judas and the soldiers came to confront Jesus in the garden. What will you do when you're confronted about speaking of Jesus? Here's Pastor Ben in the Book of John chapter 18, as he begins his message “Betrayal.”
