The Hour Has Come

John 12:20-26 Some Greeks who followed the God of Israel were in Jerusalem for the Passover and sought out Jesus. Pastor Rod Bunton explains that Jesus’ remarks to the Greeks revealed two things: that the time had finally come to glorify Him and that the salvation offered by following Him was available to the whole world and not the Jews alone.

The Humble Entry of a King

John 12:12-19 As Jesus arrived at Jerusalem for the Passover events, he arrived on the colt of a donkey and the crowd began praising him. Pastor Rod Bunton shows us how this event had been prophesied hundreds of years earlier and that they did not understand that this King was preparing to die.

Self-sacrificial Worship

John 12:1-11 On his way to the Passover events in Jerusalem, Jesus made a stop in Bethany to dine with friends where Mary caused a stir with her incredible display of worship. Pastor Rod Bunton explains the scene, the significance, and the reaction of those who witnessed it.

The Plot to Kill Jesus

John 11:45-57 The miracle of resurrecting Lazarus stirred up those who witnessed and heard about it — some becoming believers and others were threatened by the implications. Pastor Rod Bunton explains the motivation of the Pharisees, who had political reasons to kill Jesus but dot not realize that they were just part of a predetermined plan of God.
