The Betrayal and Arrest of Jesus

John 18:1-12 Moving into Chapter 18, we begin the final section of the book of John where we experience the passion of Jesus. Pastor Rod Bunton describes the betrayal by Judas, the arrest of Jesus by the Roman soldiers, and gives us an overview of the trials that will follow.

Speaking the Truth – Part 2

If the first session on this topic, Pastor Doug Link discussed a definition of lying and we learned that it is never right to lie. What about passages in the Bible where lies are told and it seems that God approves?

The High Priestly Prayer – Part 5

John 17:20-26 In Genesis, we learned about the fall of man that resulted in our separation from God and each other. Pastor Rod Bunton shows us how, in this final section of Jesus’ prayer to the Father, he requests restoration of unity for all believers.

Matthew 18:15-20 Church discipline is clearly laid out by Jesus in Matthew 18 and faithfully following these steps is one of the tests of a true church. Pastor Rod Bunton carefully describes each step and the goal of properly executing them.
