His Story Will Change Your Story! John 19:1-6 NKJV 1 So then Pilate took Jesus and scourged Him. 2 And the soldiers twisted a crown of thorns and put it on His head, and they put on Him a purple robe. 3 Then they said, “Hail, King of the Jews!” And they struck Him with their hands. 4 Pilate then went out again, and said to them, “Behold, I am bringing Him out to you, that you may know that I find no fault in Him.” 5 Then Jesus came out, wearing the crown of thorns and the purple robe. And Pilate said to them, “Behold the Man!” 6 Therefore, when the chief priests and officers saw Him, they cried out, saying, “Crucify Him, crucify Him!” Pilate said to them, “You take Him and crucify Him, for I find no fault in Him.” One Man Should Die For The People I find no fault in Him I. Jesus was Scourged II. Jesus Was Crucified Jesus of Nazareth, The King of the Jews III. It Is Finished! IV. The Resurrection He Is Not Here, But Is Risen!

The Cross & Resurrection Change Everything | Easter at Burnt Hickory What if the final words of Jesus on the cross—"It is finished"—hold the key to your freedom today? This Easter message explores how these three words changed everything, not just for those who witnessed the crucifixion, but for everyone seeking hope, healing, and transformation in their lives now. Key Insights: 1. The Meaning of "Tetelestai" - Jesus' final declaration was used by servants reporting completed tasks, artists finishing masterpieces, and priests confirming sacrifices—all pointing to how Jesus fully satisfied our debt of sin. Mary's Journey from Grief to Joy - Mary came to the tomb seeking closure, not resurrection. Her encounter with the risen Jesus transformed her sorrow into purpose, demonstrating how Jesus can "put you back together" regardless of your struggle. The Resurrection's Transformative Power - The disciples went from hiding in fear to becoming the foundation of Christian faith because of "none other than the undisputed resurrection of King Jesus." This message explores how the historical events of Easter continue to impact lives today. Whether you're seeking to understand how much Jesus loves you, considering giving your life to Him, or finding yourself "in a deep, dark, heavy moment" needing to come back to faith, discover how the cross and resurrection offer more than religious tradition—they provide the power to transform your story completely.

It's hard to comprehend all that Jesus endured on the cross. We cannot begin to fathom the torture and suffering He went through. We should forever appreciate and never lose sight of what Jesus was willing to do on behalf of all humankind. He became the ultimate sacrifice, so that we could live forever. "It Is Finished!" By Arrow Lontine

That, says the scriptures, THE CROSS is an:OFFENSE.The meaning, the thought, the application of the cross is indeed an offense to the NATURAL MAN. That is, the man or woman who has no belief in Christianity. This natural person, man or woman, is offended by the notion of the cross. In fact, this anti-Christian person is offended by anything about the cross, including the blood of Jesus Christ.For Christians, the crucifixion of Jesus Christ, Jesus of Nazareth, was the act of the son of God who laid down his life for mankind, for the sins of man and woman, and without, says the scriptures, this shedding of blood there is:NO REMISSION FOR SIN.None at all.But the concept of sin generally and the need of humankind to accept that propitiation for sin is offensive, even mythological. Some critics, atheistic, even go so far as to call the crucifixion and the shedding of blood:BARBARIC.They go back to the Old Testament, to the very book of Genesis, where there was a sacrifice of an animal, the shedding of that animal's blood as atonement, remission for sins, declaring that to be barbaric as well. But, again, for Christians, without the shedding of blood, the sacrifice of Christ on the cross, there is no remission for sins, none at all. Sin and blood, and of course crucifixion, say the natural man and woman, is ridiculous mythology and stokes the passions of these anti-Christians in this day and age, perhaps as never before.But sin, the coming short of the glory of God is indeed a reality. In fact, it is everywhere in deed and in heart. Evil is a reality, and there really is no cure for it, except ONE! And that is the saving grace of our Lord clearly manifested to us at Calvary, Golgotha, THE CROSS. Thank God for the cross and Christ!Jesus of Nazareth was tried before Pilate, and the verdict was:I FIND NO FAULT IN HIM!But the mob cried out:CRUCIFY HIM! CRUCIFY HIM!Pilate, politician that he was, honored the tradition of the time, to release a prisoner to them and Pilate chose Barrabus over Jesus, so much for justice.To Calvary, he went. Weakened as he was, Simon of Cyrene was conscripted by the Romans to carry the cross of Christ and the Golgotha drama began. Nails were driven into his hands and feet, and there he hung, suffering, parched with a terrible thirst, the crown of thorns on His head causing his blood to drip and his spirit to yearn for the end. He felt all alone, even abandoned by His Father, as he took upon himself the sins of the world, of you and me. In that lonely state, he cried out:MY GOD, MY GOD WHY HAVE YOU FORSAKEN ME?But then, mercifully, it was over. And his parting words were:IT IS FINISHED!That ultimate act of redemption was accomplished once and for all, for all mankind, for you and for me. There were those at the time who saw the event, witnessed the horrible act of Roman crucifixion, and watched the innocent Jesus of Nazareth suffer. They witnessed his body taken down from that cross, and the man Joseph, wrapping it in fine linen and laying the precious body of Jesus Christ in that very own and special tomb.That was Friday, but then came Sunday. On the third day, this son of the living God, with the power of God, rose from the dead, and accomplished the greatest event in human history:THE RESURRECTION.Up from the grave he arose, with a mighty triumph o'er his foes. He arose the victor from the dark domain, and he lives forever with his saints to reign. Blessed are we, by the millions and millions, who have never seen but who believe, nonetheless.BLESSED ARE WE!And we are indeed, for Gentile and Jew, anyone for that matter, all humankind, can have the incredible benefits of the crucifixion and the resurrection, a life of reconciliation here and life eternal there. Death is destroyed, for there now is no more death. We who believe will live eternally with Him so that the life we now live is redeemed, cleansed, and forgiven by His BLOOD. And we will be raised like HIM in our very own resurrection morning to know HIM and to live eternally with HIM.Thank God for that third day. Life here and now is one of joy, unspeakable rejoicing, praise, worship, and thanksgiving because of this great offense, the cross of Jesus Christ, the crucifixion, and the resurrection.So, my fellow Christians, on Easter Sunday and every other day, may we praise God for Jesus of Nazareth, and:THANK GOD FOR HIS UNSPEAKABLE GIFT!

In Week 3 of our Finished series, we trace the story from the garden to the cross—where shame first entered through sin and where Jesus ultimately declared, "It is finished." Through scriptures like Genesis 3 and John 19, we see that Jesus' finished work on the cross breaks the power of shame and invites us into a life of authenticity with God and others. Pastor Matt unpacks how the gospel frees us to stop hiding and start living fully known and fully loved.For more information about Integrity Church, visit our website, http://liveintegritychurch.org Connect with us on social media throughout the week to stay up to date on events and things happening at Integrity!

John 19:30 “It Is Finished”Series: John Preacher: Will SpinkSunday MorningDate: 6th April 2025Passage: John 19:30

"It Is Finished" - These were the last words spoken by our Lord before he gave up his life as a ransom for many. But there were several critical moments that lead up to this very scene. Moments filled with confusion, anxiousness, worship, and wonder. In this short mini-series leading up to resurrection morning, we will walk with Jesus "Before It Is Finished" watching his boldness, loyalty and resoluteness to accomplish what no one else could. --- Our salvation.

In this episode, our friend Sam Rogers discusses the impact and significance of Jesus' words when He said, "It Is Finished" in His dying moments.

On the cross, Jesus declared, “It is finished”—words that mark the complete and final accomplishment of our redemption.Today, as we continue The Gospel: One Sign at a Time, our year-long journey through the Gospel of John, we turn to John 19. In this passage, we'll see that because of Christ's finished work, our salvation is entirely a gift of grace; nothing more is needed, and nothing can be added.To explore more in-depth Bible studies, visit PaulTripp.com/John.

Jesus Did It; It Is Finished! Hebrews 1:3 3The Son is the radiance of God's glory and the exact representation of his being, sustaining all things by his powerful word. After he had provided purification for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty in heaven.

Send us a text"Be Strong and Very Courageous" - Unlocking the Transformative Power of Speaking God's WordThe words from Joshua 1:6-8, “Be strong and very courageous,” serve as the foundation for a life-changing teaching that highlights the transformative power of speaking God's Word over every aspect of your life. These verses are not just historical commands—they are timeless instructions that empower believers to walk in victory, no matter the circumstances. Today, we explore how the act of declaring Scripture over our lives brings about revolutionary change and sets us free from the chains of religion and ritual.Speaking Scripture Over Your Life: The Key to TransformationWhat happens when believers stop treating Scripture as just a text to be read and begin declaring it over their struggles? Revolutionary change. The Bible is more than a book—it is the living, breathing Word of God (Hebrews 4:12) that has the power to transform every situation. When we speak God's promises, they activate divine power that crushes sickness, breaks chains of fear, and opens pathways where there seemed to be none. Instead of accepting defeat, you begin to speak life over every challenge, allowing God's Word to be your ultimate weapon in the spiritual battle.Religious Rituals vs. the Liberating Power of God's WordReligious rituals can keep us bound in a cycle of duty and performance, but God's Word offers the key to true freedom. This teaching explores the profound difference between religious systems that hold us in shackles and the truth of Scripture that sets us free (John 8:32). It's easy to get caught up in traditions that don't change anything, but when we begin to declare the promises of God over our lives, we tap into God's divine power to bring real, lasting change.The Spiritual Battlefield in Everyday LifeThe spiritual battlefield often mirrors our everyday struggles—financial worries, health challenges, relationship difficulties, and persistent fears. In the midst of these challenges, God's instructions to His people remain steadfast: “Do not let this Book of the Law depart from your mouth” (Joshua 1:8). This command isn't a suggestion; it's a blueprint for success. By speaking Scripture daily, you activate a divine strength that helps you overcome obstacles with confidence and courage. Speaking the Word of God over every situation empowers you to walk in victory and trust that God is always at work in your circumstances.Practical Ways to Saturate Your Life with God's WordThe key to unlocking the power of God's Word in your life is consistency. We discuss practical ways to saturate your life with Scripture: listen to the Bible during your commute, play it while you work, and meditate on God's Word day and night (Psalm 1:2). This is not about legalism or religious duty—it's about aligning your heart and mind with God's perspective. When you fill your life with His Word, your thoughts, attitudes, and actions begin to reflect His truth.The Power of Communion: "It Is Finished"The message reaches its pinnacle with a powerful communion service, reminding us that when Jesus declared “It is finished” on the cross (John 19:30), the curtain of religion was torn in two. No more barriers between you and God—only direct access through the sacrifice of Jesus Christ. This act of communion signifies the end of religious rituals that distance us from God and the beginning of a relationship with Christ that gives Support the showhttps://www.pastorbencooper.co.uk/

Closing Thought: The death of Jesus stands as the most significant moment in all of history. His sacrifice didn't merely open the door to eternal life; it guaranteed it for His people. Jesus bore the full weight of God's wrath, serving as a redemptive force for those destined to be saved by grace through faith, bestowing His righteousness upon us. IT IS FINISHED! There is nothing more to achieve. Jesus completed everything for those who have faith. His death defeated death itself, ushering countless sons and daughters into glory.

Tullian is a graduate of Columbia International University, where he received a degree in Philosophy, and Reformed Theological Seminary in Orlando, where he earned his Master of Divinity. A grandson of (Evangelist) Billy and Ruth Graham, Tullian was the Founding Pastor of the former New City Church (in Fort Lauderdale, Florida) which merged with the historic Coral Ridge Presbyterian Church in 2009. He served there as Senior Pastor until June 2015. Tullian has written eight books including, It Is Finished: 365 Days of Good News (2015), One Way Love: Inexhaustible Grace for an Exhausted World  (2013), Glorious Ruin: How Suffering Sets You Free (2012), and Jesus + Nothing = Everything (2011) which won Christianity Today's Book of the Year in 2011. Both “Glorious Ruin” and “Jesus + Nothing = Everything” were ECPA finalists for Book of the Year. He also served as a Contributing Editor to various publications and traveled extensively around the country speaking at conferences, churches, universities, and seminaries. Tullian has appeared on Sean Hannity, Fox & Friends, 60 Minutes, CBS News, The Ingraham Angle, Morning Joe, the 700 Club, and many other TV and radio outlets. During his time at Coral Ridge, Tullian founded LIBERATE—a ministry that sought to “connect God's inexhaustible grace to an exhausted world” through annual conferences (2011–2015), training, book and music publishing, daily blog posts, a daily radio program, and a weekly TV broadcast—and then it all came crashing down in late spring of 2015. As a result of infidelity, he resigned, LIBERATE was closed, his first marriage ended in divorce, and life as he knew it came to an end. In the aftermath of his season of self-destruction, Tullian met his current wife Stacie—a native Texan. They have been married since August 2016, and together they have five children and two grandchildren. Unlike Tullian, Stacie comes from a long history of family brokenness. Adultery, addiction, and abuse make up just a small portion of the many dysfunctional narratives of her large and extended family. When Stacie was 18, she became an unwed teenage mom. Over the next 17 years, she experienced much pain and loss—infidelity, two marriages, and two divorces. All of those hard and painful experiences taught her much about sin and grace, desperation, and deliverance. And as a result, she developed a huge burden for people who have crashed and burned, people who are recovering from their own damaged lives. In the years following Tullian's crash and burn, he was nursed back to health by a handful of seasoned pastors, counselors, and friends, in addition to his loving wife, Stacie. Then in 2017, they started traveling and speaking at churches, recovery places, and other gatherings about how God heals broken people. In early 2019, after being out of pastoral ministry for nearly four years, a group of people from Jupiter, Florida, approached Tullian and Stacie about the possibility of starting a new church. After months of conversations and meetings, prayer and counsel—and with the unequivocal blessing and support of their pastor and the elders of their home church in Cape Coral—Tullian and Stacie relocated to Palm Beach County to start The Sanctuary.

Soddy church of Christ

With the victorious cry: "You have answered Me!" (v21), Ps 22 suddenly transitions from a prayer of suffering in the dark, to praise for salvation in the light, from lament to thanksgiving, from travail to triumph, from a prophecy of Christ's suffering on the Cross to a prophecy of His glorious resurrection and the bringing in of a new age of grace. From being alone in the darkness, forsaken by all, even apparently by God (v1-21), He is now in the light of God's Presence surrounded by a great congregation of His brothers, declaring the universal & eternal consequences of His sacrificial death on our behalf & His resurrection (v22-31). His 1st announcement is the formation of His new spiritual family, the Church, brought forth (born again) by His resurrection as the firstborn among many brethren (v22, Rom 8:29). His great desire is for God to be glorified by His people, especially as they gather together, for praise is the repeating theme in all of these verses (the subject of every verse from v22-32, except v24, which gives a reason for praise). God's glory is the fulfilment of our faith, the ultimate purpose & result of His work of salvation. We see His priority is the formation of the Church & one of her main purposes is to praise God. v23-31 describe the formation of this worshipping community, expanding from Israel (v23) to the whole world (v25-29), as the Gospel declaration of God's gift of righteousness through His finished work is proclaimed down the generations(v30-31). This predicts His death & resurrection will have universal & eternal significance, changing the future of the world, and bringing about the world-wide salvation of the Gentiles, proving that Jesus is the Christ. v23-24: “You who fear the Lord, praise Him!” (true believers fear the Lord, and true praise comes from a submitted heart). “All you descendants of Jacob, glorify Him, and fear Him, all you offspring of Israel! For He has not despised nor abhorred the affliction (v1-21) of the afflicted (Messiah); nor has He hidden His face from Him; but when He cried to Him, He heard (by raising Him from the dead).” This predicts the Gospel will go 1st to Israel, declaring God has fully accepted the value of His sacrificial death (v1-21) as the sufficient basis (payment) for our eternal salvation, and has declared this by hearing His prayer & raising Him from death (v24). The risen Christ calls all Israel to respond & glorify God by believing in Him as Messiah, and in His finished work, submitting to Him & praising Him. He calls all who fear the Lord to praise Him (v23), due to the wonderful work of salvation He's just accomplished (v24). Then v25 predicts the successful formation of a great Assembly of believers, united to Christ, all praising God together, as the Church grows and expands across the world (confirmed by v27): “My praise shall be of You in the great Assembly” (v25a), He gives a reason why they praise God – they share in His great sacrificial feast: "I will pay My vows before those who fear Him. The poor shall eat and be satisfied" (v25b-26a). Someone in bad situation would pray for Divine Intervention (v1-21), and make vows to God that they'd fulfil after their deliverance. This included a peace offering for thanksgiving in the Temple, then sharing the benefits of the sacrifice with family, friends & the poor in a communal meal before God, where they all joyfully partake of the sacrifice (Lev 7:15-16, Deut 12;17-19). Likewise, by His death, Christ purchased & received every blessing for us. He vowed to God to offer His sacrificial blood to God in the heavenly Temple on our behalf and share the wealth (blessing) with us in an everlasting Sacrificial Feast. Since He is the Sacrifice, He shares Himself with us (the Feeding of the 5000 - John 6). Thus, this is a picture of the feast made available to all thru His finished work. He fulfils His vow to share His purchased blessings with us, and we're all invited to come into God's Presence to partake. But only believers will respond, only the poor (in spirit) will eat & be satisfied. Thus, His provision is abundant & sufficient for all our needs (Isa 53:12, 55:1-3). "Those who seek Him will (find Him and) praise the Lord" (v26b). The seekers will become singers. The blessings are not just for this life but also eternal life & glory with God: "Let your heart live forever!" (v26c). The prophecy goes on to predict the conversion of the Gentiles in the Church Age & Millennium as a result of the Christ's death & resurrection: "All the ends of the world shall remember and turn to the Lord, and all the families of the nations shall worship before You." This is a picture of true conversion: (1) REMEMBER - like the prodigal son, people come to their right mind about God, when they hear the Gospel, (2) REPENTANCE - they will turn from their own ways & return to God (like the prodigal) - the turning of the will to God. (3) REVERENCE - the fruit of this repentance unto salvation is a lifes

With the victorious cry: "You have answered Me!" (v21), Ps 22 transitions from lament to thanksgiving, travail to triumph, from prayer of suffering, alone & forsaken in the dark, to praise for salvation in the light of God's Presence, declaring the universal & eternal consequences of His sacrificial death on our behalf, from a prophecy of the Cross to His resurrection, ushering in a new age of grace (v22-31), including the forming of a worshipping community, expanding from Israel (v23) to the world (v25-29), as the Gospel is proclaimed (v30-31). It predicts the universal & eternal significance of His death & resurrection. 1st He announces the formation of His new spiritual family, the Church, reborn by His resurrection as the firstborn of many brethren (v22, Rom 8:29). His desire is for God to be glorified by His people, especially as they gather together, for praise is the repeating theme of all these verses. God's glory is the ultimate fruit of His work. v23-24: “You who fear the Lord, praise Him!” (true believers fear God; true praise is from submitted hearts). “All you descendants of Jacob, glorify Him, and fear Him, all you offspring of Israel! For He has not despised nor abhorred the affliction (v1-21) of the afflicted (Messiah); nor has He hidden His face from Him; but when He cried to Him, He heard (by raising Him from death).” This predicts the Gospel will go 1st to Israel, that God has fully accepted the value of His sacrificial death (v1-21) as the sufficient basis (payment) for our salvation and has declared this by His resurrection. The risen Christ calls all Israel to respond & glorify God by believing in Him & His finished work, submitting to & praising Him, for what He's accomplished. Then v25 predicts the formation of a great Assembly of believers, united to Christ, praising God together, growing & expanding across the world (also v27): “My praise shall be of You in the great Assembly” (v25a). A reason why they praise is they share in His great sacrificial feast: "I will pay My vows before those who fear Him. The poor shall eat and be satisfied" (v25b-26a). A man in trouble prays for God's help (v1-21) & makes vows to fulfil after his deliverance, including a peace offering for thanksgiving in the Temple, then sharing the benefits of the sacrifice with family, friends & poor in a communal meal before God, joyfully partaking of the sacrifice (Lev 7:15-16, Deut 12;17-19). Likewise, Christ purchased every blessing for us. He vowed to God to offer His sacrificial Blood in the heavenly Temple on our behalf & share His purchased blessings with us in an everlasting sacrificial Feast. He fulfils His vow, inviting us to come to God to partake. As the Sacrifice, He shares Himself with us. Only believers (poor in spirit) respond, eat & are satisfied. His provision is abundant & sufficient for all our needs. "Those who seek Him will (find Him and) praise the Lord" (v26b). Seekers become singers. The blessings are for this life & eternal life & glory with God: "Let your heart live forever!" (v26c). Next, we see the conversion of the Gentiles in the Church Age & Millennium as a result of His Sacrifice: "All the ends of the world shall remember and turn to the Lord, and all the families of the nations shall worship before You." A picture of true conversion (prodigal son): (1) REMEMBER - come to a right mind about God, (2) REPENT - turn from sin to God. (3) REVERENCE - the fruit of this repentance is a lifestyle of worship. This Gentile salvation is only accomplished by Christ (Isa 42,49,53, Gen 12:1-3). Thus, the success of the Gospel proves Jesus is the Christ. It's clear these verses are not about David. This victory is the basis for God's Kingdom on earth: "For the Kingdom is the Lord's, and He rules over the nations" (v28). Christ will be made Lord of all people in every realm (v29) - fulfilled (Phil 2:9-11, Ro 14:10-11). The last verses predict the propagation of salvation by the Gospel from one generation to the next: "A posterity (seed - future generations, or 'His seed', born again spiritual offspring, Isa 53:10) shall serve Him. It will be recounted of the Lord to the next generation" (v30). One way they serve Him is by the Gospel. "They will come (to God, to Christ, & come forth to new life), and declare His righteousness (all He did in His perfect life & death, and in giving His perfect righteousness to us) to a people, who will be born (again) that He has DONE this.” This is the message, that "He has FINISHED it" (in 2Chr 4:11 this word describes the finishing of the Temple. Likewise, Jesus finished the work to make us His Temple). Thus, the burden of the Gospel is His finished work. Jesus quoted this verse on the Cross, just before He died in John 19:30: “Jesus said: “It is finished!” May we see our salvation fully accomplished by Him. He paid in full for our forgiveness & abundant & eternal life. Jesus quoted the 1st & last verse on the Cross, showing all Ps 22 is messianic.

This is the fourth in a series of episodes delving into Holy Matrimony in an effort to rekindle an appreciation of this sacred sacrament of the Church that has fallen out of favor in our modern and worldly culture. In this episode, we investigate what Jesus meant when said IT IS FINISHED just before He died on the Cross.

Did the Law of God change after the cross? In Matthew 5:17-19, what does the passing of the first Heaven and first Earth have to do with fulfilling all of the Law and Prophets? What is it about Heaven and earth and the law of God?
