God is truth, God is love, and God is being itself. Today's Catechism readings begin to unpack the eternal nature of God and share with us God's “innermost secret." Fr. Mike teaches us that because God made us in his image and likeness, then we too are called to embody truth and love. Today's readings are Catechism paragraphs 212-221. This episode has been found to be in conformity with the Catechism by the Institute on the Catechism, under the Subcommittee on the Catechism, USCCB.

So Pilate entered his headquarters again and called Jesus and said to him, “Are you the King of the Jews?” Jesus answered, “Do you say this of your own accord, or did others say it to you about me?” Pilate answered, “Am I a Jew? Your own nation and the chief priests have delivered you over to me. What have you done?” Jesus answered, “My kingdom is not of this world. If my kingdom were of this world, my servants would have been fighting, that I might not be delivered over to the Jews. But my kingdom is not from the world.” Then Pilate said to him, “So you are a king?” Jesus answered, “You say that I am a king. For this purpose I was born and for this purpose I have come into the world—to bear witness to the truth. Everyone who is of the truth listens to my voice.” Pilate said to him, “What is truth?”After he had said this, he went back outside to the Jews and told them, “I find no guilt in him. But you have a custom that I should release one man for you at the Passover. So do you want me to release to you the King of the Jews?” They cried out again, “Not this man, but Barabbas!” Now Barabbas was a robber.

The Peaceful Prince | Charlie GrimesDescription:It is easy to sing about the "Prince of Peace" by candlelight on Christmas Eve. It is much harder to follow Him when the candles go out and the conflict begins.In this message, Pastor Charlie Grimes takes us from the manger in Bethlehem to the courtroom of Pontius Pilate. We discover that Jesus didn't just come to bring a sentimental feeling; He came to establish a Kingdom that operates on an entirely different power source.We are faced with a choice: Will we choose the way of Barabbas (force, coercion, and "winning"), or will we choose the way of the Prince of Peace?Key Takeaways:Why you cannot build a Kingdom from above using methods from below.The difference between the "Christmas Card" Jesus and the Real Jesus.How to fight for the Truth without using the world's weapons.Scripture: Isaiah 9:6-7, John 18:33-37Speaker: Charlie GrimesDate: December 28, 2025Church: Walnut Creek Mennonite Church#Sermon #PrinceOfPeace #John18 #Anabaptist #WalnutCreekMennonite #PeaceChurch #Christianity

Then Pilate entered into the judgment hall again, and called Jesus, and said unto him, Art thou the King of the Jews? Jesus answered him, Sayest thou this thing of thyself, or did others tell it thee of me? Pilate answered, Am I a Jew? Thine own nation and the chief priests have delivered thee unto me: what hast thou done? Jesus answered, My kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom were of this world, then would my servants fight, that I should not be delivered to the Jews: but now is my kingdom not from hence. Pilate therefore said unto him, Art thou a king then? Jesus answered, Thou sayest that I am a king.

In this message, we return to the Gospel of John with a powerful passage in John 18:28–40, where Jesus stands before Pontius Pilate.   From a human perspective, Jesus has been betrayed by Judas, arrested unjustly, and denied by Peter — His closest followers have faltered, and the crowd is about to reject Him. Yet behind every setback is a deeper reality:   Nothing is falling apart. Everything is unfolding exactly according to God's plan.   In this moment of pressure and opposition, Jesus shows us:   Boldness over fear   Commitment over confusion   Mission over comfort   Jesus doesn't defend Himself to protect His life — He surrenders it to secure our salvation. His Kingdom is not of this world, but His rescue mission was for this world, for humanity — for us.   This message calls believers to move: From fear → to faith From apprehension → to Spirit-filled boldness From comfort → to Kingdom calling

Daily Dose of Hope November 11, 2025   Scripture - John 18:19-40   Prayer: Lord, Let us start by thanking you for a new day.  You are the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end, the one who was, and is, and is to come.  You are all powerful and all knowing.  We give thanks for your love and wisdom.  We give thanks for your presence.  Help us, Lord, gather our scattered thoughts.  Help us set aside distractions and listen to what you have for us today.  In these next few moments of silence, hear our prayers...Jesus, we love you.  In Your Name, Amen.   Welcome back to the Daily Dose of Hope, the devotional/podcast that goes along with the New Hope Church daily Bible reading plan.  We have been doing a deep dive into the Gospels and Acts.  Today, we are finishing up John 18.   Jesus has been before the Jewish high priest and the Jewish ruling council.  They can't stand him.  They not only feel threatened by him, but they are appalled about how he speaks of forgiving sins and being like the Father.  They physically assault him.  They want him to die but they don't have the power to execute him under Roman law.  They have to take him to the Roman governor, who happens to be Pontius Pilate.  As you will see, Pilate does not find Jesus to have done anything worthy of death at all but he is scared of the Jewish leaders.  We could go in a lot of different directions with this.  But I want to focus on a portion of verses 37-38, ...Jesus responded, "You say I am a king. Actually, I was born and came into the world to testify to the truth. All who love the truth recognize that what I say is true." "What is truth?" Pilate asked... Jesus came to testify to the truth.  Pilate questions if there can be truth.  The Greek word for "truth" is aletheia, and it means something like "divine revelation."  It literally means "what can't be hidden."  The Hebrew word for "truth" is emeth, which means firmness and immovability. This is such an important discussion because we live in a world in which people are still searching for truth and meaning.  There is an idea that it's okay for you to have your truth and me to have mine.  But yet, that only works up until a point, until our disagreements become really fundamental.  Here is some truth for you: Truth is not relative, nor does it change from person to person.  Truth can be offensive to some because they simply don't like how it makes them feel.  The reality is that many things can have some truth but there is only one TRUTH.  For believers, TRUTH is Jesus Christ.  John 14:6 reads, Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me."  When Jesus says, "I am the way," he doesn't say "I am a way." How the Greek sentence is constructed makes it absolutely clear and irrefutable that Jesus is making an exclusive claim here.   He is basically saying, don't go looking to anyone else to point you in those directions, because I am the only one who can!"  Jesus is the map that leads us to all truth.  If we really believe this, this fundamentally changes how we think about the world.  If Jesus is truth, then everything he said throughout the Gospels is true.  It means he came back from the dead and will return to judge all people.  It means he is God.  Do you believe this?  Do you?  I'm pressing this point a bit, I know.  And it's for a reason.  Because if we really, really believe Jesus is truth, then this one fact will inform every other piece of our life.  It will affect how we treat others. It will affect how we worship. It will certain affect our priorities. It will change how we spend our money. It affects what we think about during the day. It will change how we talk to people. We will think about sharing Jesus a lot more. We will think about Jesus a lot more in general.  We will pray more.  We will read the Bible more.  We will become more deeply devoted to God because he is Truth and nothing else in the world is. Blessings, Pastor Vicki

Daily Dose of Hope November 10, 2025   Scripture - John 18:1-18   Prayer: Holy God, We come before you today in humility and awe.  You are a good God.  You, who put the stars and planets in motion, also created us.  You care about the most minute details of our lives.  You have numbered the hairs on our head.  Thank you for loving us.  Thank you for caring so much.  Help us be put even a small reflection of your love toward those around us.  More of you and less of me, Jesus.  Amen.   Welcome back to the Daily Dose of Hope, the devotional and podcast that complements the New Hope Church daily Bible reading plan.  We are currently in the book of John, as we walk through the whole of the Gospels and the book of Acts.  Today, we start John 18.   We start in the Garden.  Unlike Mark's Gospel, Jesus does not plead that the cup be taken from him.  Rather, he steps forward and boldly declares that he is Jesus of Nazareth, the one they are looking for.  The Garden of Gethsemane is a common place.  He is not hiding and he is not apprehensive.  He offers himself in place of his disciples who are there with him.  He affirms the anti-violent path given to him by God and rebukes Peter when he cuts the high priest's slave's ear off.  Jesus will not allow anyone, including Peter, to deprive him of his role in God's victory.  Jesus knows he is innocent, he knows this is unjust, but he also knows it is necessary so he will do what must be done, not for his sake but for ours.   I always wonder what Judas is thinking in this moment.  Does he have a sense of satisfaction?  Or, is there part of him that has regret?  Does he see Jesus' innocence and begin to see what he has done?  I don't think we will ever know but I can't help but wonder.  Judas was a complicated character and if we are honest, we've all been Judas at one time or another.  We have all betrayed Jesus.   Speaking of betrayal, we also get to read about Peter's first denial of Jesus to the servant girl in the high priest's courtyard.  The first of three, of course.  What was going on in Peter's head?  We know he had to be scared to death.  Was he praying?  Had he forgotten everything Jesus taught him?  Was he trying to figure out how to just get out of the situation alive?  I mean, he was Jesus' very best friend.   More tomorrow.   Blessings, Pastor Vicki
