The sermon concludes that because Jesus is alive, there is ultimately nothing to fear.I'm going to let you in on a little secret. A pastor's life can be full of troubles. When members don't come to worship; when seats are empty in Bible study; and especially when people leave the church; the pastor takes it personally. When the church doesn't grow -- and especially when the church shrinks in size -- the pastor carries those weights on his shoulders.He knows it's the power of God's Word that causes a church to grow. He knows that God's Word is a stumbling block that will offend people and drive them away (1 Peter 2:8). He also believes in the power of the divine call, so he believes God has put him in the right place at the right time --whether that's to find the lost or nurture the found or even close the church when necessary.When I was a very young and raw pastor -- within the first six months of my ministry -- the president of the church and his wife became offended and left the church. They were founding members of the mission church, and I'm guessing they were big financial supporters of this six-month-old church. I took the loss hard. I believed this meant trouble.When I related the story to an older, wiser, more experienced pastor, he told me, "Michael, did Jesus rise from the dead?" I was confused. I replied, "Of course, Tom." He said, "Well, if Jesus is alive, there's nothing to worry about." It turns out, he was correct. With that family leaving, other members picked up the slack, more people became involved in the ministry, and they filled the gap with their giving. Plus, they supported their new pastor.Those are some of the troubles of pastors. You live in the "real world". You have all kinds of unique troubles, too. Difficulties in your marriage, with your family, or with your friends. Problems in the classroom, on the athletic field, or in the workplace. Complications with the pharmacy on your kitchen counter, with eating healthy, and exercising regularly. We all have our own troubles.Jesus knows that his disciples of all ages, place, and times will be burdened and bothered. Both pastors in the pulpits and people in the pews will have their unique troubles. That's why Jesus begins our Gospel lesson saying, "Do not let your heart be troubled" (John 14:1).The setting of our sermon text is Thursday evening of Holy Week. Jesus has entered Jerusalem with a Palm Sunday procession. On Monday, Jesus chased the money changers and sacrificial animals out of the temple courtyard. Then Monday and Tuesday, Jesus taught in the recently vacated temple courtyard. It seems that Jesus took Wednesday off.On Thursday evening, Jesus is in the Upper Room with his disciples. He washes their feet. The Passover Meal is just about ready to be eaten. But before they sit down to eat, Jesus teaches his disciples covering five chapters in John's Gospel. Part of that teaching are these words: "Do not let your heart be troubled. Believe in God; believe also in me. In my Father's house are many mansions. If it were not so, I would have told you. I am going to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and take you to be with me, so that you may also be where I am. You know where I am going, and you know the way" (John 14:1-4).One reason you don't need to be troubled is you know where you're going. We allow ourselves to get so worked up when gas prices increase, our vehicle breaks down, or we receive a poor prognosis from our physician. We get worked up because we have become so earthly-minded. We forget that everything here is temporary and that we are transitory.We are filled with anxiety because we need to make expensive repairs to our house ... forgetting that Jesus has prepared a mansion for us in heaven. We are filled with worry because the bills for our surgery and car repair came in the mail on the same day ... forgetting that Jesus has paid the biggest bill of all with his death on the cross. We are filled with apprehension because our family seems to be filled with more anger and arguments than love and peace ... forgetting that Jesus has united us into the family of believers. St. Peter pictures this family of believers like a house made from unique field stones built upon the foundation of Jesus Christ as the Chief Cornerstone (1 Peter 2:4-5).Things in this life come and go, change, and decay. But our God is our one constant in our lives. What comfort to know that beyond this ever-changing world we have a place prepared for us by the Son of God in his heavenly home. No matter what we face in life, we know there is a place in heaven for us -- a home that has our name on the mailbox.Jesus doesn't promise to remove our troubles. Instead, he promises to remove us from our troubles eventually and eternally by taking us to the home he has prepared for us through his suffering, death, and resurrection.Hearing this, Thomas is clueless. He's been following Jesus for the past three years, but he still doesn't get it. He asks, "Lord, we don't know where you are going, so how can we know the way" (John 14:5)?By God's grace, many of us have been following Jesus for longer than three years. Yet, we still don't get it. We're just as clueless as Thomas!Jesus replies to his clueless, troubled disciples of all times by teaching, "I am the Way and the Truth and the Life. No one comes to the Father, except through me" (John 14:6).Jesus calms our troubled hearts with the knowledge that he is the Way, the Truth, and the Life.During the building of the Golden Gate Bridge over San Francisco Bay, construction fell badly behind schedule because several workers had accidentally fallen from the scaffolding to their deaths. Engineers and administrators could find no solution to the costly delays. Finally, someone suggested a gigantic net be hung under the bridge to catch any who fell. Despite the enormous cost, the engineers eventually opted for the net. After it was installed, progress was hardly interrupted. A worker or two fell into the net ... but all were saved. Faith in the net replaced their fear of falling to their deaths.When it comes to faith, it doesn't matter how strong your faith is. What matters is the object of your faith. It's whether that person or thing you put your faith in is worthy of that faith. It's whether it has the ability to hold on to you when you're about to fall. On that Golden Gate Bridge, many very talented people did their very best to not fall ... but fall they did. When they knew they would be protected when they fell, it changed the way they worked. They now worked by faith, not fear.There is no object of faith that can match Jesus Christ. Jesus is the way, the door, the only entrance into heaven. He is the absolute truth about salvation. He is the world's one and only Savior. Jesus is life itself, and he gives life to everyone who believes in him. Only through Christ our Savior do we ever come to the Father.Jesus teaches, "If you know me, you would also know my Father. From now on you do know him and have seen him." Philip replies, "Lord, show us the Father, and that is enough for us." Jesus answers, "Have I been with you so long, and you still do not know me, Philip? The one who has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, 'Show us the Father'? Don't you believe that I am in the Father and the Father is in me? The words that I am telling you I am not speaking on my own, but the Father who remains in me is doing his works. Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father is in me. Or else believe because of the works themselves" (John 14:7-11).One more reason Jesus gives for not being troubled is that through Jesus, we get to know the Father.This morning, we witnessed the baptisms of Austin and Magdalene. By God's grace, they were given the gift of a strengthening of their faith the application of water and the Word. The Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are united in the mystery of the Holy Trinity. The Father, Son, and Holy Spirit performed a mystery today as they marked this family as being part of the family of God through the waters of Baptism. The sanctifying Holy Spirit works through these baptismal waters so this family can be in the protective care of Father through the saving work of the Son.So, when you're feeling troubled, recall your Baptism. When you're feeling lonely and alone, the Father says, "You are my own. I have chosen you to be in my family. Even if it seems like no one else loves you, I do."When your sins trouble you and the guilt threatens to overwhelm you, Jesus says, "I am God. Yet, I became human. I suffered punishment I did not deserve so you could receive forgiveness you do not deserve. I paid for your sins on the cross. I removed your guilt in the grave. All that was given to you as a gift in your Baptism."When the Devil and his demons tempt and torment you, the Holy Spirit shouts at the Devil and his demonic horde, "Leave him alone! Stop bothering her! You no longer have any power over them! They are baptized into Christ!"Now you know the secret. Even though pastors are in the Word and leading God's people in the church, they can be just as clueless and troubled as Jesus' first disciples. Even though you've been following Jesus for a long time and you know better, still you can be just as forgetful as Thomas and Philip. So, you let troubles overwhelm you.Jesus teaches, "Do not let your heart be troubled. Believe in God; believe also in me." Jesus came to calm our troubled hearts. He took away the troubles of experienced fishermen by quieting a raging storm. He took away wedding troubles by changing water into wine. He took away hunger troubles by feeding thousands on a few loaves and fish. In fact, he took away every trouble that sin and death caused by overcoming them on the cross. He suffered the judgment we earned for our sins. And he silenced death by rising from the grave.Do not let your heart be troubled by guilt. Believe in God who forgives you for Jesus' sake. Do not let your heart be troubled by death. Believe in God who gives eternal life to all who believe in his Son. Do not let your heart be troubled by anything else. Believe in God who gives us the victory through our Lord, Jesus Christ.I'm going to let you in on another not-so-secret-secret. Jesus rose from the dead. And if Jesus is alive, there's nothing to worry about. This is how Jesus untroubles your troubled heart. Amen.
By Dan Dowd - Jesus Christ not only fulfills the Passover meal given in Exodus 12, but also how He becomes the Passover meal through the symbols He gave us as He instituted His New Covenant Church.

In this episode, Dr. E answers a challenging question about the timeline of Jesus' crucifixion. From the “sign of Jonah” to the apparent differences between the Synoptic Gospels and John, Dr. Easley walks through how to understand these passages in their proper historical and cultural context. What about the “three days and three nights”? Did Jesus celebrate Passover before or after His arrest? And if the accounts don't line up perfectly, can we still trust the Bible? Dr. Easley explains how ancient Jewish idioms, feast practices, and eyewitness perspectives help resolve these tensions. Rather than weakening Scripture, these differences actually strengthen its credibility and reliability. If you've ever wrestled with questions about Gospel contradictions, biblical inerrancy, or the accuracy of Jesus' resurrection timeline, this episode will give you clarity and confidence in God's Word. Key Topics Covered -The “sign of Jonah” and what Jesus meant by three days and three nights -Why a 72-hour timeline isn't required for the resurrection -Differences between the Synoptic Gospels and John -The Passover timeline and Jesus' final meal -Jewish idioms and how they affect biblical interpretation -What biblical inerrancy really means -Why Gospel differences strengthen, not weaken, credibility -How oral tradition preserved the accounts of Jesus Chapters 00:00 What About Gospel Contradictions? 01:05 The “Sign of Jonah” Explained 02:30 Do Three Days Mean 72 Hours? 04:00 Understanding Jewish Time Language 05:40 The Passover Timeline Problem 07:00 Synoptic Gospels vs. John 08:30 Did Jesus Eat the Passover Meal? 10:00 Why the Accounts Differ 11:30 What Is Biblical Inerrancy? 13:00 Do Differences Undermine Scripture? 14:30 Why the Bible Is Still Reliable 16:00 Final Thoughts & Encouragement Find more episodes of Ask Dr. E here.

We are never to approach the Lord's Table lightly, casually, or inappropriately. The Lord's Table is to be approached reverently and discreetly. The Communion table represents a holy and sacred time in the Lord's presence. The Lord's Supper replaced the Passover Meal. Jesus was modeling a paradigm shift from the Old Covenant to the New Covenant. From the Old Testament to the New Testament. From the Temple to the Church. From Priests to Preachers. In the Old Testament the sheep died for the shepherd. In the New Testament the Shepherd dies for the sheep. The communion table reminds us to look back at the cross and look forward to the future glory in heaven.
The Gospel of John Week 17 Scripture: John 12:27-13;30, Isaiah 6. Today's study takes us through an insider's view of the final hours before Jesus' arrest and crucifixion. We open with Jesus words in John 12:27-28, “Now my soul is troubled, and what shall I say? ‘Father, save me from this hour'? No, it was for this very reason I came to this hour. Father, glorify your name!” We see Jesus' heart here - In the verses we see Him not as fully God but as fully man - fully human - He is bearing the weight of the world in His soul and in His heart. This is a reminder of just how great His love is for us. The Father in heaven answered Jesus - in verses 28-29, “Then a voice came from heaven, “I have glorified it, and will glorify it again.” The crowd that was there and heard it said it had thundered; others said an angel had spoken to him.” To the crowd they thought it was thunder or that an angel spoke! But it was the voice of God the Father. The Father will be glorified through the sacrifice of His Son, by His Son's willing submission to the Father's will. The Father brings judgement on the Son because His love for us is so great that He is willing to take our penalty for sin. We will see Jesus is exalted as He gives up His life and is lifted up (onto the cross) for all of us. We learn in today's study that God's heart desire is to turn people back to Himself. God's heart is to bring healing. In verse 42-43 we read, “Yet at the same time many even among the leaders believed in him. But because of the Pharisees they would not openly acknowledge their faith for fear they would be put out of the synagogue; for they loved human praise more than praise from God.” Following God no matter the cost, choosing to be right with God instead of right with people… Pastor spends time explaining the timing of Jesus' death in the Gospel of John against the timing in the other three gospels. We take an in-depth look at the Passover Meal and the washing of the disciples' feet by Jesus. As Jesus does the feet washing what He's saying is that this is not about mere ritual, this is about relationship with Him that transforms our lives. He's acting out that transformation as He washes their feet. He says, “you also should wash one another's feet.” We end by beginning to explore Jesus predicting His betrayal by one of the disciples.

Many people have come to faith after reading only this book of the Bible. Scholarly and archeological discoveries in recent decades give us new insight on details in the Gospel of John. We can now understand it as the most Jewish rather than the most “Gentile/Greek” of the Gospels, and when we do that we see many things that we missed before. Our 2 year study of the gospels is great for large group, small group or home group study and can be started at any time!
The Passover Feast had two purposes: 1) it was to remember deliverance and redemption from Egyptian bondage, and 2) it was to look forward to the coming Messiah who would bring true redemption. Jesus fulfilled the Passover in that He is our true Passover lamb. By faith we apply His shed blood to our lives and God's judgment passes over us. Jesus transformed the Passover Meal into what is known as the Lord's Supper. The Lord's Supper looks back in remembrance to our redemption from the slavery of sin and death.

Jesus, like all Jews in Jerusalem celebrated the Passover. He did so, knowing full well, that this meal pointed to what would happen to him in a matter of hours. The comparison is remarkable. This lesson will help to help and comfort us today.Copyright, Dave Andrus 2025

At the Last Supper, Jesus redefined the Passover meal to point to His sacrifice. He showed us that true leadership means serving others, and that forgiveness comes at a cost.But through the cross, we find healing for our shame, belonging for our loneliness, and hope in our suffering. It's not a one-time event, but a truth we need to continually feed on.Get more out of today's teaching by visiting our Church Online page for things like our community guide, a weekly devotional, and the teaching slides.

In the fourth episode of "The Cross," Duane Sheriff teaches the connection between the Old Testament Passover meal and Jesus Christ as the ultimate Passover Lamb. God uses types and shadows in the Old Testament to foreshadow the cross, emphasizing that the mystery of salvation was hidden from Satan but revealed to believers.Exodus 12 demonstrates how God instituted the Passover Meal to foreshadow Christ's sacrifice. The imagery of eating the lamb and applying its blood speaks to how we must internalize Christ's sacrifice and allow it to cover every aspect of our lives. The blood of the innocent lamb protected the Israelites from judgment, just as Christ's blood covers us now. This parallel illustrates that our salvation relies not on our righteousness but on our faith in the ultimate Lamb of God.Click for FREE offer ➡️https://pastorduane.com/the-cross/

The Exodus Way E9 — All four gospel accounts build anticipation for Jesus to accomplish a new kind of exodus when he arrives in Jerusalem. But later in the gospel narratives, Jesus begins telling his disciples that he will be arrested and killed in Jerusalem before rising on the third day. So Jesus journeys to Jerusalem and confronts the religious establishment—notably only days before Passover! And before his arrest, he shares a Passover meal with his disciples and shockingly reinterprets the bread and wine to be about his coming death. What is Jesus doing, and how is his death related to the climactic Exodus event of Passover? In this episode, Jon and Tim trace the Holy Week story leading up to Passover and explore how Jesus' death fulfills the cosmic Exodus story of the Bible.

What is the best meal you have ever had? What made it great? So often, it is not just the food but those you enjoy the meal with who add to the experience. As Jesus' final moments approach, He shares the Passover meal with His disciples. In a moment that will never be forgotten, the Passover meal is brought to life in the body and blood of Jesus, a practice we continue today every time we come to the table of communion. Andrew West | Luke 22:7-23
Weighty instruction from the Son of Man. Jesus revealed his knowledge of his betrayal and coming crucifixion. "Lord is it I?" We each have a price. Follow diligently every day to develop self-control. Jesus moved resolutely to prepare his disciples through instruction, example and obedience. "Follow my example." Be a subjective servant to have joy. Aspire every day to become a better servant. ***108: Jesus At The Last SupperMatthew 26:14-30; Mark 14:10-26; Luke 22:3-39; John 13:1-17:26Judas' BargainEVIL HAD entered Judas Iscariot, and he had gone to the chief priests secretly and had said to them: “What will ye give me, and I will deliver him unto you?” When they promised to pay him thirty pieces of silver, he conspired how he could betray Jesus. From that moment he watched to see how he could deliver Jesus to the authorities in the absence of the multitude.Preparation For The Passover When the day for the sacrifice of the Passover arrived, Jesus called Peter and John to him and said to them: “Go and prepare us the Passover, that we may eat.” Peter and John replied, saying: “Where wilt thou that we prepare?” Jesus answered: “Behold, when ye are entered into the city, there shall a man meet you, bearing a pitcher of water; follow him into the house where he entereth in, And ye shall say unto the goodman of the house, ‘The Master saith unto thee, “Where is the guest chamber, where I shall eat the Passover with my disciples?”' And he shall show you a large upper room furnished. There make ready.” Peter and John did as Jesus requested and made the preparations.Jesus Pronounces This His Last Meal When evening came, Jesus sat with his twelve disciples at their Passover Meal. Jesus said to them: “With desire I have desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer. For I say unto you, ‘I will not any more eat thereof, until it be fulfilled in the kingdom of God.'” And Jesus took the cup and gave thanks, and said: “Take this, and divide it among yourselves. For I say unto you, ‘I will not drink of the fruit of the vine, until the kingdom of God shall come.'”Jesus Washes The Disciples' Feet Jesus arose from the meal and poured water into a basin and washed the feet of his disciples, drying them with a towel. Simon Peter said to Jesus: “Lord, dost thou wash my feet?” Jesus answered, saying: “What I do thou knowest not now; but thou shalt know hereafter.” Peter...
It might seem like a straightforward enough text, in which Jesus simply made arrangements for a last supper, in which He and they could share one more Passover Meal together, but in fact there are some interesting details that describe how well prepared Jesus was and what preplanning had been made. But that is not unlike Jesus who has planned things from eternity past, that affect our lives! To watch today's video, on Youtube, click here!

I loved my weekend in New Orleans—happening upon a parade in the French Quarter, visiting the World War II Museum, and trying grilled oysters. But as I fell asleep in my friends’ spare room, I missed my wife and kids. I enjoy opportunities to preach in other cities, but I most enjoy being home. One aspect of Jesus’ life that’s sometimes overlooked is how many of His most important events happened on the road. The Son of God entered our world in Bethlehem, an incalculable distance from His heavenly home and far from His family’s hometown of Nazareth. The house was overflowing with extended family in town for the census, so Luke says there wasn’t even a spare katalyma, or “guest room” available (Luke 2:7). What was missing at Jesus’ birth did show up at His death. As Jesus led His disciples into Jerusalem, He told Peter and John to prepare for their Passover Meal. They should follow a pitcher-carrying man to his home and ask the owner for the katalyma—the guest room where Jesus and His disciples could eat the Last Supper (22:10–12). There, in borrowed space, Jesus instituted the Communion that foreshadowed His looming crucifixion (vv. 17–20). We love home, but if we travel with the Spirit of Jesus, even a guest room can be a place of communion with Him.
Fr. Mike breaks down the various ways the Eucharist fulfills the sacrifices of bread and wine of the Old Covenant and explains why the Eucharist is central to God's plan of salvation. We learn that the Eucharist is a pledge of God's love for each one of us and a tangible reminder that Jesus is always with us. Today's readings are Catechism paragraphs 1333-1340.

The Fulfilled Passover Meal (Exodus 12:1-13)
As Christ followers, we corporately share in the gift of the Lord's Supper. In this shared moment, we're commanded to participate with an attitude of remembrance...but how exactly are we to do that? This message explores Jesus' final Passover Meal, its significance, and the new covenant that Jesus communicated through the elements of bread and wine.
SouthCrest Church Sunday morning message, 9/10/23. Our journey through the Bible continues in Luke 22:14-30 with Elder Bennett Smith walking us through Jesus's ending of the centuries old traditions of the Passover Meal by replacing them with the new tradition of the Lord's Table.
If Jesus was crucified on the Day of Preparation, why had He already eaten the Passover meal? Was Jesus crucified on the day the Passover lamb was slain?

"I didn't need more information about God. I needed more experience with God." - Michael John CusickIf you're like us, you always seek to grow your relationship with God. In this week's episode of Restoring the Soul, Michael explores the practice of Lectio Divina and the many benefits it offers for scripture readers. He shares five key aspects of the practice, including how it helps to slow down and create a spiritual conversation while posturing our hearts to receive. This episode dives deep into the importance of taking a posture of receiving, personalizing scripture through a holistic prayer, and using imagination to experience God beyond left-brain knowledge. Lectio Divina may be the answer you've been searching for if you struggle with motivation or finding meaning in traditional spiritual disciplines. So why not slow down and explore this transformative practice? Through this exploration, we hope you will gain a newfound understanding of how Lectio Divina can help you connect more deeply with God.HELPFUL RESOURCES:Opening to God: Lectio Divina and Life as PrayerToo Deep for Words: Rediscovering Lectio DivinaDiscover how the barrier built by porn addiction can become a bridge to abundant life.What if lust for porn is really a search for true passion?In a world where there are 68 million searches for pornography every day and where over 70 percent of Christian men report viewing porn in the last year, it's no surprise that more and more men struggle with an addiction to this false fantasy.
