The Suffering KingSeries: Lectionary Preacher: Rev. Thomas HinsonDate: 23rd November 2025Passage: Luke 23:35-43
Although Jesus calls us to follow after Him on a path that can lead to suffering, the cost of following can feel too high. Jesus, therefore, teaches his disciples how the benefits of self-denying faith in Him far outweigh the costs.

What happens when the gospel collides with culture? In Acts 17, Paul arrives in Thessalonica and begins reasoning with the Jews in the synagogue. For three weeks, he opens the Scriptures, connecting the prophecies of the Old Testament to the suffering, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. The result is explosive. Some believe, joining Paul and Silas in following Christ, while others resist violently. A mob forms, riots erupt, and Paul's host Jason is dragged before city officials, accused of treason and upsetting the entire world.In this episode of The Wisdom Journey, Stephen Davey unpacks this dramatic moment in church history. Paul's message was clear: Jesus is not just a religious figure but the true King, the sovereign Monarch of all creation. That claim directly challenged the decrees of Caesar, forcing listeners to choose between loyalty to Rome or to Christ.The story of Thessalonica reminds us that Christianity is not about keeping peace with the status quo—it's about proclaiming the truth that changes lives and cultures. It challenges divided hearts, calls for full allegiance to Jesus, and invites us to live boldly under His rule. Discover how the same gospel that turned the world upside down in the first century still speaks with authority and clarity today.Stephen's latest book, The Disciples Prayer, is available now. https://www.wisdomonline.org/store/view/the-disciples-prayer-hardback

Passion: John 18-21 - Behold the Man: The Suffering KingPassage: John 19v1-16Speaker: Ebenezer Foster-Nyarko
In this sermon from Psalm 22, we looked at a time when David poured out his heart in anguish, feeling abandoned by God and surrounded by enemies, yet still holding on in faith that God would deliver him. His cries and vivid descriptions of suffering point beyond his own experience to Jesus, the true Suffering King who was mocked, pierced, and feeling forsaken. Through Jesus' death and resurrection, the story of redemption moves from despair to victory, turning suffering into salvation and opening the way for people from every nation to worship the risen King. Because of Him, our cries of pain are met with God's presence, our sin is met with His forgiveness, and our lives are drawn into His greater story of redemption that ends with glory and the promise of all things made new.

Jesus Is The Suffering King by First Pres Kingwood

Time:EveningMinister:Rev. Daniel VenturaTexts:Mark 15:15–32Heidelberg Catechism: Lord's Day 15Series:The Three Pillars of the Christian Faith
Jesus endured unspeakable physical pain on the cross, yet His spiritual suffering for our sins was even greater. His suffering as King ushered in the defeat of darkness and offered redemption to all who put their trust in Him.
Jesus was a King who was born to suffer so that His people would know what it means to live. Jesus was the suffering King who endured betrayal, rejection, mockery, humiliation, suffering, and death for the sake of humanity. Through his sacrificial death and triumphant resurrection, he provided forgiveness, redemption, and eternal life, fulfilling the prophecies of the suffering servant in the Old Testament and establishing his reign as the King of Kings and Lord of Lords.

Rev. Sirgregory Thornton (John 19:17-27)
Main idea: Jesus suffering on the cross is evidence that he is a present, loving, and sovereign King. Main Application: So, in our times of suffering, look up at the cross of Jesus to find the strength and comfort needed to endure. I. Jesus carried a cross, and commands His followers to carry one too. (Present) “If anyone comes to me and does not hate his own father and mother and wife and children and brothers and sisters, yes, and even his own life, he cannot be my disciple. Whoever does not bear his own cross and come after me cannot be my disciple." (Luke 14:26-27) II. The Cross proves that Jesus is the reigning King who you can trust. (Sovereign) “There are times when we are called to believe, not because of, but in spite of. To Follow Jesus is to take up a cross, and that means there may be moments when life's circumstances contradict our claims as surely as they did for Jesus at Calvary.” III. The Cross lovingly invites us to bring all of our emotions (good and bad) to receive strength and hope to endure.
