On Sunday, April 13, 2025, at Wildwood Community Church, I preached a sermon based on John 19:1-16a. This message was part 5 of the “Trial to Triumph” Easter sermon series. Below you will find questions related to the message for personal reflection or group discussion. You will also find audio and video from the message to listen to/watch, download or share.
Sermon Questions:
- Pray
- Read John 19:1-16a
- For 2,000 years now humanity has surveyed the wondrous cross of Christ. When you think of the cross, what comes to your mind? How do you think God wants you to respond to the cross of Christ?
- More than just moving us to tears or pity, God desires that we understand the significance of the cross. Read again the verses covered this morning from Romans 3:22-25. According to these verses, what is the significance of the cross, and how does God desire that you and respond to it?
- The Jewish religious leaders had A LOT of information and religion … but it did not make a significant difference in their lives. Do you know of any current examples of movements or people who have a lot of information and religion but fail to trust in Jesus for salvation? Take some time for the “veil to be lifted” (2 Corinthians 3:15-16) and people to come to faith in Christ.
- Pilate was afraid of Jesus, but he was even more afraid of the crowd and his potential loss in power. What do you fear MORE? Other people, circumstances, or God. If you revered God most, how would that impact your daily life decisions?
- What stands out to you most from this message? Any particular takeaway?
