The Hero On Trial | Brian Sorgenfrei

Scripture Reference: Matthew 27:1-2, 11-26

The hero, Jesus, is accused of treason. Amidst the trial, we see interactions between the hero, Pontius Pilate, a criminal named Barabbas, and the crowds. All of these interactions reveal the character Jesus and the way He will save and restore. Our hero will be a suffering servant, healing the world by taking what He does not deserve.

Sermon Points:

  • The Hero & Barabbas
  • The Hero & the Crowds
