The Village Chapel - 10/05/2025

Why did Jesus die? Was it betrayal, political corruption, mob injustice—or was there something deeper? In Luke 23:26–49 we come to the very heart of the Christian faith: the cross of Christ. Here, in one of history’s most pivotal moments, we see God’s justice, love, wisdom, and power converge. The crucifixion is not just a tragic ending—it is God’s eternal plan to bring redemption, forgiveness, and new life to all who will believe.

In this message, “Why Did Jesus Die? The Message and Meaning of the Cross”, we’ll explore the predictions of the cross, the people surrounding it, the paradox that Jesus would not save Himself so He could save us, and the power of His finished work. Whether you’re asking questions about Christianity or longing to go deeper in your faith, this passage reveals the astounding truth: Jesus took our place so that we might find life in Him.

Join Pastor Jim as we stand at the foot of the cross in Luke 23 and discover why the death of Jesus changes everything—for you, for me, for the world.

Beauty for Ashes, Diamonds for Dirt
Luke 23:1-25

The Village Chapel - 09/28/2025

In the early morning hours of what we now call Good Friday, Jesus was taken by the religious leaders to stand trial before Pontius Pilate. In Luke’s account, Jesus speaks only five words when he responds to Pilate’s question, “Are you the King of the Jews?” and says, “It is as you say.” We come to a crossroads in this account: Courage and cowardice converge; actual authority and power are displayed through silent suffering; and Jesus, being entirely innocent, willingly exchanges his life for the life of a convicted criminal and takes his place on the cross. What looks like a victory for Satan ends up being the masterstroke of God’s Divine plan of rescue and redemption for the human race. Join us as we study Luke 23:1-25, and read about the Great Exchange, our sin for the righteousness of Christ!

What is your response to Jesus Christ?
Luke 22:63-71

The Village Chapel - 09/21/2025

Curious about God? Seeking truth about who Jesus was and is? This study, rooted in the Gospels’ parallel accounts, helps us discover the powerful question at the heart of Christianity: What is your response to Jesus Christ?

This sermon unveils three realities: 1. There are those who are Belligerent Unbelievers, who reject God, risking eternal consequences. 2. Jesus was a Suffering Savior who sacrificed all for our redemption, forgiving even the worst of His enemies. 3. Jesus made some bold claims about Himself as the Self-Revealed Son of God. Jesus declared, “I am the way, the truth, and the life” (John 14:6).

Join Pastor Jim as he dives into the gripping narrative of Jesus’ trials from Luke 22:63-71, John 18:12-24, and Matthew 26:59-68, where betrayal, mockery, and injustice collide. Explore the resilience of Christianity against all odds. Don’t miss this chance to reflect on faith, eternity, and your personal response to Jesus Christ.
