Jesus and Pilate - Mark 15:1-20
July 30, 2023

Hey everyone, welcome back to the Auberry Community Church website!
This week we explore Jesus's encounter with Pilate that led to his sentencing to crucifixion. See how Jesus remained silent when accused and stood for truth when questioned by Pilate.
Witness the crowd choosing to release Barabbas rather than Jesus, revealing humanity's desire for false messiahs. Reflect on the ugliness of politics as Pilate tried to appease the crowd. Consider how we can share the gospel even amidst trials, as Jesus did here.
Walk through Jesus's suffering - the severe scourging, crown of thorns, purple robe, and mockery by soldiers. Though Jesus underwent unimaginable cruelty, he endured it in obedience to God's will out of love for us. Discover how his grace shines brightest in our weakest moments when we fully surrender.
Be encouraged to embrace your circumstances, trust God amidst pain and confusion, and stand for your faith despite potential persecution. Jesus modeled courage and submission to God's plan, even in distress. We can live likewise when we rely fully on Him.
