Exclusion and Embrace - Week 9

Kyle Costello preaches from John 18:33-38 and John 19:9-11. To end our series we close with one of the most fascinating conversations in the life of Jesus. As he is set to be crucified Jesus comes face to face with Pilate. Jesus represents the Kingdom of God and Pilate represents the most powerful nation on earth. In their exchange Jesus teaches Pilate and anyone who reads of their account that he is a God who is extremely personal and all powerful, but not even close to the way the world would expect. This week we look at how we have a choice as people whether or not to embrace Jesus and how our own addiction to power often keeps us from fully knowing him.
