Death as Arrested: Lessons from the Trials

How does God grow us spiritually?  Often God uses relationships, spiritual disciplines, and and trials to grow us in faith and prepare us for service.  As believers, we usually run to godly friendships, Bible study, worship, and other spiritual disciplines, but when it comes to trials and pain we often run the other way.  Yet, even Jesus faced the pain of rejection, lies, and struggle. Without the struggle of the cross, the resurrection never happens.  This week we look at one of humanity’s darkest moments, when the Son of God was placed on trial in Luke 22:63-71 in a sermon entitled Lessons from the Trial.
