The Gospel Of John: Behold Your King

In this powerful message from John 19:7–16, Pastor Dmitry walks through the climactic trial of Jesus and contrasts two competing kingdoms: the way of Caesar and the way of Christ. As Pilate wrestles with fear, power, and control, we’re confronted with a timeless question: Who is really your King?Through the themes of The Son of God, Authority from Above, and The Day of Preparation, this sermon reveals Jesus not as a helpless victim, but as the sovereign King willingly moving toward the cross according to the Father’s plan. In a world driven by power, status, influence, and self-glory, Jesus calls us to reject the way of Caesar and embrace the way of surrender, faith, and obedience.John points us to Jesus as the true Passover Lamb—the One who takes away the sins of the world. The invitation is simple yet life-changing: Behold and Believe. Look at Christ. Treasure Christ. Follow Christ. Because what captures your gaze ultimately shapes your life.Let's get ready to find hope in Jesus, by listening to this message. YOUR NEXT STEP: If you don't have a home church, then your next step of faith is to click this link and fill out the digital connect card.
