We live in a remarkable day. There are so many discoveries that have been made in our lifetime that it is truly mind-boggling. As remarkable as these days are they are not anywhere close to the greatest day ever experienced by humanity. With all of the various discoveries and ideas that have made an impact on society there has been none more long lasting, more transforming, than the event that took place almost 2,000 years ago. There were no satellite trucks present. Ted Koppel and Geraldo Rivera were nowhere to be found. There were no reporters. Spielberg didn’t try to buy the script. John Grisham has never written about it. The event didn’t win an Academy Award. As a matter of fact, hardly anybody even noticed – except a few. Those few people who witnessed the resurrection of Jesus went on to change our world.

The Cup of Redemption
Luke 22:7-22
Sunday, March 20th, 2005
Sunday marked the day that all of God’s people began to lose sight of everything other than the preparations for the most important day of the year. There was much to do. People had come from everywhere to celebrate Passover in the Holy City of Jerusalem. The streets were buzzing on Sunday with lambs being paraded through the streets and scrutinized to see if they could pass the test. The Passover Lamb couldn’t be just any lamb; he had to be a lamb without blemish or defect. A perfect offering to God and a reminder to the people of the sacrifice that had been made so long ago when the “Death Angel” passed over the shanty town homes of the Hebrew slaves and spared their firstborn. (Exodus 12)

Solomon’s Wisdom On “Lives of Deception”
Proverbs 20:3-7
Sunday, March 6th, 2005
We are going to spend our time this morning taking a look at Proverbs 20:3-7. As I have been studying this chapter of Proverbs this past week it has seemed to me that this section of Scripture holds a very important lesson for those of us who live in a land of illusion, a day of exceptional deception. Let’s read our Scripture together and then I will explain what I am talking about.
