It can be hard enough to properly assess the truth of something we're looking at in a day and age where AI/"Deep Fake" technology makes it nearly impossible. But it can be equally hard to assess the truth of something whenever we bring our various biases/preconceived ideas to bear on it. This Sunday we'll look at the account of Jesus' Triumphal Entry into Jerusalem from John's Gospel and explore the way the biases of the various players John describes as witnesses of that event skew their interpretation of it. We'll consider as well about how those same biases can skew our vision of Jesus today.

We finish our hard sayings of Jesus series with this message and in it we go full circle by going back to John 6 which contains the verse - verse 60 - that serves as the impetus behind this series. In this final message we consider one question: if the hard sayings of Jesus cause so many to stumble and turn back, why are so many of them contained in the gospel accounts?

Nobody likes to wait, it seems like such a waste of time. And yet, the Bible has a lot of positive things to say about waiting and the importance of waiting well. In the parable of the ten virgins Jesus reveals how we are to live in readiness of His return but how to wait well if His return is delayed.

This passage seems to be out of place in a series on the hard sayings of Jesus. And in some ways it is, for they contain some of the sweetest words ever spoken. And yet, even the sweet words of Jesus can be hard when we choose to ignore them and not accept the invitation He offers. This message looks at the invitation of Jesus to come to Him, what we need to bring, and what we receive in its place.

The 18th century philosopher and theologian Soren Kierkegaard wrote that Jesus didn't want admirers, He wanted followers. Admiration of Jesus can actually mask a divided heart. In this message Jesus cuts through the admiration of three people, calling them to something far deeper.

One of the great titles of Jesus is Prince of Peace. And yet, in this week's passage He says that He didn't come to bring peace but a sword meant to divide families. It's a hard saying. What are we to do with a Lord called peace who brings division? That's what we seek to answer in this week's message.
