Last Words, Part 5 – A New Deal

March 29, 2010

This is part five of our series, Last Words. It’s been said that when people are facing death, they get serious about life. They look back and reflect on the most important things. They look ahead and ponder the unknown future. And they take a moment to pass along their last words to those closest to them. In this series, we’re looking at Jesus’ last words.

This week at New Denver was a little different. Instead of a message, we watched Most, an Academy-Award-nominated short film. The film is a modern-day parable that beautifully depicts the themes of sacrificial love and redemption that we celebrate as we reflect on the last week of Jesus’ life. For those of you who were unable to attend this week, the film is available through the Most website or you can watch it here in these three video segments available on YouTube. After watching the video, we invite you to reflect on the Scripture passages listed below. Read more

We all have a picture of Jesus: who we think he is and how we should relate to him. The first disciples were no different. Listen as we explore one incident that took place in the last week of Jesus’ life. What Jesus said drove one disciple to come face to face with his flawed picture of who Jesus really was.

Last Words, Part 1 – The Greatest Danger

February 21, 2010

It’s been said that when people are facing death, they get serious about life. They look back and reflect on the most important things. They look ahead and ponder the unknown future. And they take a moment to pass along their last words to those closest to them.

As Jesus entered Jerusalem the last week before he went to the cross, the people hailed him as a king. A few days later, they would sentence him as a criminal. Did they realize who he really was? Is it possible they missed God standing right in front of their eyes? Is it possible that we do as well?
