30 PIECES OF SILVER (Part 1) • ”What Would You Trade Jesus for?”

• This Series: We’d all like to think we’re nothing like Judas the betrayer, who traded Jesus for thirty pieces of silver. An honest look at our hearts reveals, however, that we all have things we trade for Christ every day. Whether it’s comfort, power, control, or some other idol, we all make our exchanges. As we approach Easter, this series invites us to repent and treasure Christ above every idol and temptation.

 

• This Week: What happens when Jesus doesn’t live up to our expectation? When the premise or motivation of our faith is wrong, we will eventually be disappointed with God. Whether we follow Jesus to get what we want or trade our love for Jesus to get what we want, both are dead ends.
