God on Trial - No Defense | Luke 22:54-62

Today we be in a brand new sermon series entitled God on Trial.

It is a three week sermon series in the Gospel of Luke where we arrive at the part of Jesus' story

where Jesus is taken from the Garden of Gethsemane and is put on trial by men.

Now think about that. The audacity of man to take the Son of God and put him on trial.

But Jesus did not go through one trial. He went through three trials.

One before the Jewish Sanhedrin. Second before the Roman Consulate.

And the third before the King of the region. And all three trials Jesus performs beautifully.

But it ends with his unjust execution. And today we're going to begin that study.

If you've never studied the Gospel of Luke before, welcome to the church. We are so glad you're here.

It's one of our favorite passages in all of the Bible. And today we find ourselves in Luke chapter

scribes came together and led Jesus into their council saying, if you are the Christ, tell us.

But he said to them, if I tell you, you will by no means believe. And if I ask you, you will by no

means answer me or let me go. But hereafter, the Son of Man will sit on the right hand of the power

of God. Then they said to Jesus, are you the Son of God then? So he said to them, you rightly say

that I am. Let us pray, Father, today as we study this passage,
