In John 19:28–30, the Apostle John records two small but powerful details at the cross — vinegar and hyssop. What do these mean? In this sermon, Pastor John Musgrave explains how these symbols reveal the mercy of Christ and the way Jesus cleanses His people from sin.

The crowd at the cross mocked Him, just as the world mocks Him today. Yet through His suffering, Jesus — the Anointed King — turned mockery into mercy. The vinegar shows us His kingship rejected; the hyssop shows us His cleansing blood sprinkled out upon sinners.

Learn how these verses call believers to humility, repentance, and gratitude for the cleansing only Christ can give. This message will deepen your love for the Jesus and strengthen your faith in His finished work.

In this sermon from John 19:13–27, Pastor John Musgrave shows how the scene at the cross reveals why every believer needs the Church for their spiritual survival. Surrounded by a world that rejects Jesus, Christians are called to worship together, encourage one another, and stand firm in the truth of who Christ is. Discover why isolation weakens faith, how the fellowship of believers strengthens your walk with God, and what Scripture teaches about the vital role of the body of Christ in your life. This message will challenge and encourage evangelical, Presbyterian, and Reformed Christians to see weekly worship and Christian community as God’s gracious gift for endurance in a hostile world.

In this sermon from John 19:14–24, Pastor John Musgrave shows how Jesus stands at the very center of all history and reigns as the true King over every nation. Even as He hung on the cross, God declared Christ’s universal kingship through Pilate’s inscription—“Jesus of Nazareth, the King of the Jews.” From Daniel 7 to Ephesians 1, Scripture reveals that Jesus’ death and resurrection were not accidents in history but the divine plan to unite all things under His rule. This message calls believers to recognize Christ’s supremacy, take comfort in belonging to His everlasting kingdom, and proclaim His reign to every tribe and tongue.
