Tension and chaos from bad news, job loss, spiritual conflicts and broken relationships often disrupt our lives. In these moments, individuals must choose between fear and seeking divine guidance. Turning to scripture and acting on faith becomes essential. While tension is a common experience, it can also serve as a catalyst for obedience and spiritual growth. (2 Chronicles 20:1-25)

From Pastor Joshua's teaching notes, "John Stott once said, “The cross is the clearest revelation of God’s love for sinners, and it is also the most explicit challenge to our indifference and cowardice.”
As the Roman authority charged with making the decision regarding Jesus's sentence, Pilate’s reluctance to act reveals a deep truth—indifference to Jesus is still a decision. Pilate didn’t openly reject Jesus, but his reluctance to take a stand meant he rejected Him nonetheless. Pilate wanted to be popular, not right. He was more concerned about reputation than he was about character.
Jesus doesn’t give us the option of neutrality. We’re either for Him or against Him. The same thing happens in our lives. We might not actively oppose Jesus, but if we don’t choose to follow Him, we’re still choosing to reject Him."
