Trial and Execution of Jesu

In our congregation's final pre-Passover sermon, Mr. Smith goes through in detail the events from Jesus and the disciples arriving at Gethsemane after taking the Passover to Jesus' death on the cross. He shows us how much Jesus suffered in order to make possible our salvation. You can download the map Mr. Smith refers to in this sermon in a word file.
