1. Eyes Wide Open
Contributed on May 16, 2005
1st in series showing Jesus’ priorities on earth. People are important to God, and they need to understand the full extent of His personal care and involvement in their lives.

2. We Are Family
Contributed on May 16, 2005
2nd in series on Jesus priorities. This describes what the church should be with alliteration.

5. What The Master Needs
Contributed on May 16, 2005
Last in series on Jesus’ priorities. It’s about giving our donkeys - really, ourselves - to the Master.
Luke 19:28-38 – What the Master Needs (NOTE: these are not original thoughts to me. Most of this cmoes from another sermon of the same name.) Christian author Philip Yancey, in his book The Jesus I Never Knew, described Palm Sunday this way: “The triumphal entry has about it an aura of ...read more
