Behold Your King

BEHOLD YOUR KING Matthew 21:1-17 Here we have a remarkable scene; the Lord Jesus is on His way to die on Calvary, just as He has recently made known to His disciples, (although it appears that they either did not understand what He said, or they did not want to believe it). As they came towards ...read more

Another Kind Of King Series

Contributed by Timothy Peck on Mar 12, 2003

Jesus Christ’s entry into Jerusalem reveals Jesus as the promised king, the humble king, and the unexpected king.

Note: This sermon was introduced with scene 49 from the play "Traveling Light." As Americans, most of us don’t like kings very much. After all, that’s why we fought a revolutionary war in 1776, to be free of the tyranny of a king. Even though the king might be a benevolent king, he’s still a king ...read more

A Day Of Cheers And Tears Series

Contributed by David Dykes on Mar 27, 2003

When Jesus arrived in Jerusalem in the last week of His life he was greeted with cheers, but He wept over the city because of their superficial beliefs and spiritual blindness. Learn the valuable personal lessons that apply to us today.

A Day of Cheers and Tears Luke 19:28-45 By Dr. David O. Dykes INTRODUCTION I turned 50 in January and someone in the church was kind enough to send me a revised list of hymns for the over-50 crowd: 1. “Precious Lord, Take my Hand, and Help Me Up” 2. “It is Well with my Soul; but my Knees ...read more

Three Parades

Contributed by Mark Winter on Mar 14, 2001

The parade that wound into Jerusalem on that long ago Sunday was exciting -- but it can’t hold a candle to the parade that took place on Friday.

The parade route begins near the twin towns of Bethpage and Bethany, less than two miles from Jerusalem and winds into the Holy City. The Grand Marshal is an unlikely hero – a rustic from a blue-collar town up north, the son of a woodworker. In keeping with his “common man” image, he decides to ...read more

What Do You Know? Series

Contributed by Joseph Smith on Mar 29, 2002

An imaginative reconstruction of the dialogue between the repentant and unrepentant thieves, to be spoken by two preachers. Focuses on the old dilemma, whether God hears prayer.

Unrepentant Thief (U): "Should the wise answer with windy knowledge, and fill themselves with the east wind? Should they argue in unprofitable talk, or in words with which they can do no good? ... What do you know that we do not know? What do you understand that is not clear to ...read more

Certainly -- At A Distance

Contributed by Joseph Smith on Apr 18, 2003

For Good Friday: sometimes we no longer see things because we are too close to them. The disciples saw the cross "at a distance", but the centurion saw it through his callousness, cynicism, and skepticism, and affirmed, "Certainly".

Sometimes when you are too close to something you cannot see it. Or at least you cannot recognize what it is. You can be so close that you do not know what you are looking at. You need somebody else to give you a fresh perspective. My wife and I buy grocery items when they are on ...read more

They Hailed Him As King

Contributed by Chris Surber on Mar 31, 2007

The Kingdom of God is a kingdom of mercy, where the King rides into the capital on a humble donkey, instead of a powerful majestic horse. The Kingdom of God is completely unique… if compared to the kingdoms of this world it is an upside-down kingdom.

“They Hailed Him as King” Luke 19:28-40 (Year C Palm Sunday) Introduction King Jesus, why did you choose me, a lowly donkey to carry you to ride in your parade? Had you no friend who owned a horse—a royal mount with spirit for a king to ride? Why choose a donkey, small, unassuming beast of burden ...read more

Preparing Jesus, Preparing For Jesus Series

Contributed by Tom Fuller on Mar 3, 2008

This chapter provides some real contrasts between real and trumped up worship, real belief and real betrayal. It is all a part of preparing Jesus for the cross and preparing us to receive him.

John places Jesus at Ephraim, a village north of Jerusalem. Between the end of chapter 11 and here, Jesus travels back to Galilee, heals the ten lepers (Luke 17), talks to Zacchaeus (Luke 19) in Jericho on his way back to Bethany. It’s only six days until the Passover, and Jesus’ crucifixion. John ...read more
