    based on 5 ratings
     | 3,353 views

    based on 2 ratings
     | 8,949 views

    This is the 37th sermon in a series from the Gospel of John. In this sermon we examine the crowds that shouted Hosanna during the Triumphal Entry, but then later demanded that Jesus be crucified, and we discuss what led to this, and how true faith differs from this.

That much is taught very plainly in 1 ...read more
