    Contributed by David Dunn on Oct 19, 2025
     | 29 views

    Grace shattered the world’s scorekeeping; salvation is not earned by balance but received by the cross that broke the scales.

    Palm Sunday- What Do We Expect?

    A simple exploration of what Jesus’ arrival in Jerusalem might have been like without the benefit of hindsight- and what this teaches us today.

    I remember as a small child really enjoying palm Sunday. At a small church in the middle of nowhere, I have this memory of being given a palm cross and being told to wave it about.

    I Thirst

    Contributed by Ken Henson on Apr 17, 2014
    based on 1 rating
     | 6,988 views

    I Thirst In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters. The first order of creation, even before God proclaimed, “let there be light”, there ...read more
