Not like some of the sacrifices we are from time to time asked to make…perhaps financial sacrifice, or sacrifice of some of our time. ….But the kind of sacrifice wherein one person lays down their life for the sake of ...read more

    Crowd cheers; Jesus weeps Luke 19:28-44 Introduction- As we continue in our mini-series “journey to the cross”, I would like for us to prepare ourselves for Easter celebration. Sometimes scriptural passages lose their appeal because we are so familiar with them. I would hate to ...read more
