    The Crowd Rejoices. Jesus Weeps. Palm Sunday-God's Tlc

    Contributed by Ken Henson on Apr 12, 2014

    How do we respond to God’s Timing, when it does not match our own? How do we respond to God’s Love, both the Love He gives us, and the Love he desires to show through us to others? How do we obey God’s Command, even when it means our own suffering?

    What are the strongest days of the week? An Episcopal priest was preaching in an unfamiliar church one Sunday morning. As he stood in the pulpit to begin the service, he tapped the microphone to make sure that it was on. He heard nothing even though it was working fine. He wanted to give the ...read more

    Palm Sunday: A Pre-Enactment Of The Second Coming

    Contributed by Rev. Matthew Parker on Apr 13, 2014
    based on 1 rating
     | 7,334 views

    Palm Sunday sets the stage for Holy Week. More than that, it sets up in microcosm the grandest event of the end of the ages.

    Palm Sunday is an essential part of the Easter experience, of the Resurrection experience. Without this day, we wouldn't have a foretaste of the Second Coming. Palm Sunday is a place to pause before entering into the inescapable whirlwind of Holy Week. And there is genuine cause to celebrate, ...read more

    Welcoming The Alternative Series

    Contributed by Kevin Ruffcorn on Apr 19, 2014
     | 4,215 views

    Palm Sunday welcome of the king and an alternative lifestyle is chosen, which is very different from the world’s norm of authority and power.

    John 12:12-17 “Welcoming the Alternative” INTRODUCTION Jesus’ entry into Jerusalem has always been called a “triumphal entry.” In many ways it appears to be a comical imitation of a Roman parade. We can see this first Palm Sunday event similar to an army ...read more

    We are all called to serve and it's time to stop making excuses.

    Today we are going to look at John 12:1-12:7 • But Today I want to start by looking at 2 words and those are serve and give • Now what I Think is interesting Is the way that these words go together Now when I think about the word serve” • I think about service • I ...read more

    A sermon examining the battle that you will face when you attempt to worship the Savior.

    When The Worship Ends Trouble Begins John 12:4-11 Many years ago I was present in a dynamic worship service. The Spirit was moving and people were being obedient to the Lord. Just as the time of praise began, someone got up and went to the altar to pray. Then someone went to pray with that person. ...read more

    There is someone coming in red and white, but not Santa. It is Jesus in a white robe stained with blood.

    Jesus Christ is Coming to Town John 12:9-19 It had since He had come to town. The last time he had been there a notable miracle had taken place. Lazarus, who had been dead for four days was raised from the dead at the command of Jesus. Jesus had raised Jairus’ daughter from the sleep of ...read more

    Are you tight with your treasure? You’ll be tight with your heart as well. It’s the age old battle that we all fight… the battle between selfishness and generosity. Truly, it is more blessed to give generously than it is to receive.

    The Generous Life John 12:1-8 Six days before the Passover, Jesus arrived at Bethany, where Lazarus lived, whom Jesus had raised from the dead. 2 Here a dinner was given in Jesus' honor. Martha served, while Lazarus was among those reclining at the table with him. 3 Then Mary took about a pint ...read more

    Costly Devotion

     | 7,337 views

    Mary's act of devotion was costly but it was worth the price because costly devotion gets recognized, it gets remembered and it gets rewarded.

    COSTLY DEVOTION John 12:1-11 1) Costly devotion is sacrificial (1-3). Weird word isn’t it-‘nard’. Doesn’t sound very expensive, does it? Sounds too close to lard. “Hey, honey, look what I bought for you; this perfume called Nard! I got you a whole pint of it!” ...read more

    The Triumphal Entry ushered in Jesus' final week before his crucifixion. He was gathering a greater following and the religious leaders didn't like that. Jesus was being hailed as king.

    “ALL HAIL THE KING!” John 12:12-19 1) All hail the King! (Vs. 12-13). “The great crowd”. It was near the Passover and the week long Feast of Unleavened Bread celebration, where the population in Jerusalem rose from about 50,000 to over two million. Even though there was a ...read more

    Martha, Martha, You're Not So Bad

    Contributed by Clay Gentry on Aug 2, 2013

     | 20,454 views

    Often overshadowed by her sister Mary, Martha is often marginalized as an undesirable example of for disciples. However, when examined through the lens of scripture and not popular Christian books, Martha shines through as an example for all godly women.

    When I survey the women of the New Testament, I find some remarkable women of faith, Mary the mother of Jesus (Luke 1:26-38) is the first to come to mind. But, there are others, such as Joanna, Susanna and Mary Magalene (Luke 8:1-3). Later on, I read about Priscilla who, along with her husband, ...read more

    All of us need a Fresh Encounter. Without any apology, Richard Blackaby was my inspiration for developing this message. Everyone needs a "First Encounter" with Jesus followed by a "Fresh Encounter"...It's life-changing.

    Fresh Encounter Jerry Watts John 12:1-11 * Have you ever had an experience which you would call an ‘encounter?’ Encounters are those events in your life which you ‘remember!’ I’ll never forget the time I almost stepped on a cotton mouth moccasin. I’ll never ...read more

    John 12 brings us a perplexing situation. Is Jesus giving the green light to personal jets for evangelists who preach the prosperity gospel? Or is there another point altogether?

    John 12:1-8 “Did His Feet Smell that Bad?” By: Ken Sauer, Pastor of East Ridge United Methodist Church, Chattanooga, TN I must admit, this can be a very perplexing passage of Scripture. Wouldn’t it just be easier to ignore it? Of course, if we ignore it… …we loose the incredible insight ...read more
