    Palm Sunday is a time when we see Jesus enter into Jerusalem, BUT, did the people really see Jesus for the King He is, or the King they wanted Him to be?

    RECOGNIZE THE KING (All my sermons use illustrations found on www.sermoncentral.com and all scripture is NIV unless otherwise noted) I have often wondered how many people would recognize Jesus if He were to walk amongst us today? Now I know that Jesus is “with us,” but that is not ...read more
