The People's Response To The Palm Sunday Entry Of Jesus

Contributed by Jerry Smith on Apr 28, 2009

The People’s Response to the Palm Sunday entry of Jesus by shouting praises, waving palm branches and laying their cloaks on the ground and what each of these means to us.

This Sunday is called Palm Sunday! Do we really understand why we wave palm branches? Why the Jews laid the palm branches on the ground for Jesus to ride over them on His donkey? What is the significance of all this? Let me try to answer these questions for you this morning. Please turn to Matthew ...read more

Part 1 - Matthew 11:2-6 - Jesus-In-A-Box! Series

Contributed by Ross Cochrane on May 29, 2010

My grandchildren sometimes play with a Jack-in-a-box. Sometimes we want a JESUS-IN-A-BOX too. We want Him to fit into our pre-conceived ideas of who He should be and how He should act.

Silent Night

Contributed by Mark Aarssen on Dec 16, 2015

On a silent night nearly 2000 years ago the cry of a newborn baby ushered in a new beginning for mankind. A saviour had arrived one who would set us free for all eternity. His cry is the one the whole world longs for but finds so very difficult to hear.

Silent Night Matthew 1:18-2:12 Who is this Jesus and why has He come in this way? Why did God use this Jewish couple to reveal the Messiah to the world? If God wanted to save the world from sin why didn’t He make it big news? Why reveal His plan in such an ordinary understated ...read more

The Kingdom Come Series

Contributed by Larry Turner on Feb 22, 2013

The Adventures of Growing in Christ) Listen to the words of Francis Chan: "You go to a building, someone gives you a bulletin, you sit in a chair, you sing a few songs, a guy delivers maybe a polished message, maybe not, someone sings a ...read more

What do you think of when you see a tree stump? Well, for one thing you probably think that tree has seen better days. The glory days for that tree that is now just a stump lie in the past not the future. You would probably not look at that stump and think that great and wonderful days of fruitful ...read more
