Palm Sunday Sermon

Good News / Bad News Hey, did you ever hear the one about when the guy says, "I’ve got good news and I’ve got bad news..."? Of course you have. There’s more than one.

The problem in America is greed. Things haven’t changed!

The Passover of the Jews was near, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem. In the temple he found people selling cattle, sheep, and doves, and the money changers seated at their tables. Making a whip of cords, he drove all of them out of the temple, both the sheep and the cattle. He also poured out the ...read more

Jesus Enters Jerusalem Series

Contributed by T.j. Conwell on Sep 11, 2014

Jesus' entry into Jerusalem brings two things to light: 1) The crowds expected Him to act immediately on their behalf, and, 2) His actions will always be for and to honor His Father, first!

"Jesus Enters "His” Temple”

Contributed by Clarence Eisberg on Mar 30, 2022

Another parable from Jesus, about “God’s” character, as Jesus enters His temple, corrupted by the selling of livestock and money changers. Notes from Kenneth Bailey's book "Jesus through Middle Eastern Eyes" understanding the parable.

Who’s In Charge Here!? Premium Sermon

Contributed by PRO Premium on Oct 9, 2023

This sermon explores the authority of Jesus as the Messiah, the pride and blindness of the Pharisees, and the call for humility and inclusivity in faith.

Welcome church! Today we’ve got an interesting passage about the authority of Jesus and the inability of the Pharisees to see Jesus for who He is.

Lessons From Jeremiah – Part 8 – National Evils Are Widespread – Murder, Injustice, No Repentance, Delusion Series

Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Feb 25, 2024

The guilty argue with God and there is no repentance. Again God requests that Judah remembers her past devotion and return to the Lord. Idolatry is everywhere and the innocent poor are killed. There is no justice anywhere and delusion is rampant.

Templegate: Jesus Cleanses The Temple - Easter 2024

Contributed by Scott Maze on Apr 1, 2024

The Bible says that many were willing to believe in Him because of His signs, or His miracles. Still, Jesus can see through such false “belief.” If belief were a pool of water, then their belief would have been a puddle.

Happy Easter to all of you, and we are so glad you are here this morning. Ever since Watergate that took down the 37th President of the United States, scandal and corruption stories often end with the word” gate” as a result.

Palm Sunday - What Jesus Saw

Contributed by Steven Kellett on Mar 18, 2016

What Jesus saw on Palm Sunday were people whose worship was "fruitless, fraudulent and faithless"

You know, Palm Sunday is kind of a strange day to me. It’s hard to explain, but today is kind of an enigma: - We call it “Palm Sunday.” - It seems like it should be a special day – a “holiday.” And in some ways it is - It is marked every year on the ...read more
