The title of my message today is, “When People See Me – What Do They See?” Now of course the obvious answer is they see us right? But is that true? Do they see “us,” or do they ...read more

    Palm Sunday - The Triumphal Entry

    Contributed by Alan Perkins on Mar 25, 2024
     | 1,808 views

    When Jesus entered Jerusalem on Palm Sunday, he was at the height of his popularity. But only a few days later, the crowds were calling for him to be crucified. What happened? And what did the Triumphal Entry signify that the people didn't understand?

    Today is Palm Sunday, one of the most significant days of the church calendar. And I think it’s fitting to remind ourselves that as we worship this morning here in our church we are part of a worldwide celebration, one that has been repeated every year for twenty centuries. In other words, this is ...read more
