     | 4,327 views

    How does the donkey feature in the Palm Sunday account? Its story is interesting. We look at the prophetic Psalm 118; the entry Jesus made into Jerusalem; Isaac; and how that connects with His yet future Jerusalem entry at the Second Coming when He rides on the white horse not a donkey.

    WHAT WAS THE REAL REASON FOR PALM SUNDAY? AND THE DONKEY’S SPECIAL PART! A PALM SUNDAY MESSAGE Welcome again to all of you and we have a message today that shares some wonderful passages of scripture for this event known as Palm Sunday.

    Temptation Is Information

     | 3,773 views

    First Sunday in Lent. The sermon is about how our temptations in life can give us information about ourselves, and the world.

    Temptation is Information Temptations are too much for some people to handle. I heard a few years ago a 340lb man sued a hospital for 900k, claiming it ruined his gastric stapling operation. The man underwent weight loss surgery to cure his overeating. The surgeon implanted 70 tiny staples to ...read more

     | 3,714 views

    We can know the price of an item but not necessarily understand what it's going to cost us. Jesus asks us to make and informed and deliberate decision about deciding to follow Him by outlining what it's going to cost us. (spoiler alert: it's everything - but it's worth it.)

    You can hear the audio of the sermon on my podcast at: https://www.buzzsprout.com/697261/7655599 Following Jesus - Counting the Cost Intro: • Price is Right show – fascinating and compelling game show where we are entertained by watching people guess the price of various products.

    It’s when you embrace humility and love humility you’ll not only make progress toward humility, but you’ll be a long way down the road toward experiencing real love. Instead of seeking recognition in a relationship, know you are already loved and valued by Christ.

    Last Sunday, we began a series devoted to bringing the change into our lives that we’ve always longed for. It’s a series devoted to explaining, promoting, and advocating living life with the fruit of the Spirit. Ask the person sitting next to you if they know the fruit of the Spirit.

    Paul continues to address the church by dismissing the very traditional of circumcision; stating the importance coming from Deut 30:6 that declares it is our hearts that must be changed, not just our physical bodies!

    There are times when we instantly reject the message of God because it offends us and hurts us. We don't even want to consider it's true. But what happens when we ask God to go away?

    - Image: a broken mirror with most of the pieces missing. - Maybe do the image as a drawing on a piece of butcher paper, with four of the ten pieces colored in blue to look like a mirror. - Discuss how little of yourself you would know if you had such a limited mirror.
