    Contributed by Mark Zorn on Apr 9, 2025
    based on 1 rating
     | 573 views

    Palm Sunday and Passion Sunday are two sides of the same coin, and we’re going to flip it today—hard.

    Introduction: I say good afternoon to you. Today is a day of extremes. We begin with celebration and end with heartbreak. It’s like watching your favorite team win the championship only to see them stripped of the title the next day. Palm Sunday and Passion Sunday are two sides of the same coin, ...read more

    based on 1 rating
     | 4,146 views

    Sermon for Advent 3, year C. John the Baptist sent his disciples to Jesus wanting to know why Jesus allowed him to remain in jail. Jesus quoted the prophet Isaiah back to him, and said, "rejoice."

    Preparing for 2020 John, Jesus, and Joy: Listening to the right prophet. I do not wear pink very often (unless I lose a bet, like today…). But, there is one service in the church year where the priest can wear pink vestments. Rose Sunday, or the Sunday of Joy… Today. I didn’t want to wear ...read more

  • Behold Your King Comes Unto You

    Contributed by Mark A. Barber on Mar 29, 2020
    based on 2 ratings
     | 7,896 views

    Palm Sunday is more than cute kids waving palm branches in church.

    Behold Your King Comes unto You Matthew 21:1-11 Palm Sunday, or Passion Sunday begins what we call “Holy Week.” It was a week of very high drama. The entire gamut of emotion was evidenced, great fear, great suffering, great confusion, great sorrow, and finally, great joy. It joins the week of ...read more

  • Stony The Road We Trod:

    Contributed by Amiri Hooker on Apr 12, 2022
     | 2,394 views

    Jesus’ “going up” to Jerusalem is a public event, interpreted by Luke as a royal entry.

    It is that “slash” day again—as in Palm/Passion Sunday—as in trying to capture two seemingly distinct moods and experiences in one act of worship. It is almost impossible to do, it seems. If we lean toward the Palm Sunday experience and emphasize the exuberance of the triumphal entry into ...read more

  • Seventeenth Sunday In Ordinary Time, B- 17th Sunday Year B-- Two Fish

    In Jewish apocalyptic circles, it was expected that fish would be the main dish at the Messianic banquet.

    Jonathan Turnbough of Garner, North Carolina, talks about the time when his mother was driving him and his sisters to school and she was pulled over by a policeman and ticketed for speeding. After their little visit with the officer, they took off again, and his mother was very careful to stay ...read more

  • Thirty-Second Sunday In Ordinary Time, Year B., 32nd Sunday--Widow Stewardship

    Contributed by Paul Andrew on Nov 5, 2021
     | 1,369 views

    Like the widow in our Gospel today, she is our spiritual mentor standing there on the margins. Not afraid to trust an unknown future to a known God.

    On the first day of a Bible study at a suburban parish, the participants introduced themselves and described what ministries they participated in at the church. The group was filled with active, engaged parishioners. There were lectors, singers, pro-life volunteers, and many more. But one ...read more

  • Fifteenth Sunday In Ordinary Time, Cycle A-- 15th Sunday, Year A --The Sower

    Contributed by Paul Andrew on May 17, 2020
     | 2,689 views

    It is the intuitive mind alone that can penetrate the essence and heart of a parable. Then it becomes a living reality, thoroughly relevant to one’s own life.

    “To throw alongside” a story with cryptic meaning is called a parable in Greek. In Zen Buddhism, a parable is like a “koan,” which is a spiritual inquiry using perplexing language intended to rouse a student’s innate wisdom-mind to apply it to their own life. As Rabbi Ibn Ezra said of parables, ...read more

  • What Was The Real Reason For Palm Sunday? And The Donkey’s Special Part! A Palm Sunday Message Series

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Mar 7, 2024
    based on 2 ratings
     | 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. The reason for Palm Sunday separates into four sections ...read more

    He was not asked for a second-place commandment.

    It is the story of the courtship of Moses Mendelssohn, the grandfather of the great German composer, Felix Mendelssohn. Moses Mendelssohn was a small man with a misshapen, humped back.

  • Twenty-Eighth Sunday In Ordinary Time; 28th Sunday B Rich Young Man

    Contributed by Paul Andrew on Oct 9, 2021
     | 1,336 views

    By the apostles leaving all of that, we can see that Jesus relativized all of the central institutions of his society.

    The rich young ruler is not boasting; he is just speaking as a devout Jew. Not all Christians are called to literally give away their possessions, but all disciples are called to give up everything by way of detachment; that everything we have ultimately belongs to God. Spiritual poverty means to ...read more

  • Jesus' Meal With Matthew Series

    Contributed by Scott Maze on Jun 12, 2021
    based on 1 rating
     | 2,333 views

    If the gospel is only successful among one stratum of society, it loses its punch. But if the gospel assembles people from both sides of the track (rich and poor), there is an intrigue to the gospel.

    Jesus kept the wrong company. In the later decades of the nineteenth century, Hell’s Half-Acre was known as the red-light district of Fort Worth. While the area was cleared in the 1960s for the Tarrant County Convention Center, it was, as the name suggests, a rough and rowdy district. In the ...read more

    It was no limp, namby-pamby, spineless talk but firm punch on the devil’s nose! You got to answer the devil this way! Are you hearing me?

    Oh! What a faith! Daniel 3:18 “But if not, be it known to you, O king, that we will not serve your gods or worship the golden image that you have set up." 21 days of fasting from November 11 to Dec 1 – today 10th day! The above words have been burning in my heart! ‘But if ...read more

  • Labor Day: Laziness And Apathy Series

    Contributed by Scott Maze on Jun 9, 2021
     | 5,165 views

    Apathy is so elusive is that it usually works in tandem with some other toxic habit. Apathy seems to want to work as the set-up punch to other sins.

    Happy Labor Day Weekend to all of you. We continue our sermon series on the Seven Deadly Sins of the Family. Our fourth deadly sin for families is apathy. But I don’t care what you call it. (Yes, I thought we would honor hard workers everywhere by talking about laziness on Labor Day ...read more

  • Good News Of Jesus As King

    Contributed by Gordon Weatherby on May 1, 2013
    based on 1 rating
     | 4,152 views

    It was always in the plan of God that Jesus would be presented as a King. The problem with the kingship of Jesus was that God’s King and Man’s King were not necessarily the same thing.

    GOD’S GOOD NEWS OF JESUS AS KING. Luke 19:28-44 http://chirb.it/FN2Frf I. THE PLAN OF GOD HAD ALWAYS BEEN THAT JESUS WOULD BE A KING. 1.) Jesus was recognized as king at the time of his conception. A.) Luke 1:31-33 B.) Observe if you will these statements from the angel Gabriel to ...read more
