Was It A Morning Like This? Series

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Mar 4, 2022

Love On The March

Contributed by Doug Silvers on Mar 24, 2015

In the story of the Palm Sunday, Jesus was unafraid to march into the lion's den and willfully take what the world would give him. Jesus' humility and selfless act is masked on this day. We see Palm fronds and sing "Hallelujahs", but Jesus saw us.

Love on the March Mathew 21: 1-11 & Isaiah 50:4-9 In a military setting, marching is done for a variety of reasons. It can be to get all of a platoon or squad from one place to another, Or, marching can be a way to show mastery of skill. It was in boot camp where we practiced the entire time ...read more
