Hello Church!

Hope you are having a great week. This Sunday we will be hearing a message from Pastor Mark on Matthew 21:1-11 as we worship with the choir and have a visit from a mini horse!

Here is a summary of this Sunday's message from Pastor Mark:

"Each individual had their own perception and hopes for Jesus. Some viewed him as a miracle worker, others as a political savior, and still others saw him as a threat to their religious beliefs. The disciples, crowds, and Pharisees all had differing views of Jesus. Considering these varied expectations, it's likely that no one wanted to follow Jesus to the cross. Instead, everyone hoped to follow him to victory, expecting him to overthrow the Romans. If they had known that Jesus' triumphant entry into Jerusalem would lead to the cross, they wouldn't have cheered for him as they did.

Although the journey to the cross may seem like defeat, in the Kingdom of God, it represents the path to overcoming sin and darkness. It is the path that brought us salvation, freedom, and a loving relationship with God. Therefore, as we welcome Christ this Palm Sunday with cries of Hosanna, let us be prepared to walk with Him towards the cross."

See you this Sunday at 10:30am in-person or online!
