    How do you respond to Christ the King Who is the fulfillment of the ages? Like Herod, and all Jerusalem with him, do you hate Him and fear Him? Or, like the shepherds and magi’s, do you bow down before Him and worship Him?

    Opening illustration: A young boy desperately wanted a bicycle for Christmas, so he asked his parents for the bike; His parents wanted to teach him the importance of prayer, so they suggested the young boy should write a letter to Jesus and pray for one instead."

    On Palm Sunday expectations as to who Jesus was did not meet with reality, Often when expectations don't meet with reality the outcome will be conflict, either internal or external. The religious people already had their minds set on an outcome for Jesus.

    Palm Sunday Sermon expectations? In Luke’s gospel as in all the Biblical gospels we are given a depiction of what is often referred to as the “Triumphal Entry”, we have this depiction of Jesus mysteriously instructing a couple of his disciples to head off into town and untie a ...read more

    For years I thought the only reason the Wisemen came to Jerusalem was to get directions. But I was wrong. What other possible reason could the Wisemen have had for going there?

    My home church met in a huge building. The main sanctuary had four sections of pews that ran back 12 rows or so and the back section had another 2 sets of pews. Then there were two balconies that ran along the sides of the main area. They said they could seat over 600 people in that building. ...read more

    While life may often seem to lack coherence, Matthew 2:1-15 shows us that God gives it His own unique cadence and rhythm. Ultimately, we don't have to have all of the answers if we know the One who does, and we humbly follow His lead.

    When Life Seems To Have No Rhyme Matthew 2:1-15 1. The Magi left for the land of Israel "on the brink…" - “A crucial or critical threshold, beyond which success or catastrophe occurs” - The Magi were on the brink of making a great personal discovery. - The chief ...read more
