Sunday Notes & Reflection

Every Sunday morning message is one that deserves our focus and follow through. Pastor Steve’s blog posts are meant to serve the congregation with sermon notes, thoughts, passages, and follow-up questions to pray on and chew on throughout the week.

Palm Sunday - Crown or Cross

Today we acknowledge the day Jesus arrived in Jerusalem and was celebrated by  hundreds of thousands of people.

Passover is a massive spring festival where Jewish people come together from all over the region to  celebrate and remember the liberation of the Israelites from Egyptian slavery. This festival lasts  about 7 days.

In this message we’ll take a look at how Jesus was celebrated as the promised Messiah on his way into Jerusalem, but in one short week, some of those same people turned on him. They took away the crown they gave him and gave him a cross.

The question we must ask ourselves is, are we aware that being a fan of Jesus isn’t enough? If we will worship him in the good times, but not in the difficult times, where is our faith really at?

Scriptures used today:

Mark 11:9 ESV | Daniel 9:24-26 ESV | John 19:15 NLT | Daniel 3:12-18 NLT
