Palm Sunday - Holy Week Begins

Six characters that were part of the first Holy Week will be with us in worship this Sunday, Good Friday, and Easter. I want to encourage you to attend as many of the services and events as possible. Sunday we will celebrate what is called "Jesus' Triumphant Ride into Jerusalem". If we step back from the crowd shouting, "Hosanna!" we discover Jesus riding in humility, on the back of a donkey.

Our text from Philippians 2:1-11 reads, "You must have the same attitude that Christ Jesus had. Though he was God, he did not think of equality with God as something to cling to. Instead, he gave up his divine privileges; he took the humble position of a servant, and was born as a human being. When he appeared in human form, he humbled himself in obedience to God and died a criminal's death on a cross."

What is God asking of you right now? And are you willing to humble yourself in obedience to God? Just as Jesus died and lived again, each time we die to self we live again. Winter is over. Spring is here. God has new life planned for each of us. So rearrange your schedule and make worship a priority this Holy Week. Come and receive your blessing!
