Wonderful Palm Sunday!

We had a great meeting yesterday. Good crowd (almost 50, and lots of new people), good food, good times.

To check out my sermon, which was on Jesus' so-called "triumphal entry" into Jerusalem (what else?) five days before he was killed(!), click here.

The basic theme was that we are all much like the crowd on that day 200o years ago, in that we want God to do our bidding, to conquer our enemies and problems, and we start to resent Him when He doesn't deliver. Even so, Jesus conquers our selfishness and unbelief, not by destroying us, but by destroying himself, thus forgiving those who "know not what they are doing" (and even those who do!).

Hope to see you on some Sunday soon!
