March 20 Worship

3/14/2016

This Sunday brings us to Palm./Passion Sunday.    It is the time when Jesus makes his entry into the holy city.  We have these words recorded for us from John's Gospel:

"The next day the huge crowd that had arrived for the Feast heard that Jesus was entering Jerusalem.  They broke off palm branches and went out to meet him.  And they cheered:  Hosanna! Blessed is he who comes in God's name!  Yes! the King of Israel!  Jesus got a young donkey and rode it, just as the Scripture has it:  'No fear, Daughter Zion:  See how your king comes, riding a donkey's colt.'  The disciples didn't notice the fulfillment of many Scriptures at the time, but after Jesus was glorified, they remembered that what was written about him matched what was done to him."  John 12:12-16  Message Bible

What is interesting here is that the disciples would come to see that Jesus is the fulfillment of what was spoken in the Scriptures.  He fits the picture of the Messiah presented to us in the Bible.

In our worship we will have a guest speaker who will talk further about this fulfillment.  He will also speak to us about the meaning of the Passover Meal which Jesus and his disciples would celebrate later in the week.

I would invite you to come for this special presentation and learn more about Jesus as being the promised Messiah.  Each worshiper will also receive a palm branch to take home.   Weather permitting, we will have an outdoor procession of the palms into the church at the beginning of the service.
