Palm Sunday service takes place on Sunday, March 29 at 10:15am - all are welcome to join us.

On this day we recall Jesus' Triumphal Entry into Jerusalem, riding on a donkey, with the crowd throwing down clothing and palm branches before Him.

Their cry? "Hosanna to the Son of David."

As we will hear in Sunday's sermon, Hosanna means, "Save us Now."

However, when the cry goes out, "save us now" we must ask "Save us from what.

Those in the crowd wanted Jesus to be their king and save them from the oppression of their enemies- like Rome, Samaria, and the surrounding heathen nations.

That is not what Jesus comes to do. As He stands before Pontius Pilate at the end of this week, He tells Pilate, "My Kingdom is not of this world."

Jesus is not an earthly king. Jesus does not come to save us from our earthly enemies. Jesus comes to take on the enemies behind the enemies: Our sin. Our death. Our Hell. Those things that breed earthly enemies. Ultimately He comes to deliver us from the power of darkness and the devil, rescuing us from eternal death. Jesus comes to take away our sin.

Through faith given to us by the Holy Spirit, when we cry "Hosanna" to Jesus, He saves us eternally. This is why we sing, "Hosanna, loud hosanna." For He has come to save us.

Palm Sunday worship takes place at 10:15am this Sunday with Palm Sunday Hymnody, readings, Sermon, and Holy Communion.

Beloved,

All Midweek Services are cancelled tomorrow, February 25.

While the lot has been plowed, there is extreme icing on the lot.

There is also an extremely hazardous condition with the plowed snow pile blocking all vision of oncoming traffic when pulling out of the lot onto Frowein Road. It is unsafe.

The Sermon for Tomorrow's Midweek Service will be available online tomorrow afternoon.

Side Streets remain treacherous. Please stay home.

We pray for warmer weather next week.
