For three years they had followed Jesus, listened to His teachings, watched Him perform signs, and now they thought He was gone, so now what? Following some appearances to the disciples and others, Jesus tells them to wait in Jerusalem for the gift of the Holy Spirit.

Synopsis: Ironically, Easter is the easiest and one of the most difficult services for Pastors – often times we fall into the trap of wanting to preach something new on the story everyone knows. I decided many years ago that Easter is not the time for something new. God gave us this great story – our story – and we need to hear it over and over and over again – or else we could fall into the trap that the Corinthians fell into.

Easter, it demands that we make a decision. Do we believe in the resurrection of Jesus Christ? Do we believe that Jesus died for our sins on the cross? Do we believe Jesus to be, The Way, The Truth, and The Life?

Synopsis: When we think of Palm Sunday, we think of a triumphant parade, we think of people waving palms and shouting, “Hosanna, blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord!” We think of Jesus riding on a colt. One part of this parade we don’t think about is that Jesus stopped the parade to weep. We’ll look at why Jesus wept and ask some questions of ourselves.

Synopsis: Today we continue our journey through Lent, preparing to experience Jesus’ crucifixion and resurrection. Today we experience Jesus weeping over Jerusalem, sad that most of the Jewish leadership and Jewish people have rejected Him and His ministry. The passage begs us to ask the question, does our life lead to Jesus, the cross, and the Kingdom of God, or are we more established in the world?

Our passage today tells of Jesus explaining to the disciples how His kingdom on earth would come to be. This wasn’t the picture that the Jewish people had in mind when they pictured the coming Messiah. Peter, in haste and disbelief, pulls Jesus aside and starts to rebuke Jesus. Jesus then rebukes Peter and explains that his thoughts are earthly and not divine. Do we ever make that mistake, focusing on earthly things, and not divine things as Jesus stated to Peter?
