Who Is This Jesus? Today's world is filled with noise and anxiety. During this season of Lent, Jesus invites you to listen, pray, reflect, and simply Follow. Jesus did not invite people into a life of discipleship by saying, “come and lead with me.” Instead, he invited people to “follow him” and “learn from him.” Between now and Easter we are going to be talking about what it means to “follow” Jesus and what it looks like to trust God's “leadership” as we live out our lives.This Sunday is Palm Sunday. The celebration of Jesus' triumphant entry into Jerusalem as king. The Scripture passage is Matthew 21:1-11. Jesus rides into the city on the back of a donkey, as his followers wave palm branches and lay down a bed of cloaks. The whole city wants to know, “Who is this?”We want to connect with you!
