This week, we’re recognizing what is known around the Christian world as Palm Sunday, which is recorded in all four gospels. It was immediately recognized by all who were present as an announcement of Jesus as the Messiah. Their King had arrived, a moment they had been anticipating for centuries, but although the triumphal entry happened exactly as they had expected, there were a lot of things their hearts were not prepared for. Thanks to the benefit of hindsight, we understand what Jesus was doing and why it had to be the way it was. When King Jesus arrived, He started to put things in order and reset people’s priorities, which is the same thing that happens when we encounter Jesus today. Using the events of Palm Sunday, Pastor John shares four things we can do to align our misplaced priorities with the Kingdom and get our hearts ready for the King.

A: I'm moving! B: I'm going to a hotel! C: I'm burning this house down! D: Save the children! E: All of the above. Proverbs 4:23  //  Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it. Ephesians 4:26-27 (ESV)  //  Be angry and do not sin; do not let the sun go down on your anger, and give no opportunity to the devil. Carry your anger as short a time as possible. Free flowing anger is detrimental for all relationships. Debt and Debtor Relationship Greed - I owe me Jealousy - God owes me Guilt - I owe you Anger - YOU OWE ME Ephesians 4:31-32 (NIV)  //  Get rid of all bitterness, rage and anger, brawling and slander, along with every form of malice. Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you. Getting rid of anger is more important than getting paid back. Identify who you are angry with. Decide what was taken from you. Cancel the debt. Forgiveness breaks the power of anger.
