Today Sam will be taking us from Palm Sunday to Good Friday. Join us as we talk about it. This is the audio podcast.
We often struggle to feel like God is on time in our lives. We wonder if He will show up in time, or show up at all. But, Jesus' triumphal entry reveals a God who is always right on time. In this episode, Chris Kipp teaches a message entitled, "Right. On. Time", from John 12:9-19. Chris challenges us to see the bigger picture and to remember that when it feels like Jesus won't come through, He is always right... on... time.

The Passover the last year Jesus attended was no doubt the largest religious gathering of the day. It was to this gathering that Jesus was heading when He arrived in Bethany, six days before the Passover.

Pastor Marcus preaches a sermon on Palm Sunday; he discovered new truths that he had not noticed before as laid out in scripture.
If you have the opportunity to meet someone who was dead and came back to life and the person who made that happen you would want to meet them! That's exactly what happened on Palm Sunday with Jesus and Lazarus. So many people were believing in Jesus because of Lazarus that he was deemed a threat to those who were against Jesus. Like Lazarus we continue to point people to Jesus with the stories of our lives wherever we are and wherever we go and when we share Jesus we are being used by Jesus to bring dead people back to life!
Palm Sunday was our Children's Easter program, however, Pastor Neil gave this brief meditation after the program.
Jesus' time had come. He was ready to announce to the World that he was indeed the King. People praised him as the King. Unfortunately the same people were screaming for his death 5 days later. We must be resolute in following Jesus, we must be steadfast.

Selfishness is killing our world today. Believers have lost sight of Jesus’ mission to spread the gospel because they are too consumed with the “I Wants . . .”! Selfishness must not be allowed to enter our lives and and run free! Believers must not try to mask it in “spiritual” words and cliches. We must wage war on our SELFISHNESS and fight for SELFLESSNESS!

As we study the account of Jesus' coronation, we will look at the characters that were present that day in the crowd. Could it be that we have more in common with them than we think?
Jesus' entry into Jerusalem was anything but triumphal. Even though the people proclaimed Him as their king, they had totally missed what Jesus was really all about. Don't be like those people. Worship Jesus for Who He really is and what He has really done.
After Mary anoints Jesus at the dinner at Bethany, John chapter 12 quickly moves to the scene of the triumphal entry of Jesus. While the religious leaders are considering and plotting against Jesus, and now Lazarus as well, they should have been studying the prophecy of Daniel, which would have pointed directly to Jesus as the Messiah! Pastor Steve covers this passage in a shorter study as we prepare for our monthly time of communion as a body.
