The Rocks Would Cry Out

This Sunday we celebrate Palm Sunday. Pastor Kevin’s message (Luke 19:28-40) will do a quick tour of all that Jesus had done and taught since Luke says Jesus set his face toward Jerusalem where he will prepare to return to heaven. So many parables that no other Gospel records!!

Jesus does a lot of teaching about money and the cost of discipleship, both subjects fitting for our times and Holy Week. A shaky stock market and uncertain times have many of us anxious about what’s going to happen next. This Sunday’s message reminds us that we can trust in God’s goodness and provision in the midst our our current chaos and uncertainty.
