Palm Sunday 2026

Repent and Believe

David writes about the awesome wisdom of God's creation in Psalms 19, which then takes an interesting turn. He then starts talking about how the Word of the Lord is perfect, converting the soul and also "cleanse me from secret fault," "keep your servant back from presumptuous sin." Jesus' first sermon as recorded by Mark was simple. "The Kingdom of God is at hand; repent and believe the Gospel." The Word of the Lord is perfect, converting the soul. Repent and believe the Gospel. Paul said it was the power of God unto salvation. Repent in Hebrew means to turn. In the Greek it means to change the way you think. When you change how you think about the weight and sin that so easily besets us and turn away from that to God, and believe the Gospel, your life is transformed.

Water That Truly Quenches Thirst

In John 4, a woman heaves a heavy waterpot to and fro at unusual times to avoid the crowd . A woman who has been rejected and divorced by many husbands. She comes across Jesus who offers her living water. Once she accepts who He is, she leaves the heaviness behind and runs to the people she used to avoid to proclaim Him. Perhaps she even went to some of her ex-husbands...no longer bitter, but excited and transformed by the Man who told her everything she ever did, as the promised well of everlasting life sprang up in her. Truly this is the Christ.

Resurrection Sunday 2026

Christ was crucified. The disciples were in hiding. The women were mourning. The sun was rising. The mystery was beginning. The resurrection is not a day we celebrate...its a reality we live in. Despite being slain, He took the keys of death and hell back, took away death's sting and the grave's victory. May the Lord bless you greatly in this resurrection season.

Palm Sunday 2026

Jesus enters into Jerusalem to the fanfare of people rife with Messianic fervor. The Pharisees are plotting, but everyone is trying to catch a glimpse of the Messiah, whom recently resurrected His friend Lazarus from the dead. Tension between Jesus, the politics of Herod and Rome, and the Pharisees trying to maintain balance is at an all-time high against the backdrop of the Son of God, setting records straight at the start of what will be His last five days before His crucifixion.

The Resurrection and the Life

Long time friend of Jesus, Lazarus, is dead. Mary, Martha, and others mourn while Jesus shows up four days late with a promise that Lazarus will live again because Jesus is the Resurrection and the Life. What follows next sets Jesus into the final climactic week of Jesus' earthly ministry. Stay tuned. John 11:17-56
