Alleluia! He is risen! An empty tomb is what Easter is all about, however, it turns out the tomb was not empty. This year we give thanks for the not-empty tomb of Easter!
Hosanna! Hosanna! This is the cry we'll read about, and sing about, in Family Worship at 11:15am as Jesus makes his triumphal entry to Jerusalem the week before his death and resurrection. TK-2nd graders are singing a special song for this worship service too.
The triumphant entry of Palm Sunday kicks off Holy Week... what can we learn from it this year? It is easy to sit on the sideline and simply observe the memory of these events, but retelling the stories can lead us to renewed lives. Jesus was counter-cultural because He did these things for you. How does your life reflect Jesus in a "me first" culture?
