Palm Sunday

On this Sunday, all over the globe, more than a billion people will celebrate and hear the story of Jesus riding into Jerusalem on a donkey. Over 1 billion people will hear about palm branches being waved and sing songs with the word “Hosanna” in it in remembrance of this moment in the life of Jesus. How many of those billion plus people, though, are responding to Jesus’ call to humble submission? How many love Jesus because of what they think He can do for them but when it comes to the hard stuff, they struggle? How about you?

Jackson, Cade, and Stacey chop it up about spiritual warfare!

Give up your FEAR...God is with you

At the end of Joseph’s life, we catch a glimpse of the fear his brothers still carried around because of what they had done. When Jacob died, the brothers were terrified that this was going to be the moment Joseph had been waiting for all these years. Joseph had to remind these fear-filled men that God’s plans were better and that when God is with you, there is no need for fear!

Give up your GRUDGE...forgiveness brings healing

Joseph could have been bitter when his brothers showed up asking for help. He could have done pretty much anything he wanted to exact revenge on those who sold him into slavery. Instead, Joseph chose to forgive and to let go of his grudges because he understood that forgiveness brings healing. He understood that God had used even the tough things in Joseph’s life to shape him and holding a grudge doesn’t lead us to where God wants us to go!

Give up your FREEDOM...God gives real freedom

Accused of a crime he didn’t commit, Joseph was left to rot in an Egyptian jail. Even though he was faithful and honest while in prison, he still had to experience loneliness and was forgotten by everyone until the right moment. Joseph never lost hope, though. Even though he was in prison, he found a hope and a freedom in God that is available to all of us, no matter our circumstances.

Give up your CONTROL...God has a better plan

Joseph thought he was in control of his path and his destiny, but life has a way of throwing us curve balls. Joseph never planned to lose his freedom and his control in one fell swoop. He never thought his brothers would sell him as a slave. He never thought he’d end up in Egypt, but God had a plan for Joseph. Even though that plan involved some really tough things, God’s plan was better. All Joseph had to do was let go!

Give up your DREAMS...God's is bigger

Joseph was a dreamer. In fact, it was his dreams that originally got him into trouble! Later on in his life, Joseph’s dreams were fulfilled…but not in any way he ever thought possible. We all have dreams and plans for our lives. Often times, however, those dreams are way too small. When we allow God to take over and we give up our dreams for His dreams, we experience something so much better than we would have ever imagined.

DEVOTED to Evangelism

As the early church devoted themselves to living the way of Christ, they couldn’t help but grow. God kept bringing more and more and more people into the family and the first disciples saw it as part of their mission to go and share the Gospel with anyone they encountered. They did it in their hometowns and even around the whole known world. The Bible shows us that all these early followers were devoted to the idea that everyone should reach one.
 

DEVOTED to Authenticity

Another key characteristic of those early Jesus followers was their authenticity. They weren’t trying to be showy or ostentatious. They were who they were, struggles and all, and that was a hallmark of their commitment to Christ. Our world and many churches are filled with fake followers and fake leaders who are always trying to put on their best for others. Their services are shows and their faith is surface level at most. We are called to be different. We are called to authenticity!
