Jesus had been working for three and one-half years for this moment.  He had been teaching, healing, and serving – all of which shook up the social system of Judaism.  Now, He’s entering Jerusalem – the one place He shouldn’t be if He wanted to live.  This Sunday, Passion Week Begins With Palm Sunday, and principles that touch us today. 

This Sunday, Our Journey To Rome, a message about Paul’s trip to his beheading in Rome.  In many ways. Paul’s journey to Rome resembles our journey to death.  We will follow Paul’s trip as described in Acts 21-28, and discover some life principles regarding our journey.

 We are into our third installment of Do You Have A Plan?  This Sunday, we will have a conversation about the role of Power in our plans.  We will deal with the “move that mountain” statement, and how faith impacts our plans.

In one week, two teams will be playing for the Vince Lombardi Trophy as the best in the NFL.   There will be hours of planning – watching film – breaking down the strengths and weaknesses of their opponent.  No team would ever think of just showing up and playing the game.  It would be disastrous.  And yet, we do exactly that in some areas of our lives.  This Sunday, Do You Have A Plan?  We will begin a series on the importance of planning in our lives. 

There is a certain pride when it comes to our family names.  We research the history associated with our names and wonder about people we have never met.  As Christians, we wear the name of Christian.  It is our family name.  It carries with it a certain pride and priorities.  This Sunday, we start a series, What It Means To Be A Christian.  The Name we wear declares things about our lives.
