Last Sunday, April 9th 2017 was what is known as Palm Sunday. Palm Sunday is celebrated a week before Easter. It was when Jesus came into Jerusalem riding upon a young donkey, just as prophecy had said. The people had cried out "Hosanna!" and laid palm leafs in his path to honor him.
The sermon Pastor Rob had preached was on "A Different Jesus". The theme came from when Jesus the Messiah was put on trial against Jesus Barabbas. Many are unaware that Barabbas' first name was actually in fact Jesus. And that Barabbas literally means "son of the father." So the people had to choose between the two and they choose to free Barabbas and not Jesus the Messiah. Pastor Rob used this to show how people will choose the wrong Jesus, as the people in Jerusalem had. A Jesus not of the bible. Barabbas represents a Jesus that says hate your enemy, love yourself...ect. While the Jesus of the bible says die to yourself, love your enemy.. ect. So people often pick the self serving non biblical Jesus just as they had picked Barabbas.
It was a fantastic message, as usual. Everyone be sure and try to attend one of our Easter services! We have a Saturday night serive at 6:00pm, and early morning service at 9:15am, and a later Sunday service at 11:15am.
