Palm Sunday Preaching
Only I can be home for less than 5 hours and then be told that I’m preaching the next day . . .
“For Me . . . ?”

Sermon Summary: [Text Mostly John chp 12
Jesus: “Stop throwing things in front of me that mean nothing; you didn’t grow these Palm trees, I did. They cost you nothing. And these clothes you will pick up the moment the festivties are over and then wash them. You’ll even look back and complain that you ruined your Passover-best to your friends. How about you throw your LIVES down for a change.
And years from now people will read these words and conjure up all sorts of foretelling meanings about my death, completely missing the real point: your death. Your death to self.
Open your hands and lay your lives down before me.
I don’t need your leaves or your linens: I want your lives!”
