Palm Sunday "Online"

4/4/2020

 
  Hi Parkside Family.

Well...I must admit I never imagined that I would be inviting you to our "online only" Palm Sunday service.  What an unprecedented time we find ourselves living in.  I trust that you and your family are staying safe and healthy during this time.  As always, please don't hesitate to contact either myself or Roger, should you need anything.

As I mentioned, this Sunday begins our journey together as we take a peek into the final week of Jesus' life on earth.  As Jesus prepares to enter Jerusalem, his triumphal entry is a culmination of a long road that began, not in Jericho.  It didn't begin in Galilee.  It didn't begin in Nazareth.  It didn't even begin in Bethlehem. The final week in the life of Jesus here on earth began long before.  As Adam strolled the orchards of the garden, Jesus was on his way to Calvary.  Jesus took his first step toward Jerusalem with God in his heart.  

Today, I feel a little bit like Jesus must have felt as he rode through the East Gate, knowing what painful encounters were on the horizon.  As health experts continue to predict that things will continue to get worse before they get better, what lesson can we learn from how Jesus handled his final week.  As Jesus rode into the heart of the lion's den, he did so claiming the promises of his Heavenly Father.  Let me share a few of these with you.
  1. When you are confused:  "I know the plans I have for you", says the Lord.  "I have good plans for you."
  2. If you feel weighted by yesterday's  failures:  "So now, those who are in Christ Jesus are not judged guilty."
  3. On those nights when you wonder where God is:  "I am the Holy One, and I am among you."
  4. If you think you can fall beyond God's love:  "Understand the greatness of God's love--how wide and how long and how high and how deep that love is."

Tomorrow, when you find yourself marching toward your own Jerusalem, filled with worry, fear and anxiety, put the promises of God on your lips.  

Remember to join us on Sunday morning at 10:00am for Parkside Fellowship Online.  We will be focusing our time on the story of the Triumphal Entry of Jesus from Luke 19:28-42.  

The easiest way to view the sermon each Sunday is to go to our website, parksidefellowship.org.  On our home, about halfway down the page is a link to either youtube or facebook. Simply click on one of the links and you will be automatically directed to the sermon.

Hope to "see" you tomorrow.

Pastor Doug
