SERMON SNAPSHOT: Sunday, April 10, 2022

Dear Friends in Christ –

Who’s up for a parade? If you had made your way to Jerusalem around 33 AD you could choose from two. Entering one gate the Roman Procurator on a high stepping, nostrils flaring charger. On the other side of town an itinerant prophet bouncing on the back of a donkey. Each to converge as principals in a narrative with cosmic consequences.

This Sunday we focus on Jesus’ entry into Jerusalem - palms waving, coats laid on the road, shouts of Hosanna – Save Us! Can we celebrate knowing the end of the story? You betcha! Because we know that crucifixion isn’t the end of the story. Jesus has already said he is the way, the truth and the life. The end of the story is yet to be written, but we know it includes Jesus and life and us!

This Sunday the children will process, we will baptize Elizabeth Mae Willoughby and we’ll engage the last of the Six Great Ends of the Church – showin’ what it looks like to be a citizen of Messiah’s realm. Second Presbyterian, Doin’ Church!

Let’s worship together this Sunday. Bring someone you love (or even someone you don’t). Let’s enjoy food, fellowship and the grace that is ours and ours to share.

In great anticipation –

This Lenten season we are exploring joy through sermon and study.

Rev. Darwin will lead us through the Six Great Ends of the Church as we explore the great joy of doing church together in our sermon series Doin' Church.

Please worship from home if you are exhibiting any COVID-like symptoms, are aware of an exposure, or have been asked by a school or other institution to quarantine or isolate.
