Spring 2017

A person's last words are always laced with significance. Jesus' last words to his disciples were exactly that; they would be the catalyst to change the disciples' city, region, nation and their world. The resurrection and Jesus' subsequent commission set in motion a world-impacting movement that is still on the march today. As a church, we have a rich history of ordinary heroes making the truth that Jesus is alive known to a dying world. In fact, this Sunday, we will actually physically see that because this message continues to be told, lives are being changed all around us.

This Sunday we’ll travel together with Jesus as he makes His journey from Bethany to Jerusalem for His last Passover. We will pause at three points along the way, observing the events that unfold and the reaction of the people to these events, before finally arriving in Jerusalem to enter the temple with Him. During this short trip we catch a glimpse of His zeal for God, His love for His people and who He really is… which may perhaps surprise us.

God is the best listener, and we are called to be like Him. Listening is an holy art, an expression of God’s love. But how can we listen well?
