Jesus has spent the last three an half years ministering to the masses. Even with all they have seen and heard, they still do not understand who Jesus is or why He has come. Today, we find Jesus riding over the Mount of Olives into Jerusalem on the back of a colt. As He rides the people cry out Hosanna as they lay cloaks and palm branches along His path. To the Pharisees their actions speak volumes, and so they urge Jesus to quiet down the crowds. But Jesus knows what this day is for, and tells them, if the crowds do not praise, the stones will.

Christian Atheist ~ In April we will begin a new sermon series titled Christian Atheist. This series will based on the book The Christian Atheist by Craig Groeschel. The premise of this book and series centers around the idea that many of us believe in God but live as if He does not exists. While the book is not essential to the sermon series, we encourage you to pick up a copy to read on your own.
