Preacher: Jerry Cisar

Palm Sunday opens what is traditionally called Holy Week. It shouldn’t be missed that there was not much “holy” going on that first “Holy Week.” The events we remember on Palm Sunday start that week, and the trial and crucifixion of Jesus complete it. These accounts challenge us to examine the idols in our own hearts and rid ourselves of them.

We in the modern world have demystified the world so we no longer have any idols, right? Wrong! Idols are any human construct (“made by human hands”) that we trust in rather than God. By that definition, they are as numerous today as at any time.

Join us as we examine our worship of Jesus our King to see if our outpost of the kingdom constitutes a house of prayer or an insurrectionists’ lair.
