Church 4/9/2022
Offertory scripture:
Sermon message:
Tomorrow is Palm Sunday. This begins Holy Week, commemorating the most important week in human history.
A time to restate your faith in Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, and to rededicate yourself to God.
Thesis: Celebrators and criticizers
Both exist. Praise God for the celebrators and be aware that Satan is responsible for the criticizers. Sometimes it’ll be for the same things.
It happened when King David was so excited about bringing the ark of the covenant back to Jerusalem that he danced.
It happened when Jesus healed a man on the sabbath.
Don’t receive advice from critical people.
Today: examining the day Jesus rode into Jerusalem. There were celebrators and criticizers.
Today: Choose to be a celebrator of God and His Son Jesus Christ.
Point #1: Jesus rode in as the Lamb of God
Point #2: Jesus rode in as the only way to God
To answer the critics that say: isn’t it terrible that God made only one way?!
Response: I think it’s wonderful God made a way at all!!
Point #3: Jesus was celebrated.
There is a direct correlation between the choice to celebrate vs criticize, and your physical health.
Point #4: Jesus was also criticized
He never stopped moving forward even when He was criticized.
Don’t let criticism stop you. You will have celebrators and criticizers. Keep going. Keep doing what God has called you to do.
Point #5: How will you respond to Jesus?
Will you receive Him or refuse Him? Will you criticize the church and other believers or celebrate the church and other believers?
