Is Anyone Listening- Palm Branches to Thorns
SERMON THEME
Palm Sunday is also known as Passion Sunday. The beginning of Holy Week and Jesus’ final agonizing journey to His crucifixion. When Jesus rode a donkey into Jerusalem, it was as “King for a Day”. It was only a day because as soon as He didn’t do what they wanted Him to do, the same people that shouted Hosanna shouted Crucify Him.
SCRIPTURES
Matthew 21:1-11; Luke 19:39-41 ; Matthew 24:1-8; James 1;

Discuss and Reflect
Have you ever expected God to do something and He didn’t do what you expected and you became disillusioned?

Die to your “self will”
Receive resurrection power
PRAYER POINT / DECLARATION
We decree that the church in California is prepared to display the works of God that will bring about great glory to the name of Jesus. 1 Peter 2:12
'These individuals are nothing but brute beasts—irrational creatures, born in the wild to be caught and destroyed—and they will perish like beasts. They are professional insulters, who slander whatever they don’t understand, and in their destruction they will be destroyed. '
