Palm Sunday
Scott Maze
Matthew 21:1-9


Easter is coming and that means more people in our buildings. Make yourself uncomfortable and guests more comfortable by sitting closer to the front and parking farther away - so visitors can have the preferred places. I'm challenging everyone to move up one row closer to the front. Leave our best parking places for our guests. You are some of the best people I know - let's come together by serving our guests on this special Sunday.

In your hands is an 8-day devotional study entitled Holy Week. It's designed to deepen your walk with Christ and to better grasp the events in the last week of Jesus' earthly life. Holy week consists of three parts: 1) Bible reading arranged so you can see what happened on each day in the life of Christ; 2) A short 2 to 3-minute devotional video; 3) A brief time of prayer Everything can be accessed at: http://www.nrhbc.org/holyweek

Sermon Introduction

Palm Sunday is the Jesus' triumphal entry into Jerusalem and it marks the beginning of the last week of Jesus' life. Interestingly enough, so much of the gospels are devoted to the last week of Jesus and most of us don't really grasp this. In John, it comes in chapter 12 of John's 21 chapters - nearly 50%. While in Matthew, the last week of Jesus life commences in chapter 21 of Matthew's 28 chapters - 25%. And in Mark, Palm Sunday arrives in chapter 11 of Mark's 16 chapters - over 30%. Approximately 30% of the four gospels are devoted to detailing the last week of Jesus' life. With so much devoted to this one week in Jesus' life, allow me to introduce you to the importance of a day in the life of Jesus, the Christ.
