Palm Sunday - The Sovereignty of God
Tim Melton
Luke 19:28-40
At times in scripture we see that God instructed his prophets to speak his instructions to God's people. At other times God instructed His prophet to present to His people an object lesson or living example of the idea that God was trying to communicate. We find an example of this in Luke 19:28-40.
