Ephesians 2:4-7
Happy Palm Sunday to all of you! The day Christ enters in Jerusalem with shouts of Hosanna ringing in the air. As much as I admire Martin Luther King Jr., there are not even two people who gather every Sunday to celebrate him.

And what if you were darting by your children's classroom at school only to have someone tell you that Lazarus, the man who was dead for 3 days was in the next room down the hall? And he talking to Eutychus, the young man who fell asl ...
