Service Location: the Strawbridges' (2760 S Ogden St, Englewood)
Time: 10:00am
Dear Church,
We'll be celebrating Palm Sunday this week at the Strawbridges house. Also, coming next week will be our Maundy Thursday passover meal at the Miltons and Good Friday back at the Strawbridges. This week will be our last Choir practice before Good Friday and Easter.
Our journey through Mark continues this week. On the podcast, Joe and Tim discuss Mark 11. They talk about Jesus' triumphal entry into Jerusalem (Palm Sunday), where Jesus demonstrates authority by instructing disciples to bring him a colt. The crowd welcomes Jesus as a king, laying coats and palm branches on the road, symbolizing royal honor. Jesus then curses an unfruitful fig tree, symbolically reflecting Jerusalem's spiritual barrenness, and cleanses the temple, asserting his authority over it. The fig tree's withering symbolizes impending judgment on Jerusalem due to its lack of repentance. Lastly, they discuss Jesus teaching on the power of prayer, emphasizing the necessity of forgiveness for effective prayer and authority in faith. Listen to the podcast on Spotify or Apple Podcasts.
