FROM THE PULPIT
Palm Sunday, April 13, Pastor Reeder brings us a look at John 12:12–32 with, “The Hour Has Come.” Join us as we begin our look at Holy Week…the Week of Passion…as Jesus’ remaining days on earth unfold with His anointing, triumphal entry into Jerusalem, and the beginning of the plot to put Him to death. This will be an excellent way to prepare your heart and mind for what God might teach you this coming week.
