Rev. Benjamin Wines
Palm Sunday
John 12:12-16
We look forward to joining you in Worship this Sunday, starting at 11:00AM in the Sanctuary. You can also find our services online at the HVBC YouTube Channel. Today’s sermon is titled, “Christ’s Glory”. We will be reading from John 12:12-16, and our Call to Worship comes from Psalm 118.
Call to Worship (Psalm 118)
O give thanks to the Lord, for he is good;
His steadfast love endures forever!
I thank you that you have answered me
And have become my salvation.
The stone that the builders rejected
Has become the chief cornerstone.
This is the Lord’s doing;
It is marvelous in our eyes.
This is the day that the Lord has made;
Let us rejoice and be glad in it.
Save us, we beseech you, O Lord!
O Lord, we beseech you, give us success!
Blessed is the one who comes in the name of the Lord.
We bless you from the house of the Lord.
You are my God, and I will give thanks to you;
You are my God, I will extol you.
O give thanks to the Lord, for he is good,
For his steadfast love endures forever!
Questions for Further Reflection:
In this passage, the people glorify Jesus through the waving of palms, placing their own expectations on him.
Why do we glorify Jesus?
Is it because of who he is or who we want him to be?
