Blessed be the kingdom of our father David, that cometh in the name of the Lord: Hosanna in the highest. Mark 11:10.

Today is Palm Sunday. The day Jesus rode on a donkey into Jerusalem the week before his crucifixion on Calvary’s cross. Jesus received high praise from the people, but it was short-lived. By the end of the week, the same people shouted crucify Him. Church, as we receive the Messiah, Jesus Christ, let our praise be continuous and not with chaos. Praise God for sending His Son to die and redeem mankind back into a right relationship with Him.

He is not here, for he is risen, as he said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay. Matthew 28:6.

Next Sunday is Resurrection Day. The entire membership will celebrate the risen Savior, Jesus Christ. Sunrise Service begins at 6:00 a.m., Breakfast at 8:00 a.m., the Sunday School Department Easter Program at 9:30 a.m., and the 11:00 worship service. Church, let us prepare to get up and come out to worship early, fellowship around the table, encourage our Sunday School Department, and conclude with the second service.

I want to take a moment to commend members who serve in the ministry. Those who help behind the scenes and on the front line. Thank you to Sis. Kelly Smith for her submittal of pictures to go onto the church website, and Mrs. Yvonne Rhetta, who I forgot to acknowledge in February, for the creative presenters for Black History Month. Church, let us continue to pray for and encourage all of our ministries as they continue their service to God and the entire membership of Miracle.
