As Palm Sunday dawns, confusion swirls around Jesus' identity and mission.  Jesus' final prayer is a plea for God's continued protection and unity amidst His followers' trials.  This all foreshadows the sacrifice that will ultimately bring oneness through His resurrection.

 QUESTIONS FOR THE WEEK:   Comfort Comfort: Hosanna

1. Why do you follow Jesus?  

2. Read John 17.  What does Jesus pray for?

3. How does the Father protect us?  What unity does Jesus give us?

4. What does it look like to you to follow Jesus today?

Update from Haiti. Letter, Photos, CBS Miami

Here is a Email Meschac sent to pastor about what is going on in Haiti.

The 3 videos are from CBS Miami who flew to Haiti with Meschac. Top Video is the best.

Information about my travels

On Tuesday, March 19th, Missionary Flights International carried 4 passengers, including myself from the United States to Haiti. As there is so much turmoil in Haiti at this time, the flight experienced turbulence for the entire 4 and half hour trip giving us a preview of what was to come. We landed safely in Cap Haitien to clear through customs and then continued our journey to our final destination in Pignon, Haiti. Unfortunately, people here are starving. I am grateful to MFI because I had an opportunity to bring in some ramen noodles, dry milk, peanut butter and medical supplies for 100 people but it's just not enough. The people all over Haiti are struggling because of the violence in Port au Prince. It has blocked aid and everyday necessities from getting to small villages because there is no gas to travel. Staple products such as rice, beans and oil are too expensive to buy when they are available so families are going without. 

Habitat For Children Ministries is about 3 and half hours from the capital of Port au Prince but we are feeling the effects through the widespread hunger. We know that we can't feed everyone but the more help that we can get, the better the people of Haiti will be. I have been talking with people in the United States for future food shipments but the Haitian families need help now. We at Habitat want to continue our efforts in helping as much as we can for as long as needed because we know of the political hardships that continuously affect this country.

[Sunday] Plainly Overcome - Comfort Comfort

Sermon From 1st Service ;)

As we approach the crucifixion, Jesus is giving comfort amidst coming hardship, revealing a deeper connection with the Father and to peace despite future scattering. All this echoes the story of Lazarus, where Jesus' power over death foreshadows His ultimate sacrifice for humanity.

 QUESTIONS FOR THE WEEK:   Comfort Comfort: Plainly Overcome

1. When are times when you’ve felt scattered in the world?  When are times when you’ve caused others to feel scattered?

2. Read John 16:25-17:6.   Jesus says that He speaks plainly and to take heart that He’s overcome the world.  Describe some times when Jesus was scattered.  How does Jesus overcome those times?

3. What does it mean that Jesus overcame the world for you?

[Sunday] Clean Vines - Comfort Comfort

Like a vine tender cares for their vineyard, Jesus nurtures each branch. Nicodemus, once overgrown and shadowed, needed pruning to grow in the light. At the cross, after 3 years of pruning, everyone else saw only darkness, but Nicodemus saw the light of the King.

[Sunday] Abraham Called Ephesians Ch 1

Father Abraham was called to look up at the stars and see countless descendants. Believing this calling, he moved forward in sinfulness as he tried to throw it all away. Even when we fail in our callings, God is still faithful to that original promise of Abraham, bringing unity to people.

[Sunday] Baptism Of Our Lord

God is pleased, not because the Jordan River is great (it's not); not because Jesus is from an important town (He is from the sticks); not because Jesus has done anything great yet. God is pleased because the creation is being made new, not with greatness or power, but in grace.
