Happy Palm Sunday! As we approach Easter and our celebration of the resurrection of our Lord, we continue to look at His roles as “Prophet, Priest, and King”. Today we will be focused on Jesus as a priest. Priests were a central part of Old Testament society. It was the priest who offered the … [Read more…]
Today we begin a short series on the work of Christ and its implications for each of us. We will think about the different aspects of His ministry and how they teach us not only more about Him but about our response to Him. As we approach the most significant season of the year it … [Read more…]
