A place for my thoughts and sermons.
Our final Ready for Lent sermon is “Ready for Now” for this Palm/Passion Sunday. Between the triumphant entry into Jerusalem and the tragic death on the cross, the day holds a lot of mixed feelings. How can we be ready for them? How can we be ready for the many ups and downs of life? How can we be ready for now?
Our scripture readings come from Matthew 21:1-11 and Matthew 27:11-54.

Our final message from These 40 Days is “Celebrate the Now.” Are we so busy preparing for tomorrow that we forget today? Do we appreciate the people around us? Do we let others know that we are grateful? Let these 40 days be a time of preparation and revelation.
