Big Idea
In this week’s message, Pastor Tracy Boyd looked at how the events of Palm Sunday were represented in the four Gospels, and how they relate to the Father’s heart toward us. Pastor Tracy discussed how in the events that took place prior to Jesus’ crucifixion, Jesus had both the crowd and disciples in mind; Jesus drew the crowd closer to Him and equipped His disciples for greater purpose through every miracle He performed and word He spoke as He entered Jerusalem. Jesus was intentional about using the final moments of His life to show how the Father sent Him to destroy the works of the devil, remove wrong motives and agendas from our hearts, and give us the faith needed to see His full plan for our lives come to pass.
