King Jesus

Sep 22, 2024    Pastor Joel Denney

Pastor Joel examines Mark chapter 11, focusing on Jesus' triumphal entry into Jerusalem and the events that followed. He emphasizes three central themes: blessed availability to God's service, the authority of King Jesus, and the necessity of forgiveness. Pastor Joel explores how Jesus entered Jerusalem not as the conquering political Messiah Israel expected, but as a humble king offering salvation from sin rather than from Roman oppression. Pastor Joel challenges believers to make themselves available for God's purposes, to pray with faith and expectation, and to walk in forgiveness as they have been forgiven. Throughout the message, he calls believers to recognize that what we most need deliverance from is not external circumstances but the sin within our own hearts, and that Jesus alone has the authority to bring transformation.
