W hat Have You Done With Your Palm Branches?
Pastor Alan Cain E-mail Alan
Lawrenceville Church of God Springfield, Ohio
We've all experienced some kind of rejection in our lives, but perhaps
nothing can compare to the events that surrounded the final days in
Christ's life. In just one week, the same people who had praised him
would crucify him. He entered the city as a King of peace and humility, and
it was not what the people expected. Maybe you've laid down your life for
Jesus only to reject him because he hasn't done what you wanted. Have
you turned your back on your commitment? Will you let Jesus make a
triumphal entry into your life?
Mark 11:1-11; Luke 19:41-44

F our Anchors that Hold Acts 27:21-25,44
Pastor Wally Winner E -mail W ally
Joy Fellowship Church of God of the Abrahamic Faith
In this series on the book of Acts, we're examining the church of the
first-century Christians and what we can learn from this dedicated
fellowship of believers today. When Paul was involved in the ship wreck
from today's passage, the crew threw four anchors over to try and keep the
ship from dashing on the rocks. Many in our present world are in the
storm of their life. We see some being wrecked before our very eyes. We
must hang on even if it is on "pieces of the ship" until we are safe and
share the "four anchors" of true religious faith.

What Must I do to be Saved?
Pastor Scott Ross E-mail Scott
Jaynes Street Community Church of God Omaha, Nebraska
God has drawn a line in the sand. You can't straddle the line. You have to
make a decision to step over the line or not. There's no in-between. God
wants you to have eternal life in the age to come. But the dividing line is
whether you have the son or not. You're either on one side of the line or
the other. You have to make a choice. Will you step over the line?
1 John 5:11,12; Acts 16

O ut of Hiding
Pastor Dave Hixon E-mail Dave
Brush Creek Church of God Tipp City, Ohio
This is not the world that God intended. Death was not a part of His plan.
But God didn't leave us without any hope. As we look at the story of the
resurrection of Lazarus, we see a Jesus angered by death. He called
Lazarus out of his grave and ripped him from the clutches of death. And
Jesus is coming back again. That's our hope. And this time he's coming
to conquer death and give a life that no one can take away.
John 11

After the Sunrise Radio Broadcast: "The Promise"
Pastor Darrell Cardwell E-mail Darrell
North Salem Church of God Plymouth, Indiana
We all have made promises. Sometimes we make promises we can't
keep. Throughout the Bible, God has promised his people many things.
How about having a son when you're 100 years old who all the world will
be blessed from? No problem. God promised.
Genesis 12; 15:3-5; 17:1-11

T he Whole City Asked, "Who is This?"
Pastor John Railton Email J ohn
When Jesus came, he was not all that the people had hoped and
expected. As he made his "triumphal entry" into Jerusalem, he already
knew the acclaim he was receiving would soon turn into shouts of
rejection. The very people he was sent to save would be the very ones
who would decide to turn their backs on him. We have the same choice.
Will you accept Jesus, the Son of David, the Son of Man, the Son of God?
Matthew 21:1-11; Mark 11:1-11; Luke 19:28-44; John 12:12-19

Missions in our Realm of Influence
Pastor Michael Cisler E-mail Mike
North Kent Bible Church Rockford, Michigan
How can we be a part of purposeful outreach? In today's message, we
consider the specific mission and ministry work with those we cross paths
with in our lives. Who are the people you see on a regular basis? How
are you an influence for God's work?
1 Corinthians 3:5-9; Genesis 50:19-21; Esther 4:14; Acts 2:42-47; 1
Timothy 5:3-8; 2 Corinthians 9:6-15

L earning to Hate Our Lives in this World
Pastor Jeff Fletcher E-mail Jeff
Bethel Church of God of the Abrahamic Faith, Pelzer, South Carolina
Do you find yourself ever getting in the way of your own happiness?
Do you find the harder you work at getting what you think you want and
need that you only end up making yourself more miserable. In order
to truly experience the fullness of life God has planned for us, we have
to be willing to let go of our need to be in control of our world. We have
to follow the example of Jesus. We must die in order to live.
John 12:23,25; 5:41; Matthew 16:21-28; 18:1-4; Hebrews 12:2;
Luke 12:16-21; James 4:10

Sunday morning at 9 a.m. and can be heard in the Capital District of New
York State. Each week covers a different topic with a different guest as

other and what the biblical balance is between grace and responsibility.

B rush Creek Radio Broadcast: Absent or Present? 5/19/1974
Dick Worley
What are life and death according to the word of God? Is death just
some kind of transition? Did Jesus really die? Often popular theology
applies to the state of death what the scriptures do not apply until the
resurrection. Why have theologians somehow rewritten the creation
and existence of man?

S culpted in Christ's Image 2/16/1969
Cecil Smead
God has a plan for your life, and we're all called to the work of Christian
service. But how can we live a life that measures up to God's
standards? What has God called you to do? Right now, you might
look like just another fallen boulder, but God sees a new work of art.
Like a sculptor's creation, God gradually chisels away the unwanted
stone in our lives to reveal the image of Christ that's inside of us.
Matthew 16:18; John 1:42; Isaiah 28:16; Ephesians 2:20; 4:13;
Colossians 1:27; 2:12

I 'm Too Busy... 4/8/1971
Kent Ross
The world has a greater need for Christ now than ever before. The
world is dying around us, and we have the only cure. God has big
plans for all of us, but sometimes when we're "busy here and there,"
we miss the opportunities to do His will. What's most important?
What are our priorities? Where is the real Christianity? It's time for
the light in this world to shine brighter than ever.
1 Kings 20:35-40; Song of Solomon 1:6

The Open Bible Pulpit: What This Man Did for Us
Pastor Chuck Jones E -mail C huck Visit Chuck's blog
Church of the Open Bible Pomona, California
A great gulf existed between God and man. Blind sinners were unable
to approach the eternal Father. A "go-between" was needed.
Someone to lift us up. And then came the man Christ Jesus, the great
Mediator between God and sinners.

Kingdom Ministries is a completely faith-based ministry created to
simply and clearly proclaim the message of the Kingdom of God and
to share God's love in a practical way. Today's message takes a
closer look at the end of the life of Jesus from Matthew 16:20,21 and
Luke 18:31-34. What did Jesus tell us about his death, burial, and
resurrection? What did he already know?

1 2 Feet of Separation
Pastor Seth Ross E-mail Seth
North Hills Church of God Springfield, Ohio
For some reason at some time we have all resisted God. Why do we
resist? As we look at the thieves crucified beside Jesus, we see two
entirely different ends. One was angry at the world and angry at God.
The other criminal knew that his punishment was what he deserved.
We all deserve to be judged for our sins. But we have a God who
gives us what we don't deserve just because we ask. God gives us
what life can't. But if God doesn't come through for you, are you
through with Him?
Luke 23:33-43
