This morning we will examine first the answer to the question, Who is this Jesus?  The simple answer is that He is the Christ and the Son of the living God! What does this mean?  We will dig into what the Bible says about the Messiah!  In our second part of the sermon we will consider the statement, "In Him all things hold together."  Many times throughout the New Testament we hear the words, "In Him...".  Turning to the words of the Apostle Paul in the Colossian letter we will the critical nature of the concept of "In Him...".  We will be driven to the conclusion that every moment of our Christian life is dependent up being in Him!

Traditionally, today is called "Palm Sunday" by the masses.  Some call this day the Triumphal Entry of Christ.   Did you know today is the day that Jesus wept over Jerusalem nearly 2,000 years ago.  He wept for those lost souls who would experience the abomination of desolation and then the eternal lake of fire!  Did you also know that Jesus knew of this day and even planned for this day with His Father before the foundation of the world?   The Scriptures reveal Jesus knew 520 years before He would come into the world that on this day He would ride into Jerusalem on a donkey!  Did you also know that nearly 1,000 years before this day came to pass that Jesus foretold His coming into the city of Jerusalem through a prophecy in the Psalm 118 penned by King David?  Did you also know that the LORD Jesus Christ spoke to Moses of this day by way of prophetic utterance in Exodus 12:1-3?  Finally, did you also know that just a few short days before Jesus wept over Jerusalem, weeping for those who would be lost for eternity because of their rejection of who He was and that He came for them as their King and spiritual Deliverer that He wept with those who loved Him!  Today's sermon is titled, "The Day of Painful Weeping of Our Christ!"  We will examine and answer all these questions Today!

In this episode Eli interviews Blake McAllister regarding a failure in the outdoors. Lets learn about Blake and his hunting experience, as well as his story of a big cat stalking him, or was it?

Knowing that suffering is inevitable are you prepared for the many difficulties and challenges that await you in the future?  How will you respond to them?  Will you respond with self control, conviction, and faith that the LORD is sovereign and will provide for you and protect you until He is ready to take you home?  How does a person prepare for the day of the fiery furnace of affliction?  The lesson this morning is designed using the Scriptures to give us God's answer on how to be prepared for the inevitable.  Let us look at the example of three young men of faith and learn from them.  Then let us turn to the teachings given to the Apostle Paul as he encourages us to be prepared and equipped for every temptation, challenge, or affliction that will come our way.

This morning we will continue to root out the old "Carnal Man" way of thinking and responding to suffering and affliction with the “New Man mindset” that recognizes the LORD's work and will is being accomplished in our lives through the testing and refining of our faith and character in what He calls “the furnace of afflictions.”

What painful afflictions have you experienced in your life that have led you to the LORD, tested your faith, and also strengthened, refined, and purified your thinking and living?  This is a very good question but another is also quite important, how did you respond to these difficulties that often times included pain and suffering?  How should the Christian respond when experiencing a furnace of affliction?

This morning I will share the specific paradigm we need to adopt as children of God in my lesson titled, "What to Expect from the New Paradigm Toward Suffering." We will be listening to the Lord Jesus and His Apostles, Peter and Paul, as they teach us what we are to expect regarding suffering as Christians. First, they will clearly illustrate the mindset we must possess to embrace affliction, suffering, and persecution for doing the will of the LORD. Second, they will describe and illustrate how to respond when we are persecuted or made to suffer for doing what is right in the eyes of the LORD. Brethren, to embrace this new mindset and allow the Scriptures to transform our responses toward the many trials, challenges, difficulties, and afflictions that come to us through persecutions is critical for our forward movement in leading others to Christ in perilous times.
