Why is Jesus special? Simply put, he's not like us. You, and I, and those who have come before us, have been formed in a mindset that admires domination and destruction. The power of Jesus is different, and the crowds who ushered him into Jerusalem with a parade on the first Palm Sunday knew it! In this week's message, Pastor Mia tells us why those poor and powerless peasants recognized that Christ was worthy of a celebration.

Church is a community of faithful disciples finding God in the gathered community. We are not like-minded, we are like-following. Just as parties are better with others, so is worshiping God together. We are saved together.

Is the Bible reliable? Reliable for what? Which Bible? The holy Scriptures are faith testimonies handed down by many people over centuries of time. People had an encounter with God, an encounter that changed their lives so much they called it salvation. They've passed down their stories, poetry, wisdom, and testimony so that we can encounter God too.
