By Pastor Doug Bielfeldt on April 14, 2019. Based on the Gospel reading John 12:12-19. Today Marks the beginning of Holy Week and the celebration of Palm Sunday. As we lift our eyes to the Savior passing by and join with the crowds in proclaiming, “Hosanna! Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord,” another image comes to view off in the distance – the cross, reminding us the Jesus came not to fulfill our expectations, but by faith, to exceed them.
