Pentecost is not just an important day for the Christian Church, it's an important for the everyday life of every Christian. Pentecost has means that we have the ability to speak God's Word to everyone, everywhere, everyday because we have been filled with the power of the Holy Spirit!

When Jesus chose to pray for the church, He asked God the Father something very specific and somewhat surprising about what he wanted for the church. But in Jesus request we hear about the power of unity in the Body of Christ in carrying out Jesus great mission for the church.

Mother's Day can be filled with mixture of emotions. But one thing is for sure all mothers and all people for that matter need what the perfect Son can provide, mercy and forgiveness. As we follow Jesus our desire is to continue to crave, long for, and desire the pure spiritual milk of the Gospel and the inclusive message of Jesus who is the way, the truth and the life.

When Jesus appears to some of his followers on the road to Emmaus following his resurrection, it is almost like a cosmic edition of the show undercover boss as they don't recognize Jesus after all he had died and been buried in a tomb. Yet in this incredible appearance Jesus reveals not just himself but the Word and in doing so shows how incredible the love he has for us as more of his followers would later write.

The eyewitness testimony about the Resurrected Jesus was and is the foundation of the Christian message! And the good news is because Jesus has risen from the dead, we too, through faith in him have hope of our own resurrection!

The Resurrection of Jesus is the greatest event in the history of the world. His victory over death itself, is your victory. You have the victory over sin and death through the restoration that Christ brings, through faith in Him. Jesus lives! The victory has been won for you!

The resurrection of Jesus changes everything!

Waving palm branches was a part of the beginning of the most important week in the history of the world and because of those events an even greater celebration with palm branches is coming for those who follow Jesus.
