Three Minute Thoughts

Romans is a book heavy on the message of the gospel. The gospel will be unpacked and expanded through this book. Today we see how the gospel has power and it's nothing to be ashamed of by any means.

The final words of Matthew's gospel are a reminder to all of us that there's so much more than just sitting around hearing. We have a mission ahead of us and it's time to get moving!

The end of the road for Jesus went as predicted but not as many hoped. Jesus is bold. He's unwavering. He's consistent even when his followers are weak and mushy.

Jesus tells of his end and the many things that were stacked against him. Jesus was obedient and all so that he could do what the Old Testament said would happen.

Jesus teaches us to be ready all the time. No one knows when the end will be here so be ready!

There are things we call signs of the end. Some of the signs are easy to understand, others not so much. What do the signs tell you?

There are so many people who make you live by a rule but they themselves aren't willing to live by that same rule. We call them hypocrites, and Jesus has plenty to say about hypocrites.

The bible teaches that just because you know the truth it doesn't you necessarily live like you know the truth. You were invited but you still have to respond to the invitation.

Jesus is welcomed as king and that's all good but they obviously don't understand what it's all about. So not knowing the whole story they kind of get things messed up. Here's the link to the Palm Sunday message with some deeper connections to the story of Palm Sunday. https://youtu.be/2pzk63ikKm0

Sometimes life just doesn't seem fair. This is what Jesus says about a fair kind of life.
