Northgate Christian Community

Pastor Jon shared the story of Palm Sunday with the congregation and explained the historical context of Jesus’ triumphal entry that was depicted in John 12. He mentioned that the typical entry for a king in Jesus’ time was in a chariot pulled by white horses. However, Jesus humbled himself by turning toward Jerusalem and riding in on a donkey. Pastor Jon also explained the fact that one misconception that we as Christians should seek to overcome is that Jesus’ gift of salvation on the cross is a gift that we need to earn. He explained that the purpose of a gift is to be received rather than earned. He concluded his message with a call to think about any people that you feel called to invite to Easter Sunday service and reach out to them this week.
