We are all the same boat
We row together.
We have seen God do amazing things last year.
We are expecting God to do amazing things this year.
Right now we are in the middle of a church refinance project.
We are in the middle of a big online transistion that you’ll hear about soon.
We are preparing for revival.
Preparing for our Marriage Conference.
Preparing for a day of volunteer development.
Youth are preparing for Winterfest.
There is a lot happening right now in the life of New City Church.
And last Sunday morning set the course.
And then last Sunday night at our Night of Worship God heard our worship, heard our prayers, saw our fasting, and GOD showed up in the house in a mighty way.
The altars were filled with people.
The people were filled with the Spirit.
The Spirit filled the House.
Lives were touched.
Boys and girls.
Men and women.
A string presence of the LORD met us.
We worshipped as warfare.
We were reminded of Psalm 149 where worship defeats the enemy.
If the Satan fears a worshipping church lets give him something to be scared of.
Last Sunday night something broke in our worship.
It was us.
It was our timidity.
It was our fear.
It was our complacency.
And when we broke out of our selves God broke out in our midst.
I pray it’s the beginning of a uninhibited worship in the church.
Of course, as the old timers say, When the LORD’s a-blessin’ the Devil’s a-messin’.
Maybe this week you’ve been under attack by the enemy.
Maybe something happened in your family out of the blue.
Maybe you’ve faced setbacks this week.
Maybe you’ve faced not just setbacks but you’ve faced crisis this week.
Uncertainties.
Stress.
Panick attacks.
Here me this morning… When we begin to move out of the wilderness Satan steps up his attack.
Doubters get louder.
Giants look taller.
Battles become more intense.
BUT DO NOT SETTLE IN THE WILDERNESS.
We must press into the promise together.
We must do it together.
We must row together.
We must keep moving .
Together.
Pursue Together.
Pursue Promise together.
But hear me… we can’t pursue promise together if we don’t embrace our journey together.
Bear one another’s burdens.
Pray for one another.
Help one another.
Some of us my be tied up in sin, or in burden, or fear, or confusion.
We need to be untied from our place of holding so that we can walk in the purpose we were created.
Be untied.
Be free.
Be unbound.
Walk in victory.
Walk in purpose.
Walk carrying you King.
We also need to open our eyes to the Promise so that we are no longer blind to the destruction that we invite on ourselves when we close our eyes to the goodness that Jesus has for us.
Open your eyes to the King so you see clearly the destruction the enemy has planned for you.
Let’s look at that this morning.
Let’s be free and be focused.
So lets jump in to Luke this morning.
We are looking at the Triumphal Entry of Jesus into Jerusalem, but this isn’t going to be a normal Palm Sunday sermon.
For one, it’s not Palm Sunday.
For two, It’s not how I sensed God moving as I prepared for the message.
So lets jump in…
Be free and be focused
Be Free
Alright, so you may be familiar with this story.
Jesus enters Jerusalem.
It is Sunday.
On Friday he will die.
On Sunday he will be raised to life.
It’s Sunday.
We call it Palm Sunday.
They laid down palm branches and their out garments on the ground to celebrate him as KING of the Jews.
It was a red carpet entry.
But before the King could ride in, he needed something to ride on.
And it wouldn’t be a stallion or a warhorse.
It would be colt, a foal of a donkey.
The King comes riding on a donkey’s foal.
