 Strange Investments [45:05m]: Play Now | Play in Popup

Now have you ever wondered what investments God makes? I mean is there some celestial savings plan that allows God to plan for his retirement? No that couldn’t be, after all He owns everything and He can create whatever He needs! What about investments in time? Well, that’s kind of a moot issue as well since God is eternal and time has no effect on Him! That leaves us with one other area, and that is relationships! All through the Bible we find a clear indication that God invests in relationships. He invests in people. But then there is something else we find in the Word of God - He doesn’t just invest in anybody.

 The Hosanna Road [38:25m]: Play Now | Play in Popup

Today we’re going to back up a bit and look at when Jesus first entered Jerusalem. A day that is commonly celebrated in some churches as “Palm Sunday” (which traditionally is held the Sunday before Easter which is next week). When Jesus entered Jerusalem for the last week of his life, he was coming to the finish line. For this 33 year-old man, the last three years of his life had all been about one moment - the moment when he would look upon the many colored faces of the people who inhabit this world, and willingly give his life on the cross to pay the price for their sins. Everything was leading up to this…
