Palm Sunday 2015 at Dakota

I hope you will join me this Sunday at DCC as we prepare our hearts to focus on the most important event in human history; the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ.

It all begins with the triumphal entry of Jesus into Jerusalem on the first day of His final week of earthly ministry, soon the joyous shouts of “Hosanna” and “Glory to God” will turn to angry cries of “Crucify Him”. 

Friday looms large on the horizon, but Sunday is coming right behind it.
The sermon will be followed by a pancake brunch. Remember to arrive a little early if your food items need warming.

We have been taking an extended look at the instruction from James in James 1 to, “Count it all joy, my brothers, when you meet trials of various kinds, for you know that the testing of your faith produces steadfastness.

After setting his readers straight on the issue of blaming God or anyone else for the temptation to sin, James goes a little farther now by describing exactly what happens when we are tempted with the desire to do things that God has not approved. He is warning us in particular not to give in to temptation in the face of difficult trials, a time when we may be even more susceptible to the idea of taking a little break from godly living.

I hope you will join me this Sunday morning as we consider some powerful scriptural imagery regaurding sin, its consequences and how freely we should proclaim the gospel of grace.

We have been taking an extended look at the instruction from James in James 1 to, “Count it all joy, my brothers, when you meet trials of various kinds, for you know that the testing of your faith produces steadfastness.

Most of us can no doubt point to various trials we have endured with a sense of gratitude for what the Lord has been able to accomplished in us through these difficult times. We have seen and received the grace that God gives to the humble, we have sought His wisdom and found the promise to be true. 

Now James tackles what I would say is a more common human reaction to hard times; the question of blame. 
What is the cause of all this trouble, who is responsible for the mess I find myself in?
If God is Sovereign and the creator of everything then does it not logically follow that He is ultimately the source of all temptation to sin as well?

I hope to see you all this Sunday as we observe James’ answer to this wrong line of thinking and spend a little time becoming more familiar with the goodness of God and the perfection of His character.
