Selected highlights from this sermon

When Jesus entered Jerusalem on a donkey, He was not demeaning Himself. In fact, it was a sign of His kingship. The men who gave Jesus the donkey were not only fulfilling God’s divine will, they believed that Jesus was the King. They also set an example we should follow in serving Jesus, too.
