Palm / Passion Sunday

Hosanna to Crucify 

Based on John 12:12-16 & Mark 15:6-15

       Palm Sunday and Passion Sunday are two sides of the same coin. They are two sides of the faith God wants you to have in your life. Rejoice and sing as Jesus comes into your life! Weep and mourn as his death confront you with your sin
