Rev. Tom Meyer
Jesus gives a great analogy of staying connected to him and what benefits come from that relationship. When we as the branches stay connected to the the True Vine, we can do anything.
We are living stones being built into the temple of God. His presence is where we, his church, are! He has chosen us to be a special people, a royal priesthood to declare His praises. He has called us out of darkness into his wonderful light!
Jesus arrival into the city of Jerusalem angered the Pharisees. Was he proclaiming himself to be king of the Jews? The messiah? He taught a gospel different than what they expected. They told Jesus to quell his disciples. But it is impossible. If the disciples didn't speak, then the stones would cry out.
Pastor Meyer explains how the love of Jesus changes everything in our lives, from our bad habits, to the way in which we use the gifts that God gives us. How is he using you?
Each of our names mean something special to us. It's something that is with us for our entire life! What does Jesus' name mean, and how does it change us?
