What were the people of Jerusalem expecting the day Jesus rode into town? Did they want a King who would lead them into battle to finally defeat the Romans? Probably. That's not what they got. Instead, they got a man riding on the back of a young donkey who was prepared to give up his life for the sake of the world. This sermon examines John 12:12-27 and shows three ways that Jesus may surprise us this Holy Week.

Journey Through The Bible - The Post Exhilic Prophets, Obadiah, Haggai, Zecha...
This document provides a summary of the prophets Obadiah, Haggai, and Zechariah. It discusses how Obadiah prophesied judgment against Edom for cheering at Jerusalem's destruction. Haggai encouraged the Jews to prioritize rebuilding the temple, which would help improve their economic issues. Zechariah received visions and prophesied that the Jews would one day mourn the pierced Messiah and repent at His return, when all nations will come to worship in Jerusalem.
Stop the killing
This document contains lyrics from worship songs praising God, passages from the book of Exodus describing Moses killing an Egyptian taskmaster who was beating a Hebrew slave and then fleeing from Egypt after his actions were discovered, and reflections on violence and the need for love. It discusses Moses initially taking matters into his own hands before realizing he needed to flee and find a new purpose helping his people in a different way.
Jesus christ the end of our sorrow
Jesus and his disciples encounter a funeral procession in the town of Nain for a widow who had lost her only son. When Jesus sees her grieving, he feels compassion and tells her "don't cry." He approaches the coffin and commands the dead son to get up, demonstrating his power over death. The son rises and is returned to his mother. Witnesses praise God, acknowledging that a prophet has come to help God's people. The news of this miracle spreads throughout the region.
Christ in the Old Testament
Two disciples were walking to Emmaus after Jesus' crucifixion, discussing the events with sadness. Jesus appeared and walked with them, but they did not recognize him. He questioned them and called them foolish for not believing what the prophets foretold. Jesus then explained how the Messiah was prophesied to suffer and enter glory. When he broke bread with them, they recognized Jesus, but then he disappeared. They then realized Jesus had opened their understanding of the scriptures.
The Gospel of Mark: Surveying the Son of God (Mark 5: 1-20)
Pastor Jimmy taught out of Mark 5 verses 1-20 this week, showing the importance realizing that although satan seeks to bind and destroy us, Jesus possesses the power to deliver and transform!
See The Salvation of Jehovah: Part 2 — Our Struggle
Exodus 13-15: The journey into the wilderness for Israel began with powerful demonstrations to Jehovah's power and love for his people, yet the people still struggled with fear and unbelief. Three lessons are drawn from this for our growth: 1) from defiance of the world to rebellion against Jehovah; 2) from rebelling to faith; and, 3) faith leads to praise
Is God Listening
David prayed and fasted for his child who was ill. The elders tried to comfort David but he refused to eat. God uses suffering to bring spiritual growth, as seen in how Paul's disappointments led him to new appointments that advanced God's work. God is always listening and in control of all things, from heaven to our lives, as shown through his resurrection of Lazarus even though he waited until Lazarus had died.
A supernatural encounter mark 5 -1-20 - march 17, 2013
1. Jesus encounters a demon-possessed man among tombs, casting out many demons into a herd of pigs.
2. The crowd reacts in fear upon seeing the now sane man, while the man wants to follow Jesus.
3. Jesus instructs the man to go tell his friends about what the Lord has done for him.

Journey Through the Bible Part 6: Joshua - Promise Fulfilled
The document provides an overview of the biblical book of Joshua, which tells the story of the Israelites conquering the promised land under Joshua's leadership after Moses' death. It describes how Joshua led battles to take cities like Jericho and defeated nine city-states, carrying out God's command to completely destroy the inhabitants. The document also discusses the morally controversial nature of these actions and God's past judgments against severely sinful peoples. It notes an example of Rahab showing faith in God and receiving mercy. Finally, it emphasizes the lessons of obedience to God and choosing wholeheartedly to serve him alone.
The ten lepers
Jesus healed ten men who had leprosy by telling them to go show themselves to the priests. As they went, they were cleansed of their disease. Only one of the men, a Samaritan, returned to thank Jesus. Jesus questioned why the other nine did not come back to give thanks as well. The story teaches that we should remember to stop, go back, and thank God for his goodness and healing in our lives.
Josiah2 Kings23
Josiah was king of Judah for 31 years. During his reign, the Book of the Law was discovered in the temple. After reading it, Josiah realized the people of Judah had turned to idolatry and were no longer worshipping God alone. He called the elders together and had all the pagan altars destroyed. Josiah removed the idols of Baal, Asherah, and Molech in an effort to reform the nation's worship and turn the people back to serving only God. However, the reforms did not fully address the people's idolatry and misplaced worship, as the kings after Josiah continued to do evil in God's sight, ultimately leading to Judah's exile

Bold As A Lion: Catch Some Rays
People will say, "why does God even allow us to disobey him in the first place? Wouldn’t the world be so much better if he didn’t?" But at the same time, it is an opportunity for him to show His redemptive power, which is more than He could have done if we never needed to be rescued in the first place.
Zacchaeus meets jesus coloring book
This document is a children's storybook based on the Bible story of Zacchaeus meeting Jesus from Luke 19:1-10. It contains 11 pages with illustrations and text summarizing the key events: Zacchaeus climbs a tree to see Jesus passing by; Jesus calls out to Zacchaeus and visits his home, prompting Zacchaeus to repent of his wrongdoings and make amends. The last page provides instructions for coloring and assembling the pages into a book.
Gleanings From Ruth_Not reaping the edges
Gleaning was God's provision for the poor. God did not leave generosity to chance. He created laws designed to place a safety net under orphans, widows and needy people. Landowners were instructed not to harvest every last stalk, but to leave something for the needy. This provision figures prominently in the story of Ruth, a story of two widows living on the edge.
Prayer that moves mountains
The secret of mighty prayer. He who moves mountains must make prayer a life habit. He, like Daniel, must regularly meet with His God. Prayer must become as natural as breathing. With such prayer, men defeat spiritual forces arrayed against them that no human means could overcome. By such continuous prayer, the enemy is kept at bay, and a hedge of protection is maintained about us and evil cannot touch us.

So What Now
Journey Through the Bible Part 7: The Book of Judges
The document provides an overview of the Book of Judges in the Bible. It discusses the recurring cycle in Judges of the Israelites rebelling, being oppressed by enemies, repenting, and then having a period of rest. It summarizes several of the main judges, including Gideon, Deborah, and Samson. Samson is discussed in more depth, noting how his strength came from keeping his Nazirite vow but was lost when his hair was cut. The document emphasizes how the failure of the Israelites and judges to listen to and obey God led to their sins and suffering.
Jonah study
The Lord commands Jonah to go preach against the wicked city of Nineveh. However, Jonah runs away from God by boarding a ship to Tarshish. God sends a great storm that endangers the ship. When the sailors discover through casting lots that Jonah is responsible, they throw him overboard, calming the sea. God then provides a huge fish to swallow Jonah, where he remains for three days and nights.
Jonah the runaway prophet
Jonah is assigned by God to go to Nineveh and warn the city of its wickedness and impending destruction. However, Jonah rebels against God's command and flees by boat to Tarshish. A great storm arises at sea threatening the boat, and the sailors discover through casting lots that Jonah is the cause. They throw Jonah overboard, and he is swallowed by a great fish. After three days, Jonah prays to God in repentance. God then commands the fish to vomit Jonah up on dry land, and Jonah proceeds to Nineveh to deliver God's message as originally instructed.

JESUS AND WE 1 -FAITH-FILLED, BIG-THINKING - PTR. JOSEPH FERMIN - 6:30 PM EVE...Faithworks Christian Church
This document contains several Bible verses about faith in Jesus Christ and working through him. It discusses how faith allows people to accomplish great things, please God, and receive his promises. The verses show that Jesus marveled at people's faith and was able to do more through those who believed. Faith empowers believers to live for Christ even in the face of hardships.Vintage jonah 1.5.14
God calls Jonah to go to Nineveh and proclaim a message of impending judgment. However, Jonah flees by ship to Tarshish to avoid the mission. God causes a great storm and Jonah is thrown overboard, but is swallowed by a large fish that later vomits him out. Jonah goes to Nineveh and proclaims they will be overturned in 40 days. The people repent and God spares the city, much to Jonah's dismay. God reminds Jonah that He is merciful and cares for the lives of the many inhabitants of Nineveh.
CommUNITY Slides, 2/10/13
The document presents numerous biblical passages that depict God as prioritizing community and unity. It emphasizes that community is not a peripheral concern but rather central to God's plans. The overarching message is that biblical community, as exemplified by life groups, should not be an optional program but rather an essential part of how the church functions to support believers.
Outcasts #2 Zacchaeus Hans Rasmussen 2 5-17
Jesus loved the unlovable, in this series we will highlight Jesus’ pursuit of those many would label “outcasts.” Jesus often goes out of His way to reach the outcasts of society. His love is extravagant, relentless and inspiring!
8.19 sermon outline
It can be so easy to fall into a rut of praying prayers that are safe and easy for us to pray. In this series we are praying some dangerous prayers that are guaranteed to stretch our faith. Today we are going to pray "Here I am God, send me". We are going to put our "yes" on the table and tell God that we are willing to go wherever he will send us.
Personal Dominion - Understanding God's Power and Authority in You
Personal Dominion - Understanding God's Power and Authority in YouRadical Youth Nottingham (RY Notts)
This document discusses the concept of place and assignment. It argues that a person's place is their position in Christ and location/assignment from God. To be in the right place, one must walk with God and have a discerning spirit. If one is out of line with their assignment, it can negatively affect others and they may be removed from that place. One's assignment is where God places them and gives them purpose. The document also discusses having dominion or authority through speaking words that establish God's will and being patient during preparation by trusting God's process.Jonah part i
God calls Jonah to preach to Nineveh but Jonah flees by boat. A storm arises and the sailors discover Jonah is responsible, throwing him into the sea to calm it. Jonah is swallowed by a large fish, prays inside for three days, and is then vomited out. God again calls Jonah to Nineveh, where his warning of destruction in three days causes the entire city to repent from the king to the animals. God sees their repentance and decides not to destroy the city, showing his desire for all people to repent and be saved.
Jesus makes Headlines - 7 April 2019 - Bruce McCallum
Jesus enters Jerusalem riding on a donkey to fulfill a prophecy. Large crowds lay down palm branches and cloaks to welcome him, shouting "Hosanna" which means "save us". Later, some in the crowd change their tone and demand Jesus' crucifixion. Religious leaders are concerned by the large crowds following Jesus. The disciples initially do not understand Jesus' mission is to suffer and be killed in Jerusalem.

Jesus' Passion Through the Eyes of John: Great Expectations
This sermon from John 12 explores the Triumphant Entry of Jesus into Jerusalem from the vantage point of the conflicting expectations. We look at how expectations fuel enthusiasm, and how unmet expectations lead to a strong backlash.
Gospel of John - #21 - Reaction to Lazarus' Resurrection
In this section John describes the reaction that various people had to Lazarus' miraculous resurrection.
Jesus Loves Me! Slides, 4/13/14
The crowd that had witnessed Jesus raise Lazarus from the dead went out to meet Jesus as he approached Jerusalem, waving palm branches and praising him as he rode into the city on a donkey. Although the disciples did not initially understand the significance of these events, they later remembered that they fulfilled prophecies about the Messiah.

The Christ and the Crisis part 2
This document summarizes Jesus' entry into Jerusalem on Palm Sunday according to the Gospel of John. It discusses how Jesus fulfilled prophecy by riding into the city on a donkey. It describes the three groups that greeted Jesus - Passover pilgrims from outside Judea, Bethany locals who witnessed the raising of Lazarus, and fearful Pharisees. While the crowds welcomed Jesus as the Messiah, the Pharisees did not understand his mission and worried about unrest. The document emphasizes that Jesus' entry was part of God's plan to sacrifice the Lamb.
Betrayed yet in complete control
1) Jesus went to the Garden of Gethsemane with his disciples, where Judas betrayed him with Roman soldiers and officers sent by the chief priests and Pharisees.
2) When the soldiers asked who they were seeking, Jesus replied "I am", causing them to draw back and fall to the ground in his presence.
3) When Peter tried to defend Jesus with a sword, cutting off a soldier's ear, Jesus told him to put the sword away and that he would drink from the cup given to him by God.
What's Most Important about Palm Sunday - John 12:12-19
There are many significant symbols and features surrounding our Lord's entry into Jerusalem on Palm Sunday. What, however, was most important? This is the question we answer in this study.
What's Most Important About Palm Sunday?
All four Gospels -- Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John -- record the triumphal entry of Jesus Christ into the city of Jerusalem on Palm Sunday, Nisan 10. This study is an exposition of John 12:12-19 and answers the question: "What's most important about Palm Sunday?"
The man whose name is blotted out
This document discusses the biblical tribe of Dan and explores some key figures associated with it. It notes that Dan is omitted from the twelve tribes listed in Revelation and shares some details about the tribe's history of idolatry. Two figures from Dan, Samson and a blind man from Bethsaida, are examined. While Samson prioritized strength over sight, King David's prayer exemplified prioritizing sight. The document closes by asking the reader reflective questions about learning from Dan's example.
Popular Jesus
The crowd heard Jesus was coming to Jerusalem and went to meet him with palm branches, hailing him as king. Jesus rode into the city on a donkey as prophesied. His disciples did not understand at first but later remembered the prophecies about him. The crowd bore witness to Jesus raising Lazarus from the dead, and came to see the sign. The Pharisees saw the crowds following Jesus and were growing frustrated in their efforts to discredit him.
Gospel of John - #20 - The Resurrection of Lazarus
The death and resurrection of Lazarus is viewed from the eyes of the principle characters who witnessed this great miracle by Jesus.
Jesus was not triumphant in his triumphal entry
This is a study of how in the long run the triumphal entry of Jesus ended in failure, for the people did not accept Him as their king.
This is a perspective often missed, but Christians still see it as a great positive move of Jesus, and we celebrate it.

40 Days_Jesus and John
Throughout the fourth gospel, the author identifies himself as the "Beloved Disciple." We will discuss why he does so and whether the author of the disciple who Jesus appears to in John 21 is, in fact, John the son of Zebedee or someone else. This sermon asks a key question: What does it mean to be a "beloved disciple of Jesus."
31 His Teachings
- Jesus knew that Judas would betray him, as it was foretold in scripture. At the last supper, Jesus troubled by what would happen, told the disciples one of them would betray him. He identified Judas by giving him a piece of bread dipped in broth. After receiving the bread, Satan entered Judas and he went out to betray Jesus to the chief priests. Though Jesus loved Judas, his betrayal was part of God's plan to fulfill scripture and bring about salvation for mankind.
Israel for Steck class part 2
The document provides information about several important biblical locations in Israel:
- The Jezreel Valley where Armageddon will take place according to Revelation 16:16.
- Golgotha, the place where Jesus was crucified according to John 19:16-18.
- The Pool of Siloam where Jesus told a blind man to wash according to John 9:6-7.
- The Pool of Bethesda near the Sheep Gate where Jesus healed a paralyzed man according to John 5:1-9.
- Gilgal where Joshua set up 12 stones from the Jordan River according to Joshua 4:19-20.

Lição 12: João 15 a 17 – O Espírito Santo e a Oração Sacerdotal | 2° Trimestr...
Esta lição é uma oportunidade para discutirmos um assunto multo mal interpretado no contexto cristão, que é o fato de algumas pessoas pensarem que o conhecer Jesus é ter a nossa vida mudada em todas as áreas, como se Deus tivesse o dever de transportar-nos deste mundo para um outro mundo onde muitas coisas maravilhosas que desejamos seriam reais. No entanto, a nossa fé não nos tira do mundo após nos convertermos; ao invés disso, permanecemos vivendo sob as mesmas circunstâncias. O propósito de Deus não é nos tirar do mundo, mas nos livrar das ações do maligno (Jo 17.15), Sendo assim, a vida eterna não significa estar fora da realidade deste mundo, mas conhecer o único Deus verdadeiro (Jo 17.3).
sanskrit yoga mantras chanting for yoga class
Introduction
Mantra Yoga is an exact science. "Mananat trayate iti mantrah- by the Manana (constant thinking or recollection) of which one is protected or is released from the round of births and deaths, is Mantra." That is called Mantra by the meditation (Manana) on which the Jiva or the individual soul attains freedom from sin, enjoyment in heaven and final liberation, and by the aid of which it attains in full the fourfold fruit (Chaturvarga), i.e., Dharma, Artha, Kama and Moksha. A Mantra is so called because it is achieved by the mental process.

Astronism, Cosmism and Cosmodeism: the space religions espousing the doctrine...
This lecture created by Brandon Taylorian (aka Cometan) specially for the CESNUR Conference held Bordeaux in June 2024 provides a brief introduction to the legacy of religious and philosophical thought that Astronism emerges from, namely the discourse on transcension started assuredly by the Cosmists in Russia in the mid-to-late nineteenth century and then carried on and developed by Mordecai Nessyahu in Cosmodeism in the twentieth century. Cometan also then provides some detail on his story in founding Astronism in the early twenty-first century from 2013 along with details on the central Astronist doctrine of transcension. Finally, the lecture concludes with some contributions made by space religions and space philosophy and their influences on various cultural facets in art, literature and film.

Is Lucid Dreaming Dangerous? Risks and Benefits!
Lucid Dreaming: Understanding the Risks and Benefits
The ability to control one's dreams or for the dreamer to be aware that he or she is dreaming. This process, called lucid dreaming, has some potential risks as well as many fascinating benefits. However, many people are hesitant to try it initially for fear of the potential dangers. This article aims to clarify these concerns by exploring both the risks and benefits of lucid dreaming.
The Benefits of Lucid Dreaming
Lucid dreaming allows a person to take control of their dream world, helping them overcome their fears and eliminate nightmares. This technique is particularly useful for mental health. By taking control of their dreams, individuals can face challenging scenarios in a controlled environment, which can help reduce anxiety and increase self-confidence.
Addressing Common Concerns
Physical Harm in Dreams Lucid dreaming is fundamentally safe. In a lucid dream, everything is a creation of your mind. Therefore, nothing in the dream can physically harm you. Despite the vividness and realness of the dream experience, it remains entirely within your mental landscape, posing no physical danger.
Mental Health Risks Concerns about developing PTSD or other mental illnesses from lucid dreaming are unfounded. As soon as you wake up, it's clear that the events experienced in the dream were not real. On the contrary, lucid dreaming is often seen as a therapeutic tool for conditions like PTSD, as it allows individuals to reframe and manage their thoughts.
Potential Risks of Lucid Dreaming
While generally safe, lucid dreaming does come with a few risks as well:
Mixing Dream Memories with Reality Long-term lucid dreamers might occasionally confuse dream memories with real ones, creating false memories. This issue is rare and preventable by maintaining a dream journal and avoiding lucid dreaming about real-life people or places too frequently.
Escapism Using lucid dreaming to escape reality can be problematic if it interferes with your daily life. While it is sometimes beneficial to escape and relieve the stress of reality, relying on lucid dreaming for happiness can hinder personal growth and productivity.
Feeling Tired After Lucid Dreaming Some people report feeling tired after lucid dreaming. This tiredness is not due to the dreams themselves but often results from not getting enough sleep or using techniques that disrupt sleep patterns. Taking breaks and ensuring adequate sleep can prevent this.
Mental Exhaustion Lucid dreaming can be mentally taxing if practiced excessively without breaks. It’s important to balance lucid dreaming with regular sleep to avoid mental fatigue.
Lucid dreaming is safe and beneficial if done with caution. It has many benefits, such as overcoming fear and improving mental health, and minimal risks. There are many resources and tutorials available for those interested in trying it.

What Were You Expecting? | A Sermon on the Triumphal Entry in John 12:12-27
- 11. John 12:1-8 The Home of Lazarus, Martha, and Mary
- 13. John 12:12–13 (NRSV) The next day the great crowd that had come to the festival heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem. So they took branches of palm trees and went out to meet him, shouting, “Hosanna! Blessed is the one who comes in the name of the Lord— the King of Israel!”
- 16. John 12:14–16 (NRSV) Jesus found a young donkey and sat on it; as it is written: “Do not be afraid, daughter of Zion. Look, your king is coming, sitting on a donkey’s colt!” His disciples did not understand these things at first; but when Jesus was glorified, then they remembered that these things had been written of him and had been done to him.
- 18. Jesus is a King of PEACE, not WAR.
- 19. John 12:17–18 (NRSV) So the crowd that had been with him when he called Lazarus out of the tomb and raised him from the dead continued to testify. It was also because they heard that he had performed this sign that the crowd went to meet him.
- 22. Jesus’ SIGNS need a TESTIMONY.
- 23. John 12:19 (NRSV) The Pharisees then said to one another, “You see, you can do nothing. Look, the world has gone after him!”
- 25. John 12:20–22 (NRSV) Now among those who went up to worship at the festival were some Greeks. They came to Philip, who was from Bethsaida in Galilee, and said to him, “Sir, we wish to see Jesus.” Philip went and told Andrew; then Andrew and Philip went and told Jesus.
- 27. John 12:23–26 (NRSV) Jesus answered them, “The hour has come for the Son of Man to be glorified. Very truly, I tell you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it remains just a single grain; but if it dies, it bears much fruit. Those who love their life lose it, and those who hate their life in this world will keep it for eternal life. Whoever serves me must follow me, and where I am, there will my servant be also. Whoever serves me, the Father will honor.
- 29. Jesus’ DEATH is for the WORLD.
