So we're going to celebrate today, Palm Sunday, and it's the entrance of Jesus into Jerusalem,

where in fact the Bible says in John's Gospel, he set his face or Luke's Gospel, set his face towards Jerusalem and it was

Palm Sundays where we commemorate the entrance in Jerusalem that Jesus made and it

would be approximately a week until his he would offer himself

to be crucified. Three days later, rise again and change time and space as we know it.

But today we're going to take a few minutes

and I'm actually going to speak in an abbreviated way.

Thank you for not cheering. And you know what I mean?

Standing Novation.

And we're going to talk a little bit about worship.

Now, before we go any further, we've got to establish something, and that is that music is not worship.

Now, oftentimes, we name parts of our services, This is the speaking. This is the worship. But actually

worship is not music. Now music can be used as a platform for worship.

And it's historically, we're the singing faith.

If you're not a Christian today, you're so welcome here.

We love you.

We're so glad that you're here.

This is an opportunity for you today

to kind of peer into what those of us that do follow Jesus, what we believe about worship and what we believe about our great God who is so amazing and became sin so that we could become right with God forever and ever.

And so if we have a skip and our step and a smile in our face, it might not just mean that our favorite team has won in March Madness because has anyone's bracket

actually worked out this year? Absolutely not. But Loyola Chicago, I am telling you ladies and gentlemen I am all in. I was

rooting for Gonzaga. I love this state with all my heart but they're gone so now
