Sermon Series

"The Gospel According to Trader Joe's"

Matthew 27:11-23


Pastor Bryan Eckelmann


Why do we choose so poorly? Studies show that we have more choice than any generation in history, yet - paradoxically - we are less satisfied than ever. On this Palm Sunday, we look at the choices made by the crowd, by the Roman leadership, and by Jesus - and how these decisions can inspire our choices.


FREE JOURNALS! If you haven't already picked up your Matthew journal, they're available at the entrance to worship on Sunday. Make sure and ask an usher.

Sermon Reflection Questions available on the Small Groups page of the website Friday evening.
