Sermons

Sunday Sermon

Sunday, March 24, Palm Sunday


Even Stones Would Shout


As we enter Jerusalem with Jesus, we learn that even stones would shout God’s praise. As the Rev. Dr. Mark Hargreaves points out “it's not just humanity that praises God, the whole of creation joins in praise of the creator.”
