Re: POWER of PRAYER- No Matter Which Faith You Follow=GOD is With You
Palm Sunday
On this day long ago, our Lord Jesus Christ entered the city of Jerusalem to joyous shouts of “Hosanna” (a phrase which means “save”). The people who shouted those words did not understand the kind of Savior Jesus would
be. They assumed He would proclaim Himself king, assemble an army and overthrow the oppressive forces of Rome. When He failed to do that, they turned against Him in anger and hate. Within a few days of their shouts of “Hosanna” became shouts of “Crucify Him!”
What the people of ancient Jerusalem could not understand, God has clearly revealed in the pages of Holy Scripture. Jesus rode into that city knowing that He would be rejected and nailed to a cross. He willingly gave
His perfect life to save us from our sins. Today, we proclaim “Hosanna” knowing that Jesus Christ is indeed the only source of salvation – for us and for our fallen world. As we worship Him with joy on this holy day, let us also recommit ourselves to serving Him with gladness! Let us tell the
world about our Savior, so that more and more people can experience the joy of salvation and join us in serving Him!

I urge, then, first of all, that petitions, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for all people -- for kings and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness. This is good, and pleases God our Savior, who wants all people to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth. 1 Timothy 2:1-4
