What Happened During Passion Week?
Happy Resurrection Day!
The week leading up to Easter is often referred to as the Passion Week. This week began with Jesus’s entrance into Jerusalem on a Sunday (Palm Sunday) and ended with His death and burial. This, of course, led to His resurrection—Easter—which we are getting ready to celebrate in just a few days.
When you read the four gospels in the New Testament, you get the picture that the Passion Week was an incredibly busy week for Jesus and His disciples. I would like to take a few minutes to walk you day-by-day through this week, maybe the most famous week in history. You will see that most of these events can be found in all four gospels.
Sunday
As mentioned above, this week began on Palm Sunday with Jesus’s entry into the city of Jerusalem. You can read about this in Mt. 21:1-11; Mk. 11:1-11; Lk. 19:28-40; Jn. 12:12-19. Some…

The Office of Apostle
I am new to the idea of the 5-fold ministry. Sure, I have read Ephesians 4: “And he himself gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, some pastors and teachers, equipping the saints for the work of ministry, to build up the body of Christ, until we all reach unity in …
The Coming of Jesus and Antichrist – 2 Thessalonians
If Paul describes precursors to the “Day of the Lord,” does that not contradict 1 Thessalonians 5:2 when the Day of the Lord is described as coming like “a thief in the night” – a sudden coming of Jesus? The “day of the Lord” was something that bothered the Thessalonians. In chapter 2 of second …

Covenant – Various passages in Hebrews
What makes the New Covenant superior to the Old Covenant? The writer of Hebrews makes a bold claim in chapter 8:6. “But Jesus has now obtained a superior ministry, and to that degree he is the mediator of a better covenant, which has been established on better promises.” He is claiming that a New Covenant …
Everything in the Bible is True… BUT
Excellent overview of what the Bible is and isn't. We do not worship God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Bible - We worship the true Trinity God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit.
The Promise of Faith and the Destruction of Legalism – Romans 4
Why did Paul use Abraham in his explanation of God’s promise coming through faith? Paul, a Pharisee and one of most learned Jews of his day, had a profound affinity for Abraham.

A Few Prophetic Thoughts Since Billy Graham Passed
Interesting thoughts on Billy Graham.
By the time you read this, it will have been 9 days since the passing of Reverend Dr. Billy Graham. People will have attended his funeral and perhaps, some of the shock will have settled as the world comes to grip with the reality that he is no longer living among us. I have been pondering what prophetic insight I could glean from his passing, especially in light of so many others who have both previously have prophesied about him.
