Palm Sunday is the day we celebrate the triumphal entry of Jesus into Jerusalem, one week before His death and resurrection (Matthew 21:1–11). As Jesus entered the holy city, He neared the culmination of a long journey toward Golgotha. He had come to save the lost (Luke 19:10), and now was the time—this was the place—to secure that salvation. Palm Sunday marked the start of what is often called “Passion Week,” the final seven days of Jesus’ earthly ministry. Palm Sunday was the “beginning of the end” of Jesus’ work on earth.
In this time leading up to Christ's crucifixion on the cross, we find Jesus in the garden of Gethsemane praying to His Father to take the burden of His sacrifice that is to happen. Yet at the same time, Christ knows that His death is His Father's will and that it must be done. Christ died for everyone so that those who believe can have their sins forgiven and be saved.
Moses and Aaron were fearless leaders in the wilderness. Even though God provided, the people continuously complained. God provided again, and they people complained again. Over and over this repeated. God was angered, and introduced snakes into their midst to test their faith. Does this sound like what is happening today? God continually blesses us, yet we fail to see His love and provisions. Since the fall of mankind, humans have been slaves to sin. Only Jesus can save us.

In the New Testament, Transfiguration is when Jesus Christ took three of his disciples, Peter, James, and John, up on a mountain, where Moses and Elijah appeared and Jesus was transfigured. His face and clothes became dazzlingly bright. The Transfiguration is a preview of the future when the Son of Man will come in glory to consummate his kingdom.
The 12 sons of Jacob were the patriarchs of the tribes that formed their descendants which are called "Israelites" and "Hebrews". Hear how God deals with a wicked and murderous king of Egypt who tried to stop the Israelite nation from growing.

Discover how God can call us to many different things, often what we are not expecting. See how Samuel responded to God's call. As followers of Christ, we should listen to God for his call to service.
