Bethel Lutheran Church

How lovely is your dwelling place, O Lord of hosts! My soul longs, indeed it faints, for the courts of the Lord; my heart and my flesh sing for joy to the living God...Happy are those who live in your house, ever singing your praise. Psalm 84:1-2, 4

Simply the Sermon for March 24, 2024: God Uses Broken Things

There are two names for this impactful Sunday:  Palm Sunday and Passion Sunday - when we recall the events of the last week of Jesus' life beginning with Jesus' entrance into Jerusalem when the crowds waved palm branches and shouted "Hosanna to the Son of David" (Read Mark 11:1-11).  We then follow the events of the remainder of Holy Week with the reading of the Passion of Our Lord (Mark 14:1-15:47).  Pastor Russ notes a theme running throughout the long readings..."God Uses Broken Things" to do God's amazing work of redemption.
