FBC Richland: Who We Are (Week Thirteen)

Pastor Tim Walker

12The next day the large crowd that had come to the feast heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem.
13So they took branches of palm trees and went out to meet him, crying out, “Hosanna! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord, even the King of Israel!”
14And Jesus found a young donkey and sat on it, just as it is written,
15“Fear not, daughter of Zion; behold, your king is coming, sitting on a donkey’s colt!”
16His disciples did not understand these things at first, but when Jesus was glorified, then they remembered that these things had been written about him and had been done to him.
17The crowd that had been with him when he called Lazarus out of the tomb and raised him from the dead continued to bear witness.
18The reason why the crowd went to meet him was that they heard he had done this sign.
19So the Pharisees said to one another, “You see that you are gaining nothing. Look, the world has gone after him.”
20Now among those who went up to worship at the feast were some Greeks.
21So these came to Philip, who was from Bethsaida in Galilee, and asked him, “Sir, we wish to see Jesus.”
22Philip went and told Andrew; Andrew and Philip went and told Jesus.
23And Jesus answered them, “The hour has come for the Son of Man to be glorified.
24Truly, truly, I say to you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it remains alone; but if it dies, it bears much fruit.
25Whoever loves his life loses it, and whoever hates his life in this world will keep it for eternal life.
26If anyone serves me, he must follow me; and where I am, there will my servant be also. If anyone serves me, the Father will honor him.
27“Now is my soul troubled. And what shall I say? ‘Father, save me from this hour’? But for this purpose I have come to this hour.
28Father, glorify your name.” Then a voice came from heaven: “I have glorified it, and I will glorify it again.”
29The crowd that stood there and heard it said that it had thundered. Others said, “An angel has spoken to him.”
30Jesus answered, “This voice has come for your sake, not mine.
31Now is the judgment of this world; now will the ruler of this world be cast out.
32And I, when I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all people to myself.”
33He said this to show by what kind of death he was going to die.
34So the crowd answered him, “We have heard from the Law that the Christ remains forever. How can you say that the Son of Man must be lifted up? Who is this Son of Man?”
35So Jesus said to them, “The light is among you for a little while longer. Walk while you have the light, lest darkness overtake you. The one who walks in the darkness does not know where he is going.
36While you have the light, believe in the light, that you may become sons of light.” When Jesus had said these things, he departed and hid himself from them.
John 12:12-36 ESV

(Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Relevant, Time-based Goals)

The Christian life is designed to be transferred relationally and journeyed together.
“Rope in”– brother to brother and sister to sister – on a weekly basis so that together we can draw near to God and join him in his kingdom work.
This is an exploration – commit and prepare for a long and rewarding journey.
