Today, as we countdown to Easter on this Palm Sunday we continue our series called, Questions from a Carpenter. We are exploring some important questions that were asked by Jesus in the pages of Scripture. We have already found out that Jesus sure does ask good questions! His questions can change our lives. This third installment of the series drops us into the longest conversation that Jesus ever has about human emotion. It is fascinating to consider the emotion He chose to spend the most time talking about. But it is even more amazing that tucked into the conversation Jesus asks, not one, not two, not even three … no – He asks EIGHT questions! Those are the questions we explore and learn from this morning. Get ready, it will be fun.

We are in a series about making Preemptive Strikes in our life! Today we talk about a very important and telling pre-choice.
Generosity is more than just spontaneous giving; it’s a mindset that begins with a pre-choice to be a blessing. If you are willing, you will find some ways to cultivate a heart of generosity, become a philanthropist in spirit, and live in such a way that our lives pour out love, kindness, and resources to those around us.

Preemptive Strike continues this week. We are discovering the power of our choices, in particular our pre-choices! Loyalty isn’t forged in the moment; it’s a decision made long before. In this study, we’ll explore the power of being steadfast and loyal to God, to others, and to the values we hold dear. If we would learn to do this preemptive strike – our lives would be radically better, different, and we would find great joy in the adventure.

Preemptive Strike is the name of this new series here at The Church @ 434. It is designed to help each of us explore the power of making intentional pre-choices that shape our lives. We’ll discover how committing to key principles in advance gives us the strength to face life’s challenges and uncertainties. By pre-deciding our values, we become proactive in our faith journey, living with purpose and resilience. The opening message sets the stage for understanding why making pre-choices matters.

Pastor Jeff Dixon made it through 9am but was not feeling well enough to continue at 11, so Chris Whaley stepped in at short notice with this look at David vs Goliath.
