Because sin, it creates, it separates us from god. It creates that gap and so when Jesus came to Earth as a baby, god sent him to come to Earth as a baby and he grew up just like you and me and he went through struggles went through trials and he faced hard times in life but here's the difference between us and Jesus. Jesus never sinned. He never did anything wrong. He was perfect. He's the only one that's perfect and so and he came but he came to die on the cross for you and for me because he loves us that much. It's not something he had to do. [01:09:25] (43 seconds)  #PerfectSacrifice

They waved palm branches and they shouted, Hosanna, and Hosanna means save us. And they were so excited that Jesus was in town and they they made like a path and they were waving palm branches and they were so excited and some people, the Bible says that some people even took the clothes off of their backs and lay their clothes on the ground so that the donkey with Jesus could walk across their clothes and you know what? You know what I learned from this? These clothes that were on these people's backs is all they had. To them, that was their best. They knew that this is this is the Messiah. This is our king and I want to give him my very best even if it's a piece of clothing. [01:11:43] (55 seconds)  #SmallOfferBigFaith

Maybe you're here this morning and maybe you don't know this Jesus that we're talking about. Maybe you want to invite him into your heart. It is so easy to do, you guys. All you have to do, I told the kids last night, your ABCs, a, admit that you're a sinner. B, believe in your heart that he died on the cross for you, and c, confess with your mouth that he is lord. And if you've never done that, I want you to just raise your hand. If you've never asked Jesus into your heart, just raise your hand. I see you. I see you or maybe you have asked Jesus into your heart but you've slipped away. You've allowed sin to overtake you. You've allowed sin back into your life and today, you just wanna rededicate your life back to Jesus. Raise your hand. We wanna pray with you. I see you. I see you. [01:20:15] (55 seconds)  #ABCsOfSalvation

Now, if you raise your hand, you've never asked Jesus into your heart or you wanna rededicate your life back to Jesus, I'm gonna ask you to do one more thing and that's to be big and brave and bold and just come right up here in the front so we can pray. Yes. Come on. Come on. Stand right here. Stand right here in front of me. Adults, you guys too. If you raise your hand, you've never asked Jesus into your heart. Don't be ashamed. This isn't just for kids. Jesus died for all of us. [01:22:08] (35 seconds)  #ComeForwardBoldly

So, yeah, Jesus, he died on the cross and then three days later, he was resurrected. He rose from the grave and he lives inside of each and every one of us. You know, if when once we invite him into our hearts, but he loves you so much. So, because god gave his very very best for us, what do you think we should do in return? Give our very best. But what does that look like to you? How do we give God our very best? What are some ways we can give God our very best? Get rid of some stuff that's really important. Maybe that's distracting you from time with god. Right? That's you're putting things above god. So, maybe get rid of those things so you can put god first. Very good. What are some other ways we can give our best to god? [01:16:02] (61 seconds)  #PutGodFirstDaily

you see, god gave us his best. Jesus was coming in and what the people didn't understand, he was coming to die for you and for me. He came to die for us so that we can be set free from our sins, from all everything that we deal with in life. Right? God gave us his best when he sent Jesus and Jesus gave us his best when he gave his life for us and so Easter, you know, we're celebrating next week and we're celebrating. Do you guys know why we celebrate Easter? No? Who knows why we celebrate Easter? Who knows? Help her out. Yep. It is Easter day, but what are we celebrating?
