"Are You the One?" Lyrics and Music written and performed by Rev Melanie Wilkinson, Pastor at Christ's Promise UCC.
Sermon: " When the Crown Stopped Cheering" by Pastor Mel Scriptures: Zechariah 9:9-12 and John 12:12-18 They shouted "Hosanna!!! Blessed be the name of the Lord." Who was in the crowd that cheered Hosanna? And were they the same people who cheered and later that week shouted, "Crucify Him!" Are we as Christians inconsistent? Unpredictable... even fickle? Are we afraid of standing up for who and what we believe? 3/24/24
