I'll Be Happy When... I've Done Enough
According to the ancient Catechism the purpose of life is to "glorify God and enjoy Him forever". One modern pastor has made a slight modification for clarity - we are to glorify God by enjoying Him forever. If both of these sources are on to something, it means that our relationship with God is to be marked by joy. God is most honored, praised and worshipped when we are filled with joy in Him.

This section of Philippians is meant to set us free from guilt-inducing, burden-producing spirituality into the joy of a God who delights in us out of sheer grace and underserved love.

All for One, & one for All
In the scripture this morning we see the Triumphant Entry into Jerusalem. We see the colt that had never been ridden; we see the crown throwing their garments in the way, cutting down palm limbs to throwing them in the way of the colt. They cried out Hosanna, a term of adoration. However in verse 10, once in the city of Jerusalem, others asked “Who is this?”

The Cost of Freedom: Sacrifice
Caleb was one of only two who proclaimed that God could bring His people into the promised land despite the strength of the people already there. Still, he had to wait 40 years, while the unbelieving generation wandered in the wilderness, before he could receive his reward.
