Beloved, This Sunday is Palm Sunday. Palm Sunday is a Christian moveable feast that falls on the Sunday before Easter. The feast commemorates Jesus' triumphal entry into Jerusalem, an event mentioned in all four canonical Gospels. In the accounts of the four canonical Gospels, Jesus' triumphal entry into Jerusalem takes place about a week before his Resurrection. The palm branch was a symbol of triumph and victory in the Greco-Roman culture of the Roman Empire, and became the most common attribute of the goddess Nike or Victory. |

Beloved, I want to challenge each of you to excite and invite someone to church and to Bible Study. Sometimes we are disingenuous and a little super spiritual about our motives for serving a risen Savior in Christ Jesus. So, often we hear, “Who would work for the Lord just to be recognized or rewarded in the church?” As if, it is wrong work for reward. The Bible says, “But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.” (Hebrews 11:6) I want to be pointed and plain that there is nothing wrong with serving the resurrected Christ because you know God is going to reward you. That is one of the driving principles in our faith. God gives new life in Jesus. God gives rewards. God gives crowns in the eternal. |

Beloved, Our Praying Priorities prayer push ended a few weeks ago. I pray that you were revived in your constant conversation with Christ. Prayer is indeed a pressing priority because it is through prayer that we know our Lord and grow closer to Him. We have assess and authority through the atoning work of Christ on the cross. So, let us utilize the privilege of prayer. God showed up and blessed our sincere supplication in prayer for economic, financial and employment opportunities by blessing five (5) Union members with new jobs. God is good! Let me press upon you to continue what we have started here at Union. Indeed, God has declared, “My House shall be called a house of prayer…” (Matthew 21:13) Union will be just what God intended if we keep his commands. Union, the Word of God has commanded that we pray without ceasing. Lift up your voices and call on the name above every name. Lift up your voice and ask and it shall be given. Lift up your voice as you seek and you shall find. Lift up your voice while you knock and it shall be opened unto you. There is power in your prayer. So, stay plugged into the power source of the church in our Savior through your prayers! Sincerely yours and Securely His, Pastor Darryl K. Fields |
