PODCAST| The Passion

[Podcast]

By Pastor Vinnie & Jonathan Martin

Just in time for Easter week, we present the passion week of Jesus! Jon and Vinnie get deep into the historical Jesus and his last week before his crucifixion. Jesus in the passion week marched into Jerusalem with the populace declaring him King, but he refused to be crowned. Learn the lesson of the fig tree in the last week of Jesus’s life. The fig tree, the people, and the supper, all declare His truest passion for you!

The people has a passion to see Jesus crowned King in Jerusalem at the temple but Jesus had a greater passion. His passion was beyond human passion. His passion was His Father’s sole reason for sending Jesus into the world. His passion was for more they power, fame, and the recognition of the great crowds shouting Hosanna and they came over the Mount of Olives, and Jesus road the Donkey down the hill to the temple. As the disciples bask in the triumphal entry of Jesus they had no way of knowing of the great betrayal that would await them at the end of the week in the upper room with Jesus and Judas. Jesus would be king, but he would not be the kind of king they expected nor foresaw. For men seek power as a passion but Jesus sought our redemption as the only passion worth giving His life for.

Listen to this thrilling recount of the last week of Jesus before the cross.

I have come that they may have life, and have it in all its fullness (abundantly)“. Living life “in all its fullness” means both being incarnational and at the same time authentically human and having fun! He describes himself as a “Child of God. Husband. Daddy. Work in progress. Follower. Leader.
