Rolex and Timex
A girl was visiting her friend who had acquired two new dogs, and asked her what their names were. The friend responded by saying that one was named Rolex and one was named Timex.
Her friend said, "Whoever heard of someone naming dogs like that?"
"Helloooooooooooooo," answered the girl. "They're watch dogs!"
THIS IS THE CONCLUSION OF SUNDAY’S SERMON….
IN THE CROWD OF PEOPLE ON PALM SUNDAY ON THE DAY JESUS RODE INTO TOWN…..
· THERE WERE THE CURIOUS ON LOOKERS…
· THERE WERE THOSE WHO WERE EXCITED TO SEE A PARADE
· THERE WERE THOSE CAUGHT UP IN THE MOMENT
· THOSE WHO WERE ANGRY THAT JESUS WAS HERALDED AS KING
· THERE WERE THOSE WHO WERE HOPEFUL THE ROMANS WOULD BE OVER THROWN
· THERE WERE THOSE WHO WERE LOOKING TO GAIN SOMETHING FROM THE PRONOUNCEMENTS
· THEN THERE WERE THOSE WHO TRULY BELIEVED WHAT WAS BEING SAID AND LOOKING FORWARD TO THE KINGDOM OF GOD… IN THE MESSIAH KING….REDEEMER..LORD SENT FROM THE FATHER
THE QUESTION I HAVE FOR YOU IS WHERE ARE YOU IN THIS LIST OF FOLK AT THE PARADE!?!?!
I AM LOOKING FORWARD TO SEEING YOU ALL IN WORSHIP SUNDAY….LET’S WORSHIP THE LIVING LORD…TOGETHER!!
GOD BLESS YOU….ALL
EMILE
