“"you shall live and not die and you shall proclaim the works of the lord."”
Pastor Leslie teaches that God often meets us in ordinary life through people and circumstances — especially through community and hospitality — and warns that comparison, living in the past, hurry, and self-sufficiency can make us miss God. Using the Shunammite woman's encounter with the prophet as the central example, she explains that God names and meets deep longings (sometimes miraculously and despite our unbelief) and calls listeners to name their needs, return to community, and trust God's timing.
“I shall not die, but live; I shall live to declare the glory of God.”

“and what the stone that the builders refuse become chief of the corner”

“"Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord."”
Pastor Steve Wilburn's Palm Sunday message "His Plan" (John 11–12) explains how Jesus intentionally delays, demonstrates costly devotion, and receives public praise as part of God's redemptive purpose. Using Lazarus' resurrection, Mary's costly anointing, and the triumphal entry, he shows that God's timing displays glory, true worship costs, and public acclaim can be fleeting. The sermon issues a call to repentance, invites attenders to Good Friday and Easter services, and offers new-believer resources.
