Краткое содержание
Богослужение начинается в Вербное воскресенье с воспоминания о том, как Иисус въезжал в Иерусалим, а толпа стелила одежды и пальмовые ветви и восклицала: "Благословен Царь, грядущий во имя Господне" и "Осанна - спаси нас". Но даже посреди праздника Иисус плакал о городе, потому что тот не узнал времени своего посещения. Проповедник обращает это в призыв: впусти Христа в "Иерусалим" собственного сердца.
Сердцевина вести - радость. Это небесная радость, которая не зависит от обстоятельств, а проистекает из веры в Иисуса. Опираясь на Неемию ("радость пред Господом - сила ваша"), послания к Филиппийцам и Римлянам, проповедник показывает, что радость и вера идут рука об руку, а сама вера рождается из Слова Божьего. Когда верующие собираются вместе и соединяют свою веру, радость умножается, словно множество факелов сливаются в один большой костер.
Затем звучат примеры: Павел и Сила, поющие в темнице в полночь; ученики в Антиохии, исполненные радости и Святого Духа даже среди гонений; Давид, молящийся: "Возврати мне радость спасения Твоего". Призыв в конце - ежедневно искать Господа, позволить Иисусу быть центром жизни, а не Тем, Кого держат на расстоянии, и унести Его радость домой. Свидетельства молящегося в дороге дальнобойщика, исцеления, миссионера, отправляющегося в лагерь беженцев, и пастора, спасенного от смерти, скрепляют эту проповедь.
Главные мысли
- Подлинная радость - небесная: она сходит от Бога и пребывает на принявших Христа, а не на обстоятельствах.
- Радость и вера неразлучны - где живая вера, там и радость, а вера растет из Слова Божьего.
- Когда верующие собираются и объединяют свою веру, радость умножается, как множество огней сливаются в один костер.
- Павел и Сила показывают, что хвала может звучать даже в ночной темнице, и Бог отвечает на нее.
- Как и Давид, когда радость угасает, через покаяние и молитву нужно восстановить именно веру.
- Не позволяй Иисусу лишь кружить вокруг твоей жизни - впусти Его в сердце, семью и церковь как их центр.
- Ищи Господа каждый день в молитве и Писании, а не только когда приходит беда или болезнь.
Размышление
Радость Господня - не хрупкое настроение, которое могут украсть дневные заботы; это ровный огонь, зажженный верой в Иисуса. Когда этот огонь будто тускнеет, ответ не в погоне за новыми чувствами, а в возвращении к Его Слову, чтобы вера снова окрепла. Как Давид, ты можешь молиться: "Возврати мне радость спасения Твоего", - и довериться, что Бог слышит. Распахни сегодня двери сердца и позволь Христу войти до конца, а не пройти мимо.
Радость пред Господом - сила ваша, и эта радость рождается из веры.
Не дай Иисусу кружить вокруг сердца - впусти Его внутрь.
Соедини все огни вместе - и вспыхнет один большой костер радости.

protection of I mean [Music] [Music] let's all say praise the Lord today is a celebration Jerusalem of Jesus entering Jerusalem we heard Luke chapter 19 verses 37 and 38. we saw that the people they were crowning Jesus as king he is the true king and then in a few days when he was hanging on the cross above his head they wrote Jesus king of the Jews even though Jesus never said he was the king the people that were filled with God said those things and then they talked to pilate they said why did you write these things say that he said that but pilate said what I wrote is what I wrote it was 90 degrees and you know everyone got touched by the celebration they all gathered for the Feast of the Passover the prophet he wrote about this in chapter 9 verse 9. foreign we see that God was hinting about this day foreign [Music] they told Jesus the Pharisees said tell them to stop make them stop so they would not glorify you but Jesus said if they all be quiet then the rocks will begin to sing out yes church if we stop glorifying God others will glorify God and He will always be glorified [Music] and God was waiting for this day that his people would glorify his name is [Music] and in Matthew chapter 21 verse 10 he says that the whole city was stirred and they were asking who is this we have never seen one like this as I said they were proclaiming Jesus as king who has come from God [Music] and all of a sudden in this day they received God's joy and rejoicing God began to fill those hearts that have come to Jerusalem for this Feast of the Passover and the people they praised Jesus Christ [Music] and it was with a very loud voice it said there was loud rejoicing in Jerusalem they were not whispering they were screaming Hosanna it means save us save us Asana Hosanna yeah [Music] and I want for the same song to be in our hearts others were taking off their clothes and these were clothes of a feast they were very nice clothes [Music] they took off this very nice clothes like us today we dress very nice this Sunday they took off this nice clothes and they laid it before the donkey on which Jesus was writing Italian others would cut down these Palm leaves and they placed it before him glorifying the king of kings and they talked in a loud voice about these Miracles that Jesus was doing about Lazarus who was laying in the Tomb for four days that Jesus rose from the dead let us all stand right now let's praise God let's praise God very loudly let's open our mouths and we'll say God we glorify we as a church we praise We Lift Your Name on High the name that is above all other names may you be glorified in all all generations in this church and in this place we bow down before you yeah if we had the opportunity we would take off our clothes and we would bow down before you move but today we thank you and we lift you up our savior we tell you Hosanna we tell you hallelujah thank you Jesus you were crucified for us and you bought us with your blood and in this celebration with our mouths all praise be to you Jesus amen may take your seats what was this Joy brothers and sisters from where did it come and can we have this Joy today and can we have that same Joy today one American sister was in a service and tears were running down her Cheeks is and another sister comes up and she says sister Eve you need to rejoice and she told her she said I am these are tears of joy yeah and I want to preach about this Joy today this Joy came from the heavens it is Heavenly Joy yes all of Jerusalem was stirred up did everyone Rejoice but those that have received him in some sort of way the joy touched them and we might have come here with sorrow you know we're on this Earth and you know how it is on this Earth and our hearts might be weighed down with different things different circumstances but today is a celebration of Joy brothers and sisters and in the time of Nehemiah they heard this announcement Rejoice because Joy before the Lord is your strength The Joy before the Lord is our strength brothers and sisters I mean amen it is the Bible it is the word of God hallelujah praise God praise God what was this Joy brothers and sisters let's read Philippians chapter 1 verse 25. very convinced of this I know Paul says that I will remain and I will continue with all of you for your progress and joy in the faith let's all say joy in the faith joy in the faith and Romans chapter 15 verse 13. foreign [Music] so thanks to True faith in Jesus Christ every one of us we can have this Great Mighty Joy To The Lord amen amen through faith chirisville through faith comes the joy of the Lord hallelujah hallelujah and especially when we gather together to share in this faith that we all share you might have faith and I might have faith we all have this faith and we join together in faith in Jesus Christ then our joy is Multiplied more and more it is a very special Joy like a celebration and we do not want to leave have you ever experienced something like this is because it is peaceful to be together with the Lord and with one another foreign and it is one thing to have joy in yourself and everyone should have this Joy within themselves but it is a completely different thing to gather together like we are gathered here today like they gathered in Jerusalem um in Romans chapter 1 verse 10 to 12 we read is look how much Apostle Paul wanted me to be in that service in Rome is and he had this desire like David to be in the house of the Lord with the Believers ES in my prayers at all times and I pray that now At Last by God's will the way may be opened for me to come to you is I long to see you so that I may impart to you some spiritual gift to make you strong that is that you and I may be mutually encouraged by each other's faith is imagine you are carrying a torch and if we gather everyone's torches together it will not be a small fire but it will be a great great bonfires so when we gather together and we all bring our joy This Joy is Multiplied and Apostle Paul within him he always had this Joy Nam because he said God gives us that we may constantly rejoice in Christ Jesus so he always had a celebration in his heart which is him he tells the Believers rejoice and again I say rejoice for the Lord is near hallelujah hallelujah turn to your neighbor and say rejoice and in response say and you rejoice for the Lord praise be to him praise to him and when we gather together foreign and Apostle Paul said when he came to a church this Mutual faith is a great great thing above many other things and what's interesting is when we speak and when we preach about the Lord is and this Joy it starts to come into our hearts from the Holy Spirit and it begins to flow like many Waters and we have this this desire to pray together and to praise His holy name together even when we go through many trials and persecutions we can Rejoice with the Holy Spirit and some say how do I Rejoice I'm going through so many dramas so many difficulties but if we read about Apostle Paul all the things he went through they hit him with six and not one time one time they stoned him that he was like he was dead just of God many times he was hungry he was hot he didn't he was thirsty he did not have enough sleep but within him he had the fire of the joy of Heaven but why because he trusts in the Lord is [Music] and even when they beat him and his partner Silas and they threw him in the dungeon and they chained up their legs that they could not even go to the bathroom they could not even drink some water to the sum of anises and all of a sudden at midnight when they were in the lowest the darkest place you could hear the praise the songs of praise come from this place Hallelujah Hosanna Hosanna Hallelujah they were praising the Lord and all of a sudden this prison was shaken it was nice and all of a sudden the head guard the warden you know he's supposed to be all tough all strong but all of a sudden his faith turned to the Lord he began to wash all the bruises and all the cuts of Paul and Silas first he's all angry and he says beat them and chain them up but then all of a sudden he's telling them sorry things away and in his heart in his heart and all of his household came great joy but because they believed in Jesus School in Acts chapter 13 Paul alongside with Barnabas came to Antioch foreign and you know on the next weekend almost in a week almost the whole city was gathered there is and I want to say when we preach when we sing when we praise through faith the name of Jesus that touches hearts and then the joy comes and then an antiox persecution started and then when the persecution started the disciples were thinking maybe we're going to be next maybe they're going to come for us but no Paul all and Barnabas had to go on to other places and in that place in Antioch the word of God stayed where was it it was in the hearts of people the faith stayed there it is and in Chapter 13 of Acts verse 52 the last verse it says and the disciples were filled with the joy and with the Holy Spirit Paul and Barnabas went on further and they had faith and as much as they had Faith they were filled with Joyce is so the same way the joy that comes from the Lord it does not matter the circumstances around you it matters your faith in the Lord the one that is within us and I want us to go home after this service to go home with joy there's one verse that says our joy is made full from Christ not from people and nothing in the whole universe can take take away this Joy praise be to God but if Satan destroys our faith then he destroys our joy the joy of the Lord within us because the joy of the Lord and faith in the Lord they go hand in hand with one another they go like this hand in hand with one another you know I'm faith and he is Joy or the other way around and it's that's how they walk like maybe friends are like or like a pair they walk together the joy is all comes from the faith the joy comes from your faith and our faith comes from the word of God so today by faith receive the word of God and you will see the glory of the Lord and you will see the joy of Heaven hallelujah hallelujah because and in Psalms chapter 51 verse 12 David says these words it says restore unto me the joy of your salvation thank you David says restored that means he had lost it David the one that rejoiced always but the other one was the king in the Bible and he lost his Joy of his salvation sorry and what exactly was King David asking foreign what exactly was he asking for he wasn't asking for some emotions for God to give him he knew that the joy was with him wherever he had Faith but all of a sudden when he slipped and he fell his faith was almost shattered so he wanted his faith to be restored and when God restored his faith through his repentance through his prayer that's when the joy of Salvation came hallelujah hallelujah praise God foreign and it is a big tragedy that today many of many lamps are burning out so in the same way God's joy is burning out and people are looking and they're like why is this happening or why is that happening and nobody's looking unto the Lord but the joy of the Lord comes from the Lord Jesus through faith in him amen amen one time Jesus said to his disciples Rejoice that your names are written in the Book of Life and if they receive this word then they began to Rejoice Vera Faith joy in faith in Living Faith through the Living Word the Holy Spirit begins begins to give Jews and life happens how much we need this that Jesus Christ gives that our lamps would burn now we enjoyed the Living Word of God today and the Holy Spirit so that we would rejoice in the Lord our Jesus Christ is and one time as we were remembering today Jesus went into Jerusalem he did not circle around it or walk around it he went into Jerusalem into the temple how about our lives did he come into our hearts or is he circling around it did he come into our family what circumstance are we in today there's so many difficulties and financial troubles and and health-wise their sicknesses well of course everyone has this is but my prayer today to the Lord with you today Church is that we would open up our hearts to him in faith and he would come in if there's something wrong there he's gonna kick it out he's not gonna leave it and bargain with it so that we would Rejoice so that we would have this Joy whatever I see there's some truckers that might not be here some people some people come like Andre he's able to be with us today please come to the front foreign do you have do you have joy when you're far away from your family you're driving you're not not close when he comes home he is so joyful slices [Laughter] he said when he is driving he's listening to sermons he's praying and he's doing his job he just has so much joy because he knows his Joy is from the Lord it is not from his job that he has to do hallelujah hallelujah it's whether if we drive on a truck or if we're at home if Jesus is living in our hearts even when we are suffering maybe we'll have tears but they will turn to tears of joy through Jesus and I want today we'll be praying right now just how real Jesus walked into Jerusalem and into the temple circle of church I want him to enter our church enter our hearts and to our families with this new power and this Joy of galatio just as he walked into Samaria and took Galilee and to other places of the world he wants to live and you are in my heart he came to this world to live in your in my heart not to circle around them he wants to be the center of our lives so it will be filled with the joy of the Holy Spirit if you believe this say amen I mean I'm just not with your head say Amen learn how to say Amen the Lord wants to live in our hearts through faith very you know Joy through faith yes if you don't have enough Joy begin to read the word of God search for the Lord begin to pray earnestly don't just say your prayers say Amen go to bed no seek after the Lord foreign not only when you become sick or sickness happens then you go to search for the Lord no that is good but you must always seek foreign who else should I invite today can we have sister come up to the front to share in her faith because it is our faith together this is a miracle that happened thanks to the Lord and faith in the Lord um [Music] [Music] the doctors didn't know what to say in the early stages of pregnancy they did they didn't know what was wrong but all she had was faith in the Lord that was the only one she had faith in and now he's standing here before us today is and it says judge yourselves Apostle Paul says do you have faith and then you will have joy and Jesus says I want for my joy to be in you so that I would be fulfilled amen let's all stand to our feet and pray she is you know when we praise God when we pray to him he comes into our hearts the Holy Spirit fills us and imagine we are on that celebration it is written that in a loud manner they all praised Jesus that is the place where we must praise God yes foreign and if you need prayer

and it's such an amazing opportunity for me to be able to minister to you thank you Pastor and everyone else who participates in this service to serve us and today I wanted to share a little word with you that's been on my heart for the past few weeks and I want to base the sermon around a verse in Ephesians chapter 2 verse 1. chapter 2 verse and it said as for you he made alive who were dead in trespasses and since yeah I really like that translation in English and it says and you he made alive a new King James version it says he made us alive not that we were just dead but we came back to life because we were all dead in our sins and the biggest Miracles that we came back to life you know Jesus when he was on this Earth he talked a lot about Resurrection you know even Lazarus he brought back from the dead Jesus came back from the dead but us we were all also resurrected back to life we were not like Jesus or Lazarus it was not physical Resurrection but we had this spiritual Resurrection because we were all made in the image of God we were all made to be to be alive spiritually but then we we were dead in our sins and our transgressions we died because of those things but Jesus he made us alive and I want to talk a little bit about that joy that we have today you know the same joy that Pastor talked about you know in John chapter 12 verse 12 to 13. you know it says the next day a great multitude that had come to the feast when they heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem they took branches of palm trees and went out to meet him and cried out Hosanna blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord king of Israel is you know why they were rejoicing so much because this is the king of Israel he is the one that was bringing Israel back to life he was the one that could Restore Life they were rejoicing because they saw the miracle where he brought Lazarus back to life and they knew he could bring them back to life they were not thinking the same way as he was they were not thinking spiritually but that is what Jesus wanted he came that day to bring he brought that life for every single one of us and sometimes we struggle and sometimes we fall and sometimes it feels like we might have even lost this life but Jesus is always there he is always there to give life because we know right after this took place right after he triumphantly entered the city after that he was beaten he was crucified he died he died on the cross for hours for our sins and our transgressions and he poured out his blood for us he gave his life for us so that we would be made alive in him and that was the great Victory when he when he rose from the dead he overcame death and sin that's when all of Heaven Was rejoicing just a week before all the Earth all Jerusalem was rejoicing but then he overcame Death and All Of Heaven Was Rejoice because he gave us power he brought brought us back to life through his blood our sins and our transgressions the things that we were once dead it no longer had a hold over us it no longer had power over us because he brought us back to life you know I want to tell you a story Swami and I want to tell you a saying an American saying before I tell you the story it's the grass is always greener on the other side and you know yesterday we had the church clean up so on our side today the grass is very green is shout out to Parkland but I want to talk about the Americans saying the grass is greener on the other side because that means always when you look at other things other circumstances it always looks better than what you have that is and you always think you don't have as much as other people have and there's a story about a pilot and he would fly in many places and him and his co-pilot would always fly over one certain Mountain co-pilot uh and they flew over this mountain one time a second time a third time and then after a few times this co-pilot noticed this pilot would always look down to the bottom of the mountains his co-pilot looked at the other pilot and saw the other pilot always looked in one spot yeah and he asked him he's like why do you always look down there what's so important about that one versus the other Mouse and this pilot said he said you know I used to be down there as a little kid okay he said I would always sit on that log and I would be fishing in that River yes and he said every time when I was a child I would see a plane flying by very high over myself and I would always look up and I would just I would just want to be that pilot in that plane I just wanted to fly that plane but he says now that I'm in the plane above looking down he said I just want to be back down there on that log of fishing for fish and that's how we are in our lives we are waiting for something to come to our lives and we are striving we're working for it and then when we finally get to this place sometimes we look back and we realize it was so much better back then it was so good back then and you know I heard somebody say this before yeah it is so amazing to be a child but you don't realize it when you're a child you know when a child playing soccer is the most fun thing in the world or maybe having sleepovers with your friends that's so fun for you but then when we do it as adults it's not so much fun anymore you know and they said you know why this is it's not because playing soccer is so fun it's because when you're a child and you're playing soccer football all you think about is having fun with your friends there's only two things you have to two rules you have to follow as a child you must listen to your parents and always have fun that's all you have to do as a child that's all you have to those are the only two rules but then when you're an adult playing soccer football you must think about your job what you're doing the next day you must think about your family your responsibility where you're going to go eat after soccer how much it's going to cost you have all these different things going on in your head and that's why it's not so much fun but the child just wants to be the parent that can do whatever they want them when they're in control they can drive a car go any place but then as parents they look back and they just want want to go back to being that child that has no responsibility and a lot of times we think the grass is always greener on the other side but we don't realize that we're living in the good time we look at others and we judge their lives we look at our lives through their perspective because but sometimes you just need to stop and enjoy what we have we shouldn't judge others we should enjoy this life that Jesus has given us we shouldn't look at all the mistakes others are making we just have to live in the moment for ourselves live with our lives that Jesus has given us somebody once said I wish I knew I was living in the good old days before I have left them because we look back at our lives and we think those were the good old days but we don't realize right now we're living in the good old days because in 10 years we're going to be looking back at our lives and we're going to be saying oh how I wanted to go back and enjoy those days so much but when we were living in those days we spent too much time looking at what others were doing we need to to look at our lives it's just us and Jesus and take this life that he has given us and use it for his glory he is because you never know what other people are are going through you cannot judge other people you know many times all they need is a little bit Jesus and their lives will turn around and you will we will all Rejoice together just like the people of in Jerusalem not all of their lives were perfect but when Jesus made the triumphant they were all standing together bow down before him praising his name and you know I want to show you a little example and it's going to be an example about our lives and other people's lives it's going to be about how we live and I'm gonna need Peter here to help me yes yes we have two lighters right here Peter has one and I have one and these lighters are people can you light your lighter oh oh and when you light your lighters you see they're on fire they're burning for the Lord but then what happens is one of the lighters it starts to certain circumstances start to happen in their lives sometimes things that we don't see you know they might have some financial problems they might have some problems with their health with their families they might have fallen into an addiction or a sin that they don't want anyone else to know about and all of a sudden they fall dead in their sins and trespasses and then all of a sudden they can't light anymore and that's all we see is that this person is not on fire but no matter how hard they try they cannot count because of all these circumstances all of the difficulties in their life but we don't realize the solutions yeah and the solution is this person just has to come to someone that's on fire they had to get close and they had to feel their fire and then they catch this flame and they catch on fire for Jesus and their fire begins to burn brighter and brighter every day and then all these circumstances they went through they don't matter no more boys because these people are on fire first and in John 12 verse 46 Jesus says I have come as a light into the world that whoever believes and me should not abide in darkness Jesus is that light when we have this fire it is because of Jesus it's because Jesus has made us alive because he was the original one that led us on fire when we were made in His image he put this light but then this darkness comes into our eyes with certain sins some attacks from the enemy and we can't control our circumstances and then we're not able to light ourselves but then all we have to do we have to come together with someone so today brothers and sisters I want to tell you if your life if you're the one that fell into the circumstances where your light is dim or it's even out or maybe you don't have any more of this Joy your faith is fading away I want to tell you there's an easy solution you come to someone close come to Jesus foreign and and if you're the one that's on fire right now if you have this light in your heart right now don't judge others you don't know how they got in the circumstances you don't know what might have happened in their life you may look at their life and you may think it's so much worse than yours if this motive now you can use but you never know what they went through and all they need is they just need someone with this light of Jesus to come close to them and they will be a light together and they will burn brighter and brighter and just like Pastor said This Joy when it's gathered together it is Multiplied when these torches held together they all burn brighter and brighter so us as Christians when we have the light of Jesus get together we just shine we just shine brighter and brighter until the day when Jesus comes triumphantly yeah and then we will all stand together and our light and his light shining for all the world to see for all the world to see his glory and praise and glorify his name so today let's pray so that we don't judge others on their circumstances so we don't get envious of them if we think they have a better life or if they look like they're in a worse situation so we don't forget that there might have been circumstances they went through videos but most importantly if we're the ones going through the circumstance and we lost our spot so that we would come back close to him so that he would spark our lives so they would catch fire for him be filled with the Holy Spirit be filled with his faith and joy Napoleon and we would be made alive in him [Applause] so Jesus we just come before you and we praise you and we just glorify your holy mighty name because you are worthy and you are glorious and we just ask that today Jesus as we remember your glory as we remember your triumphal entry into Jerusalem that we would just receive your light so that you are giving us Jesus that we would receive receive it into our hearts Jesus that our Flames would burn brighter and brighter from this day forward each and every day that we would be this light to the world that our church here standing together we would use our light to go around to this world and catch other people on fire for you Jesus so that our light would shine into the light of others our light would shine into this city of Tarpon Springs into our state of Florida into the whole world God our light would just shine to people so they would see your glory they would see your majesty and all people together would stand and Bow Down and Worship You singing Hosanna blessed are you Lord Jesus for you are glorious you are Mighty Jesus and we just praise and glorify your holy mighty name you deserve all of our Glory we lift our voices and we praise you in Jesus mighty name we pray amen amen amen dear Church foreign I mean amen amen you may take your seats right now we will have our second offering is was mentioned
