Introduction
Sometimes you may feel like your life has been like that too. Feel like time has been wasted and you’ve passed your time of usefulness.
BIG IDEA: UNTIE YOUR HEART, UNTIE YOUR PURPOSE
What is Palm Sunday?
Luke 19:28-38 NIV
If we’re honest, we’ve been tied up by things that have caused unnecessary trauma.
Your timing isn’t the same as God’s timing, but if you stay open to God’s leading, if you stay ready your time will come.
3 Things That Can Keep Us Tied Up
1. Failures
Psalms 103:12 NKJV
2. Fame
Nearly all men can stand adversity, but if you want to test a man's character, give him power. - Abraham Lincoln
Jesus could have let the shouts of the people get to him.
3. Focus
Just because you feel a certain way doesn't mean you should act on it.
We Waste Time Being Tied By Our Feelings Instead Of Being Freed By Our Focus.
Galatians 6:9 NKJV
Have you ever compromised what you were supposed to do because of other’s expectations?
Some of us here right now may have gone into debt, gone for degrees, lost business deals, chosen careers because of the expectation of others for us.
You have a greater use than man-made manipulated success.
Next Step
Reflect on scriptures detailing events leading to the crucifixion (bit.ly/colcevents)
