In his first message of the series, ‘The Way of the Cross,’ Pastor Pat discusses the history and symbolism of the cross, how it represents victory not defeat, that the cross ...

In His last message of the month, Pastor Pat explores the Cross through the story of Jonah, and how saying ‘no’ to God will inevitably yield a storm that can only be calmed by surrendering to God’s will and living a life acknowledging the prayer of Jesus, ‘not my will, but your will be done.’

Pastor Pat paints a picture of how Jesus entered Jerusalem for the last time, providing historical detail and perspective, as he delivers his Palm Sunday message, asking us if we are resolute like Jesus, willing to keep the faith of the cross; or are we listening to the Peters in our lives trying to avoid God’s will?
