Palm Sunday Sermon Outline PDF Summary
You might think that a message board is an outdated form of advertising. However, these boards still have some value and allow churches to keep up with the competition. A message board is a great way for the congregation to get together and share thoughts throughout the week. This type of interaction will help the members of the church to learn more about the faith and what the upcoming week holds for them. A sermon is rarely given during the week that can be considered memorable. Sermons are usually short and go nowhere. The best way to ensure that your sermon will stay in people’s minds and memories for a long time is to deliver it at the right time. By using a message board to schedule a weekly sermon, you ensure that your message will be given at the perfect time of the week.

- Some consider Luke 19:10 as the key verse for the book
II. Coming with a Kingdom (vv.11-27)

B. A Kingdom that is not yet, and there is a “meantime”
