An Invitation to Hang Up Your Burdens
Excerpts from sermons to be delivered around Orange County on Sunday:
PRAISE AND REJECTION: “Palm Sunday reminds us of that wonderfully ardent reception our Lord received upon his arrival in Jerusalem. The very same week he would later be betrayed, arrested, tried and crucified. How could the emotions of praise turn so quickly to such horrible rejection and violent death?”
--Minister David Bearden, speaking at 8 and 10:15 a.m. services at Sunny Hills Church of Christ, 2255 N. Euclid St., Fullerton. (714) 525-1221.

AN INVITATION: “Everyone receives invitations to barbecues and birthday parties, graduations and sometimes jury duty. Some are our choice and others are mandated. The invitation we’re going to talk about is what you can hang on the cross: your burdens, your shame, your sins.”
--Pastor George McElroy, speaking at 9 and 10:45 a.m. and 5:15 p.m. services at Mission Viejo Christian Church, 27192 Jeronimo Road, Mission Viejo. (949) 768-0209
The Message highlights excerpts from sermons to be delivered in Orange County houses of worship in the coming week. Submissions should be delivered by noon each Thursday to Orange County religion editor Jack Robinson.
