3 So they took branches of palm trees and went out to meet him, crying, Hosanna! Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord, even the King of Israel! John 12:13 WELCOME! Hosanna in the highest! That Ancient Song we sing! For Christ is our Redeemer, the Lord of Heaven, our King, O may we ever praise Him with heart and life and voice, And in His blissful presence eternally rejoice.

ABOUT OUR MESSAGES The second part of Acts comes to a close with the story of King Herod in Acts 12:1-24. Though it can appear that earthly powers are getting the best of God, at the end of the day, His Word continues to grow and, in this story, we see clearly The Gory End of a Glory Thief.
