03-28-2013 Holy Thursday- Pastor Mark Rossington

Holy Thursday, or Maundy Thursday, is the celebration of the day where Jesus celebrated the Passover meal with his disciples, instituted communion, and was also his last supper before he was arrested and later crucified. Before Jesus celebrated Passover, as per Jewish custom for all Jewish people, he would have to have certain things for the meal to take place. That was when he saw the Temple and it being turned into a marketplace and not into a place of worship, and that's when we see him flip tables in disgust of what it was turned into. It was a place of worship to God and was sacred ground and it was turned into a place of money and greed. Pastor Mark uses that as a basis for his sermon and goes into more detail about the events and significance of the event, and how it related to us. The sermon that starts things off for Holy Week can be found right here.
