As the OT Scriptures predicted of Him, \u201cHe was led like a lamb to the slaughter; and as a sheep is silent before its shearers, He did not open His mouth.\u201d But this month, we\u2019re going to discover Jesus was anything but passive at key moments during Holy Week.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ve entitled this month\u2019s sermon series, \u201cWatch the Lamb.\u201d Why not join us this Sunday as we kick off this series with a message entitled, \u201cWatch the Lamb Clean House?\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It\u2019s to be expected that when churches enter the Easter season, they trumpet the Joy of Jesus\u2019 Resurrection.
