Examined

INTRO: It if was not for pastor Boehlig, I would be continuing the subject of forgiveness this morning. He asked me if my text had to do with Palm Sunday, and I realized I had forgotten that this is Palm Sunday.

So, I want to ask you how many of you know what a message called 'Fourbeereetung' is? It is preached in the conservative churches the Sunday before communion. It is a message that is to cause the people to prepare themselves for communion. In a sense, that may be a good idea. I have always shied away from that because it might give the idea that you can live in wrongdoing until just before communion. But, this message this morning is a 'Fourbeereetung' message.
