PALM SUNDAY

Palm Sunday commemorates the Triumphal Entry: the day Jesus entered Jerusalem riding on a donkey. You can find this event in all four Gospels (Matthew 21:1-11, Mark 11:1-10, Luke 19:28-38, and John 12:12-18). Jesus came to Jerusalem from Bethany, where He had raised Lazarus from the dead. As Jesus rode into the city, people came out to meet Him with palm branches, shouting: “Hosanna! Blessed is he that comes in the Name of the Lord, the King of Israel!” At the peak of His popularity, Jesus was also at the peak of conflict with the religious leaders in Jerusalem, who saw Him as a threat to Jewish peace with Rome.

The word hosanna is an expression of adoration that means “Pray, save us!” This phrase is quoted by David in Psalm 118:25: “LORD, save us! LORD, grant us success!”

Jesus came into Jerusalem as a king—triumphal and messianic. But He also came in humility, riding on a donkey’s colt. He came celebrated by people whose loyalty was inconsistent at best. In just a few days they would reject Him, yet He still came... in the name and authority of the Lord. This juxtaposition of authority and humility was unique to Jesus’ personhood and ministry; He is strong enough to save and selfless enough to do it.

It is no coincidence that David’s second line after ‘hosanna’ was ‘blessed is the one who comes in the name of the Lord.’ ” (Psalm 118:26)

TODAY’S READING: LUKE 19:28-42, ZEC. 9:9

What emotions does the Triumphal Entry bring up?

How do you feel about this passage? “Hosanna” is both a cry of adoration and a cry for help.

What is your “hosanna” today? Jesus’ kingship is often forgotten in democratic society.

Why does it matter so much?

How would you explain the significance of Palm Sunday to someone else?

Join us for a heartfelt sermon that uplifts and inspires, titled 'Don't Bring Me Down: Bible-Approved Fun.' In this episode, we explore the boundless joy of the Lord and how our happiness isn't dictated by our circumstances. Drawing wisdom from Psalm 104 and 1 Thessalonians 4:1, we delve into God's desire for our happiness, emphasizing that joy, rest, and community are divine gifts not to be ignored. Discover why fun isn't just an optional extra, but a vital part of our salvation experience. Let's shout for joy, as encouraged by Psalms 25, and learn to embrace the joyful normal God intends for us. Tune in to be reminded that our greatest joy comes from a source that never changes, no matter what life throws our way.

What is impossible with men is possible with God. Luke 18:27 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

If you're feeling lonely today, we've got good news!

God is always with you.

You've got a spiritual family that cares about you.

Come to church and your spirits will be lifted!

Read this and take a deep breath.

⁠

We were never meant to have it all figured out.⁠

⁠

That means you’re not supposed to know everything in advance or create the perfect plan.⁠

⁠

God created us for dependency. And regardless of how capable we think we are at the time, we have to put our pride aside and slow down long enough to take our burdens (and our plans) to the cross in prayer.⁠

⁠

Even if we think we know the answer.⁠

⁠

Even if we think we’re smart enough.⁠

⁠

Even if we think we can do it alone.⁠

⁠

Because when we place too much faith in our own abilities to fix, we’re like a plant grown in shallow soil.⁠

⁠

Our solutions may spring up fast but they’ll die just as quickly.⁠

⁠

However, when we get our direction from the Lord, we’re like a tree planted by water. Even when the droughts come, we’ll still bloom.⁠

⁠

Make going to God in prayer your first priority - not your last resort.
