Holy Week - Palm Sunday

Jesus didn't come to meet our expectations — He came to fulfill God's mission. On Palm Sunday, the crowds celebrated Jesus as King, but many of them wanted a king on their terms. In this episode, Pastor Stephen unpacks the meaning of Palm Sunday, the triumphal entry, and what it reveals about the kind of King Jesus really is — a King who came to conquer sin and death, not just political enemies.#HolyWeek #PalmSunday #JesusIsKing #UnderGodPodcast

In this powerful Palm Sunday message, Pastor Tom takes us beyond the shouts of “Hosanna” to explore the deeper meaning of Jesus's triumphal entry into Jerusalem. Tracing the journey from Luke 9 to Luke 19, we see a Messiah who sets his face toward the cross, redefining kingship through humility and sacrifice. Jesus is not the king they expected—He's the King who came to die, to bring peace with God, and to receive glory. Discover how His kingdom is for the humble, the lost, and the overlooked—and how we're all invited to cry out His name.

Life in biblical times was not easy. The Jewish people were longing for a Messiah—someone who would overthrow their Roman oppressors and restore the kingdom of Israel. On Palm Sunday, Jesus entered Jerusalem riding a donkey. Crowds welcomed Him like a king, laying down their cloaks and waving palm branches while shouting, “Save us!” Yet others stood by asking, “Who is this?”Jesus came as the King who would usher in God's kingdom on earth. But by Friday, He had been crucified. What happened to the King who arrived with such celebration?Then, on Easter Sunday, the unthinkable happened—Jesus rose from the dead.What does it all mean?Today we talk about hidden expectations.Support the show

This week, we're diving into the story of Palm Sunday—Jesus' humble yet world-shaking ride into Jerusalem. While the people longed for a triumphant military hero, our Savior chose a lowly donkey, pointing to the kind of King He truly is: one who embraces suffering before glory, and welcomes every person—outsiders, children, and the hurting—into His kingdom. Join us as we explore how Jesus clears the way for genuine worship, demonstrating both His tender mercy and His unshakeable authority. It's a powerful reminder that He's not just a King for some, but the King for all. Don't miss this chance to discover (or rediscover) the transforming hope found in our humble, yet victorious, Messiah.

Mark 11:1-11

What if Easter wasn't just a one-day event, but a personal journey that prepared your heart for something more? Join us for a look at Palm Sunday, as we begin to walk through the sacred timeline of daily events that forever changed humankind's relationship with God to experience the impact of [HIS]tory on your story!

Matthew 21 : 1 - 11

Listen to a powerful message concerning the prophetic promise of the triumphful entry from one of our incredible teachers at MAPS Global.

In this episode, Josh reminds us that as Jesus entered Jerusalem, there was expectation that he was going to change the world. But, it was God's way that proved to be greater than we could ever have imagined. The Holy Week Podcast is designed to help us remember the events leading up to the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus and understand their significance in the kingdom of God today.

I'm joined by my friend and former guest of the podcast, Linda Crawford, to discuss her thoughts on Palm Sunday, also known as The Triumphal Entry. 

Episode 11 Michael and Zach discuss the Triumphal Entry of Jesus on Palm Sunday. Over Holy Week, Michael and Zach plan to record shorter daily episodes corresponding to each day's events. Their goal is to make the episodes both informative and devotional to help us prepare for Easter.

Christ's Passion Serves Us As An Example

The Mysteries of Holy Week The Mysteries of Holy Week: Palm Sunday of the Lord's Passion through Holy Thursday Note: This audio is the fifth Friday conference within the Lenten Season. The first several media sets' titles within this series appear below. The Mysteries of Holy Week: Palm Sunday of the Lord's Passion through Holy Thursday In a number of the Homilies during the Lenten Season, it has been mentioned that Lent is going somewhere. It is headed toward the Holy Week. Everything that happens during Lent . . . all of the fasting, prayers and acts of charity . . . are at the service of bringing us to the Holy Days ready to celebrate them worthily and well. The prayers of the Lenten Season are at the service of a greater act of service and prayer. Hear more within the conference. The Lenten Season Prepares Us The Lenten Season prepares us to show up prepared for the Holy Days. It is not just showing up that is the key. It is showing up for these days . . . prepared. Preparing for what? To enter fully into the Mysteries of the Holy Days. What is Passiontide? Passiontide is the last two weeks of Lent. Scripture tells us Jesus sets His face toward Jerusalem. Meaning, He is on the way to the Holy Days. What does that mean and why is it significant? Hear more within the conference. Holy Week begins during Palm Sunday. It is that day we arrive at the doorstep of Holy Week. The official name by the Church is Palm Sunday of the Lord's Passion. As we move toward Holy Week, there are some changes. It begins on the fifth Sunday of Lent. Hear more within the conference. Palm Sunday is Not a Re-enactment Palm Sunday is not a re-enactment of the events of Jesus entering into Jerusalem! Holy Week begins on Palm Sunday. Palm Sunday is not a re-enactment of the events of Jesus entering into Jerusalem. It is a participation in it! It is a participation of the movement of the Lord. Hear more within the media. Listen to this first of two conferences: The Mysteries of Holy Week: Palm Sunday through Holy Thursday. Hear about the last week of Jesus' public life and public ministry. The first conference takes us through Holy Thursday. The second conference picks up from Good Friday. Listen to both conferences. ------------------------------------ Image: Triumphal entry: German Painter and Graphic Artist: Bernhard Plockhorst: (1825 – 1907) -------------------------- Note: This marks the fifth Friday of the current Lenten Season, featuring special formation conferences covering a range of seasonal topics. You can revisit the initial installment, titled “The Spiritual Meaning of Lent". The second installment is entitled: Where Did the Stations of the Cross Come From? Why Are They Important? What is the Peculiar Power of this Prayer? The third conference: Atonement, Reparation and Reconciliation to the Heart of Jesus. The fourth conference: The Seven Last Words of Jesus: The Fourth Friday Lenten Season Conference.

On this day of the Church Year, we begin our solemn march toward Holy Week: Palm Sunday, Maundy Thursday, Good Friday, the Great Vigil of Easter, and, of course, Easter itself, the Day of our Lord's glorious triumph over death and the grave. The forty days of Lent that begin with Ash Wednesday are two…

Grace and peace to you. I'm Rev. Joe Cailles, the pastor of Peakland United Methodist Church in Lynchburg Virginia. I'm posting videos each Wednesday sharing devotions and church news. Today is Wednesday April 5, and we are mid-way in Holy Week. Last Sunday, Palm Sunday, Peakland worshipped as a united congregation. We read and listened to passages from the Gospel of Matthew as Jesus came into the city of Jerusalem while his followers and fans waved palm branches and lined their cloaks on the road to greet him. But we didn't stop with just the Palm Sunday reading, we kept on reading and listening to Matthew's accounts of the major events of holy week all the way up to Jesus' death on the cross and his burial in a borrowed tomb. Tomorrow on Maundy Thursday Peakland will gather for worship to share communion, and then we'll worship together again on Good Friday, in which we go with Jesus to the cross. Next Sunday, Easter Sunday, we'll gather at sunrise and throughout the morning for our Easter worship services. Peakland has a full Holy Week: Palm Sunday, Maundy Thursday, Good Friday, and Easter Sunday. As I said today is Wednesday, and I just learned this week that the church has given this day an official name as well. I don't believe I ever knew that, but this is the day that the church calls Spy Wednesday. S-P-Y, spy as in secret agent. The spy in Spy Wednesday is Judas. According to the Gospels Judas Iscariot, a disciple of Jesus, made the decision to betray Jesus and he began to spy out opportunities to turn Jesus over to the religious authorities. None of the Gospels indicate exactly when Judas made that decision, but it happened between Palm Sunday and the Passover on Thursday, so today Wednesday is Spy Wednesday. Why did Judas do what he did? Why did he make that decision? The scriptures don't ever tell us what Judas was thinking. In Matthew's Gospel, Judas approached the religious authorities just after an unnamed woman spent a large amount of money to buy a special oil to anoint Jesus. Perhaps Judas was angry at the extravagant cost of the oil and let his anger consume him. He would not be the first or the last man to let anger lead to violence. Perhaps Judas' betrayal had nothing to do with the oil. Perhaps Judas was so convinced that Jesus was the longed-for military messiah that would liberate the Jewish nation from Roman rule that Judas decided to force the issue with Jesus and make Jesus declare himself King rather than submit to the authorities. Judas would not be the first or last man to let his pride lead him to destructive behavior. We can speculate all we want trying to understand why Judas does what he does, but a better use of our time is to look inward to confess the ways that we betray Christ, to confess the ways that we deny him as Peter did, and to confess the ways that we do not always live in the ways that Jesus teaches us. We don't love all our neighbors as ourselves. We are not as generous with our time and our God given talents that we know we could be. We hold onto grudges and resentments rather than seek reconciliation. We let our pride and vanity convince us we are better and more deserving than others. On this Spy Wednesday, let us confess that we are all spies. And yet, and yet, Jesus, who was fully aware of what Judas was planning, welcomed Judas at his table. Jesus was fully aware that Judas was spying him out, and that Peter would deny him and that all the male disciples would flee. And Jesus broke bread with all of them and offered all of them the cup. John's Gospel says that Jesus washed the feet of all those who would betray him and deny him and desert him.

Selah Footnotes [1] 24:1 Or and all that fills it [2] 24:6 Septuagint, Syriac, and two Hebrew manuscripts; Masoretic Text who seek your face, Jacob (ESV) Psalm 29 (Listen) Ascribe to the Lord Glory A Psalm of David. 29   Ascribe to the LORD, O heavenly beings,1    ascribe to the LORD glory and strength.2   Ascribe to the LORD the glory due his name;    worship the LORD in the splendor of holiness.2 3   The voice of the LORD is over the waters;    the God of glory thunders,    the LORD, over many waters.4   The voice of the LORD is powerful;    the voice of the LORD is full of majesty. 5   The voice of the LORD breaks the cedars;    the LORD breaks the cedars of Lebanon.6   He makes Lebanon to skip like a calf,    and Sirion like a young wild ox. 7   The voice of the LORD flashes forth flames of fire.8   The voice of the LORD shakes the wilderness;    the LORD shakes the wilderness of Kadesh. 9   The voice of the LORD makes the deer give birth3    and strips the forests bare,    and in his temple all cry, “Glory!” 10   The LORD sits enthroned over the flood;    the LORD sits enthroned as king forever.11   May the LORD give strength to his people!    May the LORD bless4 his people with peace! Footnotes [1] 29:1 Hebrew sons of God, or sons of might [2] 29:2 Or in holy attire [3] 29:9 Revocalization yields makes the oaks to shake [4] 29:11 Or The Lord will give . . . The Lord will bless (ESV) Second Psalm: Psalm 103 Psalm 103 (Listen) Bless the Lord, O My Soul Of David. 103   Bless the LORD, O my soul,    and all that is within me,    bless his holy name!2   Bless the LORD, O my soul,    and forget not all his benefits,3   who forgives all your iniquity,    who heals all your diseases,4   who redeems your life from the pit,    who crowns you with steadfast love and mercy,5   who satisfies you with good    so that your youth is renewed like the eagle's. 6   The LORD works righteousness    and justice for all who are oppressed.7   He made known his ways to Moses,    his acts to the people of Israel.8   The LORD is merciful and gracious,    slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love.9   He will not always chide,    nor will he keep his anger forever.10   He does not deal with us according to our sins,    nor repay us according to our iniquities.11   For as high as the heavens are above the earth,    so great is his steadfast love toward those who fear him;12   as far as the east is from the west,    so far does he remove our transgressions from us.13   As a father shows compassion to his children,    so the LORD shows compassion to those who fear him.14   For he knows our frame;1    he remembers that we are dust. 15   As for man, his days are like grass;    he flourishes like a flower of the field;16   for the wind passes over it, and it is gone,    and its place knows it no more.17   But the steadfast love of the LORD is from everlasting to everlasting on those who fear him,    and his righteousness to children's children,18   to those who keep his covenant    and remember to do his commandments.19   The LORD has established his throne in the heavens,    and his kingdom rules over all. 20   Bless the LORD, O you his angels,    you mighty ones who do his word,    obeying the voice of his word!21   Bless the LORD, all his hosts,    his ministers, who do his will!22   Bless the LORD, all his works,    in all places of his dominion.  Bless the LORD, O my soul! Footnotes [1] 103:14 Or knows how we are formed (ESV) Old Testament: Zechariah 9:9–12; Zechariah 12:9–11; Zechariah 13:1; Zechariah 13:7–9 Zechariah 9:9–12 (Listen) The Coming King of Zion 9   Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion!    Shout aloud, O daughter of Jerusalem!  Behold, your king is coming to you;    righteous and having salvation is he,  humble and mounted on a donkey,    on a colt, the foal of a donkey.10   I will cut off the chariot from Ephraim    and the war horse from Jerusalem;  and the battle bow shall be cut off,    and he shall speak peace to the nations;  his rule shall be from sea to sea,    and from the River1 to the ends of the earth.11   As for you also, because of the blood of my covenant with you,    I will set your prisoners free from the waterless pit.12   Return to your stronghold, O prisoners of hope;    today I declare that I will restore to you double. Footnotes [1] 9:10 That is, the Euphrates (ESV) Zechariah 12:9–11 (Listen) 9 And on that day I will seek to destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem. Him Whom They Have Pierced 10 “And I will pour out on the house of David and the inhabitants of Jerusalem a spirit of grace and pleas for mercy, so that, when they look on me, on him whom they have pierced, they shall mourn for him, as one mourns for an only child, and weep bitterly over him, as one weeps over a firstborn. 11 On that day the mourning in Jerusalem will be as great as the mourning for Hadad-rimmon in the plain of Megiddo. (ESV) Zechariah 13:1 (Listen) 13 “On that day there shall be a fountain opened for the house of David and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, to cleanse them from sin and uncleanness. (ESV) Zechariah 13:7–9 (Listen) The Shepherd Struck 7   “Awake, O sword, against my shepherd,    against the man who stands next to me,”      declares the LORD of hosts.   “Strike the shepherd, and the sheep will be scattered;    I will turn my hand against the little ones.8   In the whole land, declares the LORD,    two thirds shall be cut off and perish,    and one third shall be left alive.9   And I will put this third into the fire,    and refine them as one refines silver,    and test them as gold is tested.  They will call upon my name,    and I will answer them.  I will say, ‘They are my people';    and they will say, ‘The LORD is my God.'” (ESV) New Testament: 1 Timothy 6:12–16 1 Timothy 6:12–16 (Listen) 12 Fight the good fight of the faith. Take hold of the eternal life to which you were called and about which you made the good confession in the presence of many witnesses. 13 I charge you in the presence of God, who gives life to all things, and of Christ Jesus, who in his testimony before1 Pontius Pilate made the good confession, 14 to keep the commandment unstained and free from reproach until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ, 15 which he will display at the proper time—he who is the blessed and only Sovereign, the King of kings and Lord of lords, 16 who alone has immortality, who dwells in unapproachable light, whom no one has ever seen or can see. To him be honor and eternal dominion. Amen. Footnotes [1] 6:13 Or in the time of (ESV) Gospel: Matthew 21:12–17 Matthew 21:12–17 (Listen) Jesus Cleanses the Temple 12 And Jesus entered the temple1 and drove out all who sold and bought in the temple, and he overturned the tables of the money-changers and the seats of those who sold pigeons. 13 He said to them, “It is written, ‘My house shall be called a house of prayer,' but you make it a den of robbers.” 14 And the blind and the lame came to him in the temple, and he healed them. 15 But when the chief priests and the scribes saw the wonderful things that he did, and the children crying out in the temple, “Hosanna to the Son of David!” they were indignant, 16 and they said to him, “Do you hear what these are saying?” And Jesus said to them, “Yes; have you never read,   “‘Out of the mouth of infants and nursing babies    you have prepared praise'?” 17 And leaving them, he went out of the city to Bethany and lodged there. Footnotes [1] 21:12 Some manuscripts add of God (ESV)

As we enter into Holy Week, we take a break from our regular study of Ezekiel to focus on the story of Jesus on His way to the cross.

From Palm Sunday to Maundy Thursday, Malcolm Guite shares a sequence of sonnets for Holy Week. They are taken from his collection, Sounding the Seasons (Canterbury Press). “In composing these sonnets, I had in mind that mysterious and beautiful phrase in the Psalms about the man in whose heart are the highways to Zion (Psalm 84.5),” he says. “I wanted to develop the hint offered in that phrase that there is an inner as well as an outer Jerusalem, and that therefore the events of Holy Week are both about Jesus's outward visible and historical entry into Jerusalem. and what he did there, and also about his entry into the inner Jerusalem, 'the seething holy city' of our own hearts.” The Revd Dr Malcolm Guite is a Life Fellow of Girton College, Cambridge, and writes the weekly Poet's Corner column for the Church Times.

Him Whom They Have Pierced 10 “And I will pour out on the house of David and the inhabitants of Jerusalem a spirit of grace and pleas for mercy, so that, when they look on me, on him whom they have pierced, they shall mourn for him, as one mourns for an only child, and weep bitterly over him, as one weeps over a firstborn. 11 On that day the mourning in Jerusalem will be as great as the mourning for Hadad-rimmon in the plain of Megiddo. (ESV) Zechariah 13:1 (Listen) 13 “On that day there shall be a fountain opened for the house of David and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, to cleanse them from sin and uncleanness. (ESV) Zechariah 13:7–9 (Listen) The Shepherd Struck 7   “Awake, O sword, against my shepherd,    against the man who stands next to me,”      declares the LORD of hosts.   “Strike the shepherd, and the sheep will be scattered;    I will turn my hand against the little ones.8   In the whole land, declares the LORD,    two thirds shall be cut off and perish,    and one third shall be left alive.9   And I will put this third into the fire,    and refine them as one refines silver,    and test them as gold is tested.  They will call upon my name,    and I will answer them.  I will say, ‘They are my people';    and they will say, ‘The LORD is my God.'” (ESV) New Testament: 1 Timothy 6:12–16 1 Timothy 6:12–16 (Listen) 12 Fight the good fight of the faith. Take hold of the eternal life to which you were called and about which you made the good confession in the presence of many witnesses. 13 I charge you in the presence of God, who gives life to all things, and of Christ Jesus, who in his testimony before1 Pontius Pilate made the good confession, 14 to keep the commandment unstained and free from reproach until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ, 15 which he will display at the proper time—he who is the blessed and only Sovereign, the King of kings and Lord of lords, 16 who alone has immortality, who dwells in unapproachable light, whom no one has ever seen or can see. To him be honor and eternal dominion. Amen.

But now they are hidden from your eyes. 43 For the days will come upon you, when your enemies will set up a barricade around you and surround you and hem you in on every side 44 and tear you down to the ground, you and your children within you. And they will not leave one stone upon another in you, because you did not know the time of your visitation.” Jesus Cleanses the Temple 45 And he entered the temple and began to drive out those who sold, 46 saying to them, “It is written, ‘My house shall be a house of prayer,' but you have made it a den of robbers.” 47 And he was teaching daily in the temple. The chief priests and the scribes and the principal men of the people were seeking to destroy him, 48 but they did not find anything they could do, for all the people were hanging on his words. (ESV)
