Ces trois mots hébreux sont célèbres, ils nous invitent à un itinéraire de résurrection : la recherche de l'aide de Dieu avec Hosanna, la louange pour ce que nous avons déjà reçu avec Alléluia, et enfin la confiance en Dieu, rassemblant tout dans le Amen.

Palm Sunday marks the beginning of Holy Week—a time that many of us remember with tradition and reverence. In the Gospel story, Jesus enters Jerusalem to shouts of “Hosanna!” as palm branches are laid at his feet. But A Course in Miracles invites us to see this moment in a new light—not just as the beginning of Jesus' final days, but as the beginning of everyone's spiritual journey home to God. In this message, Robert Perry explores what Holy Week means through the lens of the Course. Rather than focusing on death and sacrifice, the Course shifts the message to forgiveness, innocence, and resurrection—not only for Jesus, but for each one of us… and especially for the people standing right beside us. What if the people in your life—yes, even the difficult ones—are walking their own sacred path to resurrection? What if you could either delay or speed their journey by the way you see and treat them? And what if, in offering them lilies instead of thorns, you were saving yourself as well? ___________________________ Since 1993, our purpose has been to help with both the theory and practical application of A Course in Miracles. We are the publisher of the Complete and Annotated Edition of the Course (known as the “CE”), which is available as a paperback*, ebook*, and via Audible. Our work grows out of our commitment to be as faithful as possible to what A Course in Miracles says,  years of dedication to walking this path ourselves, and a desire to see the Course's purpose realized in the lives of students and in the world.

🚨⚽ ¿Qué tiene que ver unos golazos del Arsenal con la historia más poderosa jamás contada? Más de lo que imaginas... En esta enseñanza exploramos la historia de la entrada triunfal de Jesús a Jerusalén —un momento que marcó un antes y un después, no solo en su vida pública, sino también en el destino de la humanidad. 📖🙌 Así como Declan Rice pasó del anonimato a los titulares del mundo entero con un par de goles, Jesús pasó de ser "ese profeta de Galilea" a ser reconocido como el Rey, el Salvador... el Mesías. Pero no fue con lujos ni caballos blancos, fue con humildad, en un burro, y rodeado de personas comunes que gritaban ¡Hosanna! 🌿🐴 🎯 ¿El mensaje central? Que así como Jesús entró a Jerusalén con autoridad y propósito, tú también has sido llamado con autoridad para cumplir tu propósito. La misma gloria que lo respaldó, te respalda a ti. Y sí… después de cada victoria vendrán críticas, pruebas y hasta traiciones, pero Dios sigue contigo. Su autoridad está contigo, su presencia te acompaña. ✨🔥 💬 "Y les aseguro que estaré con ustedes siempre, hasta el fin del mundo." – Mateo 28:20 Tienes alguna pregunta, escríbenos a hola@somosviva.org Síguenos para disfrutar de todo nuestro contenido y acompáñanos de manera presencial, cada domingo, 10:00 AM. ©️Iglesia Cristiana Viva Cra. 22 164 24 Brr.

The donkey, clothes, palms, and Hosanna all point to the crowd's hope for political salvation -- a hope all too common in our world today. Zack offers seven suggestions drawn from reflecting on the Palm Sunday story to help us live more faithful political lives in this moment.

In his Palm Sunday sermon "Hosanna In The Highest," Pastor Micah Stephens passionately unpacks the triumphal entry of Jesus into Jerusalem as recounted in Matthew 21, challenging listeners to grapple with the pivotal question, "Who is this?" Pastor Micah vividly contrasts the crowd's misguided expectations of a conquering Messiah with Jesus' humble arrival on a donkey, fulfilling prophecy as a peaceful King intent on saving humanity from sin, not merely political oppression. Reflecting on the church's defiant stand during 2020 against restrictive orders, he underscores the importance of true worship—a heart posture of submission to Christ's identity as King, not just a prophet—urging believers to align their lives with God's will through obedience, even when it defies personal comfort or societal norms. This message calls for genuine repentance and a deeper understanding of Jesus' cosmic rescue mission, setting the stage for Holy Week's transformative journey to the cross.Verse References: Matthew 21 verses 1-11, 1 John 4 verse 8, Isaiah 55 verses 8-9, Numbers 4 verse 15, John 12 verse 16, Psalm 150 verses 1-6, Psalm 18 verses 9-10, Micah 6 verse 8, Luke 19 verses 32-34, Matthew 7 verses 21-23, John 12 verse 25Make sure you subscribe to this channel and follow us on all our platforms to always stay up to date with our latest content!And you can always head over to our website for any general information!https://godspeak.comPrayer/NeedsIf you have any needs, or have a willingness to be used to meet various need in the body, please email info@godspeak.com.

Through his entry into Jerusalem, Jesus reveals that he is not just a humble king, but a different kind of king altogether. As the crowds chanted “Hosanna” while he rode into the city on a donkey, we see that true greatness often comes wrapped in unexpected packages. How often do we expect God to show up in a way that we want, instead of the way that we need? In this week's Sunday message in Manhattan, Pastor Ryan Schlachter calls us to reflect on whether we're truly ready to follow Jesus, not just in moments of triumph, but through the valleys of challenge and change.

Hosanna, Mama! It's a word of praise, joy, and a cry for deliverance—and it's powerful! Join us as we talk about what “Hosanna” really means and how this beautiful word can shape your prayers and your day. Say it with your kids, whisper it in your heart—Jesus, our Deliverer, hears you.“The next day a great multitude that had come to the feast, when they heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem, took branches of palm trees and went out to meet Him, and cried out: ‘Hosanna! Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord! The King of Israel!' Then Jesus, when He had found a young donkey, sat on it; as it is written.” JOHN 12:12-14 (NKJV)

The Reconciler | Only Jesus | Part 4 This morning, we entered Holy Week—the sacred journey that invites us to remember the final days of Jesus' life. On that first Palm Sunday, He rode into Jerusalem on a humble donkey, greeted by the cries of “Hosanna!” from a hopeful crowd. But by week's end, those cheers had turned into cries for crucifixion. As we move toward the celebration of Easter, Senior Pastor David Dwight challenged us not to rush past the cross. Before we rejoice in the resurrection, we must pause and reflect on the weight of what Jesus endured for us. Let's not look away too quickly. Let's sit with the sorrow, the sacrifice, and the deep love poured out on our behalf. The apostle Paul writes in Colossians 1:21–22: “Once you were alienated from God and were enemies in your minds because of your evil behavior. But now he has reconciled you by Christ's physical body through death to present you holy in his sight, without blemish and free from accusation.” Christ—our Redeemer. Our Reconciler.The only one who could restore us to right relationship with God.Fully human. Fully divine. Only Jesus.Holy, holy, holy is He. __ We invite you to join us in remembering, reflecting, and celebrating all that Jesus did for us. We have four unique gatherings: Maunday Thursday at 7pm, Good Friday at 7am, Springle Jam at 10am-12pm + 2-4pm, and Easter Sunday at 7:30, 9:30, and 11:30am.

Pastor Jose continues the Follow Jesus series looking at the word Hosanna and how Jesus came to renovate.

On Palm Sunday, God's people rejoiced in the coming of their Savior with palm branches and crying out, "Hosanna," which means Lord save! These same people days later would reject Him shouting "Crucify Him!" While we might see them with great disdain, we should consider the ways in our lives we tend to reject Christ without even knowing we are doing so; the ways we separate ourselves from Him and turn away from Him. Today these ways are examined along with helpful guidance as to how we might grow out of these patterns in our lives.

Listen to this week's message as we teach on the different viewpoints in the Gospel of Jesus's entrance into Jerusalem before his Crucifixion.

In this episode, we conclude our Lenten book study by focusing on the epilogue and sharing ideas on how to prepare for the Triduum. During Holy Week, our Lord invites us to join Him on His Paschal journey. We reflect on how He takes on our suffering, sin, and brokenness and brings them to the Father so that death may be destroyed forever. We also talk about the importance of remembering how God has transformed our lives, the call to “be not afraid”, and how our Lord is restoring our deepest identities.

The post When Jesus comes, Hosanna and palm branches are appropriate. appeared first on Key Life.

There’s one more ride. And this time, He will not ride a donkey. This time... He rides a war horse.

Scripture: John 12: 12-16, 23-28  Jesus Comes to Jerusalem as King 12 The next day the great crowd that had come for the festival heard that Jesus was on his way to Jerusalem. 13 They took palm branches and went out to meet him, shouting, “Hosanna![a]” “Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!”[b] “Blessed is the king of Israel!” 14 Jesus found a young donkey and sat on it, as it is written: 15 “Do not be afraid, Daughter Zion;     see, your king is coming,     seated on a donkey's colt.”[c] 16 At first his disciples did not understand all this. Only after Jesus was glorified did they realize that these things had been written about him and that these things had been done to him. -- John 12:23-28   New International Version     23 Jesus replied, “The hour has come for the Son of Man to be glorified. 24 Very truly I tell you, unless a kernel of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it remains only a single seed. But if it dies, it produces many seeds. 25 Anyone who loves their life will lose it, while anyone who hates their life in this world will keep it for eternal life. 26 Whoever serves me must follow me; and where I am, my servant also will be. My Father will honor the one who serves me. 27 “Now my soul is troubled, and what shall I say? ‘Father, save me from this hour'? No, it was for this very reason I came to this hour. 28 Father, glorify your name!” Then a voice came from heaven, “I have glorified it, and will glorify it again.”

Why a donkey, Mama? Because our Savior came not with fanfare, but with peace, humility, and deep love for the lowly. Tune in as we reflect on the meaning behind Jesus' entrance into Jerusalem and how His peace is still for you—right now, right where you are. You'll be so encouraged, Mama!“Then the multitudes who went before and those who followed cried out, saying: ‘Hosanna to the Son of David! Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord! Hosanna in the highest!'”  Matthew 21:9 (NKJV)

When Jesus entered Jerusalem it was to shouts of praise! The people called Him King and cried out, “Hosanna! Save us!” How quickly their shouts turned to “Crucify Him!” This week, Don Denyes looks at this stark change and invites us to focus not on the crowd, but on our Savior and the love He displayed for us on the cross.

In his Palm Sunday message at Cherry Hills Community Church, Pastor Curt Taylor explored the deep sense of disappointment the disciples felt as the week unfolded—not the triumphant rise they expected, but a confusing descent into suffering. As Jesus entered Jerusalem to shouts of "Hosanna," the disciples anticipated a conquering king who would overthrow Rome and establish earthly power. Instead, they witnessed their Messiah riding a donkey, speaking of sacrifice, and ultimately heading toward a cross. Pastor Curt reminded us that God's plans often clash with our expectations, and in the disciples' disillusionment, we see a reflection of our own struggles to trust when the path takes a painful turn. Yet even in the midst of their disappointment, Jesus was fulfilling a far greater purpose—one that would bring eternal hope through the paradox of the cross.

Luke 19:29-40, 45-48 29 When he drew near to Bethphage and Bethany, at the mount that is called Olivet, he sent two of the disciples, 30 saying, “Go into the village in front of you, where on entering you will find a colt tied, on which no one has ever yet sat. Untie it and bring it here. 31 If anyone asks you, ‘Why are you untying it?' you shall say this: ‘The Lord has need of it.'” 32 So those who were sent went away and found it just as he had told them. 33 And as they were untying the colt, its owners said to them, “Why are you untying the colt?” 34 And they said, “The Lord has need of it.” 35 And they brought it to Jesus, and throwing their cloaks on the colt, they set Jesus on it. 36 And as he rode along, they spread their cloaks on the road. 37As he was drawing near—already on the way down the Mount of Olives—the whole multitude of his disciples began to rejoice and praise God with a loud voice for all the mighty works that they had seen, 38 saying, “Blessed is the King who comes in the name of the Lord! Peace in heaven and glory in the highest!” 39 And some of the Pharisees in the crowd said to him, “Teacher, rebuke your disciples.” 40 He answered, “I tell you, if these were silent, the very stones would cry out.”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.Sermon Questions:1. What position does Jesus most often occupy in your life? (e.g. teacher, example, guide)2. What control do you need to relinquish to his authority?3. When does Jesus' character/leadership not meet your expectations?4. How have you relegated Jesus to a part-player in your life? Does that feel like a rejection of him?5. How can you 'hang on his every word' this week?

Jesus was brokenhearted over what sin had done to his creation and how Jerusalem would miss their chance for true peace.• Palm Sunday represented Jesus coming as the king of peace, riding on a donkey instead of a conquering stallion• The word "Hosanna" means both "save us" and celebrates that salvation has come• Our tears matter deeply to God – Psalm 56:8 says He collects them in a bottle and records them in His book• Jesus offers prayers with "loud cries and tears" (Hebrews 5:7) as our high priest who understands our weaknesses• God wrapped himself in flesh so the unholy could touch the holy and be transformed• When we see sin against the backdrop of God's holiness, we understand true repentance• Godly sorrow leads to salvation while worldly sorrow leads to death

Message 4 of the series "The Road to Glory"Ronnie Phillips is the Lead Pastor at Abba's House in Chattanooga, TN and founder of Ronnie Phillips Ministries International.   ronniephillips.org

On Palm Sunday, Pastor Robey Barnes unpacks the powerful moment of Jesus' triumphal entry into Jerusalem by drawing a striking parallel to the discovery of a rare silver coin from the Jewish revolt against Rome. Just as that coin symbolized a declaration of independence, Jesus' entry—riding humbly on a donkey while crowds waved palm branches and cried “Hosanna!”—was a bold, prophetic declaration of victory. But unlike earthly revolutions, Jesus came not to overthrow Rome, but to conquer sin, suffering, and death. This message invites us to rethink what true triumph looks like and to trust in the humble King who brings eternal victory through the cross.

Pastor Bobby Schuller teaches on the significance of seeking God's kingdom first. Understand how prioritizing God's will brings righteousness, peace, and joy into our lives, transforming us from the inside out, with today's message: “Hosanna.”

(Luke 22:35-38) Jesus is in His final hours with His disciples and gives them a stark warning and tells them what they are going to experience in the next few days during his arrest, crucifixion and burial. There is such a stark contrast between living with Jesus and the darkness the disciples are going to experience. The truth is that when we don't have Jesus, we only live in darkness - and there maybe flashes of light, but those are just reminders of the Light from which we have fallen. But Jesus, has come and He is the Light. He invites us to live with Him, and He in us that we would no longer walk in darkness, but be the salt and light of the world. This message is to encourage and demonstrate to the listener that darkness is their lived reality, but only for those who choose not to live and follow Jesus.

Send us a textDeath couldn't hold Him. The grave couldn't keep Him. The resurrection of Jesus changed everything.In this episode, we are joined by Pastor Darren as we walk through the final week of Jesus's earthly ministry—from His triumphal entry on Palm Sunday to His glorious resurrection. Together, we unpack the profound significance behind each day's events and how they perfectly fulfilled God's redemptive plan.Through our conversation, we explore the contradictions and tensions that filled that momentous week: crowds who shouted "Hosanna" on Sunday but "Crucify Him" by Friday; religious leaders who claimed to know Scripture yet rejected their Messiah; and disciples who pledged loyalty yet scattered in fear. These human responses mirror our own struggles to fully embrace Christ's mission. Tune in to Unsexy Church for a sneak peek on what is to come this Resurrection Sunday!

How quickly can cheers turn to anger? What would make people go from "Hosanna" to "Crucify?"

Pastor John Ryan Cantu brings this week's message, “Nothing But Leaves." Key Verses: Matthew 21.6-11 ESV: “The disciples went and did as Jesus had directed them. They brought the donkey and the colt and put on them their cloaks, and he sat on them. Most of the crowd spread their cloaks on the road, and others cut branches from the trees and spread them on the road. And the crowds that went before him and that followed him were shouting, “Hosanna to the Son of David! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord! Hosanna in the highest!” And when he entered Jerusalem, the whole city was stirred up, saying, “Who is this?” And the crowds said, “This is the prophet Jesus, from Nazareth of Galilee.”” Mark 11.12-14 ESV: “On the following day, when they came from Bethany, he was hungry. And seeing in the distance a fig tree in leaf, he went to see if he could find anything on it. When he came to it, he found nothing but leaves, for it was not the season for figs. And he said to it, “May no one ever eat fruit from you again.” And his disciples heard it.” Sermon Topics: Holiness If you enjoyed the podcast, please subscribe and share it with your friends on social media.

Pastor Kevin preaches this week asking the question, "Who Do You Say Jesus Is?" from Matthew 16:13-20.

On Palm Sunday, we talk about how the same people celebrating Jesus' triumphal entry on Sunday turned on Him and had Him arrested just days later.

In this Palm Sunday message, Pastor Jason Storbakken reflects on the radical act of Jesus entering Jerusalem—not on a warhorse, but on a donkey. It was a deliberate move of humility, vulnerability, and resistance without violence. Set against the backdrop of empire, crucifixion, and fear, the crowd's cry of “Hosanna!” was not just praise—it was a plea for liberation.What does it mean to follow Jesus today through vulnerable resistance? How do we confront systems of domination—not with retaliation, but with love that disrupts, heals, and transforms?Rooted in Philippians 2:5–11 and liberation theology, this sermon calls us to walk the path of peace, to overturn tables of injustice, and to remember: love is not weakness. Love is power. And in the end, love will win.Join us Sundays at 4 PM at the 15th Street Friends Meeting House for worship rooted in peace, justice, and community—and follow us on Instagram @manhattanmennonite to stay connected.

The Lord provides what we need—even when it's not what we want.

Bible Reading: Matthew 21:1-11; John 3:16-18Arlo giggled as his sister Marni raised her palm branch over his head. "Save me! Aunt Lori, Marni is going to rule over me!" Aunt Lori called to the kids from the deck. "Quit playing with those. Come on, let's eat lunch."Arlo and Marni groaned. They tossed their palm leaves to the side and trudged up the steps. "Those branches are perfect for sword fighting," said Marni. "Why can't we play with them?""Yeah," Arlo added. "We got them in church, but all we did was wave them around and lay them on the floor. It was boring."Uncle Damien brought out plates of sandwiches. "Do you even know why you got them?" he asked as he set the food down. The kids shrugged and said in unison, "Palm Sunday."'Uncle Damien nodded. "A week before Jesus died on the cross for our sins, He entered Jerusalem on a donkey. The people laid down their cloaks and palm leaves as He rode through the city to honor Him as the Messiah--the Savior God had promised. Every year on the Sunday before Easter, we celebrate that day by remembering that Jesus is the humble King who came to save us."Marni thought about the church service earlier. "But why did the pastor have us say 'hosanna'? What does that mean?""Actually, it's kind of like what Arlo exclaimed when you beat him in your game earlier," said Aunt Lori."I joked that you had to save me from Marni's oppressive rule," said Arlo. "And hosanna means just that," Aunt Lori said. "It's a word meaning 'save us' in the language Jesus spoke." Marnie nodded in realization. "So we shout it in church on Palm Sunday to remember that God saves us from our sins.""And He did just that," Uncle Damien said. "When Jesus died on the cross, He took the punishment for sin we deserved. Then when He rose from the grave, He conquered death so we could have eternal life with Him. The moment we trust in Him, He frees us from the oppressive rule of sin and death and makes us right with God.""Wow!" Arlo exclaimed. "We should shout hosanna more often!"–Zoe BricknerHow About You?Have you ever gotten a palm branch at church on Palm Sunday? During Jesus's time, the leaves and cloaks on the ground showed respect to kings. Jesus was a different King than all the others--He's the King of kings! He is the most powerful King, yet also the humblest. Jesus became human and died on the cross to save us, and that's a good reason to shout, "Hosanna!"Today's Key Verse:The crowds who went ahead of him [Jesus] and those who followed shouted…"Hosanna in the highest heaven!" (CSB) (Matthew 21:9 )Today's Key Thought:Jesus came to save us

Americans instinctively reject kings and authority figures. But on Palm Sunday, Jesus rode into Jerusalem on a humble donkey as king. In this message from Luke 19, Pastor Philip Miller examines three ways the Triumphal Entry reveals Jesus' true identity. This event foreshadows what's coming for the blessed King who would be rejected. This month's special offer is available for a donation of any amount.

As we join the Hebrew children waving palm branches and crying "Hosanna," we confront a profound paradox: the same crowds who welcome Jesus as king will soon demand His Crucifixion.This stark contradiction mirrors our own spiritual journey. We proclaim Christ as King with our lips yet sometimes crucify Him in our hearts through sin and indifference. Yet throughout this drama, one truth remains unchangeable – Christ is victorious. "It is not death that Jesus goes to seek today in Jerusalem, it is triumph." Even as Israel rejected Him, a new people arose from all nations of earth to acclaim Him as King and Savior.As we journey through Holy Week, each day invites us deeper into mystery: Monday (fidelity), Tuesday (silence), Wednesday (fortitude), Thursday (Eucharist and priesthood), Friday (sacrifice), and Saturday (hope). The liturgy brilliantly unites Christ's passion with resurrection, weaving themes of victory and joy even amidst suffering. We're called to unite ourselves with Christ's sacrifice by carrying our crosses and purifying ourselves of all that weakens our union with Him.This week demands spiritual action. Make a good confession to prepare yourself for Easter communion. Offer prayers for those who oppose Christ's kingship, recognizing that all humanity remains subject to Christ in matters of faith and morals. Christ paid an immeasurable price for our salvation – a price we all must reckon with through either sacrifice in this life or purification in the next. Will you join in proclaiming not just with your words but with your life: Christ is King?Support the showSponsored by Recusant Cellars, an unapologetically Catholic and pro-life winery from Washington state.

Friends of the Rosary,Today is Palm Sunday, the feast of the Lord's Passion, the beginning of the solemnity of Holy Week. It commemorates Christ's entry into Jerusalem to complete the Paschal Mystery.We enter the holiest part of Lent, with the Passion and the Resurrection, with the Cross as the way to Easter victory, with the sacred passion of Christ as a prerequisite to Easter's glory.During the liturgy of the Mass of Palm Sunday, the priests and deacons wearing red vestments do a special entrance that includes the blessing of the palms remembering how Jesus entered in triumph into his own city, to complete his work as our Messiah: to suffer, to die, and to rise again (Matt 21:1-11; Mark 11:1-10; John 12:12-16; Luke 19:28-40).The palms are blessed with the following prayer:Almighty God, we pray that you bless these branches and make them holy. Today, we joyfully acclaim Jesus our Messiah and King. May we one day reach the happiness of the new and everlasting Jerusalem by faithfully following him who lives and reigns forever and ever. Amen.As the faithful, we remember and dramatize Christ's triumphal entrance into Jerusalem on a donkey.At that time, a vast crowd assembled, put their cloaks or branches on the ground, and waved palm branches, acclaiming Christ as the King of Israel, the Son of David.Today, we wave our palm branches and sing as the priest enters the church:Hosanna to the Son of David, the King of Israel.Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.Hosanna in the highest.Our joy is quickly subdued as we read the Passion in the Gospel.Jesus' experience of being loved and hated, of being welcomed and then rejected, gives us the strength to endure the injustices and hardships of our lives.Ave Maria!Jesus, I Trust In You!Come, Holy Spirit, come!To Jesus through Mary!Here I am, Lord; I come to do your will. Please give us the grace to respond with joy!+ Mikel Amigot | RosaryNetwork.com, New York Enhance your faith with the new Holy Rosary University app:Apple iOS | New!
