Podcasts about Hosanna

Coleton preached on Jesus' triumphal entry and how Jesus seeks to make two central claims: 1. Jesus is the Messianic King — the crowd's actions and the fulfillment of prophecy (Zechariah 9:9) show that Jesus openly claims the kingship. He accepts royal honor (“Hosanna,” cloaks, branches) and—when challenged—refuses to silence the praise, even saying that if the people were quiet “the stones would cry out.”  N. T. Wright: “You don't spread cloaks on the road –especially in the dusty, stony Middle East!–for a friend, or even a respected senior member of your family. You do it for royalty. And you don't cut branches off trees, or foliage from the fields, to wave in the streets just because you feel somewhat elated; you do it because you are welcoming a king.” Jesus claim to be King forces a decision: is Jesus merely a helpful healer/teacher, or is He your sovereign King who rules your life? C. S. Lewis: “A really foolish thing that people often say about Jesus is: ‘I'm ready to accept Jesus as a great moral teacher, but I don't accept His claim to be God.' That is the one thing we must not say. A man who was merely a man yet said the sort of things Jesus said would not be a great moral teacher. He would either be a lunatic (like a man who says he is a poached egg)—or else he would be the Devil of Hell. You must make your choice. Either this man was, and is, the Son of God: or else a madman or something worse. You can shut Him up for a fool, you can spit at Him and kill Him as a demon; or you can fall at His feet and call Him Lord and God. But let us not come with any patronising nonsense about His being a great human teacher. He has not left that open to us. He did not intend to.” We have to choose to receive or reject Jesus as King. 2. Jesus is not like other kings — unlike Roman triumphs that display conquest, prisoners, and plunder, Jesus rides a colt (a sign of peace and humility) and is followed by people He's healed and freed. His reign looks like liberation, restoration, and sacrificial service, not domination and bondage. David Guzik & Dr. David L. McKenna  “A Roman Triumphal Entry was an honor granted to a Roman general who won a complete and decisive victory and had killed at least 5,000 enemy soldiers. When the general returned to Rome, they had an elaborate parade. As a symbol of bloody conquest, they chose a prancing horse at the head of a processional that included his warriors, a shackled contingent of the conquered people, and an extravagant display of the treasures that the army had taken by force. The procession ended at the arena, where some of the prisoners were thrown to wild animals for the entertainment of the crowd. Now we understand why Jesus is so specific about His entry and the animal He rides. In the symbol of the foal of a donkey, Jesus predicts His role as the King. Jesus makes His triumphal entry on a donkey—a symbol of peace, not war; of humility, not pride. Behind Him comes (not prisoners but), an entourage of disciples and a rabble of common people whom He has healed and set free. They serve as the trophies of His conquest—not won by bloody violence, but by relentless love.” Why it matters: if Jesus is truly your King, He gets to govern all areas of life (money, marriage, speech, media, anger, forgiveness, political loyalties, etc.). That means surrendering personal control and letting his values shape decisions and habits. If you resist that rule you may still experience a Christian language of forgiveness and blessing but not the transforming reality of Jesus' kingdom — a kingdom characterized by love, freedom, reconciliation, generosity, and joy even amid suffering. Coleton closes with a pointed question to wrestle with: Is Jesus your King? and invites people to examine which kingdom's traits actually define their life. ⸻ Practical takeaways     •    The triumphal entry publicly declares Jesus' kingship — it's not optional or merely symbolic.     •    Jesus' kingship is servant and liberating, not coercive or violent.     •    To truly follow him means handing over areas of life where you still rule, and allowing his kingdom fruit (love, peace, patience, generosity, freedom, reconciliation) to grow.     •    Evaluate life by asking: “Whose kingdom am I experiencing here?” If it's not Jesus', return and make Him King. ⸻ Discussion & Small-group / Personal practice questions Use these to help people put the sermon into practice — mix of reflection, confession, and action. 1- Read Mark 11:1–11. What detail(s) jump out at you this time that you hadn't noticed before? Why might those details matter? 2. Coleton says Jesus forces a choice: King or not. What makes accepting Jesus' kingship hard for you personally?  3. Take one area of your life (money, marriage, parenting, social media, anger). Describe which kingdom (Jesus' kingdom or the world's) best describes how you act there. What would one concrete step toward Jesus' rule in that area look like this week? (Give a measurable, time-bound step.) 4. Jesus' kingship carries moral demands (forgiveness, loving enemies, turning the other cheek). Pick one relationship where forgiveness or reconciliation is needed. What is one small, courageous next step you can take to reflect Jesus' reign there? 5. Reflect on the two portraits of kingship (Roman/violent vs. Jesus/humble). Where in your life are you tempted to imitate a worldly kingdom (control, domination, proving self)? How can you choose the way of Christ instead? 6. The sermon notes the kingdom's fruit (love, joy, peace, patience…). Which of those fruits are present in your life now? Which are absent?  7. Coleton said there are places where Jesus is king and places where you still rule. Name one “pocket” of your life where you still want to be sovereign. What would it look like to hand that pocket over to Jesus today? ⸻ Scripture quoted in the sermon Zechariah 9:9–10 (NKJV excerpt used): “Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion! Shout, O daughter of Jerusalem! Behold, your King is coming to you; He is just and having salvation, Lowly and riding on a donkey, A colt, the foal of a donkey.” Psalm 118:25–26 (referred to as source of “Hosanna” / welcoming the Deliverer). Luke 19:38–40 (quoted in part): “Blessed is the king who comes in the name of the Lord!” “Peace in heaven and glory in the highest!” … Some of the Pharisees in the crowd said to Jesus, “Teacher, rebuke your disciples!” … “I tell you,” he replied, “if they keep quiet, the stones will cry out.” Philippians 2:6–8 (paraphrase/quote of Paul): “Who, being in very nature God, did not consider His equality with God as something to be used to his own advantage; rather, He made himself nothing… He humbled himself by becoming obedient to death—even death on a cross!”

Jesus rides into Jerusalem not with military might, but with humility and purpose. In Mark 11:1–10, prophecy is fulfilled, crowds cry Hosanna, and the true Kingdom is revealed—not political power, but spiritual redemption. This week, Pastor Korey invites us to lay down what we cling to and follow the King who saves through sacrifice.

Hosanna Wong has been traveling the country (literally, you need to listen to her story) and speaking to women about what it means to know and and believe what God says about us. Our pathway to freedom is allowing God's good words in Scripture to meet us in our daily experiences. It's through the everyday soaking that we can know God better and therefore know ourselves better. We know that childhood messages can set a trajectory for identity and so we talk about how to both counter negative messages we've absorbed along the way, and offer words of hope to future generations. Hosanna is now married and a (little) more settled in San Diego, but she still travels frequently to present to groups about God's love for them.. She often hears women say they wished they'd known and absorbed these messages earlier in life, and so she has created a children's book titled, What God Says About You. Listening to Hosanna's story, her thoughts on friendship, faith, and truth, will remind you of how dramatically God can intervene in each of our hearts. We can live in freedom. Our first step is listening to what God says about us.

When teaching on Psalm 8, Spurgeon tells us; “The first and last verses are a sweet song of admiration, in which the excellence of the name of God is extolled. The intermediate verses are made up of holy wonder at the Lord's greatness in creation, and at his condescension towards man.”In Matthew 21, Jesus quotes this psalm to the Pharisees, declaring to them once again His identity as God;...when the chief priests and the teachers of the law saw the wonderful things he did and the children shouting in the temple courts, “Hosanna to the Son of David,” they were indignant.  “Do you hear what these children are saying?” they asked him.  “Yes,” replied Jesus, “have you never read, “‘From the lips of children and infants                   you, Lord, have called forth your praise]?” When we take time to read these words slowly and consider the depths of their meaning, we are left in awe of the grandeur of God, His work among us, and His attention towards us.  How majestic indeed is our Lord's character magnified throughout all the earth!Prepare for this week's teaching by reading Psalm 8.

Jesus entered Jerusalem for the final time in His public ministry. This has been historically called Palm Sunday. In this passage, Jesus fulfills what is written in Zechariah 9:9: "Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Jerusalem: Behold thy King cometh unto thee: He is just, and having salvation; lowly, and riding upon an ass, and upon a colt the foal of an ass." As He rides into Jerusalem, the people should Hosanna, which means "Save Now." The problem, they were looking for salvation from Romans occupation and not salvation from their sins and the captivity of Satan.

Hosanna! Mark 11:9-10

What a tragedy confronts the reader in Solomon's defiance of Yahweh's instructions. The record tells us of the foreign wives who corrupted the king (see Nehemiah 13 verses 25-27). Deuteronomy 17 had commanded the kings to write a personal copy the law, which contained commandments on the very matters Solomon contravened - see verses 14-29. And so the kingdom, to a large extent, would be torn from Solomon's son - Rehoboam. The circumstances of the rending of the civil fabric of Israel's society are described in the bulk of the chapter. The kingdom would pass to a diligent, but ambitious servant of Solomon's - whose name was Jeroboam. When this man came to the throne of Israel, also called Ephraim and Samaria he was to set up an idolatrous rival system of worship and is frequently called "the man who made Israel to sin". Solomon's death is recorded and his actions are said to have been written in "the Acts of Solomon".Jeremiah warns the vacillating king Zedekiah to obey his divine Sovereign. The corrupt and vacillating king is told that Judah would receive no help from Pharaoh's army who had returned to Egypt. Chaldean captivity was inevitable and the king and his realm were instructed to submit to Babylon's authority. The Judean princes plot Jeremiah's imprisonment on the false charge of treason, ie supporting the Chaldeans. The prophet is shamefully beaten and imprisoned. Zedekiah sent for Jeremiah and the king, who was fearful of his nobles, and secretly questioned him. However, Jeremiah pleads to be spared by the king. Zedekiah places the prophet in custody and commands that he receives a daily ration of bread from the city's bakery. Jeremiah in his sufferings is a remarkable servant of God and a type of the suffering servant - the Lord Jesus Christ. In the 11th chapter of Mark we read of Jesus' triumphal entry to Jerusalem. He rode on a donkey, a colt the foal of an ass, in fulfilment of the prophecy of Zechariah 9 verse 9 and also that of Genesis 49 verses :10-12. It was an animal that had never been ridden. It seems to suggest that our Lord Jesus would be the ruler/rider of the Gentiles. The crowds strewed their clothes and palm branches before Christ's path, and shouted, 'Hosanna' (save now) as the prophecy predicted. We are additionally told they recited Psalm 118 verses 26. It is recommended that we read Psalm 118 verses 19-29 and meditate on the many messages from that Hallel - or Passover Psalm - this being Passover time. As it was late, our Lord and his Apostles headed to Bethany. The next morning, as they left Bethany, Jesus saw a fig tree that showed promise of early fruit; just like Israel, whose symbol that tree was. But finding no fruit on the tree our Lord cursed it. It was like the fruitless nation: Matthew 21 verses 43 - read and consider the context of these words. That day Jesus cleanses the temple from corruption - the second time see John 2 verses 13-17 this was first done three and a half years earlier at the commencement of our Lord's ministry. That evening Christ returns to Bethany. The next morning the disciples were amazed at the withered tree and our Lord uses the opportunity to tell the power of persistent prayer. Jesus' foes were confounded the following day by his masterful answer on the source of his authority.More here https://christadelphianvideo.org/christadelphian-daily-readings/

August 1, 2025Today's Reading: 1 Samuel 17:1-19Daily Lectionary: 1 Samuel 17:1-19; Acts 26:1-23“David was the youngest. The three eldest followed Saul,but David went back and forth from Saul to feed his father's sheep at Bethlehem.” (1 Samuel 17:14-15)In the Name + of Jesus. Amen. God has a pattern of doing things in ways we least expect. Back in Genesis, who did God choose to be the bearer of the promise despite his not-so-brotherly love and deception? Not the older brother Esau, whom we'd expect, but instead, the younger, trickster brother, Jacob. And when it came time for Jacob to bless his twelve sons, who received the blessing that would carry on the promise of the coming Seed? Not the firstborn Reuben, like we would expect, but the fourth in line, Judah.Fast forward several hundred years later and a few more branches down the Messianic family tree, and you'll find God doing the same unexpected thing, choosing the same unlikely people to carry out his plan of salvation. This time, in 1 Samuel, it's David who was chosen by God, first to destroy Goliath, and then, later on, to become king. When God sent Samuel to anoint a new king, once again, he did something unexpected. God didn't choose the oldest son of Jesse, but the youngest. A shepherd boy. Taking no armor with him into battle - an unexpected military maneuver, and using a rather unlikely - but deadly - weapon, David struck down Goliath. And later on, this unlikely shepherd boy became the shepherd king of Israel. And yet, God's unexpected ways of accomplishing his salvation don't stop with David. David's Son and David's Lord carries on in the ancient tradition as God in the flesh continues to do unlikely things in unexpected ways, many of which mirror the first David. Jesus, the Son of David, is born in the city of David, Bethlehem. Jesus, like David, is anointed, not by Samuel, but by water and the appearance of the Holy Spirit, and the voice of the Father in the Jordan River. Jesus, like David says in Psalm 23, truly is the Good Shepherd who lays down his life for the sheep. Jesus, like David, slays his enemies in the most unlikely and unexpected way. Not with five smooth stones, but with four nails, a wooden cross, and one stone rolled away on the third day. Jesus, the Son of David, continues his unexpected ways of bringing salvation to you as well. He takes ordinary water and washes away sin. He speaks his word and forgiveness through fellow sinners. He puts his Body and Blood in bread and wine, where the cup of his grace overflows. God's pattern of doing things may be unexpected, but his ways are full of grace, mercy, and goodness which follow us all the days of our lives.In the Name + of Jesus. Amen.Hail! Hosanna, David's Son! Jesus, hear our supplication! Let Thy kingdom, scepter, crown, Bring us blessing and salvation, That forever we may sing; Hail! Hosanna to our King. (LSB 350:4)Rev. Samuel Schuldheisz, pastor of Beautiful Savior Lutheran Church in Milton, WA.Audio Reflections Speaker: Pastor Jonathan Lackey is the pastor at Grace Lutheran Church, Vine Grove, KY.Step back in time to the late Reformation and learn about a divisive yet inspirational figure: Matthias Flacius Illyricus. His contributions to Lutheranism still echo in our teachings today, from the Magdeburg Confession to parts of the Lutheran Confessions.

Sometimes the Jesus we want isn't the Jesus we get. As Jesus begins His journey to the cross, He reveals His true identity—and it demands a response. The crowds shout “Hosanna,” hoping for the kind of king they expected. But Jesus came not just to save, but to rule. His Lordship means dethroning ourselves and surrendering fully to Him. From the fig tree that appeared alive but bore no fruit, to the temple He cleared with righteous authority, Jesus exposes spiritual hypocrisy and calls us to full submission. He is King, Judge, and Lord of all—and when we welcome Him in, He comes with authority, ready to purify our hearts and realign our lives with His mission and His ways. That purification may bring disruption, but it's a holy disruption—a reordering of our lives under His rule. It challenges us to ask: does Jesus have access to every area of our lives—our time, our resources, our giftings—or are we still holding the reins?You can join our OneLife Sunday morning gatherings via livestream at 8:45am and 10;30am CST every Sunday morning.

Welcome to The Daily, where we study the Bible verse by verse, chapter by chapter, every day. Today's shout-out goes to Mark Hardison from Murfreesboro, TN. Thank you for standing with us in Project23. You're helping lead people into the Word, one day at a time. This one's for you. Our text today is Mark 11:1-11: Now when they drew near to Jerusalem, to Bethphage and Bethany, at the Mount of Olives, Jesus sent two of his disciples and said to them, “Go into the village in front of you, and immediately as you enter it you will find a colt tied, on which no one has ever sat. Untie it and bring it. If anyone says to you, ‘Why are you doing this?' say, ‘The Lord has need of it and will send it back here immediately.'” And they went away and found a colt tied at a door outside in the street, and they untied it. And some of those standing there said to them, “What are you doing, untying the colt?” And they told them what Jesus had said, and they let them go. And they brought the colt to Jesus and threw their cloaks on it, and he sat on it. And many spread their cloaks on the road, and others spread leafy branches that they had cut from the fields. And those who went before and those who followed were shouting, “Hosanna! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord! Blessed is the coming kingdom of our father David! Hosanna in the highest!” And he entered Jerusalem and went into the temple. And when he had looked around at everything, as it was already late, he went out to Bethany with the twelve.  — Mark 11:1-11 If Jesus wanted to signal war, he would've come on a stallion. But he chose a donkey. Why? Because the King had come, but not to conquer Rome. He came to conquer sin. This wasn't weakness. It was fulfillment. Zechariah 9:9 had prophesied it: “Behold, your king is coming… humble and mounted on a donkey.” Everything Jesus did was intentional. A war horse meant judgment. A donkey meant peace. That's the kind of King he is. Powerful enough to destroy, but humble enough to save. The people were shouting “Hosanna!”—but most of them missed what Jesus was really doing. They wanted political rescue. He came for spiritual rescue. Presently, they cheered him in as a hero. Days later, many would cry, “Crucify him.” Why? Because he didn't meet their expectations. He didn't take their side. He took over. But most still want "war horse" Jesus. We want him to charge in and fix our culture, correct our problems, defend our comfort, and affirm our plans. But he comes on a donkey—lowly, interrupting our assumptions and calling us to die to ourselves. He's not interested in sharing the throne of your heart with your politics, your preferences, or your personal agenda. Jesus doesn't just want a place in your life—he demands preeminence over it. So here's the call to action today: Are you cheering Jesus on Sunday but living for yourself by Monday? Are you praising the King with your lips but resisting his rule in your habits, finances, relationships, or priorities? Don't settle for a “safe” Savior who never challenges your comfort. That's not the real Jesus. Submit to the Lord of Lords, and bow to the King of Kings. #HumbleKing, #JesusIsKing, #Mark11 ASK THIS: Why is Jesus' choice of a donkey so surprising? What kind of King were the people expecting? Where are you tempted to treat Jesus like a helper, not a ruler? What would it look like to welcome him on his terms? DO THIS: Where am I expecting Jesus to ride in and fix something—when he's actually calling me to surrender something? PRAY THIS: Jesus, you came in humility when I expected force. Forgive me for trying to use you instead of following you. I welcome you as my King. Amen. PLAY THIS: “King of Kings.”

Up tothis point Jesus had three unfair trials before the Jews; before Annas, thefather-in-law of the high priest Caiaphas, and also Caiaphas at his house, andthen before the Sanhedrin. Now, in the early morning hours between six and nineo'clock on Friday morning, Jesus is taken before Pilate. Pilate has his firsttrial with Jesus and finds no fault in Him after questioning Him personally inthe Praetorium. Pilate sent Jesus to King Herod Antipas where Jesus is againquestioned, mock and ridiculed. Jesus is silent and does not respond to Herod whothen sends Him back to Pilate (v. 11). Inthese verses, 13-25, Pilate proves to be a coward. It is interesting to note thatmany Christian sources describe Pilate as “the model of a coward” who knew thecrucifixion was wrong but acted out of fear of political repercussions, such aslosing favor with Emperor Tiberius or inciting a riot. C.S. Lewis is referencedin these sources, suggesting Pilate represents “men without chests”—peopleunwilling to pursue truth, leading to cowardice and injustice. The fact thatHerod backed Pilate's decision would not have impressed the Jews very much,because they despised Herod almost as much as they despised the Romans. WhenJesus is returned to Pilate he again meets with the Jewish leaders andannounced for the second time that he did not find Jesus guilty of the chargesthey had made against Him (vv. 13-15). Since it was customary at Passover forthe governor to release a prisoner, Pilate offered the Jews a compromise: hewould chastise Jesus and let Him go. He had another prisoner on hand, Barabbas,but Pilate was sure the Jews would not want him to be released. After all,Barabbas was a robber (John 18:40), a murderer, and an insurrectionist (Luke23:19). He may have been a leader of the Jewish Zealots who at that time wasworking for the overthrow of Rome. Severaltimes Luke notes that it is the chief priest and rulers of the people that aredemanding that Christ is guilty and should be crucified. We must not think thatthe general populace of the city was gathered before Pilate and crying out forthe blood of Jesus, though a curious crowd no doubt gathered. It was primarilythe official religious leaders of the nation, the chief priests in particular(Luke 23:23), who shouted Pilate down and told him to crucify Jesus. To saythat the same people who cried "Hosanna!" on Palm Sunday ended upcrying "Crucify Him!" on Good Friday is not completely accurate. Finally,after vacillating back and forth and at least three times proclaiming Jesus tobe innocence, Pilate realized that his mishandling of the situation had almostcaused a riot, and a Jewish uprising was the last thing he wanted duringPassover. So, he called for water and washed his hands before the crowd,affirming his innocence (Matt. 27:24-25). Pilate proves to be a compromiser anda coward, who was "willing to content the people" (Mark 15:15).Barabbas was released and Jesus was condemned to die on a Roman cross. Pilatewas a complex character. He openly said that Jesus was innocent, yet hepermitted Him to be beaten and condemned Him to die. He carefully questionedJesus and even trembled at His answers, but the truth of the Word did not makea difference in his decisions. He wanted to be popular and not right; he wasmore concerned about reputation than he was character. What a sad state to bein! We must be careful that we don't follow in his footsteps.  Itwould also be good for us to remember what Jesus said in Mark 8:35-38, “Forwhoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life forMy sake and the gospel's will save it. For what will it profit a man if hegains the whole world, and loses his own soul? Or what will a man give inexchange for his soul? For whoever is ashamed of Me and My words in thisadulterous and sinful generation, of him the Son of Man also will be ashamedwhen He comes in the glory of His Father with the holy angels."

Originally Released July 4 2023Saddleback Church Content Development Pastor Jason Wieland is joined by author, teacher, and spoken word artist Hosanna Wong for a conversation around identity in Christ and how to adopt the rhythms of Jesus. One of the most fundamental questions of life is Who Am I? and, in Christian circles, we are often rushed to answer that our identity is in Christ. But how do we really find out what this means and, even when we do feel connected to Jesus, how do we keep that connection? This conversation addresses these questions and dives deep into looking at four rhythms or spiritual disciplines that you can begin adopting in your own life. Hosanna Wong is an international speaker, best-selling author and spoken word artist helping everyday people know Jesus for real. Widely known for her spoken word piece, "I Have A New Name," Hosanna shares in churches, conferences, prisons, and other events around the world, reaching across various denominations, backgrounds and cultures.Born and raised in an urban ministry on the streets of San Francisco, Hosanna later packed her life into suitcases and traveled to churches and other ministries throughout the United States to share about Jesus through spoken word poetry. During those years without a permanent home, she began speaking and creating resources to serve the local and global Church.Hosanna currently travels and speaks year-round, and serves on teaching teams at churches throughout the United States. She and her husband, Guy serve together in various ministries equipping people with tools to share the gospel of Jesus in today's world.Hosanna is the best-selling author of How (Not) to Save the World and You Are More Than You've Been Told. Doable Discipleship is a Saddleback Church podcast produced and hosted by Jason Wieland.

Yes!  You are in!  Bill Bohline is back!  Some of you ask who is Bill Bohline?  Well, one of my favorite teachers ever.  And he has a mic drop for you and me.  Check this out...here you go...Thank you Pastor Bill Bohline and Hosanna Church in Lakeville and several campuses around the south metro of the Twin Cities of Minnesota.  That was my home church for about 20 years until God called me to the mission field of Crazy Cali.  My family and community was blessed with that teacher for over 20 years.  He is gifted and anointed.  He's not perfect and what a leader to even mention that in that message, in fact, I encourage you to listen to that entire message, you can find it right here by clicking on the link below in the show description...https://www.youtube.com/live/-2fZ4O9fC74?si=_2xxpvmblWzTW5GwBonus listen, Bill actually has his own episode right here as he graciously allowed me to interview him, click on the link below in show description to listen to that one...https://www.fridudes.com/podcast/episode/801da61f/bill-bohlineOk listeners, odds are if you are listening to this that you are believers in Jesus Christ.  Some of you are not sure and I sincerely thank you for even listening and being open to a better way.  Some of you have been believers for a long time.  So let's go back to Bill's point.  If you have been married for a really long time and you never mention your wife...that's a problem.  As you get to know me better and I never mention my wife of 30 years, Lori, that is a problem.  Do you recall in my previous episode where I said we are ALL "Religious" in something(s).  I also said if you give me about 10 minutes I can tell you where you are religious.  If you ask me what I do for a living, that tells me you are religious with work and money.  If you are wearing a Patriots hat, that tells me you are into football.  If you are getting distracted and looking at beautiful women while we are talking or your phone, you are showing your cards.  If you never mentioned Jesus Christ and what he has done in your life, that's a problem and flag.  Matthew 10:32 (NLT)“Everyone who acknowledges me publicly here on earth, I will also acknowledge before my Father in heaven.Matthew 10:33 (NLT)But everyone who denies me here on earth, I will also deny before my Father in heaven.Scary verses!  They are in there.  Those are two of them and they should be like smelling salts for some of you.How can we be followers of Christ, married to Christ?  Without ever mentioning Him?  Not reading his love letters?  The Word?  You get the point.  Conviction is a blessing.  We all need 'areas for improvement' to flash up on our dashboard.Pray on it.  God will tee you up.  

Welcome to Wellspring Church!Who is the Kingdom of God for? This week, Pastor Katie Gayle brings us to Matthew 21 and the Parable of the Tenants to explore Jesus' provocative answer.As Jesus nears the cross, his final teachings zero in on authority—his own authority as King, and how people respond to it. Through this parable and its surrounding context, we discover a clear call: the Kingdom of God is not inherited by position or appearance, but received through surrender and lived out in fruitfulness.

Podcast Guest: Andrew NewlandMost People Don't… Look at Themselves as the Problem and Do Whatever It Takes to ChangeEpisode Summary:Andrew Newland, founder of Functional Medicine Marketing, opens up with raw honesty and resilience. In this conversation, we explore his journey from desperation and self-doubt to business success and self-awareness. His story embodies the truth that most people don't persist, most people don't do the work to change their thinking, and most people don't look at themselves as the problem—but Andrew did.

Today is Memorial Day. Have you ever noticed we don't say“Happy Memorial Day”? During Christmas time we might say, “Merry Christmas” or “happyholidays” and so forth as we celebrate the season. But we don't celebrate MemorialDay. Memorial Day is not a day to be happy; it's a day to remember the greatsacrifice many made so that we might live in a free country.  Itrust today that you'll take time to remember that freedom is not free. Overone million people in our country paid the price of giving their own lives.They made the ultimate sacrifice. “Greater love has no man than this, than aman lay down his life for his friends.” These people laid down their lives fortheir friends, their family, their country, and their God.  Americais a great place to live. With all the problems, difficulties, divisions, andstrife we might have, it's still the greatest place on planet Earth that Godhas blessed us with to be citizens in and live in. The freedom we enjoy is notfree; a great price was paid for it. We need to remember that today. Today takethe time to go to a memorial service. I'll be going to one this morning withsome local veterans and active military guys right here in my own neighborhood.There are other services in your community that you can choose to attend. Please,in some way today, remember and take time to honor those who died for ourfreedom. If you know someone or a family that gave a son or daughter to serviceand maybe sacrificed their life, give them a call. You can let them know you'rethinking about them today. You can pray for them, and take that time toremember. It'sinteresting to note how this ties in to what we are studying here we are inLuke chapter 19. Jesus has already told us that He has come to seek and to savethat which was lost. For Jesus to seek and to save that which was lost, He hadto die. He had to die on an old rugged cross. He had to pay the ultimatesacrifice. He had to lay down His life for His friends, and He did that for youand for me.  Oh,my friend, what a great sacrifice Jesus made. Did you ever think of thedifference between the sacrifice Jesus made, and the soldiers and those in ourmilitary made as they laid down their lives for our country. Yes they made theultimate sacrifice for our freedom. But what kind of freedom is that? Thefreedom to live in homes we want to live in, work jobs we want to work, gowhere we want to go, travel as we like to travel. We're free to choose ourvocations. There are so many things we are free to do.  ButJesus didn't die to set us free to do what we want to do. Jesus died to set usfree to be able to do what we ought to do!  And that is to live a life that honors,glorifies, and pleases Him and to enjoy the fullness of life—eternal life, Godliving within us. Oh, my friend, Jesus paid that sacrifice so we could be freefrom the guilt, the shame, the penalty, and the power of sin over us! We areset free by His sacrifice to do what is right and good. We are free to forgive othersbecause we have been forgiven! We're looking at Luke 19, the very last verses of the chapter.Thisis interesting, and we'll talk more about this tomorrow, but I believe this istaking place on Monday morning. Remember, on Sunday morning, Jesus rode intoJerusalem on a colt, a donkey, and as He rode in, the people celebrated, cheeredand yelled, “Hosanna in the Highest.” Jesus wept over the city. And then Jesusgoes back to Bethany where He spends the night. The next morning, Mondaymorning, Jesus goes into the temple to cleanse it. Just like we have ourproblems in America today, they had their problems in Jerusalem in those days.Jesus denounced the wickedness and the evil of the religious leaders who wereusing the temple to make money. Oh, my friend, not much has changed over theyears. We will talk more about this tomorrow. 

It's just Andrew in the studio today with Frank in his new home studio, as Tim is off doing real ministry—preaching in chapel at Trinity College (we're so proud). Meanwhile, Andrew wraped up the "Giving Up" sermon series at Safety Harbor and in Lakeview Land Frank pressed pause on 1 Corinthians to wave some palm branches and shout "Hosanna!"Plus, big news from Frank's church plant—a fresh new logo has dropped, and a merch launch is coming next week! Hoodies, hats, maybe even coffee mugs holy enough for your Monday morning caffeine needs.As always, we talk all things Sunday recap, sermon prep, and surviving the holy chaos of ministry life.

Jesus enters Jerusalem riding on a donkey. Crowds wave palm branches and cry out “Hosanna!”—recognizing the arrival of the promised King. Every movement fulfills prophecy. Every word points to divine purpose.This Palm Sunday message draws attention to: The significance of the palm branches and shouts of praise The symbolism of Jesus riding a donkey in gentleness and authority The invitation for all people to follow the Light and walk in truth The weight of Jesus' mission as He prepares to be lifted up Scriptures: Matthew 21:1–9, John 12:12–19, Zechariah 9:9, Revelation 7:9, John 12:20–50This reflection centers hearts on Jesus as the victorious King, humble Savior, and eternal Light.

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.

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.

So they took branches of palm trees and went out to meet him, shouting, “Hosanna!

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
