Ein Song wie ein apokalyptisches Manifest und zugleich eine persönliche Rettungsleine. Tauche mit dem Journalisten, Autor und Dozenten Thomas Dahl ein in die wuchtige Welt von „Hosannas from the Basements of Hell“ von Killing Joke aus dem Jahr 2006. Warum übt gerade dieser düstere, kompromisslose Track eine solche Faszination aus? Und wie kann Musik über weltpolitische Spannungen, zivilisatorischen Zerfall und menschliche Selbstzerstörung Kraft spenden? In dieser Episode von „Mein Lieblingssong“ erzählt Thomas, warum gerade dieser Song für ihn mehr ist als nur ein sehr geräuschvolles Statement. Zwischen apokalyptischen Visionen und brachialen Gitarren entfaltet sich eine Klangwelt, die nicht tröstet, sondern konfrontiert. Ein Stück, das den Zustand der Welt seziert – und gerade dadurch Halt geben kann. Wir sprechen über die Wucht, die dieser Song beinhaltet, und über die Frage, warum manche Songs uns gerade dann auffangen, wenn sie selbst vom Abgrund und der Apokalypse erzählen. Was macht einen Song, der von Endzeitstimmung durchzogen ist, zu einem persönlichen Hoffnungsträger? Hör rein und entdecke, wie aus einem Lobgesang aus der Hölle ein Soundtrack der Stärke werden kann.Passend zu dieser Folge von "Mein Lieblingsong" ist die Folge 87 mit unserem Gast Thomas Manegold, der mit uns über seinen Lieblingssong „Hunger Strike“ von Temple Of The Dog spricht.Höre deinen Lieblings-Podcast und deine Lieblingsmusik doch einfach auf einem sonoro Musiksystem.Das sonoro MEISTERSTÜCK und viele andere Produkte aus der sonoro Klangschmiede findet ihr hier: sonoro.comKonzerte, Lesungen, Theater, Comedy, Kunst und vieles mehr gibt es im beliebten Hinterhofsalon im Herzen Kölns.

1. Marvelous 2. God-Ordained 3. Parental-Influenced The sermon centers on the divine significance of children's praise during Jesus' triumphal entry into Jerusalem, highlighting how their Hosannas confessed Christ's divinity and messianic identity, despite their limited understanding. It emphasizes that this praise was not merely spontaneous but divinely ordained from eternity, rooted in God's covenantal promise to include children in His worship, as affirmed by Jesus' reference of Psalm 8:2, where God perfects praise from the mouths of babes. The passage also underscores the influence of parental faith, showing how children naturally reflect the spiritual atmosphere of their homes, urging believers to model genuine worship so that their children may echo heartfelt praise, not mere repetition. The sermon concludes with a call to intentional, authentic Christian living, where parents' consistent worship and confession become the foundation for their children's salvation, and where even the simplest expressions of faith can silence spiritual adversaries through God's sovereign design.

In this heartfelt post-Easter episode of the Double Edged Sword Podcast, we sit down together and walk through the sacred journey of Holy Week — from the final days of Lent to the glorious morning of the Resurrection.Join us as we remember:The closing of the Forty Days with the raising of LazarusPalm Sunday's joyful Hosannas as we welcomed our KingThe Mystical Supper where we received Christ's true Body and BloodThe solemn sorrow of Passion Friday as we carried the CrossAnd the triumphant victory on Resurrection Sunday when death was defeated forever!With Scripture and honest reflection, we talk about humbling ourselves in fasting, serving one another, weeping over our sins, and then rising with fresh hope because our Lord is alive.Even when we stumble and fall back into old ways, our risen Savior is always ready to welcome us home with open arms.If you need encouragement, renewed faith, or a fresh reminder of the power of the Resurrection, this episode is for you.Christ is risen! Indeed He is risen! Glory be to His holy name, now and forever. Amen.

Preached by Pastor Jared Kress on March 29, 2026. Main Idea: Jesus began Holy Week with the well-deserved shout of loud “Hosannas,” only to have the Pharisees try to silence the praise. Jesus, however, was on a path that could not be stopped. His name will be praised!Challenge:  Will you join in the shout of loud “Hosanna” praise to Jesus? Will you engage with those who seek to cover up and rebuke that praise?   In the Triumphal Entry, we see:1. A Deserved Reception2. An Attempted Suppression3. An Inevitable Praise----Join us in person Sundays at 10:30am at 6325 Poplar Ave, Memphis TN or online at https://www.kirbywoods.org/live. Follow us online! Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/kirbywoodsmemphis Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/kirbywoodsmemphis YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@kirbywoods Podcast: https://kirbywoodspodcast.buzzsprout.com

Does your faith depend on your circumstances, or is it built to last?In this Palm Sunday message, we explore the stark contrast between the joyful "Hosannas" of Sunday and the "Crucify him!" of Friday. Why did the same crowd that climbed trees and laid down cloaks for Jesus abandon Him just five days later?The answer lies in the "Palm Sunday Problem": the crowd focused on what Jesus could do for their bodies, while Jesus came to save their souls. When the miracles stopped and the "earthly prosperity" didn't arrive, their commitment withered.In this sermon, you will learn:* The Marriage vs. Wedding Faith: Why starting a journey with joy is easy, but finishing it requires a different kind of endurance.* The Miracle-Free Reality: How to navigate the seasons of life where prayers seem unanswered and pain remains unresolved.* The Three Great Miracles of Holy Week: Discover why the forgiveness of Thursday, the debt paid on Friday, and the empty tomb of Sunday are infinitely greater than any physical healing.* The Secret of "Palms Up": A challenge to praise God not just for the gifts He gives, but for who He is—even in the valley and the desert."Jesus never promised an easy life, but He did promise it would be worth it." Whether you are walking through a season of comfort or a season of trauma, learn how to keep your palms up for the King who refused to come down from the cross for you.

On Palm Sunday, Vanessa Maleare confronts the feelings of sadness, disappointment, and frustration we experience when something is different than we anticipated. Jesus didn't act like the violent warrior king many of the people anticipated. What do you do when you face unmet expectations? Vanessa invites us to choose how we respond by realizing that “I can change what I do next.”   Belonging in the Wilderness lays bare the tension between our vulnerable humanity… our desire to simply be, without hustling for worthiness or trying to fit in… and our longing for Beloved Community with our friends, family, neighbors, enemies, creation, and our Creator. The wilderness is an unavoidable part of this journey. It is where we abandon the game of dressing up like our mythical heroes and begin to uncover the mystery of our one wild and true self.  A life so rooted in Divine Love, we find ourselves simultaneously set apart and intimately connected to God's global family. We rarely choose to go to the wilderness, where all our distractions and pretense evaporate. Yet the wilderness invites us to live together for what really matters, because here there is energy for little else. There are no shortcuts in the wilderness. It is a solitary journey, which we cannot walk alone.     Reflection Questions: Have I been radically disappointed lately?  I can't change the past, but what will I do next?  What this week, imagine yourself saving your own “Hosannas,” “Save me from injustice,” or “Save me from this toxic relationship [with cookie dough].” 

Pastor Stephen Lee shared from Matthew 21:1-9 about Jesus coming to answer all of our Hosannas.

Pastor Stephen Lee shared from Matthew 21:1-9 about Jesus coming to answer all of our Hosannas.

From our Matthew series we know that the "hosannas" on Palm Sunday were severly tainted with wrong motives. This morning, we build on that by going back to the original psalm the crowd was quotingPsalm 118seeing what it mean originally, how they took it, and how their lesson connects to us still today.

Palm Sunday is supposed to feel like triumph. Palms waving. Hosannas shouting. But Matthew says the whole city was troubled. Shaking. And nobody could quite answer the question. Who is this? That tension, the beauty and the ache mingled together, that is glittering sadness. And there is a king who rides straight into the middle of it.   Matthew 21:1-11 | Philippians 2:5-11

As we gather for Palm Sunday, we recall Jesus' entry into Jerusalem: triumphant, yet understated. The shouts of praise were soon revealed to be half-hearted, as are so many of ours. Study Philippians 2:5-11 to see Jesus' wholehearted approach.

She still bears the mental scars to prove it. The emotional bruises --which cause constant pain -- led her into a string of failed relationships. Sex and partying were her hope -- but they failed her -- leaving her lonelier than ever before. But one day she read a book that promised her it didn't have to be that way. The author had discovered the secret of life -- through "positive thinking." With meditation techniques and the centering of her soul, she now succeeds in ascending to a communion with the greater divinity that is all around her and all inside of her. Carol believes you can be good and "find god."Carl started drinking in high school. At first it was just at parties, but by the time he dropped out of college his sophomore year, he was carrying a flask wherever he went. Broke and despairing, he hit rock bottom. But then one day a friend told him that it wasn't too late to discover his purpose in life. He only needed to learn how to look for it. He followed a counselor's fivefold path to enlightenment and was able to set right goals for himself. He got cleaned up. He found work. He tells people that if he cleaned up his act, they can, too. Carl believes you can "find god" and be good.Carol and Carl sound like people we know. They even sound a little like us. Who could argue with bettering yourself and becoming a benefit to society? All you have to do is focus on the greater good, focus on the inner self, focus on being good. People like you better when you're good. The kind of goodness that's easy for the world to judge. The kind of goodness that doesn't discriminate whether you are a Christian, a Jew, a Hindu or a Wiccan. So, then it doesn't matter which god you find, as long as you're good.This all sounds great, doesn't it? Being good, for goodness' sake? But this kind of goodness -- being good, looking good, acting good -- is not the only goodness there is. More important, it's not even the best kind of goodness there is. Not only is it weak, coming and going with the moment, but as much as we pursue it, we never seem capable of reaching it completely. This is because we're missing the better kind of goodness.This is an outlook toward goodness that infects all of us. For example, teens sincerely want to be better people. They want to tick off their parents less, roll their eyes at their teachers fewer times, and be nicer to their siblings. And they can ... for a while. But then the back talk, the eye rolls, and the disparaging remarks come back with full vengeance. Why? Because their focus is all wrong. They're focusing on their goodness instead of their God.As an employee, you want to be humble in the workplace, but then the loud braggarts get all the praises and raises. As a spouse, you want to put the needs of your spouse ahead of your own, but then you feel like you're being taken advantage of by the person you love most in the world. As a retiree, you still want to lead a productive life, but you're just so tired and bored all the time. As a citizen, you want to get along with people in the other political party, but their political stance is just so stupid. We try to be good, apart from God's goodness.Whether we're children or adults, whether we're Christians or pagans, we tend to believe that if we just concentrate more and work harder, then we'll rid ourselves of all those bad things that keep dragging us down into the muck and mire. But we can't. Fellow sinners, as we stand on the precipice of Holy Week, we must see that we cannot do anything to make ourselves better. Sin is not just what we do or fail to do. Sin is part of who we are.We cannot overcome sin by working harder or concentrating more or finding goodness within ourselves. There's only one way to throw off everything that hinders and throw away the sin that so easily entangles. That's Jesus. Rather than focusing on ourselves, focusing on shaping up our lives, focusing on our goodness, we have a better focus -- Jesus Christ, the author and perfecter of our faith.There's a better kind of goodness, but it's not of this world. It's not the goodness of what you or I do, but the goodness of who we are made to be in Christ Jesus. The source of this goodness is always and only the one true God and whom he says we are in relation to him.One of the first lessons taught in children's swimming classes is what to do in an emergency. When a swimmer gets a cramp and begins to drown, the lifeguard will dive in and pull the swimmer out. But in that saving act there is one thing the drowning swimmer must absolutely never do. Once the lifeguard has him, he must stop trying to swim. If he doesn't -- if he thrashes about insisting he can somehow save himself, or even help at all in the rescue -- he'll not only succeed in drowning but will drown the lifeguard, too.This is what the original sinner must learn to believe. The thrashing arms of the drowning sinner are the attempts to make those good things the source of salvation, whether in whole or in part. Pursuing civil, active goodness will not drown your faith. But insisting this lesser goodness is what real, ultimate goodness is all about, certainly will.This is the theology on which Christianity lives or dies. It's the total reversal of everything that is taught in our world. To natural mankind and natural religion, to the mind of original sin, it makes no sense. It is an affront to pride and glory and everything important about Me. It is the proclamation that about Me needs to die. About Me must be killed, crucified, and buried -- and all this has already happened in the body of Jesus Christ.Bursting forth from the tomb on the third day, it is the Christ in Christianity that changes everything. Now, religion is not about doing but about being done. Now you are free to never need to find God, to never need to please God, to never need to explain yourself to God. In Jesus, God has found you. In Jesus, God is already pleased with you. In Jesus' words, God explains yourself to you -- both your old self and your new self -- both killed and raised with Christ. In Jesus, God finds you, washes you, and feeds you with himself, purging your sins and redeeming your soul.This is the only theology that frees you to not have to be about Me. Though you are never free from the imperfections and weaknesses and sins that so easily entangle, Christianity creates in you a you that is no longer focused inward.We may not like to admit it, but you and I love to look inward. We would rather be energized with works of our own doing than be bored with the forgiveness of sins that is all God's doing. We flee from theology of Law and Gospel, believing that we can overcome if we just try harder, do more, get better. We hunger for the approval of the world and ignore the approval of God that is ours in Christ. With this kind of understanding, the Church is nothing more than a worldwide reformatory school and our Sunday School is nothing more than lessons that promote ethical behavior.But how different when we open our eyes to focus on Jesus, "the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God" (Hebrews 12:2). Look away from yourself for a moment and really look at the One who became flesh to furnish your salvation. He's the One who authors and continues to bring your faith to perfection. From A to Z, he is both the object and the cause of our faith, giving us something to believe, and the faith to do so.Jesus "endured the cross." The cross with its torture and curse was no light load for our Lord, but he held up under it. The shame involved was far outweighed by the joy he found in completing the work of salvation and sitting down in triumph at God's right hand. Jesus went through all the pain, all the suffering, all the entanglements of this world ... for us. The cross and the tomb were all for us.When your eyes are opened by the fact that because of what Jesus has done for you, you do won't need to spend your days and nights justifying yourself to God. For the first time, you can stop looking at Me, take a gander around, and pay attention to where you really are. With eyes fixed on what Jesus, your eyes are opened to see you are not the only one kneeling at the foot of Christ's cross. There are other sinners here, too -- men, women and children, just like you -- trapped by the inbred need to justify ourselves, but freed by Christ to believe we are already justified in him.The author reminds us, "Since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us get rid of every burden and the sin that so easily ensnares us, and let us run with patient endurance the race that is laid out for us" (Hebrews 12:1). These men, women, and children who are all around you are the great cloud of witnesses who surround us. They are all around us to run the race of life with us. They have fallen and you can help them get up. When you fall, they'll help you up. Alongside all of us is Jesus, who is matching each of us stride for stride. He's by our side to lift us up, to speak words of encouragement, to help us to our ultimate goal -- not being good, but being made good in him.Take your eyes off yourself. Repent. Look at Jesus. He is the much better focus. The author encourages, "Carefully consider him who endured such hostility against himself from sinful people, so that you do not grow weary and lose heart" (Hebrews 12:3).The object of our Christian faith is Jesus -- the person, work, and words of Jesus. Jesus -- the God-man born in Bethlehem, raised in Egypt and Nazareth, and testified by his enemies as a miracle-worker. Jesus, who rode into Jerusalem on a donkey, who was cheered by the crowd and jeered by the mob, who was betrayed by one friend and deserted by the rest of his friends, who was crucified by the Roman governor, and buried in a sealed tomb. This is the hostility Jesus endured from sinful people. Yet, three days later, the eternal heir to the Hebrew King David's greater throne was seen alive once again.Brothers and sisters, always focus on Jesus. Today we begin that special Holy Week where we can focus on Jesus coming to us in his Sacrament on Holy Thursday; his dying our death on Good Friday; his Sabbath rest in the tomb during the Easter Vigil; and then his glorious resurrection on Easter morning. You cannot find God out there. You cannot find God in here (yourself). You find God in his Word and Sacraments. That is his triumphal entry into your life. Throw down your cloaks. Wave your palm branches. Shout your Hosannas to the Lord. You find God in his Son, Jesus Christ.Today, this week, and throughout the race of your life, take your eyes off yourself. There is a better focus, a better goodness, a better Savior. Amen.

A new MP3 sermon from VCY America is now available on SermonAudio with the following details: Title: Hosannas Forever: Hymns of Heaven Subtitle: Crosstalk America Speaker: Jim Schneider Broadcaster: VCY America Event: Current Events Date: 8/5/2025 Length: 53 min.

David & Barbara Leeman founded Hosanna Hymnals to preserve and introduce classic hymns of the church to a new generation. Barbara taught private piano and classroom music and served 23 years at a Christian school in Texas. David served over 40 years as minister of music and worship at churches in California, Oregon, Illinois & Texas. They are co-authors of Hosannas Forever: Hymns of Heaven and our Pilgrimage. To open the program, Jim noted the appreciation so many VCY listeners have for the traditional, sacred music played on the network. Such music is often comprised of hymns and spiritual songs that direct our hearts to the Lord as we praise Him for who He is and His wonderful works. So while Christian music can cover a broad range of doctrinal and theological topics, unfortunately in the church at large, hymnody has fallen out of favor in our day. Why is this? It may be because we have it so easy in our day whereas hymns were often written out of trials, suffering, longing and need. There's the fact that Christian music today is often derived primarily from the writer's emotions. Then there's the factor of commercialism. As these factors have affected Christian music, guess what got left out? It's the topic of heaven. Review this broadcast and find out what your personal and corporate worship may be missing as David and Barbara describe the tremendous blessing that comes from singing the hymns of heaven!

In Matthew 21 Jesus' triumphant entry into Jerusalem was accompanied by shouts of "Hosannas" (save now). Matthew tells us that this was in fulfilment of the prophecy of Zechariah, in the 9th chapter. The prophecy of Zechariah contrasts Alexander the Great, bringing death and destruction; with Jesus the lowly bring salvation. The next citation in Matthew - "Blessed is he that comes in the name of the LORD" ie Yahweh - comes from Psalm 118 verse 26 (but note Messiah's mindset from the context from the entire Psalm). The rulers were in indignation with the multitude and asked Jesus to rebuke them. Our Lord's response was to refer them to Psalm 8 the LXX version, which spoke of what was happening and the victory being accomplished. Next in the chapter came the curse of a fig tree, which like Israel, showed the false promise of apparent fruitfulness. It was cursed by Jesus. The next day the disciples witnessed that the tree had immediately withered. This was followed by Jesus demonstration that his authority was unquestionably from God. After this came the parable of the two sons - firstly the rulers said that they were doing the Father's will, but lord; in contrast the commoners knew they were sinning, but sincerely repeated. Lastly the chapter concludes with the parable of the unfaithful tenants. The rulers recognising themselves in the story fulfilled it to the letter by immediately taking counsel to destroy Jesus.

In 2 Samuel 4 we have two incidents that are related to the house of Saul. One of these concerned Saul's son - Ishbosheth - and the other about Saul's grandson - Mephibosheth. The first (Ishbosheth) speaks of an assassination by two wicked men. The second of restoring to favour of Mephibosheth - Jonathan's son - an act of kindness in fulfilment of the covenant faithfully made in love between the two great friends David and Jonathan. Verse 4 tells us how Mephibosheth became lame. Verses 5-7 describe the stealth and guile of Baanah and Rechab, who had been captains of Saul's raiders, as they planned and executed the slaying of Ishbosheth. In verse 8 these two men present David with Ishbosheth's head. In verses 9-12 we are told of David's anger towards these two opportunists and their execution and the hanging of these two disgraced criminals. 2 Samuel 5 verses 1-5 describes David's being crowned at age 30 over all Israel and tells us that he reigned for 40 years. Verses 6-10 speak of the capture of Jerusalem from the Jebusites by a valiant Joab in a great act of strength and courage. This now becomes the city of David and Joab earns for himself restoration to the head of David's army. Verses 11-12 inform us that David advises Hiram king of Tyre of David's becoming Israel's king. Verses 13-16 speak of David's accumulation of more concubines and wives. Verses 17-25 says that with divine help and guidance David is given two miraculous victories in major battles over the Philistines. Then in obedience to his God he continued to strike down the Philistines. Truly Saul had slain his thousands, but David his ten thousands.  In Jeremiah 10 Yahweh is contrasted with the dumb and useless idols of the heathen and declared to be the true and living God. The nations are dismayed by the lightning, the thunder, earthquakes etc and yet they fail to see the Almighty power of the Creator of these phenomena. Verses 2-5 tell of the impotence of an idol to do anything. There is great irony in the prophet's graphic word pictures here. The prophet speaks of the incredible efforts of the idol maker to craft an object that can do absolutely nothing. I love the ESV's words in verse 5 "the are like a scarecrow in a cucumber field". Verses 6-7 tell us that there is no one like Israel's Omnipotent Sovereign. He alone is all wise and the idol worshippers are dull and stupid. He reigns enthroned in the Heavens as King over all nations. Despite their magnificent appearance they remain dumb idols incapable of doing anything. But as verse 10 tells us Yahweh is the only true and living God. Paul points this out in Acts 17 and says that the time for ignorance has ended as the only true God commands all to repent. In 1 Thessalonians 1 verses 9-10 he describes how believers from that city had turned from their dumb idols to serve the living and true God. In verses 11-16 the LORD through Jeremiah condemns the foolishness of idol worship and contrasts those inanimate objects with the Almighty King of Judah. Verses 17-18 speaks of God slinging the nation out of the Land like a stone flung from a sling. Verses 19-21 is once again a lament for the devastated Land and the scattering of Yahweh's flock. Verse 22 tells us the the LORD's land has become the habitat of jackals. The Almighty tells us a great truth that has been proven throughout history: "I know, O LORD, that the way of man is not in himself, that it is not in man who walks to direct his steps." And as a consequence of this our Sovereign's advice to each faithful believer is given in verse 24. Slowly read and meditate its meaning for you. For their evil ways the Omnipotent Creator will soon pour out His wrath on all nations.  In Matthew 21 Jesus' triumphant entry into Jerusalem was accompanied by shouts of "Hosannas" (save now). Matthew tells us that this was in fulfilment of the prophecy of Zechariah, in the 9th chapter.

Palm Sunday at Greenfield Presbyterian Church, Berkley, MI. The Scripture Reading for today is Mark 11:1-11 Jesus enters Jerusalem 11 When Jesus and his followers approached Jerusalem, they came to Bethphage and Bethany at the Mount of Olives. Jesus gave two disciples a task, 2 saying to them, “Go into the village over there. As soon as you enter it, you will find tied up there a colt that no one has ridden. Untie it and bring it here. 3 If anyone says to you, ‘Why are you doing this?' say, ‘Its master needs it, and he will send it back right away.'” 4 They went and found a colt tied to a gate outside on the street, and they untied it. 5 Some people standing around said to them, “What are you doing, untying the colt?” 6 They told them just what Jesus said, and they left them alone. 7 They brought the colt to Jesus and threw their clothes upon it, and he sat on it. 8 Many people spread out their clothes on the road while others spread branches cut from the fields. 9 Those in front of him and those following were shouting, “Hosanna! Blessings on the one who comes in the name of the Lord! 10 Blessings on the coming kingdom of our ancestor David! Hosanna in the highest!” 11 Jesus entered Jerusalem and went into the temple. After he looked around at everything, because it was already late in the evening, he returned to Bethany with the Twelve.

Pastor Dana Kidder preaching from John 12:12-19 at Redemption Bible Church in Bellefontaine, Ohio.

After our family held a riverside memorial service for my father, we each selected a stone to help us remember him. His life had been a checkerboard of wins and losses, but we knew his heart was for us. My fingers traced my stone’s smooth surface and helped me hold him close. In Luke 19, Jesus made His triumphal entry into Jerusalem, while the crowds waved palm branches, shouted Hosannas, and cheered, “Blessed is the king who comes in the name of the Lord!” (v. 38). In the Pharisees’ disdain of what they perceived to a blasphemous claim of messiahship, they ordered Jesus to tell the disciples to be quiet. Jesus replied, “If they keep quiet, the stones will cry out” (v. 40). The stones do cry out, in many ways. God used stones throughout the story of His love for us. Two rough-hewn stones carried ten chiseled commandments to tell us how to live (Exodus 34:1–2). Stones of remembrance piled by the Jordan River reminded generations of God’s provision and faithfulness (Joshua 4:8–9). The one rolled into place to contain Jesus’ body is the same one rolled away to show He had risen (Matthew 27:59–66; Luke 24:2). We “hear” this stone as it reminds us of Jesus’ words, “I am the resurrection and the life” (John 11:25). Listen to the stones and lift your own voice along with them in praise to our loving Father.

“Hosannas and House Cleaning” from Easter Moments by Rev. Phil Anderson. Released: 2025. The post Hosannas and House Cleaning appeared first on Bethel Church of Tallmadge.

As we celebrate Palm Sunday, were reminded that Jesus came once in humility - and Hes coming again in glory! In this message, Pastor Jeremy explores what it means to live with hopeful expectation in the in-between when the Hosannas have been shouted, but the Hallelujah hasnt yet arrived.

The Event – The Triumphal Entry; Palm Sunday. Jesus enters the city of Jerusalem with praise! It looks Triumphant! What did Jesus hope for? The Hosannas died quickly. By Friday, Release Barabas! Crucify Christ! From being hailed as King with praise, hallelujah and hope! The Messiah is Jesus of Nazareth! A reputation of miracles done with large crowds. Word spread and verified throughout Jerusalem. Very hopeful in the life of our Lord changed to disaster. Jesus spent time with friends and with healings at a celebration! Martha served and Mary worshipped the Lord! Judas a thief and a hater. Jesus honored and dishonored at the Passover!

Up To Jerusalem - Teaching 3 Scripture - Luke 19:11-27, John 12:1-11, Psalm 45:4, 6-8, Mark 14:10-11, Hebrews 1:8-9 Jesus has set his face toward Jerusalem and will carry out  the heavenly Father's will. People were expecting the Kingdom of God to appear suddenly - political deliverance - a great king to rule - but Jesus continued to emphasize the difficulties that lie ahead as well as the glory that would come in the future.  Today's teaching begins with the Parable of the Mina. A mina is equivalent to 3-4 months pay. The story tells of a king and 10 servants, each are given a mina, the king goes away and then returns asking for an accounting of the mines each had been given. In this parable - Jesus is trying to show how he too will go away. The kingdom of God is coming - but the final fulfillment is in the future - His second return.  But while the king is away and we await His return - those of us that follow Him are called to wisely use what He has given us.   As Jesus continues heading “Up to Jerusalem” He stops in the town of Bethany to dine with friends: Mary, Martha, Lazarus and others. Just weeks earlier Jesus had raised Lazarus from the dead. During the meal, Mary pores expensive perfume on Jesus' feet - perfume worth about 1 year's wage. Judas speaks up that it was a waste of money that could have/should have gone to the poor, but Jesus speaks up in Mary's defense saying, “You will always have the poor but you will not always have Me.” Anointing with perfume had remarkable application and significance for devout Jewish people in the 1st century. They were eagerly anticipating the arrival of the Messiah - Messiah means the Anointed One and now Mary anoints Jesus. She even wipes His feet with her hair - showing complete surrender - she gave Jesus everything, possibly even her life savings in this act of devotion.  On the next day Jesus would be riding into Jerusalem on a donkey as their king to the cheers of Hosanna (Save Us!) - as Mary does the symbolic, prophetic act of anointing Jesus, she's not just showing devotion to Him and not just preparing His body for death, she is announcing to all that He's her King, she serves Him and that He is the fulfillment of the Scriptures. Judas is angered so much by Mary's act that he goes to the chief priests to betray Jesus. These chief priests had seen the miraculous healings, they knew of Jesus raising Lazarus, and they knew what people were saying about Jesus, but their own hearts were hardened. They wanted to kill Jesus and Lazarus as well. Mere recognition of something being true doesn't always change the heart and mind, only God changes them. Only when we encounter Jesus for who He really is are we then changed and that is an action of God. This is why we are called to be humble before God, to believe and repent and to follow him. The next day (Palm Sunday) Jesus rides into Jerusalem on a donkey. Did He still smell of the perfume Mary had put on Him? He was hailed with Hosannas and the waving of palm branches. Riding in on a donkey was a symbol of peace. Something else was coinciding with Jesus coming into Jerusalem on this specific day. This was the 10th Day of Nissan for the Jewish people, which was the day that all the lambs that would be sacrificed for the Passover in 4 days were herded into Jerusalem. The very day that Jesus, the Sacrificial Lamb of God, also enters the city. This is not a coincidence.And 4 days later as the lambs were slaughtered for the Passover meals to celebrate their freedom from bondage to Egypt, Jesus would be hung on the cross shedding His blood for our freedom from sin's bondage. Nothing here is coincidental. Jesus is the fulfillment of all the Father has promised!! 3 Key Events that lead to Jesus' arrest, death and crucifixion:     ⁃    Resurrection of Lazarus     ⁃    Anointing by Mary     ⁃    Jesus in the temple courts These three incidents enraged the chief priests and were the final straw in their desire to get rid of Him earlier than originally planned.  We will pick up next week with the cleansing of the temple.  Our website –  https://www.awakeusnow.com Watch the video from our website! https://www.awakeusnow.com/2-year-study-of-the-gospels-upper Watch the video from our YouTube Channel!! https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLTaaqrC3dMOzMkhPyiNWwlJRpV6Bwpu01 Up to Jerusalem is a study of the final weeks of Jesus' ministry concluding with His resurrection and ascension, using the books of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John together with material from ancient sources and recent discoveries.  Up to Jerusalem is part four of our Two Year Study of the Gospels. Up To Jerusalem is the story of the plan of God to redeem the world, and the story of a Savior willing to obey the Father's plan. As we study Jesus' final days, we will be impacted as we discover the Love of God for each one of us.  This study is great for large group, small group or home group study and can be started at any time.

The Hosannas of little children filled with praise is highly pleaasing to the Lord. Hsys Bible in a Year: Proverbs 10-12 & 2 Corinthians 4

On the next day much people that were come to the feast, when they heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem, Took branches of palm trees, and went forth to meet him, and cried, Hosanna: Blessed is the King of Israel that cometh in the name of the Lord.

As the sun sets on Jerusalem, we find ourselves walking alongside Jesus in what would be his final days, witnessing his unwavering resolve and the subsequent unraveling of hope that follows. Join us in an emotional exploration of these sacred moments, from the resounding Hosannas of Palm Sunday to the echoing silence of an empty tomb, each step laden with the weight of prophecy and the lightness of ultimate victory. As we recount the events on the road to Emmaus and share stories of transformations akin to my own journey from a place of despair to one of purpose, this episode promises to not only delve into history but also touch your heart with tales of redemption and new beginnings.Amidst the backdrop of ancient scriptures, we invite you to reflect on the personal encounters that mirror the restorative power of Christ's resurrection, including the candid exchange between the risen Jesus and a penitent Peter. Through these narratives, we come to understand the profound implications of an empty grave—not as a conclusion, but as an eternal promise of reconciliation and a life forever changed. With no stone left unturned, we grapple with the question of what it truly means to embrace the essence of Easter and how this cornerstone of faith can cast a light on our own path to peace, gratitude, and a deep sense of belonging within the family of believers.

This week we go "back in time" from our Reading Plan, as we enter into Holy Week - commemorating the day when Jesus rode into Jerusalem as the "benevolent King." He was hailed. "Hosannas!" rung in the air. Palm branches were strewn before Him. It was a celebration.But that's not all that happened on this peculiar day. In this sermon, Pastor Kevin highlights the "oddities" of Jesus' actions on Palm Sunday. Sometimes it seems like God doesn't know what He's doing. Very often, we have no clue what we're doing. But Jesus - He knows what He's doing.Listen, as Pastor Kevin encourages the 10 confirmands of SSPP, as well as every disciple of Jesus, as He shares the significance of Jesus' actions. Jesus knows what He's doing - not just in the Bible - but in your life too!

This marvelous hymn helps us to rejoice in the reality of God's love for us sinners. Through Christ's death, God loves us to the uttermost, even though we were loveless and undeserving. The hymn traces the way that Jesus humbled Himself by taking on our humanity and suffering at the hands of the very people He had come to save. Though Jesus did not deserve such treatment, He willingly endured His passion, death, and burial in order to save us. For that reason, we sing the praises of Jesus now and into all eternity.

Lutheran Service Book 430 1 My song is love unknown, My Savior's love to me, Love to the loveless shown That they might lovely be. Oh, who am I That for my sake My Lord should take Frail flesh and die? 2 He came from His blest throne Salvation to bestow; But men made strange, and none The longed-for Christ would know. But, oh, my friend, My Friend indeed, Who at my need His life did spend! 3 Sometimes they strew His way And His sweet praises sing; Resounding all the day Hosannas to their King. Then “Crucify!” Is all their breath, And for His death They thirst and cry. 4 Why, what hath my Lord done? What makes this rage and spite? He made the lame to run, He gave the blind their sight. Sweet injuries! Yet they at these Themselves displease And 'gainst Him rise. 5 They rise and needs will have My dear Lord made away; A murderer they save, The Prince of Life they slay. Yet cheerful He To suff'ring goes That He His foes From thence might free. 6 In life no house, no home My Lord on earth might have; In death no friendly tomb But what a stranger gave. What may I say? Heav'n was His home But mine the tomb Wherein He lay. 7 Here might I stay and sing, No story so divine! Never was love, dear King, Never was grief like Thine. This is my friend, In whose sweet praise I all my days Could gladly spend!

December 2, 2023Today's Reading: Introit For Advent 1: Psalm 25:1-3; antiphon Zechariah 9:9b, altDaily Lectionary: Jeremiah 29:1-19, Matthew 26:36-56Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion! Shout aloud, O daughter of Jerusalem!Behold, your king is coming to you;  and having salvation is he,humble and mounted on a donkey, on a colt, the foal of a donkey. (Zechariah 9:9)In the Name + of Jesus. Amen. Tomorrow begins the season of Advent. A season of waiting, preparation, repentance, and hope in Christ who came in the flesh, comes in His Word and Sacraments, and promises to come again. Tomorrow we hear how Jesus fulfills the words of his prophet Zechariah as He rides into Jerusalem amidst palms and praises. Behold, your king is coming to you; righteous and having salvation is he, humbled and mounted on a donkey. Tomorrow we hear the Palm Sunday word ringing in the new church year as Advent begins the same Holy Week begins, with shouts of Hosanna!Hosanna is the perfect word to sing as Advent begins. Hosanna means, “Lord, save us.” Jesus came to do his Hosanna work, to seek and to save the lost. This is what God  has always done. He is the God of Hosanna. The God who saves. When the people of Israel cried out to God in the days of Moses for rescue from slavery in Egypt, God heard their cry of Hosanna, Lord, save us. And he did. God saved them from death by the blood of the Lamb. God saved them from Egypt through the waters of the Red Sea. God saved them by dwelling among them in the cloud and pillar of fire in the tabernacle.In Zechariah's day, when the people of God, once again, cried out for rescue. They had spent seventy years in Babylon. They were returning from exile. The temple and walls of Jerusalem were rebuilt. Would God save us as he promised? Would God make his advent as he said? Will God hear our Hosannas? Yes, foretold the prophet Zechariah. Behold, your king is coming to you.Centuries later, the king Zechariah foretold finally arrived. God heard the Hosanna cries of his people. God made his Advent in the wood of the manger and the cross.. God became man to be present with and save his people, and to save you.In Advent, Jesus brings his Hosanna to you. He came in the flesh to save you. He comes in His Word, water, body and blood to save you. He promises to come again on the Last Day and save you. In Advent we celebrate and remember Christ's first Advent in the flesh, confident that because He died and rose again, He will make His Second advent in glory. And until that day, our King Jesus still saves you and promises to be with you. In the Name + of Jesus. Amen.A humble beast He rides, Yet as a King presides; Though not arrayed in splendor, He makes the grave surrender. Hosanna, praise and glory! Our King, we bow before Thee.

He is risen! This Easter Sunday, Dean Peet reminds us that our cries for salvation are fully met in the risen Christ.

Confession time: In my first year of preaching, I had no clue what Palm Sunday was. I didn't grow up in the church, and while I knew about Easter (even beyond the bunny and eggs), I had no idea there even was a Palm Sunday. I had never shouted "Hosanna!" and had never even seen a palm tree, let alone waved a branch! It's worse than that, though. I remember doing the research, reading the Gospels backward, counting from the Sunday Jesus was resurrected, backtracking his path through Jerusalem day by day, and uncovering that one week earlier, he entered Jerusalem. I was pretty sure I was the only one who had made this discovery. I probably even started working on a paper to document my findings. It's still available for peer review if anyone's interested. Somehow, though, Palm Sunday has gone from complete obscurity to one of the most significant memorials in my year. Palm Sunday stops me in my path and puts me on Jesus' path, walking with him through the week to the upper room, the cross, and the empty tomb. Indeed, the Lord's Supper on Thursday night will draw me into Christ's presence, and the darkness of Good Friday will place me at the foot of His cross, but Palm Sunday starts me on that journey. Today's "Hosannas" prepare me for next Sunday's "He Lives!"

When Jesus rode into Jerusalem on Palm Sunday, the people shouted "Hosannas" before Him. But those were not the original Hosannas! The original Hosanna is found hundreds of years before, in Psalm 118

Luke 19:28-40

On this Palm Sunday as we take a look at the Triumphant Entry of Christ we take note of the manner of his entrance, which is both Majestic and Lowly. We examine devotion He has for His Father & the great love he has for his own and see that he is determined to go all the way to end that is waiting for him, which is the Cross. There are some who line the road shouting their Hosannas will shortly shout for His crucifixion and others whose weak faith will cause them to desert Him. He knows this, yet still he is determined to love them to the end.Time:MorningMinister:Pastor Taylor KernTexts:Luke 19:28–44Series:Palm Sunday

As Rust Cohle says in True Detective, “Time is a flat circle. Everything we've ever done or will do, we're gonna do over and over and over again. And that little boy and that little girl, they're gonna be in that room again and again and again forever." This might sound like pretentious freshmen-year philosophy talk, but there's more to it than that. It might just be the ticket we need to better understand the very nature of reality. It might just be the starting point we need to analyze so we can stop the Hosannas of the world from happening again. It might be pretentious, sure, but it also might be our salvation.

Rev. Steven Wheeler, pastor of Crossview Lutheran Church in Edina, MN joins Rev. Brady Finnern to study Matthew 21:1-17. Jesus is taking control, as the greatest servant, to how He will do the ultimate service through the cross. The people needed a reminder what kind of King He would be–gentle, humble, and bringing salvation. “Who is this?” many asked. Even though they did not fully understand the fullness of who Jesus was, by His grace even the mouth of babes are able to clearly confess that this prophet, priest, and king have come for all nations. We join the lame, blind, and children today so that we may sing our Hosannas as the LORD has saved us and saves us now. “Lord God, Hosanna in the Highest, blessed are You who comes in the name of the LORD. Lord, as The Temple, fill us with the words of babes knowing that the sacrifice is complete and You have come for all nations. In Him, Amen”
