In our world of division and strife how can we experience true and lasting unity? How can we learn to put off pride and live in humility with one another? Join us this Sunday as we learn from the greatest example of humility our world has ever known.

Jesus entered Jerusalem not with military power or pride, but on the colt of a donkey. In Luke 19, He revealed Himself as the promised King—humble, saving, and worthy of praise. This episode asks whether we receive Jesus as He truly is, or whether we try to reshape Him into the kind of Savior we prefer.

Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord! The way of Jesus is the crucible of humility. "Now this took place so that what was spoken through the prophet would be fulfilled: “Say to the daughter of Zion, ‘Behold your King is coming to you, humble, and mounted on a donkey, even on a colt, the foal of a donkey.'” - Matthew 21:4-5 NASB If you would like to partner in the work we are doing locally and globally, please visit https://myLOH.church/GIVE

As Americans, we find ourselves stuck between two tensions: our impulse to reject kings and the impulse to use Jesus as a slogan. On Palm Sunday, Jesus reveals that his kingship is the best news available, for he is the subversive, misunderstood, and humble king.

This week, we will be studying Mark 11:1-11 under the theme “Unexpected Messiah.” The annual message of Palm Sunday is a reminder that our life, redeemed by a Savior who loves us enough to endure the cross, is ruled by a Humble King who operates in unexpected, powerful, beautiful ways.Series Summary: Fast-paced, urgent, and relentlessly focused on Jesus, the Gospel of Mark shows us not just what Jesus said, but what he did. Written for a Roman world hungry for power, Mark introduces a surprising King - one who comes to serve, to suffer, and to give his life for many. Over the coming weeks, we'll walk this road with Jesus, from the wilderness to the cross, discovering how the Servant-King's actions reveal the true good news - and what it means to follow him as disciples who take up our own cross and trust him with our lives.Add St. Marcus as your church on the Church Center App!Fill out our online connection cardHow can we pray for you?

Palm Sunday Worship Service! Today we celebrate the day Jesus rode into Jerusalem as our Humble King, seated on a donkey. And the crowds went wild, shouting, "Save us now! Son of David, save us now!" Jesus is humble but He is sending a clear message to everyone, including us, Jesus is the One who came to save us. Jesus is the King of Kings! Wait till you hear what happens next.Recorded live at Word of Life Church in Le Sueur, Minnesota, on Sunday, March 29, 2026, Pastor Jason Lang preaching.Powered by Restream https://restream.io/

On Palm Sunday, we look beyond the crowd and the celebration to see the heart of Christ. In Philippians 2:5–11, we discover the humility of Jesus—how the King of glory stepped down, took the form of a servant, and went to the cross for our salvation.This message calls us to examine our own hearts, lay down our pride, and adopt the mindset of Christ. The One who humbled Himself has now been exalted as Lord over all—and one day every knee will bow before Him.Will you bow to Him today?Mission Church — www.missionlasvegas.com

Focus: The King God promised finally arrives, but not as the kind of king the crowd expected. Riding on a donkey instead of a war horse, Jesus reveals a kingdom built on humility, peace, and surrender rather than force and power. Palm Sunday invites us to recognize that the King we truly need may not be the one we imagined. As the crowd cries "Hosanna," we are confronted with a question that echoes through every generation: Will we welcome the humble King on His terms? Zechariah 9:9–10; Luke 19:28–40

Pastor Kenny taught from Luke 19 about the distinct ways Jesus sees people, purpose, and politics differently than this world.

Palm Sunday is often seen as a celebration—but underneath it, there's tension.  The same crowd praising Jesus would turn on Him just days later. Why?Because they were looking for the wrong kind of Savior.In this message, we unpack how expectations shape what we see, how God often works differently than we want, and why following Jesus is less about control—and more about trust.

Message from Rev. Dr. John Yates III on March 29, 2026

In this Palm Sunday message from Matthew 21:1–17, Pastor Jim walks through Jesus' entry into Jerusalem, showing how people can recognize a problem yet misidentify its true source. The crowds expected a political solution in the overthrow of Rome, but Jesus reveals a deeper issue rooted in sin within the human heart. He contrasts expectations of a powerful, conquering king with the reality of a humble King who enters on a donkey, not to seize power, but to heal, restore, and draw near to the broken. In doing so, Jesus also redefines the temple, disrupting empty religious practices and revealing that true access to God is no longer found in a place, but in Himself. The religious system had become outwardly active but inwardly disconnected, missing the very presence of God before them. As Jesus heals the blind and welcomes the praise of children, He demonstrates that the kingdom is open to the humble, the needy, and those willing to come to Him in faith. Pastor Jim emphasizes that the problem is ultimately internal, not external, and that Jesus addresses the root rather than the symptoms. The message calls for a response of humble need and childlike trust, inviting believers to stop trying to fix themselves and instead turn to Jesus as the true solution who brings healing, forgiveness, and new life.

When the people of Jerusalem welcomed Jesus, singing “Hosanna,” they were expecting Jesus to be a triumphant king that would give them victory over their Roman oppressors. They were focused on the things of this world, instead of realizing Jesus had a much bigger mission - to save us from our sin. Scripture reading: Matthew 21:1-11.

Blessed is He Who Comes in the Name of the Lord (John 12:12-15)   1. Jesus is The Blessed King of Israel (12-13)   2. Jesus is The Humble King of Peace (14-15)

Jesus' humility is obvious--he became obedient to death. One day soon his exaltation will be even more apparent--every eye will see him.

MAR 29 | This Is Jesus | John 12:12-19 ...The next day the great crowd that had come for the festival heard that Jesus was on his way to Jerusalem. They took palm branches and went out to meet him, shouting,“Hosanna!”“Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!”“Blessed is the king of Israel!”Jesus found a young donkey and sat on it, as it is written:“Do not be afraid, Daughter Zion; see, your king is coming, seated on a donkey's colt.”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.Now the crowd that was with him when he called Lazarus from the tomb and raised him from the dead continued to spread the word. Many people, because they had heard that he had performed this sign, went out to meet him. So the Pharisees said to one another, “See, this is getting us nowhere. Look how the whole world has gone after him!”

03/15/2026  The Unexpected KingThe Humble King | Luke 4: 14-30BIG IDEA: Jesus is not the King that was expected; He is the King that was needed.Will we follow Jesus as He truly is, or only as we expect Him to be?“Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.” Matthew 11: 28-30Jesus is the humble King who:1. Depends on the Spirit. (vs 14-15) God's power flows through dependence. Humility begins when we realize and admit that we are powerless to control anything.2. Identifies with the lowly. (vs 16-19) Jesus moves toward the people the world moves past. Who do you move toward?3. Confronts pride. (vs 21-24) Pride rejects the king it cannot control. We love what comforts us, and we reject what confronts us.4. Opens the Kingdom to outsiders. (vs 25-30) Grace crosses every boundary that pride tries to build.“Jesus, shape us as we give up trying to shape You.”
