This is a re-release of Episode 36 of Season 3, which is a Palm Sunday reflection on Matthew 21:6-14. Jesus rides into Jerusalem to the praise of the people expecting a triumphant political ruler. But Jesus is seated on a donkey, not a warhorse. He goes to the temple, not Herod's palace. He drives out the money changers, not the Romans. But in so doing, He makes a way for peace amid violence; healing amid injustice.Connect with me at Mick@MickRMurray.com // feel free to share, subscribe, rate, and/or commentBackground tracks (licensed via Musicbed): - Blossom by Roary- Borealis by Jo Blankenburg- By Design (reprise) by Phillip Cuccias

Sermon Summary:On Palm Sunday, we explored the Triumphal Entry of Jesus into Jerusalem from John 12:12-19. This pivotal event, recorded in all four gospels, reveals profound truths about our hope and expectations. As Jesus entered Jerusalem during Passover, the city was bursting with Jews who had traveled there to celebrate. The crowds welcomed him with palm branches (symbols of national victory) and shouts of "Hosanna!" (meaning "save us now"), revealing their hope for a nationalist Messiah who would overthrow Roman rule.However, Jesus intentionally chose to ride a young donkey, fulfilling Zechariah's prophecy about a humble king who would bring peace to all nations. This deliberate choice contradicted the crowd's nationalistic expectations. While they wanted a warrior-king like David, Jesus was demonstrating that his kingdom transcended national boundaries.We highlighted two key lessons from this passage. First, nationalism doesn't belong in the church. When we confuse patriotism with our faith or believe our hope comes from human leaders rather than Christ, we risk missing God's work among us. Our Savior doesn't reside in government buildings but is often found among the marginalized.Second, we must be vigilant not to miss God's presence right before us. The religious leaders of Jesus' day knew Scripture intimately yet failed to recognize God incarnate walking among them. In Luke's account, Jesus weeps over Jerusalem because they "did not recognize the time of God's coming."As we approach Easter, we should examine where we're placing our hope—in finances, family, nation, or the living God? We're challenged to tangibly meet a neighbor's needs this week, following Jesus' example of service and remaining attentive to how God is moving in our midst today.

Matthew 21:1-11

“Hosanna in the highest!”Each year, we celebrate Palm Sunday as a way to remember when Jesus triumphantly enters into Jerusalem. Using this story, we'll take a deeper look at the concept of humility. Together as a community, we may discover where God shows himself to be humble and where He is calling us to “take on humility” in our own lives. Join us at 4:00pm as we celebrate our humble king and begin Holy Week.

This week, Pastor Jeremy continues our Easter series, Resurrection Road, with this sermon from Romans 6. He shares how we must walk in grace and humility because walking in sin is not an option for the child of God.

We look at the famous Zechariah 9about "the King coming," "humble on a donkey"in it's entire original context, all to appreciate Jesus and Palm Sunday even more

On Palm Sunday, Jesus rode into Jerusalem not on a warhorse, but on a donkey-choosing humility over power and identifying with the lowly, not the elite. in this message, we see how the triumphant entry wasn't for the proud, but for the forgotten, the overlooked and the Broken. Passage: Luke 19: 28-44

How are we to respond to Jesus, especially in light of His arrival in Jerusalem on Palm Sunday? Pastor Nate explains from Zechariah 9:9-10 that we must accept Jesus on His terms not on the terms that we want to impose on Him.

This Palm Sunday sermon is shared by our guest speaker, Rev. Steve Hartman, and is based on Matthew 21:1-11. You can also view each week's sermon/worship service on our YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC5ncsq_QNvCv61bIwKUpP5A  

This Palm Sunday sermon explores the five facets of Jesus as king – sovereign, humble, saving, worthy, and compassionate – urging us to behold him as a person requiring a relationship with us.

Reflections from Sunday's Message by Bill Chapman | Myrtle House Community Church Palm Sunday is often viewed as a joyful celebration—a moment when crowds lined the streets waving palm branches and shouting “Hosanna!” But this Sunday, Bill Chapman led us into a deeper truth behind the Triumphal Entry in Matthew 21:1-17: it wasn't just a parade; it was a provocation. Jesus wasn't simply entering Jerusalem—He was confronting hearts. And the question He asked then, He still asks today: Will you crown Him or kill Him? The First Cry: “Son of David!” In Matthew 20:29-34, just before entering Jerusalem, Jesus is called “Son of David” for the first time. This title was explosive—it wasn't just a nod to His family tree; it was a declaration of kingship, messiahship, and divine authority. Religious leaders knew exactly what that meant. The blind men saw what the seeing could not: Jesus was not just a teacher or prophet—He was the King of all Kings. A Humble King, A Bold Message In Matthew 21, Jesus rides into Jerusalem on a donkey, fulfilling the prophecy of Zechariah 9:9: “Your king comes to you, righteous and victorious, lowly and riding on a donkey…” This wasn't an accident or a last-minute mode of transport. It was premeditated prophecy. Jesus was being intentionally provocative. He didn't ride in on a warhorse like other kings. He came humbly—but make no mistake, He came with all authority. He was stirring the pot. Why? Because you don't get to stay neutral with Jesus. You'll either crown Him as King or join the crowd that cries “Crucify Him.” The King Who Overturns Everything As Jesus enters the temple and flips the tables, calling it His “Father's house,” He's making it abundantly clear: He is the Son of God. This was no modest moment. It was a declaration. A challenge to the religious order. A disruption of comfortable tradition. Where Is Jesus to You? Is He your shepherd? Your friend? Your guide? That's beautiful—but unless He is first your King, He can't truly be any of those things. To call Jesus your King is to submit your will to His. We can't treat Him like a consultant we occasionally listen to—we must crown Him as King over everything. Crown Him or Kill Him? The crowd that shouted “Hosanna!” would later scream “Crucify Him!” The same people who praised Him would soon reject Him. Jesus still walks into the hearts of men and women today and provokes the same decision. He will not settle for half your heart. He is Lord of all or not at all. So ask yourself: Will I truly submit my life to Him? Do I obey my King, even when it disrupts my comfort? Am I part of the crowd that praises but refuses to surrender? You will either crown Him or kill Him. There is no middle ground. Let this Holy Week be a moment where you pause, reflect, and respond. He is still entering cities. Still overturning tables. Still asking us to choose. Will you crown Him today? “Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord!” – Matthew 21:9

True greatness comes through humility. Jesus, the King of Kings, washed His disciples' feet, redefining leadership as serving others with love and humility.  

In this Sunday's preach, Stephen King reminds us that abiding in the Lord's rest will transform our lives.

This week we look at the King of kings who took the role of a humble servant and washed the dirty feet of his disciples. How can you serve the Church the way Jesus served? How can we forgive others the way he forgave?Want to learn about how Jesus can impact your life? Join us Sunday morning at 10am either in person or online!We'd love to connect with you!

From the series "According To Luke"

A sermon by Ryan Coholich based on John 12:12-19 preached on February 9th for the Tri-City congregation of Veritas Community Church as part of our sermon series called "John: That You May Believe."

In Mark 11:1-11, Jesus finally arrives into Jerusalem, the place that he has laid out as where he will spend his final days. By riding into town on a donkey, he is not only fulfilling the prophecy laid out to us in Zechariah 9:9, but also is subverting expectations of what it means to be a king. This approach, while completely countercultural then and now, invites Jesus' followers to walk in similarly humble footsteps. Jesus is building with us a KIN-dom relationship -- where we become partners alongside him and continue the work that Jesus started. Through this passage, he demonstrates to us what can happen when we allow God to move, when we involve others in our lives, and when we admit that maybe we don't know best. Jesus' humility is an invitation to us to embrace the gifts we have not for our own glory or satisfaction, but for the good of others.  By Rebekah Covington

This week, we continue our new series, "Fulfilled." Join us as we learn that Jesus invites us into a different kind of life, and that is a life of humility.

Christmas evokes mixed emotions: hope and despair, joy and sadness. Isaiah foretold a king who would bring hope and eliminate violence and destruction, leading to a true understanding of God. Jesus fulfills this promise, inviting us to abandon sin and selfishness. Through his Spirit of wisdom, we can be a blessing and build up rather than hurt and tear down. He is both the humble king we desire and the powerful king we need.

Have you ever wondered why we say 'Merry Christmas' or the origin of the word 'Xmas'? Join us as we explore those questions as well as the humble beginnings of Jesus, the Anointed One, and how His unexpected kingship challenges our modern perceptions. Together we will dive into the nativity story, the role of shepherds, and the profound message of service and grace. Speaker: Tim Bounds
