Theme From Sunday's Sermon: Evangelism: Sharing the Good News On this edition of One Single Story, Pastors Stephen Mizell, Jay Rivenbark, and Alyssa Bream discuss the following questions: When I read the story of Zacchaeus, I was struck by the differences between him and wealthy religious leader we talked about yesterday. We definitely seem to be in a theme this week. What can this story teach us about sharing the Gospel? Yesterday we talked about the importance of the power of God working when we are sharing the Gospel. What does this story teach us about that principle? Have you ever saw someone who came to Jesus and thought to yourself, "I can't believe THAT person got saved”? Do you think someone might have said that about you? Talk about a time when you witnessed the simplest little thing, like an invitation to dinner, result in someone giving their heart to Jesus. The reading for the day is: Joshua 16:1–18:28 Luke 19:1-27 Psalm 87:1-7 Proverbs 13:11
In this sermon, Pastor Jason Polk takes us to the heart of the Palm Sunday narrative—where Jesus is declared King by the crowd, rides into Jerusalem on a donkey, and immediately sets to work flipping tables and expectations. Pastor Jason emphasizes that restoration begins with coronation—acknowledging Jesus as the King of our hearts and lives. Through rich narrative and humor, he paints the scene of a city swelling with hope, a people longing for deliverance, and a Savior who defies every worldly notion of power. He explores the significance of Jesus' obedience to prophecy, His heart that weeps for those who are close yet still far, and His bold act of cleansing the temple—a call to make space for God to truly dwell within us. This message is a powerful reminder that Jesus is not just a gentle King riding in humility—He is a King who remodels, restores, and reigns. And when we throw down our cloaks and declare Him as King, we invite real transformation into every part of our lives.

In this episode of Devotions with Christian Outdoors Jon takes a brief look at some of the details surrounding the Triumphal Entry during Holy Week. Jesus reveals His heart for the spiritually blind. Jesus reveals His heart for the nations. Jesus reveals His heart for the marginalized. Matthew 21.1-17; Luke 19.41-44; John 3.17

This week, Pastor Joe continues to focus on resistance as a theme for Lent as we journey with Jesus into Jerusalem on what is known as Palm Sunday. He challenges us to take a side: to either align with power and empire or to follow Christ into a new way of love, justice, and communal courage.

In this Palm Sunday message, Adam unpacks the Triumphal Entry and reveals how the crowd praised Jesus while missing the true purpose of His coming. He challenges listeners to examine their expectations and recognize the subtle ways we overlook what God is doing. The King still comes lowly, and if we are not careful, we will miss the peace He offers.Music:Abstract StyleMusician:QubeSoundsURL:https://pixabay.com/music/abstract-style-121455/
Program for 04/14/2025 Covenant Community Church: Palm Sunday, Luke 19:1, 28-44
Even when we can't see it, Jesus is always in control. In times of uncertainty, we learn through faith that Jesus provides perfect peace to those who will receive Him!
April 13, 2025Big Idea: The same Holy Spirit who raised Jesus from the dead now lives in every Believer. Unless we surrender to Him, we will follow Jesus for the wrong reasons, and we will worship Him in a manner that does NOT glorify God.
Luke 19:29-40, 45-48 29 When he drew near to Bethphage and Bethany, at the mount that is called Olivet, he sent two of the disciples, 30 saying, “Go into the village in front of you, where on entering you will find a colt tied, on which no one has ever yet sat. Untie it and bring it here. 31 If anyone asks you, ‘Why are you untying it?' you shall say this: ‘The Lord has need of it.'” 32 So those who were sent went away and found it just as he had told them. 33 And as they were untying the colt, its owners said to them, “Why are you untying the colt?” 34 And they said, “The Lord has need of it.” 35 And they brought it to Jesus, and throwing their cloaks on the colt, they set Jesus on it. 36 And as he rode along, they spread their cloaks on the road. 37As he was drawing near—already on the way down the Mount of Olives—the whole multitude of his disciples began to rejoice and praise God with a loud voice for all the mighty works that they had seen, 38 saying, “Blessed is the King who comes in the name of the Lord! Peace in heaven and glory in the highest!” 39 And some of the Pharisees in the crowd said to him, “Teacher, rebuke your disciples.” 40 He answered, “I tell you, if these were silent, the very stones would cry out.”45 And he entered the temple and began to drive out those who sold, 46 saying to them, “It is written, ‘My house shall be a house of prayer,' but you have made it a den of robbers.”47 And he was teaching daily in the temple. The chief priests and the scribes and the principal men of the people were seeking to destroy him, 48 but they did not find anything they could do, for all the people were hanging on his words.Sermon Questions:1. What position does Jesus most often occupy in your life? (e.g. teacher, example, guide)2. What control do you need to relinquish to his authority?3. When does Jesus' character/leadership not meet your expectations?4. How have you relegated Jesus to a part-player in your life? Does that feel like a rejection of him?5. How can you 'hang on his every word' this week?
The Beautiful Empty: Lent 2025 March 9 – April 13 Blaise Pascal once spoke of the “God-shaped vacuum” in the heart of every person that can only be filled by God. Yet we spend so much of our lives trying to fill that vacuum with everything but God. When we feel worthless, we seek validation from our work. When we suffer from loneliness, we turn to relationships to save us. When we experience boredom, we binge on entertainment. When we feel overwhelmed or self-conscious, we reach for altered states. The God-shaped hole only grows deeper and wider as we fill it with the things that do not satisfy. But the season of Lent invites us to let go of our attachments and dependencies, emptying ourselves of all our cheap substitutes for God, so we can finally see ourselves for who we really are—needy, imperfect, unfinished, still-becoming people in need of a tender, patient, gracious God. It's only by experiencing our emptiness that the God-shaped hole can finally be filled, healed, and blessed by that which truly satisfies.

As Jesus approaches Jerusalem riding on a colt, the stage is set for a moment of holy anticipation. In Luke 19:28–40, we see not just prophecy fulfilled—but hearts being readied. This Palm Sunday, Matt Kilgore asks: How are we preparing to praise the King? Are we making space for His presence, or caught up in the noise of our day-to-day?Join us as we explore what it truly means to prepare the way for Jesus—not just in tradition, but in transformation.

The Return of the King: Palm SundayLuke 19:28-48The Village Chapel - 04/13/2025Why have Christians observed Palm Sunday each year for the past 2,000 years? Why is it often called the “Triumphal Entry”? And why did Jesus choose to ride into Jerusalem on a donkey?Some misunderstood what Jesus was doing that day—and many still do. Some expected a political liberator. Others rejected or ignored Him altogether. A few even tried to silence Him and His followers. And yet, millions throughout history have come to believe in Jesus and have found new life in His name. How is that possible? Can that happen for anyone?To find more resources like these, follow us:Website: https://thevillagechapel.comYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCQVTzDbaiXVUAm_mUBDCTJAInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/tvcnashville/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/tvcnashvilleX: https://twitter.com/tvcnashvilleTo support the ongoing mission of The Village Chapel go to https://thevillagechapel.com/give/.

I love that Jesus said even rocks would praise Him if people didn't. That's Holy Week boldness right there. So if a rock can testify… maybe we can too.

{ILS} The Masters Tournament The stunning beauty and difficulty of the golf holes The extraordinary effort to make the flowers bloom The expectations for the patrons Trash management - wrappers on the sandwiches {SCR} Luke 19:28 After Jesus said this, he continued on ahead, going up to Jerusalem.29 As Jesus came to Bethphage and Bethany on the Mount of Olives, he gave two disciples a task. 30 He said, “Go into the village over there. When you enter it, you will find tied up there a colt that no one has ever ridden. Untie it and bring it here. 31 If anyone asks, ‘Why are you untying it?' just say, ‘Its master needs it.'” 32 Those who had been sent found it exactly as he had said. {MPT} Jesus was born among simple animalsThe master needs your stall {MPT} Jesus was called people from simple villagesThe master needs your skill set {MPT} Jesus entered town on a simple animalThe master needs a ride {MPT} Jesus walked to Golgotha with a simple manThe master needs your help {SCR} Luke 19:33 As they were untying the colt, its owners said to them, “Why are you untying the colt?” 34 They replied, “Its master needs it.” 35 They brought it to Jesus, threw their clothes on the colt, and lifted Jesus onto it. 36 As Jesus rode along, they spread their clothes on the road.37 As Jesus approached the road leading down from the Mount of Olives, the whole throng of his disciples began rejoicing. They praised God with a loud voice because of all the mighty things they had seen. 38 They said, “Blessings on the king who comes in the name of the Lord. Peace in heaven and glory in the highest heavens.” {MPT} No debate after one question and one answer Picture 1 - Because it is for the MasterWhat can we attribute that immediate understanding to? Picture 2 - The incredible network that builds in the villages and countryside {SCR} Luke 19:39 Some of the Pharisees from the crowd said to Jesus, “Teacher, scold your disciples! Tell them to stop!” 40 He answered, “I tell you, if they were silent, the stones would shout.” {MPT} The beauty and structure is being dismantled How would you describe facial expressions in the painting? Security plans Political plans All delicately orchestrated Religious Plans Has been whispered in the countryside - will now be declared in the city Animal People All deliberately gathered Savior
Luke 19:28-40 Meditation turns familiar texts into fresh truths. 1. Jesus is the humble King. • (Zechariah 9:9) - Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion! Shout aloud, O daughter of Jerusalem! Behold, your king is coming to you; righteous and having salvation is he, humble and mounted on a donkey, on a colt, the foal of a donkey. • “He does not arrive as his royal highness but his royal lowliness." • v.41) “And when He drew near and saw the city, he wept over it.” 2. Jesus is the peaceful King. • “He shall speak peace to the nations.” (Zech. 9:10) • Our peaceful King didn't come to punish but to plead for our peace with God. 3. Jesus is the King of Kings • Revelations 19:11-16 • Nothing can silence the praise of God. Submit to the King • v.32) "So those who were sent went away and found it just as He had told them" • As I keep submitting to God's Word, I will see how much God keeps His Word.
Rev. Patrick Donohue
Palm SundayWhy did Jesus weep as he entered Jerusalem?
Luke 19:37-4837 When he came near the place where the road goes down the Mount of Olives, the whole crowd of disciples began joyfully to praise God in loud voices for all the miracles they had seen:38 “Blessed is the king who comes in the name of the Lord!”[b]“Peace in heaven and glory in the highest!”39 Some of the Pharisees in the crowd said to Jesus, “Teacher, rebuke your disciples!”40 “I tell you,” he replied, “if they keep quiet, the stones will cry out.”41 As he approached Jerusalem and saw the city, he wept over it 42 and said, “If you, even you, had only known on this day what would bring you peace—but now it is hidden from your eyes. 43 The days will come upon you when your enemies will build an embankment against you and encircle you and hem you in on every side. They will not leave one stone on another, because you did not recognize the time of God's coming to you.”45 When Jesus entered the temple courts, he began to drive out those who were selling. 46 “It is written,” he said to them, “‘My house will be a house of prayer'[c]; but you have made it ‘a den of robbers.'[d]”47 Every day he was teaching at the temple. But the chief priests, the teachers of the law and the leaders among the people were trying to kill him. 48 Yet they could not find any way to do it, because all the people hung on his words.

God has a plan for everything and our lives find fulfillment in God's plan, v. 28-35 • Zechariah 9:9 • Luke 19:322. Worship accompanies what God does, v. 35-40 • Three stages to worship… • what God does • who God is • what I do3. Peace is found in a relationship with God, v. 41-44 • Luke 14:31-32Mental worship… 1. What area of your life feels like God does not have a plan for it? 2. Is your worship of God more about what He does or who He is? 3. Do you have a mechanism for remembering all that God has done in your life? 4. Have you made your peace with God? 5. Is there anybody that you are seeing as you need them to be but not as they really are?
Blessed is the King who comes in the name of the Lord! This week, we reflect on Jesus' triumphant entry into Jerusalem—a moment of joy, praise, and deep compassion. In Luke 19:29–42, we see Jesus celebrated as King, yet moved to tears over a city that missed its moment with God.
