It's been another week of deranged comments and posts from the President. This time he has targeted Pope Leo by accusing him of being weak on crime and catering to the radical left. Mr. Trump followed up by posting an A.I. image of himself as Jesus. The outrage was swift, including from his own MAGA supporters, but are they actually to blame for his messianic self-image? On Palm Sunday, the Pope said Jesus does not hear the prayers of those who wage war. Most assume he was referring to the Secretary of Defense's wrathful prayer for U.S. troops in Iran. Defenders of Pete Hegseth's prayer say he was just quoting the Bible, so what's the problem? Bri Stensrud, the director of Women of Welcome, explains why conservative evangelical women are rising up to support the dignity of immigrants and refugees even as many of their churches remain silent. Also this week—caffeinated cocaine sharks are roaming the Caribbean.   Holy Post Plus: Bonus Interview with Bri Stensrud: https://www.patreon.com/posts/155624095/   Ad-Free Version of this Episode: https://www.patreon.com/posts/155629230/   0:00 - Show Starts   2:08 - Theme Song   2:30 - Sponsor - BetterHelp - This episode is sponsored by BetterHelp.

From Hosanna to the Cross: When Praise Turns and Purpose Prevails • Sunday Service To Give: www.ToddCoconato.com/give Website: www.PastorTodd.org There is something deeply sobering about the journey from Palm Sunday to the cross. In just a matter of days, the atmosphere completely shifted. The same voices that cried out “Hosanna!” would soon shout “Crucify Him!” And if we're not careful, we'll read that as history and miss the warning and the revelation for our own lives today. Because this isn't just about what they did. It's about what people still do. On Palm Sunday, Jesus entered Jerusalem exactly as prophesied. Matthew 21:9 (NKJV) “Then the multitudes who went before and those who followed cried out, saying: ‘Hosanna to the Son of David! Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord! Hosanna in the highest!'” John 2:15–16 (NKJV) “When He had made a whip of cords, He drove them all out of the temple… and said… ‘Take these things away! Do not make My Father's house a house of merchandise!'” John 19:15 (NKJV) “But they cried out, ‘Away with Him, away with Him! Crucify Him!'” Isaiah 53:7 (NKJV) “He was oppressed and He was afflicted, Yet He opened not His mouth; He was led as a lamb to the slaughter…” John 10:18 (NKJV) “No one takes it from Me, but I lay it down of Myself…” 2 Corinthians 5:21 (NKJV) “For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.” Colossians 2:15 (NKJV) “Having disarmed principalities and powers, He made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them in it.” Luke 9:23 (NKJV) “If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow Me.” Romans 5:8 (NKJV) “But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” So what do we take away from Palm Sunday to the cross? Stay rooted in truth, not emotion. Don't follow Jesus for what He can do for you temporarily, follow Him for who He is eternally. Let Him be Lord, not just Savior. And don't just be part of the crowd that praises Him when it's easy. Be the one who stands when it's hard. Because at the end of the day, the same Jesus who rode into Jerusalem and the same Jesus who hung on that cross is still King. And He's still worthy, whether the crowd shouts or walks away. Because real faith doesn't just cry “Hosanna” in the moment of excitement, it stays faithful all the way to the cross.

What if everything you thought about power was backwards? On Palm Sunday, the crowd expected a conquering king — armies, strength, and victory. Instead, Jesus rode in on a donkey. In this message, we explore why that moment changes everything, and what it means to discover a King whose power looks nothing like the world's — but transforms everything it touches.

On Palm Sunday, the crowds shouted “Hosanna!”—but did they really understand what they were saying?In this episode, we explore Psalm 118 and its powerful connection to Jesus' entry into Jerusalem. What looked like a triumphant moment was actually pointing to rejection, sacrifice, and ultimate victory.Join us as we talk through:The meaning behind the crowd's praiseJesus as the cornerstone in Psalm 118The shift from celebration to crucifixionWhat Holy Week reveals about the heart of GodThis episode is an invitation to move beyond surface-level faith and encounter Jesus as He truly is.Scripture Focus: Psalms 118

On Palm Sunday, the crowd welcomed Jesus as King - but many misunderstood who He truly was. In this message, Pastor Angel explores the tension between praise and rejection, revealing how our expectations can shape (and sometimes distort) our view of Jesus. Discover what it means to follow the true King, not just the version we want. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

What do you do when Jesus doesn't meet your expectations? On Palm Sunday, the crowd celebrated Him as king—believing He came to fix everything they were facing. But within days, their celebration turned into disappointment… because Jesus didn't do what they thought He would. In this episode, we walk through Luke 19 and the tension between who Jesus is and what we expect from Him. Because if we're honest, we've all had moments where prayers went unanswered, situations didn't turn out, and God felt silent. But what if He's still working—just not the way we imagined? If you've ever wrestled with disappointment in your faith, this message is for you.   From Palm Sunday 03.29.26

On Palm Sunday, the crowds shouted “Hosanna”—but their expectations of Jesus were far different from the kind of King He came to be. This message walks through the tension between praise and true worship, exposing how easily our lips can honor God while our hearts drift elsewhere. As we enter Holy Week, it invites a personal reflection: where do we stand in the story, and are we following the real Jesus—or the version we hoped for?If you enjoyed this message, please review and share this message with someone who needs it.Connect with us at www.FamilyLife.ccIf you would like to support our mission financially, here are some ways you can donate to our church:Tap the text to the right to give via our Church Center App.Venmo/Zelle: Send to info@familylife.ccText any amount to 84321Visit www.FamilyLife.cc/Giving for more options.Thank you for listening and thank you for your generosity.

Nothing in life is truly free—everything carries a cost, whether in time, energy, or sacrifice. On Palm Sunday, we reflect on the ultimate cost of salvation: Jesus willingly endured profound physical, emotional, and spiritual suffering, ultimately giving His life to pay for our sin. His sacrifice not only secured forgiveness but also opened the way for all people to have direct access to God. The question we're left with is this: if this is what it cost, how will we respond—and who do we say Jesus is?Our regular service is at 10am on Sundays. We are located at 304 E.

On Palm Sunday, the crowd expected a king, but missed the Savior. This message explores how unmet expectations can blind us to God's work. Learn to pray boldly, hope fully, and trust God with the outcome, even when life doesn't go as planned.

On Palm Sunday, the Rev. Nick Lannon preaches a sermon on Luke 19, in which Jesus enters Jerusalem in triumph, and Luke 23, in which he is arrested and crucified. To save sinners, Jesus set his kingship aside, giving his righteousness to us.

On today's Bible Answer Man broadcast (03/30/26), Hank discusses Jesus Christ's triumphal entry into Jerusalem. This is, of course, celebrated by Christians as Palm Sunday, which the Western Church observed yesterday, and the Eastern Church will celebrate this coming Sunday. On Palm Sunday, we celebrate Jesus riding into Jerusalem, not as a political messiah, but rather in humility and peace in fulfillment of Zechariah's famed prophecy: “See, your king comes to you, righteous and victorious, lowly and riding on a donkey, on a colt, the foal of a donkey” (Zechariah 9:9 NIV). Christ's entrance into Jerusalem announced the establishment of the Kingdom of God. It was a foretaste of the time that He will gather His perfected bride and carry her over the threshold of Jordan into a New Jerusalem coming down out of heaven from God.

On Palm Sunday, the crowd celebrated while Jesus wept. In this message, we walk through Luke 19:28–44 and the tension of a King who didn't come to meet expectations, but to exceed them. As Pastor Josh Kelsey unpacks why Jesus wept over Jerusalem, we're invited to examine our own hearts, our expectations, and discover a love that leads not to power, but to the cross.

Immediately, nearly the entire world jumped on this story and of course blamed Israel with some even calling it "Christian Persecution"  Well, as usual there is more to this story than first meets the eye.

On Palm Sunday, the crowds shouted “Hosanna,” expecting a Savior who would conquer their enemies—but what Jesus came to do was far greater. As He rode humbly into Jerusalem, He wasn't heading for a throne, but a cross…on purpose. This message invites you to wrestle with the question: what if Jesus is not who we expected, but exactly who we need? Discover the depth of His love and the joy that carried Him all the way to the cross—for you.

Hosanna means "God save us." On Palm Sunday we explore the ways we long to be saved but how we often misunderstand the ways God wants to truly save us. 

On Palm Sunday, the crowd welcomed Jesus as King but many misunderstood who He truly was. Through the triumphal entry, we see that while many were curious, excited, or even impressed, only a few were truly committed. Palm Sunday reveals a deeper invitation, not just to celebrate Jesus, but to surrender to Him. Because the best life isn't found in admiring Jesus from a distance, but in fully following the Great I Am.

What happens when praise turns into pressure? On Palm Sunday, the crowd welcomed Jesus as King with shouts of "Hosanna!"—but just days later, many of those same voices cried out "Crucify Him." In this message, Pastor Stephen Mizell challenges us to examine the tension between our expectations of Jesus and the reality of who He truly is. Are we following Jesus… or just our expectations of Him?

On Palm Sunday, March 29th, 2026, Father Joshua invites us to be shaken out of our routine, just like the people of Jerusalem were shaken by Jesus' entrance. This isn't just another Sunday of another week: this is the holiest week of the year! We must give an answer to the question asked in the Gospel: "who is this?" Who is Jesus? Is he my savior and Lord? Is he the center of my life? Or he is he something else? Allow yourself to be shaken this week, by the death of God on a cross for you.

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

Have you ever felt like your life has lost the plot? On Palm Sunday, Pastor Tom VanAntwerp (Wilmington Campus Pastor) walks through to remind us that while the world—and often our own lives—can drift off course, Jesus never lost sight of the story. As crowds shout “Hosanna” (Save us!) and Jesus enters Jerusalem, we see a powerful contrast: a world confused about what matters most, and a Savior who knows exactly why He came—to rescue, restore, and invite us back into relationship with God. At the center of this message is a beautiful truth: Prayer is not just something we do—it's an invitation to take a seat at the table with God. If you've felt distracted, off-track, or distant from God, this message is an invitation to return—to slow down, pull up a chair, and rediscover the heart of faith through prayer.

Palm SundayOn Palm Sunday, we remember how crowds welcomed Jesus into Jerusalem with waving palm branches and loud sounds of “Hosanna.” Yet Luke 19:41 records that Jesus wept over the city as He approached. Why was Jesus weeping during this royal welcome?

On Palm Sunday, the often-overlooked figures Simon of Cyrene and Joseph of Arimathea show what true discipleship means: first embracing the cross, then laying down everything to follow Christ, and finally boldly living out faith in His mission.

On Palm Sunday, we're reminded that through Christ's suffering and resurrection, we are given a living hope. In 2 Corinthians 5, Paul points us to this truth: the promise of a resurrection body gives us courage to face both life and death. Because of Jesus, we don't live in fear—we live with purpose, confidence, and eternal hope.

On Palm Sunday we remember that ever since a new kind of king rode into Jerusalem, not on a warhorse, but on a donkey, bringing not hated, but healing, things have changed.

What if the King everyone waited in anticipation wasn't the King they expected? On Palm Sunday, Pastor Travis unpacks how Jesus' entry into Jerusalem fulfilled prophecy, revealed His true identity, and pointed to a mission far greater than a crown. This message reminds us that Jesus didn't come to take a throne—He came as the Lamb on assignment, headed to the cross for us. Tune in for a timeless Palm Sunday message.

On Palm Sunday, Jesus enters Jerusalem as King—but not in the way anyone expected. Riding on a donkey instead of a warhorse, he reveals a kingdom where power is defined by humility and victory comes through sacrifice. This message invites us to surrender to Jesus, let him reshape our view of power, and follow him in a way that brings the hope of the gospel to every table.Listen to the sermon on Apple Podcasts or Spotify at The Bridge Church Sermons.

On Palm Sunday, Pastor Mike Haman continues in the “Behold the Lamb” series by teaching through Jesus's triumphal yet humble entry to Jerusalem as the Messiah.

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].” 

On Palm Sunday, we explore the surprising way Jesus revealed His kingship—not through power, but through humility. As the Church enters Holy Week, we ask a deeper question—not just who the Holy Spirit is, but what He is saying to us right now. This episode is a call to reject pride, embrace humility, and live from the Father's approval rather than striving for our own.

On Palm Sunday we celebrate Jesus triumphal entry into Jerusalem, but the victory he came to achieve is different than what we expect.

On Palm Sunday, we remember the moment Jesus entered Jerusalem to shouts of “Hosanna,” as a hopeful crowd longed for a Savior. Drawing from Matthew 21, this message explores the tension between the king people expected and the King Jesus actually came to be. This sermon invites us to reflect on our own expectations and recognize Jesus as the true King we need.

The crowd was loud.The praise was real.The moment looked like victory.But they still missed Him.On Palm Sunday, Jesus enters Jerusalem as King—but not the kind of King people expected. And while the crowds celebrate, Jesus sees what they cannot… and He weeps.In this message, we look at how easy it is to praise Jesus and still misunderstand Him—and how the peace we're looking for is found not in changed circumstances, but in reconciliation with God.

On Palm Sunday, Chad Kincer continues our Lenten series teaching that Jesus enters Jerusalem as the Sovereign King, worthy of worship, who comes not to bring political deliverance but peace with God — a peace that will cost him everything on the cross.

On Palm Sunday we remember Jesus' triumphal entry into Jerusalem, and the beginning of Holy Week - a week that changed everything! Holy Week reminds us of how good our God is and all that Jesus has done for us. He lived a life that we can model ours after. In this Palm Sunday sermon, Pastor Brandon discusses how that revelation should impact us to live an unoffendable life.

What if Jesus isn't who you expected… but better than you imagined? On Palm Sunday, the crowd welcomed Jesus as King—waving palm branches and shouting “Hosanna!” But they were really cheering for the kind of Jesus they wanted. In this message, we explore John 12 and John 14 to see how people projected their own version of truth onto Jesus—while He came to reveal something far greater. He didn't come to be our way… He came to be THE way, the truth, and the life. If you've ever wrestled with disappointment, confusion, or unmet expectations in your faith, this message will challenge and encourage you to see Jesus for who He truly is. He's not the King we expect… He's the Savior we need.

On Palm Sunday, Chad Kincer continues our Lenten series teaching that Jesus enters Jerusalem as the Sovereign King, worthy of worship, who comes not to bring political deliverance but peace with God — a peace that will cost him everything on the cross.

On Palm Sunday 2026 Pastor BJ Sullivan delivers a message about THE Deliverer who delivered us from death. When the people shouted, 'Hosanna" they were asking Jesus to rescue them. They may have thought He was going to rescue them from the Roman government but what He did was SO much better. He rescued all of us from the power of death and the grave. Sin has lost its power! Death has lost its sting!

What does Hosanna really mean? On Palm Sunday, we shout "Hosanna in the highest"—but this ancient word is not a cheer of celebration. It is a cry for help: "Save us, we pray." In this sermon, we explore how that cry Is answered in impossibly to imagine ways, from Psalm 118 to the entry of Jesus into Jerusalem in Gospel of Matthew to our own day. In a time marked by fear, division, and loss of trust, "Hosanna" becomes our own prayer. Drawing on voices as diverse as John Calvin, Mikhail Bulgakov, and Maya Angelou, this sermon reflects on: • Our need for help in a fractured world • The loss of faith in one another • God's unexpected way of saving us—not through power, but through love Holy Week reveals a surprising truth: God's rescue comes not by force, but through the suffering, love, and self-giving of Christ. As the world trembles, we join the ancient cry:
Hosanna — Help us, God. The Very Rev. Dr. Malcolm Clemens Young Grace Cathedral, San Francisco, CA 2G8 Palm Sunday (Year A) 11a.m. Eucharist Sunday March 29th 2026 Matthew 21:1-11 Isaiah 50:4-9a Psalm 31:9-16 Philippians 2:5-11 Matthew 26:14-27:66

On Palm Sunday, crowds waved palm branches and shouted "Hosanna!" as Jesus entered Jerusalem. But this wasn't just a celebration—it was a declaration. They were answering the most important question any of us will ever face: Who is Jesus?The early church had a simple three-word creed: "Jesus is Lord." Not Caesar. Not our ambitions. Not our fears. Jesus alone. When we confess this truth, we're making an exclusive claim—He is Lord over every area of our lives, every competing voice, every would-be master.

On Palm Sunday, the crowds welcomed Jesus into Jerusalem expecting a political liberator who would overthrow Roman rule and restore Israel's independence. Jesus had something entirely different in mind, and it cost him everything. Pastor Kirt Anderson unpacks why the King who shattered every expectation ultimately fulfilled the deepest longing of every human heart.

On Palm Sunday, the crowd welcomed Jesus with one powerful word: "Hosanna!" — "Save us." Some cried it in desperation. Others sang it in celebration. Yet many missed the deeper salvation God was unfolding. This Sunday, we'll discover how Jesus came not just to change our circumstances, but to rescue us from sin and give us eternal life — turning our cry for help into a shout of joy.  

On Palm Sunday, the crowd welcomed Jesus with praise, celebration, and huge expectations. They believed they knew exactly what kind of king He would be and what He had come to do. But Jesus was doing something deeper than they could see. This message looks at the gap between what people expected from God and what God was actually doing. It's a gap that still feels familiar. Sometimes disappointment doesn't come because faith disappears, but because life stops looking like what had been hoped for. And in those moments, the question becomes whether trust can remain when expectations go unmet. Palm Sunday reminds us that Jesus is still worthy of praise, even when His work doesn't unfold the way it was imagined. And it reminds us that God is often doing something bigger, deeper, and better than can be seen in the moment.

What if your disappointment with God is actually rooted in the faulty expectations you brought to Him?On Palm Sunday, the crowds welcomed Jesus as King - but expected the wrong kind of King.In Mark 11:1–11, we explore the gap between what we expect from God and what Jesus actually came to do.What if He's not here to meet your expectations - but to transform them?This message will challenge you to surrender control, obey in the small things, and follow a King who leads through humility, not power.The Kingdom of God isn't life on your terms - it's life with Jesus as King, and that's good news.// SCRIPTURE REFERENCES //Mark 11:1-11, James 1:2-4, Philippians 3:10-11, Matthew 7:13-14, Psalm 118:25-26, Mark 10:45, Isaiah 53:5-6More info at the Bible Project: https://bibleproject.com/videos/mark/ // TAKE A NEXT STEP //Want to visit or discover more about Columbia View?

Jesus came as King, but not the kind people wanted.On Palm Sunday, crowds celebrated, shouted praise, and welcomed Jesus into Jerusalem. But their expectations were shaped by what they wanted most—power, control, and immediate relief. When Jesus didn't meet those expectations, many missed who He truly was.In this message, we're challenged to examine our own expectations of Jesus. Do we want a King who serves our plans, or are we willing to surrender to the King who transforms our hearts?Palm Sunday reminds us that the way Jesus saves isn't always the way we would choose. The way up is down. The path to life goes through surrender.The question is not just whether we celebrate Jesus, but whether we truly follow Him.

On Palm Sunday, we remember Jesus entering Jerusalem to a crowd cheering for the Son of David, the Messiah, the King who has arrived. Yet, days later a crowd will also chant, "Crucify him!" How do we receive Jesus?

On Palm Sunday, Jesus enters Jerusalem not as the kind of king people expected, but as the King they truly needed—riding on a donkey, marked by humility even as He carries full authority. While most triumphal entries celebrated victory after a battle, Jesus enters before the cross, revealing His confidence in the victory He is about to accomplish. This moment shows a King whose power is expressed through gentleness, mercy, and sacrificial love. As the city is stirred, people respond to Jesus in different ways—some resist, some question, and some surrender. That same choice remains today. The invitation is not just to believe in Jesus, but to lay down our lives before Him, recognizing that true discipleship is a journey of surrender to the One who already holds all authority.

On Palm Sunday, the crowds praised Jesus with passion but missed who He truly was. In this message, we explore John 17 and discover that Jesus didn't pray for hype-driven unity…He prayed for deep alignment with His heart, mission, and truth. This sermon challenges us to move beyond a version of Jesus we prefer and surrender to the real Jesus who transforms us.

On Palm Sunday we reflect on the passion of our Lord, from Jesus's entry into Jerusalem to his suffering and death as we approach Holy Week and the hope of our Lord's resurrection at Easter. Jesus's Passion reveals his great love for us, a love that does not count the cost; a love that knows no end. The Passion reminds us that there is nothing we experience in this world—false judgment, harsh treatment, betrayal, rejection, humiliation, or emotional or physical suffering—that the Lord has not already endured for our sake. Jesus identifies closely with our burdens and is never distant from us. He invites us to walk the path to Jerusalem with him and to unite our sufferings to his, with the assurance this is the path that leads to glory.
