Palm Sunday 2025

Palm Sunday Sermon | The Peaceable Kingdom

Why did Jesus enter Jerusalem on a donkey? What kind of kingdom was He bringing?

In this Palm Sunday message, “The Peaceable Kingdom,” we explore Luke 19:28–40, Matthew 21:1–11, and Zechariah 9:9–10 to uncover how Jesus defied expectations—not with violence or political conquest, but with peace, humility, and compassion.

🕊️ Jesus came to bring peace on earth, not just peace in heaven. 🙌 The crowd shouted “Hosanna!”—a cry for rescue. But Jesus offered a greater liberation: freedom from fear, division, and spiritual bondage.

📌 Key Scriptures:

• Luke 19:28–40 — “Blessed is the king who comes in the name of the Lord!”
• Matthew 21:1–11 — “Hosanna in the highest heaven!”
• Zechariah 9:9–10 — The prophecy of the peaceful King

🪞Reflection & Application: This week, create space for intentional solitude and practice The Daily Advocate Affirmation:

1. Pause and breathe.
2. Reflect on God’s love.
3. Ask: “Holy Spirit, whom are You calling me to advocate for today?”
4. Write your affirmation: “Today, I choose to advocate for myself by…”
5. Pray for courage, kindness, and self-compassion.
6. Journal and reflect.

Let Jesus transform your inner dialogue—from harsh criticism to compassionate advocacy.

🙏 Closing Prayer: “Lord Jesus, we echo the cry, ‘Hosanna—save us!’ May we surrender our small expectations and embrace Your greater peace. Make us advocates of Your love, in a world that longs for healing.”
