Palm Sunday 2026

Luke 19:28-40 the message

Blessed is he who comes,
the king in God’s name!
All’s well in heaven!
Glory in the high places!

• A day of joy and acceptance for all the wrong reasons.

Why did they praise and accept Him?

• They were looking for political freedom and a way out from under Roman rule. Someone who would over throw current powers.
• They weren’t concerned about spiritual health, they had that under control with all their laws, ceremonies, and sacrifices.

Why did you first praise and accept Him?

• Did you desire a better life?
• Was it status driven?
• Maybe you understood the need for salvation.
• Spiritual health over shadows any other needs.

Luke 19:41-44 the message

• This day also marks the beginning of a week that would be full of change and challenge.

They refused to change and resisted the challenge.

• They wouldn’t give up tradition and submit to the challenge of following Him.

Have you refused change and hid from the challenge to follow Him?

• As you have been serving Christ…….
• How have you struggled with tradition?
• Have you found yourself slipping away from following Him?
• Seeing Jesus and recognizing Him for who He really is are 2 completely different things.
• We can look in the bible and see Jesus.
• We can know who He is based on what we read and what we are told.
• To recognize Him for who He really is, is much different, it is the difference between looking through a glass of water that distorts your vision high definition.

2 Corinthians 3:16-18 the message

• We look at this passage like it’s a day in the future but it’s about the day we are living in now.
