Amanda Dunn | 03.29.26 | Palm Sunday Expectations

On Palm Sunday, we continue in our Kingdom Governance direction by looking at the moment Jesus was declared King—and the tension between expectation and reality.The crowd recognized Him, honored Him, and welcomed Him—but through the lens of what they thought a king should be. They expected power, control, and visible overthrow. Yet Jesus came revealing a different kind of Kingdom—one marked by humility, peace, and transformation from within.This message invites us to examine our own expectations. Where have we shaped Jesus into our image? Where are we asking Him to meet our definition of victory instead of yielding to His?Because Palm Sunday isn’t just a moment of celebration—it’s a revealing. A revealing of how easily we can recognize Him, yet still misunderstand Him.As we move toward the cross, we are invited to lay down our expectations and allow Jesus to define what His kingship truly looks like. Not just for us—but within us.Because Kingdom Governance is not about the kind of King we want—it’s about surrendering to the King He truly is.
