Breaking The Broken Mold – Week 1 | Breaking The Broken Mold

Palm Sunday begins with a parade that looks like a royal welcome — and ends up exposing three familiar failures: leadership that hides behind status, power that profits from people, and religion that masquerades as devotion while bearing no fruit. If you've felt let down by leaders, worn out by religious routines, or wary of institutions that use faith for gain, this message puts those frustrations squarely into view. The sermon traces how Jesus intentionally breaks each broken mold: entering humbly on a colt, overturning commerce in the temple, and exposing the hollowness of performative piety — then offering himself as the true alternative. It’s not a call to more religious effort but an invitation to a different kind of leadership, power, and worship that is gentle, sacrificial, and life-giving. Listen for the practical tenderness that makes God approachable and the surprising ways that grace begins to bear real fruit.
