Close to Jesus but Missing Jesus | Michael Newton
from Boise Community Church Hosted by Boise Community Church
PALM SUNDAY | Close to Jesus but Missing Jesus Palm Sunday is known for celebration—crowds cheering, palm branches waving, and voices shouting “Hosanna.” But in the middle of all the praise, Jesus is doing something unexpected… He’s weeping. In this message from Luke 19v28–44, we explore the tension of a moment where people were incredibly close to Jesus—yet still missed Him. They saw His miracles, called Him King, and worshiped loudly… but their expectations were misplaced. They wanted a Savior on their terms, not the King who came to bring true peace. How often do we do the same? This sermon is a sobering and hopeful invitation to examine our own hearts: Are we following Jesus for who He truly is, or for who we want Him to be? Are we seeking changed circumstances, or surrendered lives? Don’t miss your moment with God. This Palm Sunday, we’re reminded—being near Jesus isn’t the same as knowing Him.
