Come Follow Me – Week 6 | Jesus Enters As A King

On Palm Sunday a crowd cheers for a king, but many of us are wrestling with a different tension: we want a leader who wields power for our plans, while our lives are quietly falling apart under our own drive to control, perform, and protect ourselves. This message meets that tension head-on—calling out the impulse to market and master your life and naming the hard choice Jesus forces on everyone who listens. The sermon lays out three surprising claims about Jesus: he confronts us with an uncompromising lordship, he rules in ways that overturn worldly expectations, and he comes to bring healing and harmony by giving up power rather than seizing it. Expect a plain, compassionate invitation to let go of self-rule and to imagine a different kind of strength—one that wins by weakness and heals by service. Listen for the image that reorients what a real king does.
