Hosanna / Vulnerable Resistance

from Peace of the City · host Manhattan Mennonite Fellowship

In this Palm Sunday message, Pastor Jason Storbakken reflects on the radical act of Jesus entering Jerusalem—not on a warhorse, but on a donkey. It was a deliberate move of humility, vulnerability, and resistance without violence. Set against the backdrop of empire, crucifixion, and fear, the crowd’s cry of “Hosanna!” was not just praise—it was a plea for liberation.What does it mean to follow Jesus today through vulnerable resistance? How do we confront systems of domination—not with retaliation, but with love that disrupts, heals, and transforms?Rooted in Philippians 2:5–11 and liberation theology, this sermon calls us to walk the path of peace, to overturn tables of injustice, and to remember: love is not weakness. Love is power. And in the end, love will win.Join us Sundays at 4 PM at the 15th Street Friends Meeting House for worship rooted in peace, justice, and community—and follow us on Instagram @manhattanmennonite to stay connected.
