The Way of Resistance: Joyful Protest

(Sermon preached February 22, 2026) When Jesus entered Jerusalem, it was the beginning of his last week. In Jerusalem, he confronts the powers of darkness that have loomed over his ministry. This series will focus on each day of Jesus' last week according to the Gospel of Mark beginning with the text for this sermon, Mark 11:1-11. Jesus' entrance into Jerusalem wasn't a spontaneous celebration; it was an organized act of resistance.
