When Jesus Doesn't Meet Your Expectations

from If I Had More Time... · host Rhythm Church

Episode 40 — Palm Sunday, surrender, and the Jesus we often misunderstand.As we step into Easter week, we’re diving into one of the most powerful (and sobering) moments in Scripture:The same crowd that shouted “Hosanna” would soon shout “Crucify Him.”Why?Because Jesus didn’t meet their expectations.In this episode of If I Had More Time, we unpack: • The deeper meaning behind Palm Sunday • Why people turned on Jesus • The danger of creating a version of Jesus in our own image • What it actually means to surrender • The tension between God’s grace and His justice • How this all connects to Easter and your life right nowWe also talk about: • Jesus entering on a donkey… and returning one day on a white horse • The urgency of salvation and why “later” isn’t promised • The Last Supper and what communion really represents • Why Jesus washing Judas’ feet should challenge all of us⸻As we head into Easter, take a moment and ask:What do I need to surrender?If this episode encouraged or challenged you, drop “SURRENDER” in the comments.And if someone came to mind while watching this—send it to them.⸻🔗 Want to support what God is doing at Rhythm Church?Check out the link below.⸻📲 Stay connected with us for more episodes, clips, and content throughout the week.Watch the latest sermons: https://www.myrhythmchurch.com/rhythm-sermonsNew to Rhythm?
