About this listen

 This Palm Sunday message by Pastor Lonnie invites us to reflect on Jesus’ final, symbolic entrance into Jerusalem. As the crowd shouted “Hosanna!” and laid palm branches before Him, Jesus deliberately chose to ride a colt—fulfilling Zechariah’s prophecy and declaring Himself a King who comes in peace. Yet beneath the celebration, Jesus saw the misunderstanding in their hearts. They expected a political liberator, not a suffering servant.

Jesus wept, not for Himself, but for a people who could not see beyond their hopes for revolution to embrace the transforming power of love. The message challenges us to recognize Jesus in our midst today—not merely as a Savior we worship in joy, but as a humble King who calls us to peace, compassion, and sacrificial love. As we begin Holy Week, we are invited to follow Jesus—not just through the crowd, but to the cross and onward to resurrection life.
