Palm Sunday

Palm Sunday is a celebration—but it’s also a warning.

In Matthew 21, the crowd welcomed Jesus with shouts of “Hosanna!”—declaring Him King. But within days, everything changed.

What went wrong?

The issue wasn’t their enthusiasm.

It was their expectation.

They wanted a political deliverer.

Jesus came as a suffering Savior.

In this message, we unpack the dangers of:

Selective listening (hearing only what we want from God)

Conditional worship (praising Jesus only when He meets expectations)

Misaligned hope (wanting God to move… but on our terms)

Through the P.A.L.M. framework, we see what Jesus actually came to do:

Propitiate God’s justice

Atone for sin

Liberate from sin and death

Minister reconciliation through us

The same question the crowd faced is the one we face today:

👉 Are we following the real Jesus… or the one we prefer?
