Palm Sunday The Unexpected Entry

Published: March 25, 2018, 10 a.m.

Message Summary: Jesus gave notice to the Sadducees and Pharisees that they kingdom of God they were waiting for had already arrived. But somehow they missed it. In spite of all the commotion that surrounds Jesus as He enters Jerusalem, He stays present to what\u2019s happening in God\u2019s kingdom. He invites us to open our eyes to His kingdom and refuse to let past wounds or future worry get in the way of being present. We have the opportunity this week to take notice of the kingdom of God in the midst of us.

Field Notes Series: Whatever terms we use \u2014 Christ follower, Christian, Disciple, Believer \u2014 authentic relationship and apprenticeship to Jesus is not a check box or merely a set of beliefs. It\u2019s not a religion we belong to. It\u2019s not a stationary thing \u2014 it\u2019s a journey, a movement and it is disorienting at times. In fact, as you read the story of Jesus in the book of Luke, the longest section \u2014the part that gets us to Good Friday and Easter \u2014 is called \u201cthe Travel Narrative.\u201d It reads like a travelogue of sorts. Luke 9:51 says, \u201cAs the days approached\u2026He set His face to go to Jerusalem.\u201d On the way to the most defining event in history \u2014 Jesus explains, teaches and course corrects what life with Him is all about. Join us as we travel with Jesus to Holy Week, Good Friday and beyond!
