The Unjust Judge, Palm Sunday, and the Peace We Miss - Jeremy Duncan

About this episode

This episode explores the themes of grace and justice in relation to Palm Sunday and the entry of Jesus into Jerusalem.

Palm Sunday is full of celebration—but also confusion. In this message, we hold together two powerful moments: • The parable of the unjust judge (Luke 18) • Jesus’ quiet, subversive entry into Jerusalem Together, they reveal something surprising about God: Grace doesn’t always look like justice. And peace doesn’t always come the way we expect. As we step into Holy Week, this teaching invites us to reconsider what we’re hoping for—and whether we’re ready for the kind of kingdom Jesus actually brings. 🙏 A reflection on prayer, persistence, and faith 🌿 A different way to understand Palm Sunday 🕊️ A call to recognize the peace we often miss ★ Support this podcast ★
