Matthew 21:1–11 - The Triumphal Entry

About this episode

Pastor Ian Crooks discusses the significance of the Triumphal Entry of Jesus into Jerusalem as described in Matthew 21:1–11.

The Triumphal Entry | Matthew 21:1–11 | Pastor Ian Crooks On Palm Sunday, we remember the moment Jesus entered Jerusalem—not as the conquering king people expected, but as the humble King we desperately need. In this sermon from Free Grace Vernon, Pastor Ian Crooks walks through Matthew 21:1–11 and unpacks the significance of the triumphal entry. The crowds shouted “Hosanna,” laying down palm branches and cloaks in celebration—but many misunderstood the kind of King Jesus truly is. Join us as we prepare our hearts for Easter and see the beauty of a King who saves. Free Grace Vernon (PCA) 1802 45th Avenue, Vernon, BC Sundays at 10:30am | freegracevernon.ca
