Message 03/29/2026 - Palm Sunday Pressure - Text: John 12:12-43

About this episode

This episode reflects on the contrasting reactions of the crowd during Palm Sunday and the implications for personal faith today.

Imagine being part of the crowd that sees Jesus riding a colt into Jerusalem. Are you shouting, "Hosanna! Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord!"? And then fast forward to the end of the week. Are you part of the crowd shouting "Crucify Him! Crucify Him!"? Now, imagine being Jesus, and seeing those same people at different times who change their tune. How do you feel? Finally, think of yourself today, many years after these moments. What does Palm Sunday and Holy Week do for you?
