Palm Sunday: An Unexpected Warning

This Palm Sunday message invites us to look beyond the surface of
celebration and examine our hearts. The story of Jesus' triumphal
entry into Jerusalem, found in Matthew 21, reveals a profound
truth: our expectations of God can sometimes blind us to His true
nature and purpose. We're challenged to consider whether we're
seeking Jesus for who He truly is or merely for what He can do
for us. The sermon draws a powerful parallel between the temple
in Jerusalem and our own hearts as God's dwelling place. Just as
Jesus cleansed the temple, He desires to 'flip the tables' in our
lives, removing anything that hinders our intimacy with Him. This
message encourages us to reflect on our own faith journey, asking
ourselves if we're truly seeking God's presence or just His
presents. As we enter Holy Week, we're called to prepare our
hearts, recognizing Jesus as the humble, righteous, and
victorious King who desires a genuine relationship with us above
all else.
