Sermons

This Palm Sunday sermon reflects on the full meaning of Holy Week, showing how Jesus’ triumphal entry begins a journey that leads to the cross and ultimately the resurrection. Rev. Dr. John Kaiser reminds us that while the crowds praised Jesus as King, many misunderstood His mission, expecting political power instead of a humble Savior. He emphasizes that Jesus knowingly entered Jerusalem to fulfill God’s plan of salvation, even as He foresaw suffering and rejection. The sermon challenges believers to examine whether their faith is based on true devotion or changing expectations, like the crowd that cheered one day and turned away the next. Drawing from Acts, the message highlights the importance of living as a faithful community—gathering, worshiping, and remaining steadfast in Christ. Palm Sunday, then, is not just a celebration, but a call to follow Jesus in humility, obedience, and trust. Ultimately, it points forward to the eternal hope of resurrection and the day when all will recognize Jesus as Lord.
