This Palm Sunday (13 April) at 11am at Calvary Motherwell.
Imagine the atmosphere in Jerusalem—the city is buzzing with excitement. Crowds flood the streets as Passover approaches, and the air is filled with anticipation. Then, suddenly, a ripple of movement spreads through the city.
“He’s coming!” someone shouts.
People rush to the gates, pushing past each other, eager to catch a glimpse of the man who raised the dead, healed the blind, and calmed storms with a word.
But then… a strange sight.
Not a mighty war horse. Not a golden chariot.
Instead, a man on a donkey.
This is not the entrance of a conquering king. Or is it?
Today, we step into this moment—the Triumphal Entry—and discover that Jesus’ choice of a donkey wasn’t weakness; it was a declaration. A declaration of a King who defies expectations, a King who rules not by force, but by humility, peace, and sacrifice.
We’ll be looking at Matthew 21:1-5 and see what this moment truly means for us today. All welcome!
