PALM SUNDAY🍃

In Matthew 21:1–11, as Jesus approached Jerusalem, the text slowed down to describe something very specific.

He did not enter the city on foot.

He instructed His disciples to bring a donkey,
and Matthew recorded that this was done
“to fulfill what was spoken by the prophet”
(Matthew 21:4).

“Behold, your king is coming to you,
humble, and mounted on a donkey,
on a c**t, the foal of a beast of burden”
(Zechariah 9:9).

That detail required attention.

Jesus had walked throughout His ministry.
He moved from town to town on foot.
He did not rely on animals for travel.

So the question was not about necessity.

It was about intention.
This was the moment He chose
o enter Jerusalem publicly.

The crowds gathered.
They spread their cloaks on the road.

They shouted,
“Hosanna to the Son of David!”

The setting carried the expectation of a king.

But the manner of His arrival
did not match what many
would have anticipated.

In the ancient world, kings entered cities
in ways that displayed power.

A conquering ruler would come on a war horse,
accompanied by strength and force.

The image communicated authority
through dominance.

But the donkey conveyed something different.

It was not an animal of war.
It was associated with peace.
It carried burden, not weaponry.

By choosing the donkey,
Jesus did not avoid the claim of kingship.

He clarified it.
He fulfilled the prophecy,
but He also defined the
kind of king He was.

This was not a rejection of authority.

It was a redefinition of it.
The crowd recognized
the language of kingship.

They called Him “Son of David.”
They expected deliverance.

But their understanding of deliverance
was still shaped by visible power.

The donkey stood as a quiet contradiction.

It announced a kingdom
that would not advance
through force.

It pointed to a kingship
that would be expressed
through humility.

Reading the passage carefully,
the detail of the donkey
was not incidental.

It framed the entire moment.

Before any words were spoken,
before any actions unfolded
in Jerusalem, the manner
of His arrival already
communicated what was coming.

He entered as KING.

But not the kind of king
many were prepared to receive.

Later in the same week,
the tension became clear.

The crowd that welcomed Him
would soon turn.

The expectations they carried
did not align with the path He would take.

The One who entered on a donkey
would not take a throne.
He would go to a cross.
A king who came in humility
would rule through sacrifice.

Reading this passage slowly shows
that Jesus did not simply fulfill prophecy.
He revealed the nature of His kingdom
through the way He chose to arrive.

He did not come to overpower.
He came to give Himself.

And from the beginning,
even in the choice of a donkey,
that direction was already
being made visible.

Jesus calls His followers, not just to start well, but to finish well.

As you pause and reflect upon these meaningful truths to live by, ask yourself today:
Am I faithfully serving God?
Am I living with purity and integrity?
Am I relying on my strength or God?

He loves you deeply, His beloved. It is not too late to have a fresh encounter with the Lord and journey through this life, this time, with Him.

“Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.”— Mark 16:15

This is not just a command, but it is our calling, our mission, our bold step of faith.

As we reach out through this feeding ministry, we go beyond giving food, we carry the love of Jesus to every child, every heart, every home. Each meal is a message. Each act of kindness is a testimony. Each seed planted is eternal.

We go because He sent us. We serve because He first loved us. We believe because the Gospel transforms lives.

The next generation is not forgotten, they are chosen, called, and deeply loved by Jesus.

So we go. We preach. We plant. And we trust God for the harvest. 🌱

I hope you see the beauty of your brokenness.

Not the kind of beauty that pretends everything is fine. Not the kind that rushes healing or skips the hard parts. But the quiet, honest beauty of becoming, right in the middle of the cracks.

There are seasons when life feels unusually heavy. When prayers seem to echo back unanswered. When it feels like you’re doing your best to stay faithful, yet God feels silent. And in those moments, the easiest conclusion to jump to is: “Maybe I’ve been forgotten.”

But let me remind you of something simple and grounding:

A teacher is quiet during the test.

Silence doesn’t mean absence. Stillness doesn’t mean neglect. And struggle doesn’t mean failure.

Tests aren’t meant to be easy. If they were, they wouldn’t reveal anything. Tests are meant to show what’s already been formed in you and what still needs strengthening. They expose your character, refine your faith, and stretch your endurance. Not to break you, but to build you.

So if you’re in a tough season right now, if things don’t make sense, if progress feels slow, if you’re tired, questioning, or barely holding on,

You are not forgotten.

You are being trained. You are being shaped. You are becoming someone deeper, steadier, and stronger than before.

Even the broken parts of you are not wasted. God has a way of turning cracks into channels for grace. What feels like weakness now may soon become the very place where strength flows out of you to others.

So don’t rush this season. Don’t despise the process. And don’t mistake silence for abandonment.

The test will end. The lesson will be clear. And one day, you’ll look back and realize, this was the season that changed you.

I hope you see the beauty of your brokenness because God already does.

“2 Count it all joy, my brothers, when you meet trials of various kinds, 3 for you know that the testing of your faith produces steadfastness. 4 And let steadfastness have its full effect, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing.” James 1:2-4

We invite everyone again this coming January 30 (Friday) at 7:00pm! 🔥

In the stillness of the night, we come away from the noise to encounter God.

This is more than a gathering. It’s an invitation to linger, to listen, and to surrender. A night of unhurried worship, prayer, and soaking in the presence of the Lord.

Come thirsty.
Come ready.
Come and dwell.
