Palm Sunday: Love That Arrived

Today, Will Dyer offers a Palm Sunday teaching to kick off a three-part Holy Week series. Why do all four gospels provide an account of an otherwise unremarkable event? Perhaps there is a deeper truth to be found here. Please join us on Friday and Sunday for our Good Friday and Easter Sunday services, both starting at 10:00AM in the Newmarket SilverCity.

Please find the slide deck for this week's teaching here.

Home Church Questions:

1. What stood out to you from Sunday’s teaching?

2. How can all four gospel accounts be true if they aren’t the same? 

3. Read John 12:12-19, Luke 19:28-40, Mark 11:1-11, and Matthew 21:1-11. What stands out to you from these passages?

4. Why do you think the ordinary people in the crowd were able to see the truth about Jesus easier than the religious leaders?

5. Where in your own life do you find yourself acting or thinking like the Pharisees?

6. There is an apparent inconsistency between a king riding on a donkey while also being victorious. How can we reconcile this?

7. What does it mean to you that love has arrived? How might it help us understand the rest of the Easter story to frame it this way?

8. Pray with and for one another, our church community, and our world.
