Palm Sunday
What do you look forward to the most when Spring arrives?
What stood out to you most from the message?
What is something you are passionate about and/or looking forward to in life right now? Why does it capture your attention?
Is there something you have felt has a hold on you or has been distracting you lately? Share with the group.
What is your reaction when you hear you are made in the image of God? How could it change your outlook on life going forward?
What is something in your life you tend to prioritize and put above Jesus?
Why do you think it’s easy for the things of this world to start to take your focus and energy?
Read Matthew 21:4-5.
Why is it surprising that Jesus enters Jerusalem in this way? In what ways has Jesus surprised you in your life?
What’s one step you can take this week to make Jesus the King of your whole life?
Let’s end our time praying together. You can say something like;
“God, you provided a way for us to experience true freedom through Jesus. Help us to find our identity in you. Give us wisdom and strength to serve you as King. Amen.”
Palm Sunday: parades, palms, and a donkey. Cute. But let’s be honest—this day was never about waving branches. It’s about asking one uncomfortable question: Who’s actually calling the shots in your life? (Spoiler: it might not be who you think.)
Brian dives into the gritty side of Holy Week—what people hoped Jesus would be, what he actually was, and why most of the crowd bailed on him a few days later. Hint: He didn’t fit their agenda. You’ll hear about cloaks, freedom, religious drama, and a woman who went from “God probably forgot me” to “I’m getting baptized right now.” It’s raw. It’s real. It might sting a little. So yeah, if you’ve ever tried to get Jesus to cosign your plans, this one’s for you. Hit play. Let it mess with you—in the best way.
