Message: The Palm & The Passion

Scripture: Zechariah 9:9; Matthew 21:1–11; Hosea 2:14,16–17

This Palm Sunday, we explore the dramatic shift from the “Hosannas” of the entry to the “Crucify Him” of the trial, examining why our own devotion can often feel just as fickle. By drawing on the ancient wisdom of the Desert Fathers and Mothers, we learn how to move away from “crowd-sourced” faith and toward a single-hearted pursuit of God’s presence. Through the stories of Arthur, a contemporary man navigating life’s disappointments, we see how the desert is not a place of punishment, but a space where God re-orders our “disordered loves.”
