“Tell the daughter of Zion, behold your king is coming to you lowly and sitting on a donkey.”
Pastor Art frames Palm Sunday as the start of Holy Week and a prophetic, decisive confrontation not against Rome but against spiritual powers. Jesus entered Jerusalem to declare victory over Satan, pour out God's unconditional love, and call people to genuine repentance and salvation — even as the crowd misunderstood and remained spiritually blind.
““Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion…behold your king is coming to you…he's mounted on a donkey.””
Pastor Steve Wilburn preaches a Palm Sunday message reflecting on Jesus’ entry into Jerusalem as a ‘memorable event,’ drawing three main lessons: Jesus wept over a people who would reject him, he zealously cleansed the temple, and he issued a sober warning calling for wholehearted commitment to him. The sermon connects the Palm Sunday celebration to the gospel: Jesus’ sacrificial death and resurrection, forgiveness of sin, and the call to repentance and authentic discipleship.
“fulfilling the prophecy in Zechariah that the king, the Messiah, would come in riding on a donkey”
A Live Free podcast episode that opens with church announcements and testimonies, then walks through two main teaching tracks: (1) Matthew 21—Jesus’ triumphal entry, the Good Samaritan connection, and how Christians should engage politics (avoid deifying or denying politics; practical watchouts and discipleship as a 24/7 vocation), and (2) an explanation of the Nephilim (Genesis 6): major interpretive options, problems with extra‑biblical sources like the Book of Enoch, and a pastoral caution against obsessive speculation.
“'Fear not, daughter of Zion; behold, your king is coming, seated on a donkey's colt,' quoted as 'as it is written.'”
Pastor Steve Wilburn's Palm Sunday message "His Plan" (John 11–12) explains how Jesus intentionally delays, demonstrates costly devotion, and receives public praise as part of God's redemptive purpose. Using Lazarus' resurrection, Mary's costly anointing, and the triumphal entry, he shows that God's timing displays glory, true worship costs, and public acclaim can be fleeting. The sermon issues a call to repentance, invites attenders to Good Friday and Easter services, and offers new-believer resources.
