The Road to the Cross | John 12:12-19 | When Jesus Disrupts Our Expectations

Why does Jesus come into Jerusalem on a donkey? Why are the crowds waving palm branches and crying out “Hosanna”? And what happens when our assumptions about God collide with His greater plan?

In this Palm Sunday message, Pastor Mark walks us through the familiar but profound moment in John 12:12–16. We explore how Jesus redefines kingship—not through political revolution but through suffering, sacrifice, and glory. This message will challenge you to consider the ways we reshape Jesus in our image and call you to receive the Savior as He truly is.
