It’s Palm Sunday, and while the crowds welcomed Jesus with palm branches and shouts of “Hosanna!” many held illusions of a conquering warrior-king who’d fix everything on their terms. In this sixth week of our “Stripped” series, we uncover how Christ’s entry into Jerusalem shatters our worldly expectations of comfort, prosperity, and quick triumph. By riding in on a donkey, Jesus shows us the humble, sacrificial Messiah we need, not the one we might want. If you’ve ever felt disillusioned when faith or life didn’t pan out your way, join us to learn why letting go of our illusions is the first step toward embracing the cross’s real hope.Key Scripture Passages• Zechariah 9:9 – A humble King on a donkey• John 12:12–15 – The Triumphal Entry• Matthew 16:24–25 – “If anyone would come after Me, let him deny himself…”Come ready for honest reflection on a Messiah who conquers sin through self-denial rather than earthly showdowns—reminding us that, as Easter nears, God’s kingdom is greater than our greatest illusions.STUDY GUIDE:https://docs.google.com/document/d/1LcIw_Udbn_S8lA7qo75qDw1sPm1GSlYIJngoWyIXOYk/edit?usp=sharingLet’s walk this Lenten journey together—hit “Subscribe,” share the link, and spread the word!CONNECT WITH INNOVATE CHURCH HERE:Our Discord community - https://discord.gg/2P2qY5jdMETwitch Channel - https://twitch.tv/innovatechurchPastor G - https://twitch.tv/letsseewithpastorgOur Facebook community - https://www.facebook.com/innovatecccOur website - https://www.innovateccc.com/Innovate Church is a digital church designed for individuals like you who cannot or choose not to attend a physical church.
