Good morning. Welcome. Thank you for coming to church. It’s a, it’s an exciting time. Palm sunday easter sunday and the christian calendar is key hallmark passages and moments in the life and calendar of a church and the people next week, we’re giving out candy to your kids. I think this week parents, we have a bunch of baby chicks that they have upstairs that they’re giving to your kids, so don’t, don’t mind the mess. First service said there was a little mess, but we’ve cleaned it up and they’ll, they’ll send your kids home with a bunch of baby chickens. That’ll be great. You know, you can, we do interesting things as a culture, don’t we with easter, but thank you for coming this morning. I’m excited to celebrate this morning with you. Um, next week’s the egg hunt. It’s exciting. There’s a traditional call and response thing that happens this calendar time of the year for christians. Um, someone says he has risen. The congregation says that’s next week, not yet. Right now in the life cycle of a church, jesus is on his triumphal entry into Jerusalem. And that’s palm sunday. And that’s, we’re gonna be looking at this morning. Uh, jesus triumphal entry into Jerusalem Before we jump into the passage, Mark 11 1 through 11, we’re looking at the graphic accounts of just entering the scene of mankind. Um I’d like to pray. That’s okay. So by your heads with me and join me as we pray Lord. I thank you for this morning. I thank you for today. I thank you for this being a visited planet. This being the planet that you’ve come. You’ve come to communicate. You’ve come to conquer our big enemies. Lord, the world, the flesh and the devil. You’ve come to give us life and meaning and purpose. You come to do so much in the life of a christian or we just, we just want to focus on you think of you, worship you celebrate you this morning as a church, as an individuals and as a body of christians or you just want to look to you and look to your gospel account of Mark’s testimony about you. I pray you just really you entered the scene of mankind in a humble and dramatic way and you are exiting the scene of mankind in a humble and dramatic way and you will return in a dramatic, glorified way. Lord I pray that you would, we would take take things serious this morning. As many women I pray, we would not handle the word of God lightly. We’d handle it correctly. As individuals, helped me to communicate correctly as a, as a, as a brother communicating the word of God to my brothers and sisters correctly. Lord, I ask that you would help us to make this moment in our life matter. Help us to learn about you, Help us to love you and help us to walk away desiring to live differently, lived more biblically because of today’s passage. We commit this time to you in jesus name Amen. Uh, the title we have is humble king. Great Savior, humble king. Great Savior, Mark 11 1 through 11. Um I workshopped a few other titles. One is a donkey, a king and you, how was the, that was the other one, A third option that didn’t make the cutting board that I’m not putting out there, but we’re just talking about uh juices Uber, that’s the, that’s the 3rd, 3rd title we’re looking at this morning, but the Book of Mark is said to be a passion narrative focusing on the last week of jesus’s life. And if you read the book of Mark or no Mark, he really has the most briefest gospel accounts of any of the four other gospel accounts and he says immediately all the time and he’s just rushing from one thing to the next. It’s like he’s from the Northeast and he has a desire to really get through what’s happening next. And so uh gospel commentaries joke about how all of Mark is a quick, immediate build up to this last week of juices life, Mark 11 through Mark 16. Um, and it’s this quick and sudde…
