In this Palm Sunday episode of The Collective Table, Jenell Coker explores the Triumphal Entry of Jesus through a fresh lens. Starting with the fascinating Koffer illusion, Jenell illustrates how our cultural backgrounds shape our perspectives and what we are conditioned to see.
She dives into the historical context of Matthew 21, contrasting Jesus's humble, peasant procession on a donkey with Pontius Pilate's imperial parade of Roman military power happening on the exact same day. Discover why the story of Palm Sunday is more than just a sanitized tale for children—it is a profound act of political theater that challenges our modern obsessions with power, wealth, and privilege. Join Oceanside Sanctuary Church as we are reminded to look past our fickle nature and keep our eyes on Jesus as our "True North."
