Palm Sunday Was a Misunderstanding… (The Unjust Judge Explained)

Palm Sunday is the conflicted image of a crowd that thinks Jesus is coming to face down Caesar, to conquer their enemies, to put his boot on the throat of Rome the way it has been done to them. It is the celebration of all the ways we think one more war will final bring us peace. And Jesus sits in the middle of it all and weeps. *** What if Palm Sunday wasn’t a celebration—but a misunderstanding? In this message, we explore Jesus’ parable of the unjust judge alongside his entry into Jerusalem. What we discover is unsettling: the crowd wanted power, but Jesus came with peace. They expected justice—but missed grace. And maybe… we still do. This Palm Sunday teaching wrestles with prayer, persistence, misplaced expectations, and the kind of faith Jesus wonders if he’ll even find when he returns. Because sometimes the hardest truth is this: What we want from God… is not what God wants for us. 📖 Luke 18 🌿 Palm Sunday | Parables of Grace Join us as we begin Holy Week by asking a deeper question: Will we recognize the way of Jesus—or repeat the crowd?
