From Triumph to Sorrow

Holy Week is upon us and billions of people the world over are called to remember, reflect, and [hopefully] celebrate the most important event, bar none, in human history — the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus Christ. As a church, we’re going to spend two Sundays exploring the climax of the inbreaking of God’s Kingdom and the inauguration of Redemption for humanity. We start with Palm Sunday, where the triumphal entry quickly turns to sorrow. Our texts this week were Mark 11:1-11, 14:28-42, and 14:66-72.

Toby Kurth joined us and brought the word. He reminded us that “you will fail Jesus, but he will never fail you.” Take a listen and pay attention to the themes of true power and humility, sorrow and suffering, denial and betrayal, and how Christ intercedes in/through them all.

Give the sermon text a read and a listen and we hope to see you this week at a Family Meal and/or a DNA group to dive even deeper.
