What Are You Really Asking For? The True Jesus of Palm Sunday.
Sermon Summary: This Palm Sunday message challenges believers to examine what they're truly seeking from Jesus. Using the account of Jesus' triumphal entry into Jerusalem, the sermon reveals how the crowds wanted a political savior to overthrow Roman rule, but Jesus came to offer entrance into an eternal kingdom. The pastor emphasizes that many Christians today settle for a shallow relationship with Jesus—merely "checking boxes" of salvation, baptism, and church attendance—while missing the abundant, Spirit-filled life God intends. Drawing from personal testimony about his father's radical transformation from alcoholism to passionate discipleship, the message calls believers to pursue the real Jesus who still performs miracles, fills with the Holy Spirit, and gives divine purpose for everyday life. The sermon warns against asking "amiss" for temporary pleasures or earthly relief while missing the eternal, powerful relationship Jesus offers.
