Life doesn’t always go the way we expect, and neither did Jesus’ grand entrance into Jerusalem. In this all-age Palm Sunday message, Captain Rob Westwood-Payne explores the disconnect between our expectations and God’s plans through the lens of three groups present during Jesus’ triumphal entry: the crowd, the religious leaders, and the disciples.

Through rich storytelling and relatable examples, this message challenges us to examine our own perspectives. Are we self-centered, unteachable, or simply misaligned with God’s will? And most importantly, will we let Jesus make a grand entrance into our hearts this Holy Week?

Whether you’re inviting Jesus into your life for the first time or once again, this message is a powerful reminder that resurrection hope is available - even if things don’t go as expected.
