Palm Sunday Special: When God Doesn't Meet Our Expectations
On this Palm Sunday, we explore what happens when God works differently than we anticipate. Like the Jerusalem crowds who welcomed Jesus with "Hosanna!" only to reject him days later, we too struggle when divine plans don't match our expectations. Through honest reflections on disappointment, power, and surrender, this message challenges our understanding of how God operates. Rather than a conquering king on horseback, Jesus arrived on a donkey, demonstrating that true power looks like humble service. As we journey through Holy Week, we're invited to loosen our grip on control and embrace God's unexpected—yet infinitely better—plans for our lives.
