Message Notes:

Holy Week

Palm Sunday

TODAY:
Kicking off Love Week

Main idea:

Even though it was hard, Jesus persevered through that last week because he loves us.

That motivates us to persevere through difficulty as well.

MY GOAL:
For you to be reflective all week long leading up to resurrection Sunday as we tell the story of Jesus’ last week on earth.

• Daily videos -

TODAY:

PALM SUNDAY

• Sunday (Palm Sunday)

• The first day of Holy Week

• CONTEXT - People just witnessed Lazarus being raised after being in the tomb for 4 days - John 11

Text - John 12:12-15 – 12The next day the great crowd that had come for the Feast heard that Jesus was on his way to Jerusalem. 13They took palm branches and went out to meet him, shouting, “Hosanna” “Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!” “Blessed is the King of Israel!” 14Jesus found a young donkey and sat upon it, as it is written, 15”Do not be afraid, O Daughter of Zion; see, your king is coming, seated on a donkey’s colt.” NIV

PALM SUNDAY

REMEMBER – The crowds who worshipped him, crucified him later.

THIS WEEK – Make a fresh commitment to worship Jesus until the end.

Weekly Reflection:

HOLY MONDAY:

REMEMBER – The fig tree not producing fruit. The money changers getting cleared out.

THIS WEEK - Do a cleansing (Outside money changers / Inside fig tree)

Weekly Reflection:

HOLY TUESDAY:

REMEMBER – 2 groups were forming, those that wanted to kill him and those who chose to follow him.

THIS WEEK – Ask yourself…which one am I?

HOLY WEDNESDAY

REMEMBER – Judas tried to take his destiny into his own hands

THIS WEEK - Release your need for control and self-preservation

HOLY THURSDAY
REMEMBER – Servanthood. Communion.
THIS WEEK - Follow his example of servant hood

HOLY FRIDAY
REMEMBER – His crucifixion
THIS WEEK - Remember his sacrifice

Matt 26:38-39 – 38 …“My soul is overwhelmed with sorrow to the point of death…39…“My Father, if it is possible, may this cup be taken from me. Yet not as I will, but as you will.”

Main idea:

Even though it was hard, Jesus persevered through that last week because he loves us.

That motivates us to persevere through difficulty as well.

Application:

1. This last week was hard for Jesus, but He did it because he loves us…
2. Jesus also asks us to do hard things at times
3. Let’s reflect on His story all week and ask Him what are some hard things He wants us to do for Him.

CLOSING CHALLENGE:

Will you spend this week reflecting on what Jesus did for you?

And with the same heart, will you find someone who needs to know him?

If you prayed the prayer to start fresh with God today text “startagain” (one word) to 97000 so we can connect with you and help you take the next steps in this amazing decision.
