In this sermon, we dive into the intricate details of the Palm Sunday story from the book of Matthew. Jesus enters Jerusalem riding on a donkey, fulfilling a prophecy, and is welcomed with palms and shouts of "Hosanna." However, the narrative takes a surprising turn as Jesus disrupts the temple, driving out money changers and merchants, highlighting the importance of the temple as a house of prayer. This action provokes the chief priests and teachers of the law, who challenge Jesus.

The speaker reflects on how Jesus' actions challenge expectations and asks listeners to consider their own expectations and desires. They encourage reflecting on what God wants to do within individuals, what actions they should take or avoid, and how these actions can bring glory to God. The speaker shares a personal story of disappointment and surrender, emphasizing the importance of aligning personal desires with God's plan.

Throughout the episode, the speaker guides listeners through a series of questions and reflections to help them navigate disappointment, surrender, and aligning personal desires with God's intentions. By sharing personal experiences and lessons from the Palm Sunday story, the speaker provides a thought-provoking and introspective exploration of faith and surrendering to God's will.
