Palm Sunday at Eastbrook Church 2022, the conclusion of our "Scandalous Jesus" Lenten Sermon Series.

We explore the seven woes that Jesus speaks against the religious establishment and Jerusalem itself. Matthew 23:1-38

The religious leaders ask Jesus three forceful questions, based on their own religious perspective. Jesus answers their questions and responds with another question. Matthew 22:15-46

Jesus tells three parables that explain who He is and what He has come to do. In response, the religious leaders begin their focused effort to arrest and eliminate Jesus. Matthew 21:28-22:14

Jesus cleanses the temple and causes a fig tree to wither. Jesus’ authority is questioned by the religious leaders and he responds by stonewalling them. What does it mean that Jesus has come with authority? Matthew 21:12-27

Jesus predicts his death and then enters into Jerusalem with great acclamation.

Jesus talks a lot about money. In two different episodes, He addresses the paying of the temple tax and the payment of taxes to Caesar. He uses both discussions as opportunities to talk about greater matters. Then He encounters a wealthy young man who wants to walk with God but his heart is ensnared by riches. Following it with the parable of the workers, Jesus speaks to the generosity of the king...

What is greatness really all about? Jesus flips it upside-down with three separate teachings about personal greatness, welcome of the least of these, and His pathway to greatness.

Jesus speaks to the reality and pain of divorce and also the nature of marriage in the eternal kingdom.

Jesus addresses how we deal with sin and conflict in the church, pairing it with a parable on forgiveness and showing mercy to others.

The church is called to live as one for the sake of the world. As Archbishop William Temple once said, “The church is the only organization that exists for the benefit of its non-members.”

The church is called to live as a family. We are not merely an organization but brothers and sisters called to live together under the fatherhood of God.

The church is essentially a people who are called by God. We are called out of darkness and into His marvelous light. We are called from death into life. We are called by God, given a new identity in Christ, and filled with the Holy Spirit.

Disciples of Jesus are exhorted, even commanded, in Scripture to be joyful. Why is that important? How do we do that?

Jesus brings joy and there is great joy in His birth and ministry. What is joy? How does Jesus really bring joy? How is this different from manufactured joy? How can we experience joy in Jesus?

Jesus’ second and third predictions of His death also point toward the resurrection that will come through the Messiah. This brings into focus the life that comes through Jesus to a world overcome with death.

Jesus’ turn toward Jerusalem is framed by two stories of healing. This brings into focus the healing that comes through Jesus to a world turned upside-down with pain.

Jesus’ predicts His death the first time in an unsettling passage that makes clear redemption will come at a cost. The redemptive suffering of Jesus brings into focus how much a world needs meaning in what can often seem like meaningless suffering.

Jesus is confronted by religious leaders, who again ask for a sign. He challenges their mixed-up priorities about God and life.

Jesus feeds a crowd of over 4,000 people with near to nothing. What does that tell us about Jesus?
