First Cary UMC's First Sanctuary Sermon "Palm Sunday: Turning Towards Jerusalem” – Rev. Ben Alexander – Sunday, April 13, 2025

Scripture: Luke 19:28-40

On Palm Sunday, Jesus enters Jerusalem in a humble procession, not as the conquering kind that people expected, but as the one who comes in peace. As Jesus turns towards Jerusalem, we witness Jesus’ journey to the cross begin, where he will face rejection for the sake of redemption. As we reflect on Palm Sunday, may we be reminded that Jesus’ victory comes through his willingness to embrace the wilderness of this world for the coming of God’s Kingdom.
