ANOTHER SUNDAY🔸ANOTHER SERMON Palm Sunday-The Praise That Receives Can you hear the sounds of celebration? Jesus is making His way into Jerusalem. He’s not sneaking in. He’s not avoiding attention. He’s riding in with bold intention—on a donkey, fulfilling prophecy from Zechariah 9:9. The crowd gathers. They begin to shout, “Hosanna! Blessed is the King who comes in the name of the Lord!” It’s praise—not quiet, hushed or reserved appreciation. It’s loud, public, and joyful. And in that praise…they’re receiving. In this very moment, they are unknowingly receiving their savior, their redeemer, their messiah. Tapestry after tapestry tossed to the ground to pave the way of our savior, Jesus. Proclamations resounding the honor and praise He so deserved. Praise Is the Language of Faith Praise is what faith sounds like when it finds its voice. When you pray, you come with a request. But when you praise, you come with confidence that it’s already being answered. Praise positions you to Receive. Your praise might be the very thing that pulls the promise from heaven to earth. The people praised, and prophecy came to pass. This echoes Habakkuk 2:11, where the prophet says: “The stones of the wall will cry out, and the beams of the woodwork will echo it.” “When Jesus said, ‘The stones will cry out,’ He wasn’t being poetic—He was being prophetic. He was declaring that even creation cannot be quiet when the Creator is present. ✨Jesus, the Cornerstone, is entering the city. ✨The religious leaders are rejecting Him. ✨But the very stones of the city are ready to testify if no one else will. In this moment, the disciples were receiving the miracle of Jesus with their praise. Move from asking…to receiving. From worry…to worship. From pleading…to praising. You don’t have to wait for everything to be perfect to praise. Praise before the answer. Praise before the shift. Praise as if it’s already done. Expecting produces praise and praise positions you to receive. Praise invites the miracle. 🕊️
