Palm Sunday

This powerful message challenges us to reconsider what true greatness looks like through the lens of humility versus pride. Drawing from Philippians 2, we encounter the revolutionary truth that Jesus, though equal with God, emptied himself and took on the form of a servant, ultimately dying on a cross for our sake. This sermon invites us to understand that humility is not weakness or self-deprecation, but rather the courageous choice to use our strengths and gifts to serve others rather than ourselves. In the Greco-Roman world where boasting and status were everything, Christ's message was radically counter-cultural. Today, we are called to the same radical lifestyle: putting others first, recognizing our need for God's help, and finding our strength not in self-sufficiency but in humble dependence on Christ. The Christian life begins and continues with the humble acknowledgment that we need a Savior, and this posture of humility becomes the foundation for how we relate to everyone around us.
