"Hosanna" to "Crucify": Palm Sunday 2026 (Matthew 21:1-11)
Palm Sunday: “Hosanna” turns to “Crucify”. Our hearts mirror the crowd's fickleness. Yet the humble King rides to die for us anyway. Follow Him through Holy Week.

At the Annunciation, God acts first: he sends, speaks, promises, and gives. Mary receives his Word in faith, and the eternal Son takes our human nature for the saving work that will lead through the Cross to the glory of the Resurrection.
Fifth Sunday in Lent (Passion Sunday): A sealed tomb, dry bones, and the long ache of unanswered prayer. But the God who delayed for Lazarus, who spoke life into a graveyard, is still here. He weeps at the grave. He still acts. And the stone will not stay in place.
Joseph never speaks in the Gospel record, yet his faith becomes visible through obedience. He receives what God entrusts, protects what God places in his care, and remains faithful even when he cannot see the whole plan.
Fourth Sunday in Lent: A man born blind. A shepherd boy nobody sent for. Both overlooked. Both found. Jesus still walks into the places where the cast-out sit and asks the only question that matters: "Do you believe in the Son of Man?”
Third Sunday in Lent: At Jacob's well, Jesus crosses every boundary to sit with a woman the world had passed by and offers living water that never runs dry. He sees the full ledger of her life and still he offers. Not for those who have cleaned themselves up. For anyone still thirsty, still hoping.
