Mark 11:1-11 Sermon

What does it mean that Jesus entered Jerusalem on a donkey? Why palm branches, cloaks, and shouts of “Hosanna”? Every detail in Mark 11 is intentional—and it all points to the true identity of Jesus as King.

In this message, Pastor Jon unpacks the Triumphal Entry, showing us:

The King’s Intentional Preparations – Jesus orchestrates every detail to fulfill God’s promises.

The King’s Humble Entrance – He comes not with worldly power, but in humility, to bring peace.

The King’s Sobering Appraisal – He enters the temple to inspect the worship of His people.

The crowds expected a conqueror to overthrow Rome. But Jesus came to fulfill God’s plan, not our demands. He is the humble King who rules in sovereignty and peace, inviting us to trust Him fully.

Questions to Consider:

Where am I struggling to trust that Jesus is in control of the details?

If Jesus inspected my worship today, what would He find?

Am I following Jesus as King, or am I disappointed when He doesn’t meet my expectations?
