Palm Sunday feels like a paradox—a day of celebration laced with sorrow. Pastor Dave led us into this tension as we continued The Heart of the King series, reminding us that the cheers of "Hosanna" were real, but so was the road ahead. Today, we don't just wave palm branches; we face the question: Do we truly have a heart for the cross?

God’s heart is not drawn to pride, but to humility. In Luke 18, Jesus reminds us that it is not the proud who are justified, but the humble who cry out for mercy. This Lent, we are invited to trust less in ourselves and more in the love of our King.

This week we began our Lenten journey, exploring what it means to follow the Heart of the King in our new series through Luke’s journey to Jerusalem, and tot he empty tomb. As Jesus resolutely set out for Jerusalem, He called His followers to radical surrender—not comfort. Where is Jesus leading you this season? Let’s walk the road to the cross together.

God doesn’t wait for the lost to find their way back—He pursues them with relentless love and celebrates when they are found. This week, we explored Luke 15 and saw the joy of the King who seeks, saves, and rejoices. Will we reflect His heart for the lost around us?

Mercy isn’t just something God does—it’s who He is. This week, we reflected on the heart of the King through the parable of the Good Samaritan, learning that true mercy steps into the brokenness of others. Lent invites us to embody Christ’s love by living lives shaped by His mercy.
