On Palm Sunday, the crowd welcomed Jesus as King with shouts of “Hosanna!”—but just days later, many of those same voices cried out “Crucify Him.” In this message, Pastor Stephen Mizell challenges us to examine the tension between our expectations of Jesus and the reality of who He truly is. Are we following Jesus… or just our expectations of Him? 🔑 Key Takeaways • Jesus came to establish a kingdom—but not the one people expected • Praise becomes fragile when it’s based on preference • The crowd wanted relief, but Jesus came to bring redemption • You can be around spiritual activity and still miss Jesus • Real faith continues to worship—even when pressure comes • Palm Sunday forces a decision: control or surrender 📖 Scripture References • Matthew 21:1–11 • Zechariah 9:9 • Luke 19:41–44 • Romans 10:9 👍 Like this video 💬 Comment what stood out to you 📲 Share it with someone who needs encouragement 🔔 Subscribe for more messages from Open Door Church Open Door Church Official Podcast http://www.visitopendoor.com <iframe title="Libsyn Player" style="border: none" src="//html5-player.libsyn.com/embed/episode/id/40669845/height/90/theme/custom/thumbnail/yes/direction/forward/render-playlist/no/custom-color/88AA3C/" height="90" width="600" scrolling="no" allowfullscreen webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen oallowfullscreen msallowfullscreen></iframe> https://assets.libsyn.com/secure/content/200269970
