Palm Sunday (Matthew 21:10) — Listen | Download MP3
Some people celebrate Palm Sunday out of a sense of obligation or nostalgia, while others view the occasion with skepticism.

When Jesus entered Jerusalem on Palm Sunday, the people praised Him, but did they know who He really was? Sadly, the same crowd that gave Jesus praise upon His entry later called for His crucifixion.

Alistair Begg observes that the Lord Jesus is a different kind of King ruling over a different kind of kingdom, a kingdom that exists in our hearts. Discover how to become a citizen of this kingdom.
