In a moment that changed everything, the crowd shouted “Hosanna!”—but were their hearts aligned with their words? This Palm Sunday, we reflect on the triumphal entry of Jesus into Jerusalem and wrestle with a timeless tension: Are we truly welcoming the King of Kings—or merely going through the motions?
Pastor Adam leads us through John 12:12–19, unpacking what genuine praise looks like, how hypocrisy can take root even in worship, and what Jesus’ journey into Jerusalem reveals about His unwavering love for sinners. As we enter Holy Week, this message invites us to lay down our masks, lift up our voices, and follow our Savior in truth.
🎯 Key Takeaways
Why the crowd’s “Hosanna” may not have meant what it seemed.
The difference between emotional excitement and spiritual conviction.
Jesus enters the city not for applause—but for the cross.
How we can respond with authentic faith in a world full of facades.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
