What’s your triumphal entry experience?

  • Where you cry out “Hosanna, save me”, but Jesus responds differently than expected?

  • where your spiritual high doesn’t connect to who Jesus really is?

  • Where you find yourself asking, “where are you Jesus?”

Where is your devotion?

  • Crucified with Christ

    • Galatians 2:20

      • I no longer live but Christ lives in me.

Do you see Him?

  • You may not know where you’re being led, but do you know the one who leads you?

Has Jesus made a triumphal entry into your heart? Have you submitted to His reign?
