Jesus entered the Jerusalem in triumph, part of his journey to the cross.
Palm Sunday, also known as Passion Sunday, marks the beginning of Holy Week and the suffering of Jesus. It’s the final Sunday of Lent and the Sunday before Easter.
This is the day on which Jesus entered the Jerusalem in triumph, but as a part of his journey to the cross; this is the week in which the crowd’s cries of “Hosanna!” would soon turn to “Crucify him!”
One helpful approach to Palm Sunday worship is to focus first on the procession into Jerusalem and then concentrate on the suffering and passion of Jesus.
This Sunday March 22nd is the Fifth Sunday in Lent. The Sermon topic is the redemption road – the road that leads us toward the cross, resurrection, and into the whole world.
The scripture is Ezekiel 37:1-14. In the message I plan to use other supporting verses like Psalm 130 and Romans 8:6-11.
We are approaching Holy Week and I think it’s important for us to begin to prepare our hearts for the journey ahead of us.

In the United Methodist Church (UMC), the “Third Sunday of Lent” marks the middle point of the Lenten season, often focusing on the story of Jesus encountering the Samaritan woman at the well, serving as a reminder to reflect on our own spiritual thirst and need for renewal, while also highlighting the importance of reaching out to others with God’s love; it’s often considered a time to re-evaluate one’s faith and commitment to living a Christian life.
