#1 - If Jesus Is King, Then What?

As we journey through Holy Week, we're invited to reflect on the profound significance of Palm Sunday and Jesus' triumphal entry into Jerusalem. This pivotal moment in Scripture reveals Jesus as a prophetic king who forges peace through sacrifice, not through military might.
