After the Celebration

2025-04-13

The crowd was electric, the entrance unforgettable. It felt like the game was already won. But now, the cheering has died down—and the real challenge begins. In Mark 11:7–33, we follow Jesus through the gates of Jerusalem and into the heart of spiritual conflict. What happens when the expectations of victory meet the grind of reality? When faith isn’t about waving palm branches, but about turning over tables and facing hard truths? This week, Pastor Tim takes us into the second half of the story...

The crowd was electric, the entrance unforgettable. It felt like the game was already won. But now, the cheering has died down—and the real challenge begins.

In Mark 11:7–33, we follow Jesus through the gates of Jerusalem and into the heart of spiritual conflict. What happens when the expectations of victory meet the grind of reality? When faith isn’t about waving palm branches, but about turning over tables and facing hard truths?

This week, Pastor Tim takes us into the second half of the story—where Jesus confronts empty religion, calls out fruitless living, and challenges the foundation of our faith. It’s a moment of reckoning, both then and now.

The celebration was only the tip-off. What comes next will determine how the game is really played.
