Palm Sunday 2026 | Pastor Di Beals | Venture Church

Welcome to venture and good morning. My name is Die.

If I haven't met you yet, privileged to share this

morning's message with you. It's something that we tackle every

year because we really strongly feel like Palm Sunday is

an important one to understand. Palm Sunday not passover. Let's

untangle those in the moments to come. But I'm really

glad that you're here. Most of us have certain holidays

on the calendar that we're always aware of. For example,

you know when your birthday is, and it's the same

day of the year every year. Christmas really helps us

out by being the same day every year. And sometimes

holidays have the added benefit of giving us a day

off of work or a day off of school, maybe

government buildings are closed or whatever it might be. And

so we're familiar with holidays in our culture. Some of

those holidays are a little bit harder to track. Some

of those holidays are religious in nature. Some of them

are cultural, for example Administrative Professional Appreciation Day, which is

coming in April. Thank you, Audrey for being the best

assistant ever. Some of those cultural holidays, I mean, for

us in America, Independence Day is a pretty fun one

for us it's associated with fun, but also we get

a day off of work. Usually some of our holidays,

like Thanksgiving are associated with family, and so holidays move around,

you know, throughout the year, usually pretty predictably, unless they

have a religious affiliation that is based on a different

calendar than we follow. So let's talk about that for

just a second. And if you've been around at Venture,

you know we teach on Palm Sunday every year. But

if you haven't been around, this is so incredibly important

to understand the significance of Eastern So our calendar, our

Western calendar, American calendar is a solar calendar. And some

of the ways we know that is, you know, we

have the winter solstice and the summer solstice. The summer solstice,

you know, the day where if you live in Washington,

you have like the most daylight of all and it's

the best, and then the next day you're sad because

it's getting smaller every day. We also have the spring

equinox and the fall equinox, and we just had the

spring equinox. It's the first day of spring, which we're

happy about because we know we're moving towards lighter and

warmer Okay, so that's the solar calendar, but there's also

a lunar calendar. Now we're all aware that the moon

has phases, we know that, but there are some cultures

that are based on a lunar calendar. So the solar

calendar is based on the Earth's movement around the Sun,

and the lunar calendar is based on the cycles of

the moon. But it's not exactly quite that simple because

the lunar phases is actually a month in the lunar

calendar is the entire month long phase of a moon.

So that's very different than how we do our solar calendar.

So we have three hundred and sixty five days in a year,

plus Leepier every for Shaun King's birthday also known as

Leepier every four years. But a lunar calendar is based

on that full phasing of a moon from new moon

to full moon. Okay with me so far. Normally those

two things don't really affect each other except for Easter

and in Easter, choosing the day for Easter or knowing

when the date of Easter is is based on those

two calendars working together. So how do we understand that, Well,

today is Palm Sunday. Let's build a little foundation and

then let's find out why is this important to us?

And how do we know? Palm Sunday kicks off what

you've probably heard said before or you well know this,

It kicks off Holy Week. Holy Week is where we

remember the final week of Jesus's life leading up to

his crucifixion and his resurrection. Okay, so that final week

of Jesus's life is one third of the Book of

Matthew and the Book of Mark and the Book of Luke,

and that last week of Jesus's life makes up half

of the Book of John. So there's a lot of

content there. It's obviously quite important, which is why the

Bible highlights it so much. That last week of Jesus's

life kicked off with Palm Sunday, which we'll dig into

in a second, includes Jesus's conflict with religious leaders, which

actually wasn't new. He had a decent amount of conflict

with religious leaders, but it intensifies a lot. It is

time spent with his disciples sharing the Passover meal, which

we'll talk about in just a second. Trail by one

of Jesus's closest disciples, Judas. It includes being disowned by Peter,

It includes being arrested and tried illegally. It includes a conviction,

It includes a profoundly awful beating that Jesus endured, and

eventually his crucifixion on Friday, what we call Good Friday,

which was terrible. If you have not been to our

Good Friday presentation, it is Friday at seven pm. It

is immersive. It is meant for us to sit in

the pain and the extreme, the depth, the darkness, the

heaviness of the crucifixion. And then Holy Week concludes, of

course with Sunday, which is Resurrection Sunday. We call it

Easter Sunday morning. This is where Jesus is resurrected from

the dead. He did not stay dead. That is why

we worship him, because he is not dead and in

a grave. He is alive. He conquered death, hell and

the grave for us and our Christian faith is built

on the truth that Jesus died for our sin and

was resurrected victorious over sin and death. That sort of

encapsulates this whole Holy Week. Well, today we're going to

tackle the significance of Palm Sunday and why Jesus's entire

life and ministry led to death on our behalf. So

we're going to start with the date. And we've already

mentioned this. Most dates are easy to track. Why is

it that Easter moves around a lot? Well, Easter, the

people that put the date on the calendar. Remember when

you used to hang a calendar on your wall. We

the people that put that date on the calendar, aren't

just arbitrarily picking a date. In fact, did you know

next year it's going to be in March. So it

moves around quite a bit. Well, Easter is and if

you've been here, you know this. It's decided on as

the first Sunday after the first full moon after the

vernal equinox. Good job, guys. So the date of Easter

is really a combo of the solar and lunar calendars

because it's the first it follows the first full moon

after the vernal equinox, which is what that's when the

sun crosses the equator. Okay, that's when we get more

light and more warmth. So here we are today. It's

March twenty ninth. The vernal equinox was March twentieth this year,

and the first full moon will be this Wednesday, April first,

so Easter because it's the first Sunday following the first

full moon, which is Wednesday following vernal equinox, which was

March twentieth, is this coming Sunday, That Sunday, This Sunday,

March twenty eighth or ninth, is called Palm Sunday, Okay,

So we're at the bookends. So the Palm Sunday you

have that commemorating the last week of Jesus's life, and

then Easter Sunday. There's one more important date in this

last week and Holy Week, the last week of Jesus' life,

that we have to understand as well, and that's Passover.

Now Passover this year in twenty twenty six coincides with

the full moon, so it'll be this Wednesday. Some people

lean that into Thursday, but it'll be this week. Sometimes

it's a couple weeks after Easter, and that's a whole

other confusing thing that I won't drill down into. However,

the year that Jesus died, Passover was the Thursday of

that week, okay, So it's important for us to understand

what's in that final week, what are these important dates.

So Palm Sunday is important. But we truly believe adventure

our pastoral staff, we teach on this everyday. All of

our campuses teach on this every year, and it's because

we truly believe that you and I cannot understand the

significance of Easter unless we understand the significance of Palm

Sunday today. And we can't understand today Palm Sunday unless

we understand Passover. Palm Sunday is directly tied to Passover.

Passover is directly tied to Easter. So what do we

need to understand here? Well, if both Palm Sunday and

Easter have to do with Passover, then it's critical we

review what's passover. A year ago, we did a teaching

series through the Book of Genesis, and you can always

go back and listen to That set the stage for

the next book of the Bible, which is Exodus. And

at the end of Genesis God's people they will eventually

be called Israel, but they're just God's people. The Hebrew

people are in Egypt, and Egypt was at that point

at the end of Genesis, a great place for them

to be. There was a severe famine because of a drought.

And so if you know the character Joseph in the Bible,

Joseph provided for his extended family. In Egypt, the land

was fertile, the people were protected by the pharaoh at

that time of Egypt, and things were good. Well, when

we open the next chapter, which is Exodus chapter one,

we can see that things have changed. And in Exodus

chapter one, four hundred years have gone by, and now

things are not just great and fertile and we're protected

by the pharaoh. Now things have gone very wrong. In fact,

Israel has multiplied rapidly God's people and the pharaoh that

is currently in charge feels very threatened by the people,

and he has brutally oppressed them. So now God's people

are enslaved. They can't leave if they want to because

Pharaoh is oppressing the And so after four hundred years

of brutal slavery, the people of God began crying out,

God save us. I've prayed that prayer before. I don't

know if you have. God save me, God rescue me,

God intervene, God deliver us. There's a Hebrew word for

that phrase, God save us, God rescue us, and it's

a word you've heard before, and maybe you just thought

that's a Church word or a Christian word. It's the

word hosanna. Hosanna means God save us, God rescue us,

God deliver us. It's a cry for God to intervene Hosanna.

And so scripture tells us that God heard their cry.

He sent a deliverer. He raised up a man named Moses.

Moses was a Hebrew, but he grew up in Pharaoh's household,

so he is strategic placed as a prince of Egypt

but also a Hebrew. And God raised him up and

sent him to Pharaoh to say, let these people go.

Let God's people go. Pharaoh, if you know the story, refuses,

and so God then sends a series of plagues on

Egypt in order to convince Pharaoh to let his people go.

It's plagues of blood and lice and hail and the

death of livestock and I don't know flies. I mean,

there's all kinds of things boils. The ninth plague is

a plague of utter darkness, and Pharaoh is still doubling

down and saying I'm not letting these people go. Each

time that Pharaoh doubled down and said no. God sent

another plague to get his attention, to get the attention

of the Egyptian people, to show his power. But also

so Pharaoh became more cruel in his slavery. So God

is preparing to send a tenth and final plague. It's

the plague of death, specifically the death of every firstborn

son in Egypt. And Exodus twelve tells us the story.

And you can turn there if you have your Bible.

If you don't, the verses that I'm gonna read will

be on the screen. But Exodus twelve tells the story

of God's instructions for his people. God is telling Moses,

tell my people how to get ready for this final

plague that is going to lead to their freedom, their rescue,

what we call their exodus. So Exodus twelve, verse two says,

from now on, this month will be the first month

of the year for you. So God is saying what

is coming will be so significant you'll now base your

calendar around it. So now this event, this passover event,

this final plague, this act of rescue, is going to

begin your calendar year. Now we're going to track the

days that we can find listed in the next few

verses to understand how they all come together. So look

at verse three. It says, announce to the whole community

of Israel that on the tenth day, everyone say tenth.

On the tenth day of this month, each family must

choose a lamb or a young goat for a sacrifice,

one animal for each household. Go down verse five. The

animal you select must be a one year old male,

either a sheep or a goat, with no defects. Take

special care of this chosen animal until the evening of

the fourteenth day. Everyone say fourteenth, fourteenth of this month.

Then the whole assembly of the community of Israel must

slaughter their lamb or young goat at twilight. They are

to take some of the blood and smear it on

the sides and tops of the doorframes of their houses

where they eat the animal. So this is going to

be the first month of the year. Remembering this, on

the tenth day of that month, God's people are to

choose a spotless lamb without blemish. This is how it

began and how it's going to continue. They're to choose

a spotless lamb on the tent day, and on the

fourteenth day that lamb is to be slaughtered, and the

blood is to be put on the doorframes of the

homes of God's people. Verses eight through ten gives some

specific instructions for how to roast the meat. You can

read this on your own, what to prepare it with.

But there's a couple noteworthy things I want to point out,

and that is that the people were to make their

bread to go with this meal without yeast. That's a

very specific instruction, and they're not to save any leftovers

until the next morning. And then verse eleven adds, these

are your instructions for eating this meal. Be fully dressed,

wear your sandals, and carry your walking stick in your hand.

Eat the meal with urgency, for this is the Lord's passover.

Why such specific instructions about bread without yeast and not

saving leftovers, and wearing your shoes to the dinner table

and making sure you're not wearing your jammies but you

got your coat on. It's because God is about to

deliver his people, and he's saying, be ready, be ready

to go when I tell you to go. And also

you're not gonna need leftovers because you won't be here tomorrow.

I'm about to deliver you in verses twelve and thirteen.

God then explains the purpose of the blood on the

door frames, and this is important, so let's read it.

On that night, I will pass through the land, this

is God talking of Egypt, and strike down every firstborn

son and firstborn male animal in the land of Egypt.

I will execute judgment against all the gods of Egypt,

for I am the Lord. But the blood on your

doorposts will serve as a sign marking the houses where

you are staying. When I see the blood, I will

pass over you. Passover. Here's the word. This plague of

death will not touch you when I strike the land

of Egypt. This explanation is then followed by instructions to

celebrate passover every year. Every year God's people they're about

to be delivered, and every year they are to remember

God set us free. We cried out to God. We

cried out, Hoseana, God save us. God hurt us. He intervened,

He rescued us. And so to remember that they are

on the tenth day of the first month there to

select a spotless, perfect lamb, and on the fourteenth day

of that month they are to sacrifice that lamb. On

the fourteenth day Exodus twelve twenty nine and thirty tells

us what happened. It says that night, at midnight, the

Lord struck down all the firstborn sons in the land

of Egypt, from the firstborn son of Pharaoh who sat

on his throne to the firstborn son of the prisoner

in the dungeon. Pharaoh and all his officials and all

the people of Egypt woke up during the night, and

loud wailing was heard throughout the land of Egypt. There

was not a single house where someone had not died.

So Pharaoh said, go, go, I'm releasing you. And after

four hundred years in slavery, God's people left captivity in Egypt.

They left with their free and they left with instructions

from their God. Then, on the first month of every year,

on the tenth day, they were to choose a spotless, perfect,

without blemish lamb, And on the fourteenth day they were

to slaughter that lamb. And remember that God passed over

them and rescued them from slavery. Are you with me?

Tenth fourteenth? Both incredibly important. For the next fifteen hundred years,

God's people continue to cry out, Hosanna, God save us. Hosanna,

God rescue us, because throughout the course of that those

fifteen hundred years, they are routinely and regularly oppressed. They

are captive. In fact, at after fifteen hundred years, Jesus

comes on the scene and they are being oppressed by Rome.

Rome has come in and they are in charge. And

so God's people have been crying out, God, send us

a deliver, send us a rescuer once again. And they've

been crying it out for all of these years. And

now fifteen hundred years later, oppressed by Rome, crying out,

Jesus just happens to appear on the scene. And John

chapter twelve, verse twelve tells us the news that Jesus

was on the way to Jerusalem swept through the city.

A large crowd of passover visitors. Okay, God's people are

doing what he has instructed them to do. They are

gathering in order to choose a spotless lamb and sacrifice

it in memory of the Lord's passover, remembering and asking God,

would you rescue us again? So a large crowd of

passover visitors took palm branch and went down the road

to meet Jesus. Matthew adds the detail that the people

laid out their coats for the animal that Jesus is

riding on to walk across. And all the while they're shouting.

What are they shouting? Hosanna, Hosannah, God save us, God

rescue us. And then they say, Blessed is he who

comes in the name of the Lord. Blessed is the

King of Israel. For fifteen hundred years, they've been shouting Hosannah,

God save us. And this day, this particular day, the

day that the people hear that Jesus is coming, the

day that they are waving palm branches as he enters

the city. This day is the tenth day of the month.

And what do you do on the tenth day of

the month. All of Israel is choosing their spotless lamb

that is going to be slaughtered. They're remembering the fifteen

hundred years before when God rescued their ancestors and delivered them,

and they're waiting for him to rescue them again. Can

I just say the obvious, It is not a really

random coincidence that Jesus entered the city on lamb's selection day.

That's not an accident. God has strategically orchestrated this story

that leads to you and I. In just a moment.

In the Book of John, the author John, who's a

disciple of Jesus, records another John, John the Baptist, calling Jesus,

and this is important, the lamb of God who takes

away the sin of the world. So here are the

people crying out for a savior. Hosannah, God save us,

God rescue us. On the tenth day of the month,

the day that they choose a spotless, without defect perfect lamb,

and Jesus, the Lamb of God who takes away the

sin of the world, rides into the city on this

exact day. It's as if God is saying, I have

already chosen your lamb for you. What is the significance

of the palm branches is something that gets asked a lot,

and I won't park it here for long, but I

think that's another thing that becomes this, Oh, palm branches.

That's a Christian thing to do, that's like a Christian

holiday thing. But the palm branch was a symbol of

victory for people of the ancient Near East. You would

wave or lay out palm branches as a common practice

to welcome your king, especially if he's just come home

from battle. It's like the modern day equivalent of rolling

out the red carpet. But it's also embedded in biblical

history too. In Israel's history, God had instructed them to

wave palm branches as a way to rejoice before God,

commemorating that after God freed them from slavery in Egypt,

he took care of them when he led them through

the wilderness. But I want you to hear me say this,

and I don't want this to be like, oh, that's

a cool quote worthy sentence. When I wrote this, and

I've taught this before, So I wrote this a couple

of years ago. I wrote this as like my own

reminder to myself and a prayer which is even as

coatless multitudes of people. Just imagine that for a second,

this crowd of people waving palm branches, taking off their

coats and laying them before Jesus to enter into the city.

Even as all these people are waving branches and laying

down their coats and shouting for joy, they miss the

real reason Jesus came into the city. Maybe you've heard

this taught before. What they were looking for was a

deliver like we want the warrior. We want the military

might and power. We want someone to stomp down Rome

and take him out. We want someone to show up

in power. They couldn't see or understand the Lamb who

had entered the city. They couldn't understand, of course, the

cross that was just about to come. That's why Luke

tells us that as Jesus came to the city, he

began to weep because he knew they couldn't understand, and

he knew how many of them would miss the meaning

behind his coming because they welcomed him as a deliverer

to come and revolt against Rome, but they could not

welcome him as a savior who would rescue them from

their sin. So the crowds are crying out Hosanna, and

those same crowds of people crying out Hosanna, just days

later are going to cry out, crucify him. And maybe

it's easy for us to go, well, they're dumb, or

maybe it's easy for us to go. I mean, I

wouldn't have missed it. I would never do that. I

would not lay my coat down and say you're the

king and then just days later say crucify him. But

would we because I think we do. We are these

people we are guilty of saying I want you as

my savior, and tell it's inconvenient or until it is

not how I thought it was supposed to be or

what I wanted, and then I can't. I can't do

the way you want me to do it. All of

this that we have just covered is Palm Sunday. But

Palm Sunday is the entry point to Holy Week. It

is just the on ramp to Holy Week. It is

just four days later because Passover in the year that

Jesus died was four days later. It is just four

days later that Jesus will gather to celebrate the Passover

meal with his disciples as he should, as God had instructed,

and as people have obediently done for these fifteen hundred years,

and as Jesus or as Jesus gathers with his disciples

to share the Passover meal. We have come to call

the practice where we remember that communion. So if you've

always wondered where does communion come from, this is now

our opportunity connunity to remember Jesus's final Passover meal. Jesus

knowing the sacrifice he was about to make. So when

you came in, you should have been handed a little

cup with juice and a wafer on the top. If

you didn't get one of these, you just put your

hand up in an usher will run one over to you.

I'm gonna invite you to open just the wafer, the

little top section, and just hold that for a minute.

And maybe this is a good opportunity for you to

just look at it and say, Lord, what does this

really symbolize. Jesus on that passovernight with his disciples, took

a piece of bread, and this little wafer is it's

just a representation of that. It's not as good as bread.

And he said, as he broke it to share it

with him, this is my body that is broken for you.

This is my body. What do you think They thought?

Your body's not broken? You look just fine. They couldn't,

of course, understand. He would go on. Jesus would to

then pass around a cup of wine, and you would say,

and this is my blood that is spilled for you.

I think we can all appreciate that the disciples gathered

there could not understand the cross that was coming. But

you know what they did understand. They did understand blood,

because this entire remembrance is about blood. It's about the

blood of a spotless, innocent lamb that was painted fifteen

hundred years before over the doorframe of a home so

that those people would be spared from God's judgment and

rescued so that God would pass over them. This is

the entire point of the Passover meal, is to remember

the blood that was spilled. They understood that what they

couldn't understand is that Jesus's blood would then be spilled,

that he would in just a few hours be tortured,

brutally beaten, brutally, totally illegally. There wasn't even a legal

trial by which to decide to crucify him and then

to be hung on a cross as one of the

most brutal ways someone could die the death of a criminal.

They couldn't understand that Jesus would spill his own blood

willingly for them, But Jesus knew what was in front

of him. Tewond Corinthians five twenty one helps us understand

why Jesus, the perfect, spotless Lamb, came and entered the

on Lamb's selection day and willingly died for us. That

Passover meal by the way, was on the fourteenth day

of the month, the day the lamb is sacrificed two

Corinthians five twenty one. God made him who had no sin,

to be sin for us, so that in him we

might become the righteousness of God. We're not righteous, none

of us in this room we're watching online. We're not righteous.

None of us are. But what this means is God

made him, Jesus, to be the sin for us. He

took our sin to the cross and gave us his

righteousness in exchange. Martin Luther calls that the great exchange.

We give all we have to give, which is our

sin and our guilt, and our shame and our brokenness,

and Jesus take He took it to the cross, he

died for it, and he gives us in exchange his rightness,

righteousness before God. Roman six twenty three tells us that

the price for our sin is death. But we do

not have to pay that, because Jesus paid it for

us if we received the gift that He has given us.

But we can just be just like that crowd, throwing

off their coat on the ground, waving the palm branches

and saying Hosanna God. You heard us, You sent us

a deliver He's gonna go conquer everybody. And totally missed

the entire point, which is we have to lay down

our life for him. We have to let his sacrifice

pay the price on our behalf. I want you to

hear me say, Jesus was not God's plan. Be God

didn't create the world and humans, and then when humans

made mistakes, God didn't say, man, I didn't see that coming.

One of my favorite verses is in First Peter chapter one,

and I don't have a slide for it, but First

Peter chapter one, verse eighteen says that God paid the

ransom to save you from your empty life. He paid

it with the precious blood of Jesus, the sinless, spotless lamb.

God chose him before the world began. He was always

the plan. His death, his blood was always the way

for us to be right with God. So I want

you to take that cracker. First John one nine says,

if we confess our sin, he is faithful and just

to forgive us and to cleanse us from all our sin.

And so that's what we have the opportunity to do.

Right now. I'm going to invite you to close your eyes,

because before we take this, we're going to pray. And

maybe you're in this room and you have never received

the forgiveness that Jesus has offered you through the purchase

of your life with his blood. Now is your chance,

Or maybe you needed to be reminded because you've walked

away and you sit here in your unrighteousness saying Jesus,

make me right. So if that's you, and you would

say I need to receive Jesus's forgiveness, would just raise

your hand all around this room up and then down.

Thank you, Thank you, thank you. Would you agree with me, Jesus,

Thank you for your sacrifice forgive us. Thank you that

your sacrifice is the way for us to be right

with the Father. So we receive your forgiveness. We receive

that payment for sin that came at the most precious price.

So as we take this little wafer, we remember your

great love for us, that it was your joy to

lay down your life. Thank you, Jesus, and amen, go

ahead and take that cracker. Now you can go ahead

and open up the juice. It's just juice. It represents

though the blood of Jesus, the blood of the sinless,

spotless lamb that allows for us to be in right

relationship with God. We've already prayed, so if you just

prayed that prayer, you're in a right relationship with God.

Now we just get to say thank you. So would

you stand your feet with me? Before we take this,

I'm just going to pray a prayer of thankfulness for

Jesus's grace. This represents his grace for you. His work

on the cross was enough. It was enough. Whenever it

is it pops into your head and you think, but

he could certainly never forgive this. His blood is enough.

So in just a moment, I'm gonna pray, and then

we're gonna actually sing. So we'll pray. You can drink

that juice, and then we're gonna sing just a song

of gratitude to Jesus. So, Jesus, thank you for your blood.

Thank you that your sacrifice is enough for me, for

everyone in this room, for those watching online, and for

all of humanity. Your sacrifice was enough. We receive it.

We say thank you, We worship you. Jesus. You are

the sinless, spotless lamb. You willingly laid down our life,

and we receive that. Thank you, Jesus. Amen. Go ahead,

go ahead and take that.

Never you.

Always on time, geeesus. When I went through the fog.

You know.

A lot can happen in a week. What a busy

week starts with passover continues on through the week. Good

Friday is coming, my friends, There's victory, there's victory. This

is our week to remember that sacrifice but also that victory.

And this week, the team has done an incredible job

just making a ton of resources available for you. And

I want to encourage you to go to our next

Steps page on the app because there's just so many

opportunities to learn and grow and remember and dig into

everything that happened through this week. And so as we

prepare our hearts for Easter, I want to just send

you with a blessing. May God be with you, maybe

he before you, And as you invite your friends to church,

we are so excited to gather together and remember the

Savior Jesus name.

Amen.

Love you guys, have a great week. We will see

you next time.
