We’ve shouted “Hosanna,” but now we enter the “hard part” of Holy Week—the space between Palm Sunday and Easter. Pastor Travis invites us to resist the urge to skip ahead to the resurrection and instead find the courage to sit with the betrayal, the silence, and the “not-yet”. Discover how grace meets us in the middle of the waiting, proving that while the walk toward Friday is hard, it is also holy.
Palm Sunday is a day of “spiritual whiplash,” where we hold both triumph and tragedy in the same breath. As we move from shouting “Hosanna” to “Crucify him,” we are reminded that life often mixes joy and sorrow together. Discover how grace meets us in both the celebration and the silence, giving us the space to be honest about our grief even as we celebrate our joys.
Resurrection is about more than just coming back to life; it’s about being set free. Although Lazarus walked out of the tomb, he remained bound in his grave clothes until Jesus commanded the community to “unbind him.” Pastor Travis explores why we cannot always free ourselves from the shame, fear, and old patterns that cling to us—and why we need the help of others to finally let go and walk in full freedom.
