Perception vs. Reality | Matthew 21:1-11

Perception vs. Reality | Matthew 21:1-11 Ever had your perception of someone miss the reality? That’s Palm Sunday. The crowd had ideas about who Jesus was - but they were about to discover something far greater. Two thousand years later, the same is true. Plenty of opinions… but Holy Week reveals the real Jesus. Join us as we kick off the most important week of the most important person who ever lived. See you Sunday! This Week Easter Goodie Table Signups This Sunday We are taking sign-ups this Sunday for our Easter Goodie table! If you'd like to bring a baked good, please sign up in the lobby before or after service! Palm Sunday March 29th Palm Sunday marks the beginning of the most important week in history. From celebration to sacrifice to resurrection - this is the story that changes everything. Join us as we begin the journey together! Good Friday April 3rd | 6:30 PM On Good Friday we remember the greatest act of love in history. Jesus willingly went to the cross so that sinners could be forgiven and brought back to God. Join us for a service of Scripture, worship, and reflection as we consider the power of the cross and the hope it brings. Easter April 5th | 10:00 AM In a world that feels uncertain and unpredictable, where do you find something solid? Easter declares that chaos doesn’t get the final word. Death isn’t the end of the story. God has not abandoned us. Through the resurrection of Jesus, we’re given a living hope — not wishful thinking, but a steady anchor for real life. Come celebrate with inspirational worship, an encouraging message of hope, Easter fun for the kids, and a meaningful morning for the whole family. We can’t wait to see you!

New Sunday Series April 12th Everybody follows something—whether it’s a person, a philosophy, or a way of thinking. The real question isn’t if you follow, but who or what you follow—and where it’s leading you. Long before social media and influencers, Jesus of Nazareth said, “Follow me.” And for over 2,000 years, more people have followed Him than anyone else. His influence is unmatched. Why? We’d love for you to join us as we explore who Jesus is, what He taught, and why following Him still changes everything today!
