The transcript was pasted directly into the chat, so I’ll work from what’s in the conversation. Here it is with all timestamps stripped:

Humble King, you chose the road that led to suffering and nothing was spared to prove your love for me. All the mystery with your final breath became eternity and what we had lost forever you redeemed. Thank you Jesus. Hosana. Hosana in the highest forever. Hosana. Hosana. Hallelujah. Forever. Come on. The words are simple. Can we sing to King Jesus today? We sing in the highest. and hosana in the highest. Thank you, Jesus. Oh, blessed is he. Blessed is he oh who comes in the name of the Lord and join now and sing. Oh Jesus is king. We raise and forever come we bless this day. Heat. Heat. Heat. Heat. Yeah. Heat. Heat. Heat. Heat. Hey, heat. We welcome you Jesus in the highest forever and hosana. Hallelujah. Forever and Palm Sunday. This is a significant day in our faith. All four gospels record this day. You see it in Matthew 21, Mark 11, Luke 19, and in John 12. And that alone tells us that this moment matters. This is when King Jesus enters Jerusalem and people from all over the city and surrounding areas, they fill the streets. All throughout the Bible, we see that scripture is pointing to this moment in time. But I love our king. He did not come as the people expected. He didn’t come on a waror. He didn’t come with an army, not marked with gold, chariots, or entourage. He came humbly as a king riding in on a donkey. This is what they were expecting, though. They were expecting a king that would come in power, someone that was going to overthrow Rome so they could be free from the oppression that they were under. But Je Jesus was doing so much more than just that. He came to establish a kingdom that would be above all other kingdom. He came to be a king that would be above all other kings. So we read in scripture, people line the streets. They laid down their palms. They laid down their cloaks. They shouted and they praised him. Church, this was the first New Testament praise and worship service to Jesus. And this is a picture of what it looks like when we the church gather together. People from all over, different backgrounds, different ethnicities, all walks of life coming together under the banner of one name to honor and to lift and to worship Jesus as the king he is. But the story of Palm Sunday asks us an important question. Will we worship Jesus for the king he is or for the king we want him to be? And how we answer that question matters. Awtoer said, “What you believe about God is the most important thing about you.” For the rest of our time today, we want to we want to show you how Palm Sunday reveals to us as believers the heart of worship. Can we pray together? Father, thank you, God, for your word. God, we thank you that you came, Lord. We thank you that our sins are forgiven. We thank you that you are our savior. And today, we look to you as king. And as we open up your word today, Lord, God, I ask that you would speak to every single one of us, Holy Spirit, that we would be reminded what a heart of worship looks like in this Easter season. Father, that would be the posture of our church. God, we honor you and we commit the rest of this time to you in Jesus mighty name. Everyone said a great big amen. Amen. Amen. Hey, on Palm Sunday, why don’t you turn to someone and give them a a high palm, okay? And then go ahead and grab your seats. Go ahead and grab your seats. Just coming in with the dad jokes right at the top. Hi, Palm. I love it. Hey, happy Palm Sunday, everyone. We’re so excited to be sharing with you today on the heart of worship. And you know, Jonathan and I, we’re in a fun season right now. We have three boys, ages six, three, and almost two, right? Pray for us. The three-year-old is a little spicy. It’s a prayer. And our oldest two, they’re constantly asking the big threeletter word. Any parents probably can relate. Why? like mom and dad why everything why and you know just yesterday morning um our oldest asked hey mom like why do we have middle names big question and if I’m honest I didn’t have an answer for him like that’s a great question you know why is a good question and as we get older the why questions become a little more serious right and there comes a time in life when we find ourselves asking questions like why am I here and why do I exist? And today we want to start by answering that question with this foundational truth that you and me that we are created to worship. That is God’s design for our life. And what what is worship? Well, the biblical definition of worship goes far beyond just singing or attending a Sunday service like we are in today. Worship is the posture of our heart and the way that we live in response to God. It’s not just receiving something from God, but responding and giving something back to him. Romans 12 paints such a beautiful picture for us. One translation says this. So, here’s what I want you to do. God helping you. Praise the Lord. God helping you. Take your everyday ordinary life. You’re sleeping. You’re eating. You’re going to work and walking around life and place it before God as an offering. Embracing what God does for you is the best that you can do for him. I love that another translation says it this way that when we give God our best in the way that we live that this is our true and proper worship. And and here’s the deal. We’re all going to worship something. What we prioritize, what we give our attention to, our time to, you know, people easily worship money. So, not just having it, but trusting in it rather than God. It’s out of order. People worship success and achievement, finding our value in what we have and what we accomplish. And culture, my goodness, culture tells us to worship self, your truth, and your feelings. Culture tells us that what we feel is true and right. And if you feel it, then you got to say it. If you want it, then you got to buy it. If it feels good, then do it. Right? But following Jesus is about dying to self and giving our lives to him and not our feelings. Amen. And you know sometimes we elevate these things even in our subconscious. And here’s here’s the thing that if we do not command our soul to worship Jesus, we will worship anything that makes us feel good and shows us value. We will find ourselves compromising with the things of this world and left feeling empty every time. So church, what are we created to do? Worship. And worship Jesus alone. Amen. Throughout scripture, man, we see different expressions of worship. It’s more than just a song that we sing on Sunday. And you’re going to see a graphic up on the screen. And these are some Hebrew words. These are some original translation to some words that paint a picture for us on what holistic worship looks like. And we’re in no way Hebrew scholars or anything. So, we’re not going to try to pronounce these correctly. But we see that first one. We’re going to give our best shot. We’re going to give it a shot. Shaka. Everyone say shaka. Shaka. Okay. This means to bow. Got to get that low in humility before God. This is about a heart of surrender and reverence toward God. This is a posture of living life saying like God you are God and I am not. Your will be done not mine. It’s about surrender. It’s about submission. The second one we see on there is abad. Everyone say abad. This is all about serving God with your life. This worship is through obedience. This worship is through how we live our daily life. Like we just read in Romans 12, like worship is true when the songs that we sing on Sunday and the scriptures that we read during the week, they echo the lifestyle that we live. How we live matters to God. It’s worship to say yes to the right things. Great. It’s worship to say no to things in life. It’s worship to walk away from certain situations. How we talk, the decisions that we make are different ways that we show worship to our God. The next one is Barack. Everyone say Barack. Barack. This is to kneel in adoration and have gratitude for our God. I think of I think of the the psalmist. I think when David says in one Psalm 103 verse1, “Bless the Lord, oh my soul, and all that is within me. Bless his holy name. Bless the Lord, oh my soul.” And then you kind of see the gratitude start to grow in his heart. And he lists all these things. And forget not all his benefits. He forgives my iniquity. He heals my diseases. He redeems my life from the pit. He crowns me with steadfast love and mercy. He satisfies me with good so that my youth is renewed like the eagles. It’s an expressive worship. It’s not just in our hearts, but it comes out of our life and expresses itself through our worship. That’s it. Another word we see in the Bible is yada. Everyone say yada. Yada. And that is to lift hands and to give thanks. This is the outward expression of worship and the physical lifting of our hands and declaring praise. This is a heart posture of surrender. Like when we raise our hands saying, “Lord, not my will but yours. I surrender to you.” It’s a heart posture of thanksgiving. And you know, you don’t have to be at Champion Center for too long to hear someone say, whether it’s a location pastor or pastor Kevin or even the worship leader say, “Hey church, let’s lift our hands to God.” And why do we say this? This isn’t just a champion center idea. This is a God idea. It says in scripture, he teaches us. And here’s what’s cool is when we do things the way that God likes, guess what? He shows up. His presence shows up in this place. That he inhabits the praises of his people. When our praises go up, God’s presence comes down. And when we honor God how he wants to be honored, he responds in divine ways. You know, it’s a a lot like our relationships in our lives. You know, like I need to show Jonathan the way that he wants to be loved. Not the way that I want to be loved. So, I don’t know about you, but I’m a words of affirmation girl. Any words of affirmation people out there? Yes. You love the words. And so, I want to sit next to him and just But he’s quality time. Quality time. Just come and sit by me. Let’s just exist together. Let’s not worry about the house. Let’s not worry about the kids for 10 minutes. Don’t worry about the kids. Just be climbing at the top of the pantry, getting into everything. Just sit. Just be still. It’s fine. Just be still and know that I am your husband. Okay, that’s all I I’m here like trying to shower him with praise. Like, I love you. You’re so amazing. And he’s like, “Girl, just sit next to me for like 10 minutes.” And so, if I can have the self-discipline just to love my husband the way that he wants to be loved, can I tell you that I get a different response out of him? like 15 minutes of uninterrupted just being just existing. Oh, can I tell you? He’s mowing the lawn. He’s doing the dishes. He’s cleaning the dirty diaper. Because when we show up the way that someone wants to be loved, there is a different response. And you guys, it’s the same with God. He has a way that he likes to be worshiped. We see this in the Bible in 1 Timothy 2:8. It says, “Therefore, I want the men everywhere, everywhere to pray, lifting up holy hands.” Yeah, men, this is a call for us as the men of the house, men of Champion Center, all locations. Let us be a group of men that walks into the house of God ready to worship God, ready to be without inhibition, ready to just lift our hands unto the Lord. Like we drop our pride at the doors and we come into the house of God. How he instructs us to come in. And when we do and we lead the way, there is a ripple effect in our worship. I love that it said it calls out the men. That’s right. And then in Psalm 134:2, it says this, “Lift up your hands in the sanctuary and praise the Lord.” We see it again in Psalm 63:4. I will praise you as long as I live and in your name I will what? Lift up my hands. God loves it when we raise our hands in worship to him. And church, we have an opportunity every time we gather to give God the praise that he deserves. And scripture tells us that he wants, right? God wants the lifting of our hands as a sacrifice of praise. And you know, this Friday is our Good Friday night of worship. And can I tell you, this is one of our favorite services all year long. It’s special. We’re coming. It’s Holy Week. Like, as Christ followers, this is a really important week in our faith. And can I just encourage you to make Jesus the priority and show up this Friday to our night of worship and let’s come and worship God with everything we have because he deserves that. It’s the only proper response to what he has done for us. So we’ll see you this Friday at all locations. Shameless plug, no apology. The next word that we see in Hebrew is to means praise even before the breakthrough comes. There is power in this kind of praise and you’re clapping because you know you know this is faithfilled gratitude. This is a faith praise. And this sounds like, God, I know your character. I know that you know what’s best for me. And I trust that even though I can’t quite see it right now, God, I know the breaks through. The breakthrough is coming. So, I will come into your presence boldly and with confidence, praising even before the breakthrough comes. There’s power in our praise church. Lastly, we see the word halal. And this is a fun one. This is to boast and to celebrate and to rave. And the heart is just of joy and excitement in God. You know, this is actually where we get the word hallelujah from. And it’s loud. It’s joyful and maybe even a little undignified like you need a little more space because you know when you go to church and that person needs a little space here in worship like this is where we get this from. But it’s it’s just a response to what God’s done in your life. When we see it in Psalm 47:1, it says, “Oh, clap your hands. All ye people, shout.” Everyone say, “Shout. Shout. Shout unto God with a voice of triumph.” You know, I love our church because we are not uptight, y’all. Okay? We’re not standing at attention. We’re not spectating during worship. No, we’re lifegiving. We are joyfilled. like we can’t help but break out in praise because of everything that God has done and is going to do in our life. And you know, joy has a response, right? And what’s so cool is that this kind of worship not only honors God, but there’s a freedom that’s found in it. When we break out of our uptight, rigidness, man, there’s joy that we experience. And why? It’s because we were created to worship Jesus. That’s right. The Bible tells us even how we’re supposed to approach the house of God. It says in uh Psalm 104 100 vers4 it says, “Enter his gates with thanksgiving.” Everyone say thanksgiving. Thanksgiving and his courts with praise. This is a this is many time this is like uh an offering of praise. This is a faith offering unto God. We might not even feel it in the moment like God I’m facing some things today. I’m facing some things in my life, but I’m going to show up with a heart of gratitude because you have a word for me today in the house of God. You have something for me today in the house of God. You have some wisdom for me today in the house of God. And we show up, how we show up to the house of God matters. And what’s cool is we see these postures that we just walked through together. We see these postures of worship in the story of Palm Sunday. People are worshiping. Some of them are kneeling. Some of them are shouting. Some of them are lifting their hands and waving palm branches. They have gratitude in their hearts for a king has come. And we find ourselves in Matthew 21:6 and 8. And it says, “And the people are in the streets giving honor to King Jesus. And the disciples went and did just as Jesus had instructed them. And he brought the donkey and the colts. And he laid their cloaks.” Everyone say cloaks. Laid their cloaks on them. And he sat on the cloaks. And most of the crowd spread cloaks on the road. A lot of cloaks going on here at this part of scripture. But cloaks represented something. Yeah, it was intentional. A cloak represented honor and submission to a king. In the ancient world, spreading your cloak before someone was like saying, “I place my life and I place my everything within me under your authority.” It was a way of saying you can walk over what I own. It was acknowledging royalty. It was acknowledging kingship. A cloak represented personal sacrifice. Everyone say sacrifice. It wasn’t just any jacket. This wasn’t in the goodwill pile at their house. Like this was one of the most valuable personal possessions that somebody owned. You were known by the cloak that you wore. It provided warmth, shelter, and even identity in your life. and laying it down was saying, “I am going to give you not just anything but something that matters to me because there’s personal sacrifice.” Students, this is like me saying like, “Right now, bring your phones forward and lay them at the altar right now and we’re going to leave them here.” And you guys are like, “Whoa!” All the parents said, “Amen.” And parents are pumped. But this is a picture of it. You don’t go anywhere without that phone. They didn’t go anywhere without their cloak. It was personal to them. They didn’t throw someone else’s cloak. They laid down their own. And this shows us that we don’t follow Jesus on borrowed faith. This relationship with God means something to us as individuals. We got to have some skin in the game. Like I thank God for Pastor Kevin’s faith. I thank God for other people’s faith in my life. But it got to be personal to me. There’s sacrifice involved because a heart of worship recognizes that worship costs something. That’s right. And true worship is laying our life down. It’s it’s personal sacrifice. It’s laying down our comfort, our control, and trusting God. Laying down our pride, and at times possessions, our feelings so I can show honor to God and show him that I trust him, and my life ultimately is all about him. Laying down their cloaks also meant public declaration. It’s clear this wasn’t private worship. It was loud. It was visible. And in that time it was risky under Roman rule like saying these things declaring Jesus is king. You could go to prison for that. You could be persecuted for that. You could be killed for that. Outcasted. But they were boldly declaring in the middle of the streets, hosana, blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord. saying that this is our king and I don’t bow to any other name than the name of Jesus. They were bold in their faith that day. And that shows us this that a heart of worship, it’s both private and public. They weren’t quiet about it. The Bible said they shouted. They had a loud voice. And I pray that the worship of this house is loud and only continues to get louder. that our faith gets louder and it follows us beyond the four walls of our buildings on a Sunday and follows us into our homes into our workplaces and singing to him regardless of the season that we find ourselves in cuz feelings, you know, they can’t be in the driver’s seat in our worship. Lord knows sometimes we come in here, we’ve got a 2-year-old. I’m here first thing in the morning and he’s just being a 2-year-old. But I choose to worship every Sunday morning and giving God my best. It’s I’m choosing to worship like come on my soul. Everything within me, he deserves our best because of who he is. And that it wouldn’t stop on Sunday because public faith still matters. Faith is not faith until it is lived out. We see this in James 2:14. Faith without action is dead. Right? Laying down your cloak was like saying, “Jesus, you can walk over what I used to hold on to. My thoughts, my ways. Lord, I submit to you, my plans, my ways, my family, my life, because you are king over it all.” And a question we can ask ourselves today is what is God asking you to lay down? Bible continues to talk about how others brought palm branches and they spread them on the road and they waved them in the air. Everyone just go like this. Okay, we don’t got palm branches but we got palms and we can lift these. Yes, beautiful palm branches. They also had meaning. It represented victory. Everyone say victory. Victory and triumph. This was a symbol of celebration. They would line the streets when a king would come home for a war because the king has won the war. And they were shouting and they were saying the war has been won and the king has come home. Represented victory. Why do we lift our hands in worship? Because we have victory. Because Jesus came and conquered sin. And now you and I have access to the presence of God in our life. That’s why it’s not just surrender. We have victory. We’re not worshiping for victory. We are worshiping from a place of victory. And when they’re shouting hosana, many equate this word to like a hallelujah, like a very high praise. But that word hosana literally meant save us now. Save us. It was a desperation in their heart. It was the cry of their heart. Please deliver us. Save us, we pray. And there are times in our life when our worship is desperate like this. If you ever been there before, like, God, I need you now. I need you to step in. I’ve done everything that I can. I need your wisdom. I need your guidance. I need your favor. Like, God, I need a breakthrough. And we still desire victories in our life. And there’s nothing wrong with that. We’re going to continue to be a church that believes and prays for and knows that we serve a God who wants us to experience breakthrough in our life. He wants us to experience provision and healing in our life. But here’s a question. What happens when he doesn’t meet our expectations the way we thought? Will we still worship him? Because remember the people, they had expectations of a powerful king that would come and overthrow the Roman government so that they could be free from oppression, bondage that they were facing in that day. But Jesus came and did so much more than that. He wasn’t showing up based on how they expected it. He was doing something more. He was showing us that he wasn’t coming for one group of people, but he came for all people. Not one moment of time, but for all time. And they might not have known it until this point, but you and I know the end of the story. We have victory in Christ because he came as a humble king that would give his life to overthrow sin and death in our life so we could have the power to overcome. That’s it. heart of what we learn here is that a heart of worship lets Jesus define the win, not me. And his win is always better. That’s it. Come on. Even if he never even if it never happens how I wanted it to, I’m going to choose to worship because I know my God, he is good and his plan is always better. Because sometimes in life, it can feel like a loss in your life. And you can try to be fighting your own way, trying to figure things out. And sometimes what feels like a loss is actually Jesus securing a deeper victory in our life. Like when you don’t get the job, but you kept your faith. When the relationship doesn’t last, but God was protecting you from something that would pull you away from your purpose. Like when you feel like you need it, you need it right now. And you can put it in any part. Like you can fill in the blank there. and you need it now. But God says to wait. But then what does God do in the waiting? He produces character. He produces perseverance. He produces endurance. You get to see the heart of the father in a different way. We call it a win when life works out. But Jesus calls it a win when we are transformed. God is more concerned with who we are becoming than us just getting everything that we want in life. Where do you need to trust God with an outcome? Where are you trying to say, God, show up like this, but God is saying, “I’m trying to do something in here. I’m trying to do something in your heart.” That’s it. Because worship is not about outcome. Ultimately, worship is the only proper response to who Jesus is. And here’s the tension of Palm Sunday. We see it in Luke’s gospel. Luke 19:41-42 it says this. As he approached Jerusalem and saw the city, he wept over it and said, “If you, even you, had only known on this day what would bring you peace, but now it is hidden from your eyes.” It says he wept over it. And you’ve got this powerful contrast. The crowd is rejoicing. What does Jesus do? He’s He’s weeping. Why did Jesus weep? It’s cuz they missed who he really was. They knew teacher. They knew he did miracles, but yet they hadn’t seen him yet as savior. And here’s oh church just a sobering reality for all of us is you can be close to Jesus in proximity. You can still miss him. The crowd was in the moment. He was singing the right things. They were around him. But proximity does not mean surrender. And so for you and I, we can come and go every Sunday and go through the motions. I checked church off my list this week. I did the Christian thing. But if our hearts aren’t surrendered to Jesus as savior and lord, we will miss it and find ourselves just going through the motions and not allowing his presence to transform our lives. They hadn’t recognized him as savior yet. You see, in verse 44, it says, “You did not recognize the time of God’s coming to you.” That’s heavy. God shows up and they didn’t see him as who he was. I don’t know about you, but I don’t want that to be said in my life. I pray that we would be a church that it would be said that we recognize the time of God’s coming to us. Because every Sunday we gather, every time we open up the word of God, every time you seek God, it’s his heart that he would reveal more of himself to you. Because they had information about Jesus, but they had not yet had a personal revelation of who he was as savior. Revelation can feel like this big word. Just break it down. Think of the word reveal. You didn’t see something. You didn’t know something, but now you saw it and now you know it. Revelation is given to us by the Holy Spirit. You know those moments when you’re reading your your Bible and it just feels like the the words on the page leap into your heart and they leap into your mind and it just starts to shift in your life. It’s when the word of God becomes alive in you. It’s when you see Jesus for who he is. God is he’s revealing things to you. And when he does that, what happens in our life is it leads to a greater understanding of his character, of his plan, of who he is, of why he’s doing what he’s doing. And then ultimately, what happens in our life is it leads to transformation. And it changes us from the inside out. Because a heart of worship begins. This is where it starts. It begins with a revelation of who Jesus is as savior. He’s savior. Jesus is holy. He is set apart. He is our righteousness. He is the only way to the father. He is the lamb that was slain. He is the king of our hearts. He is a friend that sticks closer than a brother. And our prayer, our prayer for our church in this message, Ephesians 1:17, you hear the appeal in the Apostle Paul’s letter. He says, “I keep asking that the Lord, the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious father, may give you the spirit of wisdom and revelation.” Why? So that you may know him better. You know, Jesus became real to me when I was 7 years old. I was always following mom and dad around like a little church mouse on Sunday morning, coming and going, watching those around me lift their hands. And you know, just one day, little seven-year-old Haley was in one of our church kids classrooms here at the Tacoma location, and I had my hands lifted, but if I’m honest, the only reason they were lifted is because that’s what my teachers told me to do. And something shifted in my little heart that day and I began weeping in worship because for the first time in my life I experienced the presence of Jesus. And it’s God’s presence that changes us. And I remember now that I’m older, I’m able to put words to it. It’s it was the Holy Spirit revealing the love of Christ to me. And you know, at at 7 years old, I didn’t have much to offer. I maybe had a few kids bucks, but what I did have Jes to offer Jesus was I could give him my heart, and that’s all he wants. God has only continued to reveal himself to me. And quickly, I wanted to share something. When I was 15 years old, I started leading worship in our junior high ministry. And I stumbled across this book that my mom had and it’s by Matt Redmond. It’s all about a heart of worship. And it says this, “From a heart so amazed by God and his wonders burns a love that will not be extinguished. It survives any situation and lives through any circumstance. it will not allow itself to be quenched for that would heap insult on the love it lives in response to. And I remember these words leaping into my heart and just saying, “Lord, like I just want to have a heart of worship. I want to honor you with my life. And I know I’m not perfect, but God, will you take my heart?” And I know today that’s all he’s asking of us, church, is to give him our heart. And then when we have a revelation of Jesus, that’s where everything changes. And I remember my mom would play songs on the piano late at night in our home and would sing simple songs like the heart of worship. And it goes, I’m coming back to the heart of worship. It’s all about you. It’s all about you, Jesus. You know, it’s in times in life, we we get busy and we get distracted and we’re like, “Oh, yeah, God, there you are.” But what’s so great is that all he wants is our heart. And all we have to say is things like, “I’m sorry, Lord, for the things I’ve made it.” And it’s all about you. And it’s all about you, Jesus. Oh, I’m coming back to the heart of worship. And it’s all about you. It’s all about you. You just have to say sorry. And I’m sorry, Lord, for the thing I made it. And it’s all about you. And it’s all about you, Jesus. So right now at every location, can we do this just in a response to who God is? Can we stand to our feet and can we honor King Jesus on Palm Sunday? Let’s just stay in this moment right here. We sing. Oh, I’m coming back to the heart of worship. And it’s all about you. It’s all about you, Jesus. Oh, I’m sorry, Lord, for the things I’ve made. And it’s all about you. And it’s all Come on, one more time. He just wants your heart today. We sing, “Oh, I’m coming back to the heart of worship. It’s all about It’s only been about you, Jesus. It’s all about you, Jesus. Oh, I’m sorry, Lord, for the thing I’ve made it. It’s all about you. and my whole life for your glory. My whole world for you only every day for the honor of your name. And if my days tell a story, let it of you only everything for the Come on. for the honor of King Jesus. Can you tell him today? And my whole life for your glory, my whole world for you every day for the honor of your name. And if my days tell a story, let it f of you only every day. For the honor of you are my life and my whole My name tell you every day for the honor of your name and know how I love you. Come on today and know how I love you. Jesus I love you. Oh, how I love you. Yes, I do. And oh, how I love you, Jesus. I love you. God, we pray this would be our posture. Yes, Lord. God, you can have all of us, God, our entire life. Come on, right now, church, wherever you’re at, you just tell God, “God, you can have all of me. Father, I submit to you, God. I thank you, Lord, that your plan is better. Your ways are higher. Father, we surrender our hearts to you all over again today, Jesus. God, this Holy Week, Lord, that you would reveal more of yourself to us, Father. That when we get in our word, we would see things that we didn’t see before. Reveal more of your character, more of your heart, because we know when we see you, Father, everything changes in our life. Everything changes in our life, Father. So we honor you today as king God. We love you today. We love you today in Jesus name. In Jesus name. If you keep reading the story in Palm Sunday in the book of Matthew, you see what happens there. There there’s this ripple effect and people start people start asking and it says that the whole city was stirred. Like when a church and a group of people gathers the heart of worship, when a group of people sees and people start to notice out there in the streets and at our workplaces and say, “Man, what’s going on? Who is this Jesus?” And this is what it says. All the city was stirred saying, “Who is this?” And the crowd said, “This is Jesus.” Church, when we get this heart and we let the word of God and the spirit of God transform our life, the city is then stirred, people start to ask, “What’s going on there at Champion Center? What’s going on? Why are they so Well, there’s something different and the city is stirred. And what a week. What a week to have a heart of worship. People come to Christ. People come to the house of God more on Easter than any other time of year. Let’s make sure everything that we do this week is centered around the heart of worship to God. We’re going to honor him in our speech. We’re going to honor him in those meetings. We’re going to honor him in our car with our kids. We’re going to honor him in all that we do. And people, I believe, are going to say, “What what is it? There’s something different. Who is this?” And maybe you’re here today. Maybe it’s your first time. Maybe you don’t have relationship with Jesus and you’re asking that question right now. Like, what’s going on here? Who what are they talking? I want that. I want relationship with Jesus. Can I tell you, you can have it. It’s about putting your faith in him and doing all the things we just God, I give you my life and I put my faith in you and I trust you and I ask you to forgive me of my sin. and all the mistakes you’ve ever made, they are forgiven when you put your faith in Jesus. And you have a hope and you have a future. Every head bowed, every eye closed, no one looking around. This is between you and your heavenly father. But if you’re in the room and you feel a stirring in your heart and you’re like, man, what is this? That is the Holy Spirit that he is talking to you today. He is drawing unto you today, saying, “It’s time to come home and stop trying to live life on your own strength, but come receive the grace of God and his power at work in your life.” If you’ve never made a decision to ask Jesus into your heart, or maybe you have, and today’s maybe more of a recommmitment for you. Let this be a line in the sand moment for you. But I want to see who I’m praying for. If you’ve never prayed this prayer or if today’s recommitment, on the count of three, just lift your hand. One, two, three. I want to see who I’m praying for. Thank you, Jesus. Thank you, Jesus. Hands all over. I believe at every location, people are making decisions today. Coming back to Jesus as a sign of support, we’re going to say this prayer together. Together, everyone say, “Lord Jesus, I ask you today, come into my heart. Come into my life. Forgive me of all my sin. Today I put my faith in you and I will serve you and honor you and worship you and worship you all the all the days all the days of my life of my life in Jesus mighty name. Everyone said a great big amen. Amen. Come on. Can we celebrate decisions in the house today? Welcome to the family of God.
