Scripture:
 
And the crowds that went before him and that followed him were shouting, “Hosanna to the Son of David! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord! Hosanna in the highest!” (MATTHEW 21:9)
 
So they took branches of palm trees and went out to meet him, crying out, “Hosanna! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord, even the King of Israel!” (JOHN 12:13)
 
And Jesus found a young donkey and sat on it, just as it is written, “Fear not, daughter of Zion; behold, your king is coming, sitting on a donkey's colt!” (JOHN 12:14-15)
 
And those who went before and those who followed were shouting, “Hosanna! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord! Blessed is the coming kingdom of our father David! Hosanna in the highest!” (MARK 11:9-10)
 
Prayer (by Pastor Chester):
Heavenly Father, we rejoice with You yet also weep with You on this holy Palm Sunday, recalling both the joy and tears flowing down on the face of Your only eternal Son our Lord Jesus, our Hosanna Savior, as He entered the city one final time knowing what lied ahead – rejection, suffering, and the cross. Show us the holiness of Christ as we enter this holy passion week. No one takes Your life from You, Lord Jesus, but You laid it down on Your own accord. You have authority to lay it down. You have authority to take it up again! You sovereignly purposed the cross as the greatest demonstration of Your love, for while we were still sinners, You died for us. So as we raise our palm branches of praise and come out to greet You today, may You find a genuine worshipper who cries, “Hosanna! Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord, the promised King to God’s people, the promised eternal Son to David! Behold, our King is coming, righteous and having salvation, humble and mounted on a colt!” Let us shout Hosanna – that You are our only Savior to save us from our sins, save us from our impending death, save us from the wrath of the final judgment to come! Let not our cries turn from praising You to crucifying You, but to trusting You and walking with You in the way of the cross, where we die to sin and live to righteousness, whereby Your wounds we find healing, whereby Your blood we are reconciled to You and one another. Bless our final week of holy week devotions with fasting and prayer. Bless our 9:30am breakfast fellowship with early worshippers. Bless our Palm Sunday discussion time & breaking of bread with joyful reflections. Bless the Officers today as they gather to plan and pray for Your church. Bless this Good Friday’s worship with renewed joy at the foot of the cross. Bless the tables/chairs setup this Saturday with our godly servants. Bless next Sunday’s join Easter worship with our children, holy communion, dessert ministry & April birthday blessings, Oh Happy Day fellowship with sounds of rejoicing in Christ’s resurrection. Bless all the precious life growing in the womb among us and Your creation sister Selene in nurture and growth. In the risen name of the One who bears the name of this church He founded, our Hosanna in the highest, our risen Lord Jesus Christ, receive Your welcome and praises with our palm branches lifted to the highest, Amen & amen.
