Raynette K. Weiss ministries presents this online service for Palm Sunday March 28, 2021.

Opening song; Blessed is he who comes by Paul Wilbur
And I believe with perfect faith
In the coming of Messiah
Even though He tarries, I will wait for Him everyday
We are not ashamed, we are not afraid
We watch for His returning
Yeshua our Salvation we proclaim
Blessed is He Who comes in the Name of the Lord
Blessed is He Who comes in the Name of the Lord
In the coming of the King, “Hosanna” we will sing
Blessed is He Who comes in the Name of the Lord
And I believe the Son of Man
Yeshua our Messiah
Is the Lamb of God Who broke the curse
And made a living way
With a trumpet blast He will come again
The Lion of the tribe of Judah
Jerusalem will sing, “Baruch Haba”
Lion of Judah, Son of Man
King of kings, the Great I AM
Baruch Haba, come take Your throne forever

Opening Prayer;
Father, Palm Sunday is a reminder of the unexpected, yet fully anticipated, King of Kings. Jesus did not look like the Messiah Your people hoped for. The way He entered the Holy City of Jerusalem on that day, riding a young donkey as a significant sign of peace and fulfillment of prophecy, did not align with their expectations of a military conqueror. Much of our daily lives don’t align with our expectations, Father. So much of our lives don’t make sense. This Palm Sunday, let us embrace the unexpected entrance of our Savior, Jesus. He is Peace. Let us apply this incredible truth to our lives. Peace mattered to Jesus. He came to bring us Peace. He is peace. Father, how quickly we forget the Peace we possess in Christ! Remind us, minute by minute, as we navigate difficult days and trying times. Father, we need Peace to live life to the full, as Jesus died for us to live. We ask this in the name of Jesus. Amen.

This sermon is called rightful king;
The people of Israel had always understood Zechariah’s prophecy to refer to the Messiah, to God’s anointed king. The prophet said: “Rejoice greatly, O Daughter of Zion! Shout, Daughter of Jerusalem! See, your king comes to you, righteous and having salvation, gentle and riding on a donkey, on a colt, the foal of a donkey” (Zechariah 9:9).
When Jesus mounted the donkey—not just any donkey, but specifically a pure-bred colt, as Zechariah promised—he was presenting himself as Israel’s promised king. By his actions, he was saying, “Behold, thy king cometh unto thee.”
The Jews knew their Bibles, and many people in the crowd would have remembered the words of Zechariah and recognized what Jesus was doing. Some of them may have even remembered that when Solomon became Israel’s king, he was presented on the donkey of his father David (1 Kings 1:38-39). One clue that the people of Jerusalem recognized this connection is that, when they saw Jesus riding on the foal of a donkey, they said, “Hosanna to the Son of David!” (Matthew 21:9). In any case, by using that title, they were acclaiming Jesus to be their rightful king. They recognized that he had come “in the name of the Lord!” (Matthew 21:9; cf. Psalm 118:26).
Although it is often overlooked, there is an even older prophecy that explains why Jesus rode a donkey. Long before Zechariah, Jacob pronounced this blessing on his son Judah: “The scepter will not depart from Judah, nor the ruler’s staff from between his feet, until he comes to whom it belongs and the obedience of the nations is his. He will tether his donkey to a vine, his colt to the choicest branch” (Gen. 49:10-11a).
Jacob’s prophecy meant that Israel’s true king would come from the tribe of Judah, and that in some way he would be associated with the colt of a donkey. What is only hinted at in Genesis was made plain in the Gospel: Jesus, the Son of David, from the tribe of Judah, rode into Jerusalem as Israel’s rightful king.
If Jesus is the king, then all his loyal subjects must recognize his kingship. The Jews did this by calling him the Son of David, and also by spreading their cloaks before him. This was the ancient custom; people threw down their garments to make a carpet for the royal procession. We recognize his sovereignty by laying our hearts before him, throwing down our wills in absolute surrender, and asking Jesus to govern everything we think and say and do. Then we praise him as our rightful king. In the words of the ancient hymn by Theodulph of Orleans:
All glory, laud, and honor to thee, Redeemer, King,
to whom the lips of children made sweet hosannas ring!
Thou art the King of Israel, thou David’s royal Son,
who in the Lord’s name comest, the King and blessed One!

Closing song; We will worship him by Brenton Brown
Let us come together let us join as one
Let us turn our faces to the rising Son
Let us go up to Zion, to God’s holy hill
A mighty army that will worship him
We will worship Him, we will worship Him
Jesus, He’s our King, we will worship Him
In the time of war, we will rise and sing
To the glory of our God, we will worship Him
Jesu Inkosi, Jesu Inkosi, Jesu Inkosi, Jesu Inkosi
It is time for battle, it is time for war
As we sing hosanna as we praise the Lord
He will still the accuser, crush the enemy
As we celebrate God’s victory

Closing Prayer; Loving God, We praise you in a special way today as we celebrate Palm Sunday. Be with us as we begin our journey through Holy Week that we may draw closer to you, knowing suffering and death, yet remaining hopeful in the life you promise. We ask this through Christ, our Lord. Amen.  

Benediction; Go in peace from this place like Jesus and your Heavenly Father want you to. Have a good week, and spread this word to all your friends and neighbors. Have a Happy Palm Sunday. Go in peace.

For those who wish to become a child of our heavenly Lord, or strengthen thier faith, please pray the following prayer below.

Dear Heavenly Father, I want to be a part of your family. You said in Your Word that if I acknowledge that You raised Jesus from the dead, and that I accept Him as my Lord and Savior, I would be saved. Thank you, Heavenly Father, for forgiving me, saving me, and giving me eternal life with You. Amen!” 
By saying this prayer, we believe you are born again.
