Today’s message, “Sword and Surrender,” places us in the tension of Palm Sunday, where two very different visions of power enter the city. One comes with force and control. The other comes with humility and peace. And we are left with the question of which way we trust.

As you listen today, consider where you feel that tension in your own life, between fighting back and giving up, and what it might look like to choose the kind of courage that refuses to become what it opposes.
