Why They Cheered

Mar 29, 2026    Pastor Tom McMahon

On Palm Sunday, the crowds lifted their voices in praise—but their worship was shaped by misunderstanding. They welcomed Jesus as a passive teacher, a simple comforter, a vengeful ruler, and a meek miracle worker.

But Jesus didn’t come to fit their expectations—He came to fulfill the Father’s purpose.

In this message, we uncover how the crowd tried to conform Christ into their image… and how we often do the same today. Discover the difference between praising Jesus for who we want Him to be and worshiping Him for who He truly is—King, Savior, and Lord.
