Greeting
Beware of Crowd Mentality! Crowd mentality affects our thoughts, emotions, and behaviors, sometimes making us conform, obey, or think as a group. Faith on the other hand is deeply personal. Hear Jesus speak love and acceptance to you today.

Palm Sunday Gospel
Matthew 2:1-11 - As they approached Jerusalem and came to Bethphage on the Mount of Olives, Jesus sent two disciples, saying to them, “Go to the village ahead of you, and at once you will find a donkey tied there, with her colt by her. Untie them and bring them to me. If anyone says anything to you, say that the Lord needs them, and he will send them right away.” This took place to fulfill what was spoken through the prophet: “Say to Daughter Zion, ‘See, your king comes to you, gentle and riding on a donkey, and on a colt, the foal of a donkey.’” The disciples went and did as Jesus had instructed them. They brought the donkey and the colt and placed their cloaks on them for Jesus to sit on. A very large crowd spread their cloaks on the road, while others cut branches from the trees and spread them on the road. The crowds that went ahead of him and those that followed shouted, “Hosanna to the Son of David!” “Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!” “Hosanna in the highest heaven!” When Jesus entered Jerusalem, the whole city was stirred and asked, “Who is this?” The crowds answered, “This is Jesus, the prophet from Nazareth in Galilee.”
Apostles Creed
Pastor: Do you believe in God the Father?
All: I believe in God, the Father Almighty, maker of heaven and earth.
Pastor: Do you believe in Jesus Christ, the Son of God?
All: I believe in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord, who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died and was buried. He descended into hell. The third day He rose again from the dead. He ascended into heaven and sits at the right hand of God the Father Almighty. From thence He will come to judge the living and the dead.
Pastor: Do you believe in God the Holy Spirit?
All: I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy Christian Church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting. Amen.
All Glory Laud And Honor
All glory laud and honor

To whom the lips of children
Made sweet hosannas ring
You are the King of Israel
And Davids royal Son
Now in the Lords name coming
Our King and Blessed One
All glory laud and honor
To You Redeemer King
To whom the lips of children
Made sweet hosannas ring
The multitude of pilgrims
With palms before You went
Our praise and prayer and anthems

All glory laud and honor
To You Redeemer King
To whom the lips of children
Made sweet hosannas ring
To You before Your passion
They sang their hymns of praise
To You now high exalted
Our melody we raise
All glory laud and honor
To You Redeemer King
To whom the lips of children
Made sweet hosannas ring
Their praises You accepted
Accept the prayers we bring
Great Author of all goodness
O good and gracious King

Message: Crowd Mentality
Matthew 20:18-19 - “We are going up to Jerusalem, and the Son of Man will be delivered over to the chief priests and the teachers of the law. They will condemn him to death and will hand him over to the Gentiles to be mocked and flogged and crucified. On the third day he will be raised to life!”
Matthew 21:8 - A very large crowd spread their cloaks on the road, while others cut branches from the trees and spread them on the road.
Matthew 21:9-11 - The crowds that went ahead of him and those that followed shouted, “Hosanna to the Son of David!” “Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!” “Hosanna in the highest heaven!” When Jesus entered Jerusalem, the whole city was stirred and asked, “Who is this?” The crowds answered, “This is Jesus, the prophet from Nazareth in Galilee.”
Matthew 27:22-26 - “What shall I do, then, with Jesus who is called the Messiah?” Pilate asked. They all answered, “Crucify him!” “Why? What crime has he committed?” asked Pilate. But they shouted all the louder, “Crucify him!” When Pilate saw that he was getting nowhere, but that instead an uproar was starting, he took water and washed his hands in front of the crowd. “I am innocent of this man’s blood,” he said. “It is your responsibility!” All the people answered, “His blood is on us and on our children!” Then he released Barabbas to them. But he had Jesus flogged, and handed him over to be crucified.
Luke 19:37 - “the whole crowd of disciples began joyfully to praise God in loud voices…”
1 Peter 3:18 - “Christ died for sins once for all … to bring you to God”
Prayer
Confession & Forgiveness
Pastor: O Lord, with the Palm Sunday crowd, we cry to you this day:
All: Hosanna! Save us now we pray!
Pastor: Save us for we have sinned against you in thought, word and deed.
All: Save us for we have sinned against you by what we have done and by what we have left undone.
Pastor: Save us, for we have not loved you with our whole heart.
All: Save us, for we have not loved our neighbors as ourselves.
Pastor: For the sake of Jesus Christ, the Son of David and your Son, have mercy on us.
All: Forgive us, renew us and lead us by your Holy Spirit. Enable us to walk in your ways to the glory of your holy name. Amen
Pastor: Jesus Christ became obedient unto death, even death on a cross, so that through faith in him you could receive life and salvation. It is in his name, the name that is above every name, that your sins are forgiven. To him be the glory!
The Lord’s Prayer
All: Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us, and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom and the power, and the glory, forever and ever. Amen.
Blessing
Romans 11:36 - For from him and through him and for him are all things. To him be the glory forever! Amen.
Christ Be Magnified
Were creation suddenly articulate
With a thousand tongues to lift one cry
From north to south and east to west
We'd hear Christ be magnified
Were the whole earth echoing His eminence
His name would burst from sea and sky
From rivers to the mountain tops
We'd hear Christ be magnified
O Christ be magnified
Let His praise arise
Christ be magnified in me
O Christ be magnified
From the altar of my life
Christ be magnified in me
When every creature finds its inmost melody
And every human heart its native cry
Then in one enraptured hymn of praise
We'll sing Christ be magnified
O Christ be magnified
Let His praise arise
Christ be magnified in me
O Christ be magnified
From the altar of my life
Christ be magnified in me
I won't bow to idols
I'll stand strong and worship You
And if it puts me in the fire
I'll rejoice 'cause You're there too
I won't be formed by feelings
I’ll hold fast to what is true
If the cross brings transformation
Then I'll be crucified with You
'Cause death is just the doorway
Into resurrection life
If I join You in Your suffering
Then I'll join You when You rise
And when You return in glory
With all the angels and the saints
My heart will still be singing
My song will be the same
O Christ be magnified
Let His praise arise
Christ be magnified in me
O Christ be magnified
From the altar of my life
Christ be magnified in me
O Christ be magnified
Let His praise arise
Christ be magnified in me
O Christ be magnified
From the altar of my life
Christ be magnified in me
