My dear friends,
2
00:00:02,120 --> 00:00:05,120
today, we gather to celebrate Palm Sunday,
3
00:00:05,120 --> 00:00:07,480
the beginning of Holy Week,
4
00:00:07,480 --> 00:00:10,320
as we remember the triumphant entry of Jesus
5
00:00:10,320 --> 00:00:11,720
into Jerusalem.
6
00:00:12,600 --> 00:00:13,960
With great joy,
7
00:00:13,960 --> 00:00:17,520
the people laid down palm branches and shouted,
8
00:00:17,520 --> 00:00:21,880
“Hosanna! Blessed is He who
comes in the name of the Lord!”
9
00:00:23,840 --> 00:00:26,720
As we reflect on this special day,
10
00:00:26,720 --> 00:00:30,680
we are reminded of Jesus’ humility, love,
11
00:00:30,680 --> 00:00:33,320
and the hope He brings to the world.
12
00:00:34,600 --> 00:00:36,400
Palm Sunday invites us
13
00:00:36,400 --> 00:00:38,880
to open our hearts to Christ,
14
00:00:38,880 --> 00:00:42,040
welcoming Him as our Saviour and King.
15
00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:46,560
It also encourages us to walk with Him
16
00:00:46,560 --> 00:00:49,400
through the events of the coming days,
17
00:00:49,400 --> 00:00:51,440
preparing ourselves
18
00:00:51,440 --> 00:00:54,840
for the significance of His sacrifice
19
00:00:54,840 --> 00:00:56,000
and resurrection.
20
00:00:57,080 --> 00:01:00,720
So let us now join together in worship,
21
00:01:00,720 --> 00:01:03,120
lifting our voices and pray.
22
00:01:05,280 --> 00:01:10,400
In the name of the Father,
and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.
23
00:01:10,400 --> 00:01:12,440
Amen.
24
00:01:12,440 --> 00:01:14,040
Heavenly Father,
25
00:01:14,040 --> 00:01:16,560
On this joyful Palm Sunday,
26
00:01:16,560 --> 00:01:19,600
we come before You with hearts full of praise
27
00:01:19,600 --> 00:01:21,960
and gratitude.
28
00:01:21,960 --> 00:01:24,400
We join with the crowd that welcomed Jesus
29
00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:26,240
into Jerusalem,
30
00:01:26,240 --> 00:01:28,440
waving our palms
31
00:01:28,440 --> 00:01:32,040
and lifting our voices in praise.
32
00:01:32,040 --> 00:01:35,360
We thank You for the love, grace,
33
00:01:35,360 --> 00:01:37,040
and salvation You offer us
34
00:01:37,040 --> 00:01:40,400
through Your Son, Jesus Christ.
35
00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:43,160
As we remember His humble entry,
36
00:01:43,160 --> 00:01:47,160
we ask that You help us to embrace His example of peace
37
00:01:47,160 --> 00:01:50,480
and humility in our own lives.
38
00:01:50,480 --> 00:01:54,880
Help us to acknowledge His kingship over our lives.
39
00:01:54,880 --> 00:01:56,280
Let us follow Him,
40
00:01:56,280 --> 00:01:58,000
not just with words,
41
00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:00,440
but with actions of kindness,
42
00:02:00,440 --> 00:02:04,000
compassion, and service.
43
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:06,160
Help us to prepare our hearts
44
00:02:06,160 --> 00:02:09,480
for the journey ahead this Holy Week,
45
00:02:09,480 --> 00:02:12,040
to reflect on His sacrifice,
46
00:02:12,040 --> 00:02:16,760
and to renew our commitment to walk in His footsteps.
47
00:02:16,760 --> 00:02:20,520
May His presence in our lives bring us hope,
48
00:02:20,520 --> 00:02:23,800
joy, and strength as we await
49
00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:27,560
the resurrection on Easter Sunday.
50
00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:30,760
In Jesus’ name, we pray.
51
00:02:30,760 --> 00:02:33,040
Amen.
