March 29, 2026 | The King We Want vs. the King Who Came - Brett Meador

About this sermon

In Galatians 5:1, Paul addresses a major issue in the Galatian church: a failure to understand the true freedom Christ came to give. On Palm Sunday 2026, we look at how similar confusion happened when Jesus rode into Jerusalem on a donkey to shouts of “Hosanna.” As we study, we see how Jesus has been misunderstood throughout history, why these misconceptions and fickleness are so dangerous to our faith, and the true freedom we find when we understand who He really is and why He came.
