‘Faith, flags, and an unlikely kind of King’ by Dan Green - 29 March 2026

What do we expect from God’s kingdom and Jesus as King? In this Palm Sunday talk, Dan Green looks at what the crowd who welcomed Jesus into Jerusalem hoped and believed might happen, and how they would have been shocked by Jesus and what would happen next. Similarly, when crowds gather today with faith, flags and the nation in mind, does Jesus fit expectations? What do we expect from Jesus?

Questions for reflection

  • Where might you be missing Jesus because you have a fixed idea of what he should look like?

  • Where might you be looking for Jesus to do things your way?

  • Where can you sow into the upside‑down kingdom this week?

  • Where does this story give you hope, courage, or encouragement this Palm Sunday?
