“Prophetic Living that Makes Change Real”
Sermon given by Pastor Robb on Palm Sunday, March 29, 2026.
Continues the Surveying Deep Roots for New Seasons sermon series.
Covers Zechariah 9:9-17 and Matthew 21:1-11.
The role of prophet is a powerful one throughout all of scripture. There can be a lot of conceptions of what prophets do, including being mainly a sort of inscrutable predictor. In the life and ministry of Jesus, though, we can see what the prophetic office is truly most about: embodying, making real, God’s words and movement of eternal character into the deepest hopes and struggles of any particular moment and circumstance. God showed a different quality of loving, serving authority to the people returning from exile through the prophet Zechariah, Jesus embodied it again in the face of the Romans at Palm Sunday, and we can trust that God will continue to speak to and show us how to embody transformation where it is needed most today.
