Song Title: Your Love Awakens Me

Verse 1

There were walls between us
By the cross You came and broke them down
You broke them down
And there were chains around us
By Your grace we are no longer bound
No longer bound

Pre-Chorus

You called me out of the grave
You called me into the light
You called my name and then my heart came alive

Chorus

Your love is greater
Your love is stronger
Your love awakens awakens awakens me
(REPEAT)

Verse 2

Feel the darkness shaking
All the dead are coming back to life
I’m back to life
Hear the song awaken
All creation singing we’re alive
‘Cause You’re alive

Bridge

And what a love we’ve found
Death can’t hold us down
We shout it out
We’re alive ’cause You’re alive

Ending

Your love awakens me
Your love is greater
Your love is stronger
You’re love awakens awakens awakens me

Song Title: Graves Into Gardens

Verse 1

I searched the world but it couldn’t fill me
Man’s empty praise and treasures that fade
Are never enough
Then You came along and put me back together
And every desire is now satisfied here in Your love

Chorus

Oh there’s nothing better than You
There’s nothing better than You
Lord there’s nothing
Nothing is better than You

Verse 2

I’m not afraid to show You my weakness
My failures and flaws
Lord You’ve seen them all
And You still call me friend
‘Cause the God of the mountain
Is the God of the valley
And there’s not a place
Your mercy and grace won’t find me again

Bridge

You turn mourning to dancing
You give beauty for ashes
You turn shame into glory
You’re the only one who can

Bridge

You turn graves into gardens
You turn bones into armies
You turn seas into highways
You’re the only one who can

I see the King of glory
Coming on the clouds with fire
The whole earth shakes
The whole earth shakes yeah

Verse 2

I see His love and mercy
Washing over all our sin
The people sing
The people sing

Chorus

Hosanna hosanna
Hosanna in the highest
Hosanna hosanna
Hosanna in the highest

Verse 3

I see a generation
Rising up to take their place
With selfless faith
With selfless faith

Verse 4

I see a near revival
Stirring as we pray and seek
We’re on our knees
We’re on our knees

Bridge

Heal my heart and make it clean
Open up my eyes to the things unseen
Show me how to love like You have loved me
Break my heart for what breaks Yours
Everything I am for Your Kingdom’s cause
As I walk from earth into eternity

Song Title: Only King Forever

Our God and firm foundation
Our Rock the only solid ground
The nations rise and fall
Kingdoms once strong now shaken
We trust forever in Your name

We trust in the name of Jesus

Almighty God we lift You higher
You are the only King forever
Forevermore You are victorious

Unmatched in all Your wisdom
In love and justice You will reign

Our hope is anchored in Your name
The name of Jesus
Oh we trust the name of Jesus

We lift our banner high
We lift the name of Jesus
From age to age You reign
Your kingdom has no end
(REPEAT)

SERMON NOTES with SCRIPTURE

SERMON SERIES: A Living Faith

SERMON TITLE: Palm Sunday

TEACHER:  Pastor Dan Vandewarker

PASSAGE: Matthew 21:1-11

____________________

SERMON NOTES

The Problem: When perception defines reality truth becomes obsolete.

Main Idea: Jesus came as the King (Matthew 21:1-3)

Matthew 21:1-3 | New International Version

21 As they approached Jerusalem and came to Bethphage on the Mount of Olives, Jesus sent two disciples, ² 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. ³ If anyone says anything to you, say that the Lord needs them, and he will send them right away.”

Observation: A humble and peaceful King (Matthew 21:4-5)

Matthew 21:4-5 | New International Version

⁴ This took place to fulfill what was spoken through the prophet:

⁵ “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.’”

Observation: He came as the Savior (Matthew 21:6-9)

⁶ The disciples went and did as Jesus had instructed them. ⁷ They brought the donkey and the colt and placed their cloaks on them for Jesus to sit on. ⁸ A very large crowd spread their cloaks on the road, while others cut branches from the trees and spread them on the road. ⁹ 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!”

The Challenge: Accept Jesus as your savior and have a living faith. (Matthew 21:10-11)

¹⁰ When Jesus entered Jerusalem, the whole city was stirred and asked, “Who is this?”

¹¹ The crowds answered, “This is Jesus, the prophet from Nazareth in Galilee.”
