Summary
When Jesus entered Jerusalem on Palm Sunday it forced the crowd to answer the question of "Who is He?". In the same way, we must answer that question today.
Christ is in control
The crowd desired to control Christ
You must conclude who Jesus is

In what ways do people today try to fit Jesus into their own agendas instead of following Him as Lord?
How does your view of Jesus impact the way you live your daily life?

| 0:00.0 | Well, it is crazy to me that this week is already the five-year anniversary of the week that changed the world. |
| 0:06.5 | If you remember that this week in March of 2020 was the week that really changed everything. |
| 0:12.3 | And everything happened so fast. |
| 0:13.8 | And that week, to me, still feels like yesterday. |
| 0:15.7 | I can remember so many moments from that week, specifically at the beginning of the week on Sunday. |
| 0:20.0 | I happened to be the one preaching. And I made a very bad joke where I said something like, hey, I know some of you during meet and greet, you're already looking for hand sanitizer because you're afraid you're going to get COVID. And say that on Sunday, and then all of a sudden it becomes very clear, oh, this isn't just something to laugh about. This gets really, really serious, really, really fast. I don't know if you remember where you were when you realized, |
| 0:42.5 | oh, everything has just changed. This is a really, really big deal. But for me, I'll never forget |
| 0:47.8 | it was at Torchy Tacos. Because on Wednesday night, I went to Torchies, and it was the last |
| 0:53.7 | time I'd get to go out to eat for a while |
| 0:55.9 | because we were meeting some friends who had come into town. They were going to get married that weekend. |

| 1:06.2 | even in their wedding parties saying, hey, we're not coming this weekend because we don't want to get COVID. |
| 1:10.9 | And spring at the silos got canceled while we were at dinner. And then we're looking up at |
| 1:15.4 | the TV screen that says that Tom Hanks has COVID. And at that time, it was just like, man, |
| 1:19.8 | is everyone going to die? Like, that's what it felt like. And then even that night, the NBA season |
| 1:25.2 | gets canceled. And then the next morning, the S&P 500 drops 10%. |
| 1:29.5 | First, the greatest drop since 1987. March Madness gets canceled. Then on Friday, the government |
| 1:37.5 | issues 15 days to stop the spread, which was super effective. And, yeah, uh, and in that day, we also decided along with |
| 1:47.2 | lots of other local churches here to cancel in-person services. Then I happen to be preaching |
| 1:52.5 | that next Sunday as well. So I gather all my notes, show up in here, and there's nobody in here, |
| 1:56.7 | and I'm just speaking to a camera, doing something I never thought I would do, and everything |
| 2:00.7 | just changed like that. |
