Palm Sunday is more than just the Sunday before Easter—it’s a moment to pause, reflect, and remember why we worship a risen Savior. At Little Falls Chapel, our Palm Sunday worship and prayer service reminds us that Jesus is alive, moving in our lives today with healing, hope, and resurrection power.
Palm Sunday marks Jesus’ triumphant entry into Jerusalem. Crowds gathered, waving palm branches and shouting, “Hosanna! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!” (John 12:13). It was a day of celebration, but also a foreshadowing of the sacrifice that was coming.
At Little Falls Chapel, we see Palm Sunday not just as a biblical event, but as a call to worship with joy—even when life feels uncertain. This Sunday reminds us that Christ came in humility, knowing the cross awaited Him, and still chose love.
Let’s be honest: some Sundays, we come to church with heavy hearts. Maybe we’re not feeling well. Maybe we’re discouraged, like our dear friends Sue and Darlene who are struggling with health issues. Maybe our week has been exhausting, and it feels easier to stay home. But Palm Sunday teaches us something important:
God shows up when we show up.
Even in our weakness, God is present. Even when we’re down, we can still praise. Our community makes space for each other’s burdens. We lift each other up in prayer—because we believe in the healing power of Jesus.
At Little Falls Chapel, prayer isn’t just something we do—it’s the center of our gathering. This Palm Sunday, we’re praying for those in our church family who are sick, weary, or in need of a touch from God. Like Sue, who’s been back and forth from the ER. Like Denny, who’s recovering from illness. And like so many others quietly carrying burdens.
We believe healing isn’t just physical—it’s spiritual, emotional, and mental. That’s why our Palm Sunday prayer focuses on restoration through Christ.
As we prepare for Easter, Palm Sunday reminds us of what’s coming: the cross, the tomb, and then… the resurrection.
Jesus said in John 11:25-26:
“I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me will live, even though he dies; and whoever lives and believes in me will never die.”
That’s the hope we hold onto. Jesus didn’t just promise life after death—He promised resurrection life right now. It’s a new way of living. A life where fear doesn’t have the final word. A life of purpose, love, and hope.
We don’t just celebrate that Jesus rose from the grave. We celebrate that He’s still alive—and working in us.
As Romans 6:8-11 reminds us, because Christ was raised from the dead, death no longer has mastery. That means our fears, failures, and past sins don’t get the last word—Jesus does.
Palm Sunday also reminds us that Jesus chose to walk the hard road. He entered Jerusalem knowing what was ahead. He chose the cross, knowing the pain. Why? Because of us.
“Unless a kernel of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it remains only a single seed. But if it dies, it produces many seeds.” – John 12:24
His death brought life to many. And we’re called to follow in His steps—laying down our pride, our comfort, and our fears to follow Him. It’s not always easy, but it’s always worth it.
Peter, one of Jesus’ closest friends, denied Him three times before the rooster crowed. But Jesus didn’t cancel Peter. Instead, He forgave him—and used him to help build the early church.
If you feel like you’ve messed up too much to follow Jesus, remember Peter. Remember the grace that was extended to him. It’s available for you, too.
When the women came to the tomb on Easter morning, the angel said:
“He is not here; He has risen, just as He said.” – Matthew 28:6
That truth fuels our Palm Sunday celebration. It reminds us that no matter how dark things seem, resurrection is coming.
If you’re wondering how to experience the power of the resurrection in your own life, it’s simple:
Romans 10:9 says, “If you declare with your mouth, ‘Jesus is Lord,’ and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.”
That’s the invitation. That’s the joy of Palm Sunday.
You’re invited to celebrate Palm Sunday with us—a day of worship, prayer, encouragement, and the powerful reminder that Jesus is alive.
Whether you’re hurting, hopeful, or somewhere in between, there’s a place for you here. Come as you are. Bring your burdens. And leave with the joy of knowing that the resurrection power of Christ is real—and it’s working in you.
