March 29th 2026
Ice Breakers: What’s something you wish you were in charge of, but probably shouldn’t be?
1. Who is actually ruling your life right now?
Jesus entered as King—but many wanted a different kind of king.
Where are you most tempted to resist Jesus’ authority (time, money, relationships, decisions, reputation)?
What does it look like this week to actively submit that area to Him?
Luke 6:46 — “Why do you call me ‘Lord, Lord,’ and not do what I tell you?”

2. What would it look like to “lay down your cloak” this week?
The crowd gave what they had as an act of honor.
What is something practical you can offer Jesus this week—your time, comfort, preferences, possessions?
How might that look in your home, workplace, or school?
Romans 12:1 — Present your bodies as a living sacrifice
Colossians 3:17 — Do everything in the name of the Lord
3. Do you give to Jesus with open hands—or tight control?
“The Lord has need of it.”

5. Where might you be acting like the Pharisees?
They were uncomfortable with true worship and resisted Jesus.
Are there ways you feel embarrassed, skeptical, or resistant toward wholehearted worship or obedience?
What is underneath that—fear of people, pride, control, apathy?
John 12:42–43 — Loving the glory of man more than God
Revelation 3:15–16 — Warning against lukewarm faith
6. Are you longing for Jesus’ return—or just managing life here?

How often do you think about Christ’s return? Does it shape your priorities?
What would change this week if you truly longed for His coming?
