Discussion QuestionS
The king arrives: Luke 19:28-40
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?”
Proverbs 3:5–6 — Trusting Him over your own understanding

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.”

  • What is hardest for you to release to God right now (finances, plans, your kids, your future)?

  • What would trusting Jesus with that actually look like this week?

Matthew 6:21 — Where your treasure is, there your heart will be

2 Corinthians 9:7 — Giving not reluctantly but cheerfully

4. How visible is your praise of Jesus in everyday life?

The crowd praised loudly and publicly.

  • In your normal environments (family, workplace, school), do people know you belong to Jesus?

  • What is one simple, natural way you could express your faith this week?

Matthew 5:16 — Let your light shine before others

Hebrews 13:15 — Continually offer a sacrifice of praise

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?

Palm Sunday points forward to the greatest coming King.

  • 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?

Titus 2:11–13 — Waiting for our blessed hope
Colossians 3:1–2 — Set your minds on things above
