## Resource

In a valley that celebrates power, ambition, and agency, Palm Sunday confronts us with something radically different. Rector John Gorin walks us through Matthew 27, where Jesus stands before Pilate in what can only be described as peak powerlessness: betrayed by a friend, denied by another, facing injustice, and mocked by the crowd. Yet in that moment, Jesus models something our culture rarely teaches us. Drawing on Isaiah 53, Philippians 2, and 2 Timothy 2, this sermon asks three questions for anyone feeling overwhelmed by circumstances beyond their control: How do I respond? How is God using this in my life? And how do I get through this? Whether you are navigating job insecurity, relational hurt, or simply the weight of a world moving faster than anyone can follow, this message offers an ancient and Christ-centered path through it. Recorded live at Holy Trinity Silicon Valley Anglican Church, Palo Alto, CA. Holy Trinity Silicon Valley is a liturgical Anglican church (ACNA/C4SO) located at 3373 Middlefield Road, Palo Alto. We gather each Sunday at 10:30 AM for worship rooted in the Book of Common Prayer 2019. Learn more at holytrinitysv.org.
