Summary
In Matthew 21, Jesus enters Jerusalem as King—but not in the way the world might expect. His ministry is not built around celebrity, self-promotion, or personal advancement. It is marked by service, generosity, humility, and care for people. In this teaching, Pastor Mike begins walking through Matthew 21:1–17 and contrasts the ministry of Jesus with our tendency to equate size, recognition, and momentum with spiritual success. Jesus shows us that kingdom greatness is not found in building a name for ourselves, but in using our lives to bless and serve others.
