Leader Hints are designed to help guide a leader to some information that we want to “tease” out of the group. They are not there for you to directly read to the participants. People are significantly more likely to remember things they said or came up with, so your goal is to help direct them to that answer.
FINAL NOTE: Our goal is to get to the [APPLICATION QUESTION] to help work with people through how to apply what God is doing in their life.
INTRO:
- Icebreaker: What’s your go to type of restaurant?
REBUILD THE SERMON:
- Opening Illustration: Have you ever experienced something unexpected that made you laugh or feel confused? Share your story.
- Jesus’ Final Week: What do you think the significance is of Jesus openly confronting the religious leaders during His final week?
- Palm Sunday: Why do you think Jesus chose to ride into Jerusalem on a donkey, and what does this symbolize?
- Historical Context: How does the historical context of King Solomon riding a donkey to be anointed king enhance our understanding of Jesus’ actions?
- Crowd’s Expectations: Why were the people shouting “Hosanna” and calling Jesus “king”? What were they expecting Him to do?
- Disciples’ Expectations: Even after Jesus’ resurrection, why did the disciples still expect Him to restore the Kingdom to Israel?
- Jesus’ Humility: How does Jesus washing His disciples’ feet contrast with the expectations of Him being a waring general? What does this act teach us about humility and service?
Application Question:
- Reflecting on the sermon and these discussions, how can you apply the lesson of Jesus’ unexpected humility and service to your own life? What steps can you take to serve others with humility this week?
- Take up prayer requests and pray together.
