Jesus, King | Dr. Tom Pace Preaching | 3.29.26
This Palm Sunday sermon explores the nature of Jesus as King and the unexpected character
of His kingdom. Dr. Pace challenges the congregation to move beyond superficial praise to
genuine allegiance to Christ's kingdom values. The sermon contrasts worldly expectations of a conquering political king with Jesus' radical kingdom that operates on principles of service,
giving, and downward mobility. Rather than viewing God's kingdom as "upside down," the
pastor reframes it as the "right-side-up" kingdom—the world has it backwards, not Jesus.
The call is to take small steps of obedience that, like mustard seeds, can grow into
transformative kingdom living. The sermon emphasizes that the kingdom of giving, serving, and loving is far superior to the world's kingdom of getting, being served, and self-promotion.
