JESUS IS The Sacrificial King | Pastor Noah Upton | Discover Church

On Palm Sunday, the crowd welcomed Jesus as King—but they misunderstood the kind of King He came to be. In this message, JESUS IS the Sacrificial King, we explore the tension between expectation and reality through Mark 9:30–32 and Mark 11:1–10. Jesus didn’t come to take a throne—He came to carry a cross. Discover what it truly means that Jesus is not just our Savior, but our King… what kind of King He is… and what His rule requires from us. This message challenges us with one defining question: How will you make way for the King in your life?
