🌿 *Lay Your Palms Down | When Praise Becomes Surrender*
📖 Palm Sunday Message | John 12:12–19 (ESV)
🎙 *Speaker: Pastor Bill Sizemore*
What if our praise isn’t the problem… but our surrender is?
On Palm Sunday, the crowd welcomed Jesus with shouts of “Hosanna!”*—declaring Him King. Yet just days later, many of those same voices cried out, *“Crucify Him.” What changed?
In this message, Pastor Bill Sizemore unpacks the tension between **praise and surrender**—and how it’s possible to celebrate Jesus without truly submitting to Him.
👉 They saw the right King—but through the wrong lens
👉 They expressed praise—but withheld surrender
👉 They wanted salvation—but not Lordship
🔥 *Key Truth:*
True praise leads to full surrender.

🌿 It’s one thing to wave palm branches in celebration—
…but another thing to lay them down in surrender.
💬 *Final Question:*
Will you keep waving your palm… or will you lay it down?
