Sundays at All Hallows (Sunday, April 13, 2025) Is Now Online
Welcome to Sundays at All Hallows.
This Sunday is Palm Sunday. It marks the beginning of Holy Week, a week in which Christians in the Western Church recall the crucifixion of the Lord Jesus Christ and the events leading up to his suffering and death. It commemorates Jesus’ triumphant entry into Jerusalem, riding on a donkey while the multitude welcomed him with palm branches and shouts of “Hosanna”.
In many Anglican, Lutheran, Methodists, and other Protestant churches, on this particular Sunday the people gather in a place apart from the church and then enter the church in procession, carrying branches of palm or of other trees or shrubs and singing hymns and palms appropriate to the occasion. The procession may be preceded or interspersed with other devotions. Later in the service one of the gospel accounts of the crucifixion is read.
In this Sunday’s message we consider the question, “Did Jesus’ death have a purpose?”
Readings: Isaiah 50.4–9a; Philippians 2.5–11; and Luke 23.1–49
Message: Did Jesus’ Death Have a Purpose?
