Dear Family,

What if your expectations for Jesus are too small?

This Sunday, we step into the tension of Palm Sunday—a crowd full of hope, waving branches, shouting “Hosanna!”… and yet missing the kind of King standing right in front of them. We all carry expectations—of God, of life, of each other—but what happens when Jesus refuses to meet them the way we imagined?

Join us as we explore how Jesus doesn’t just meet expectations—He overturns them.

Before you come, take a few minutes to read Matthew 21:8–11. Come ready to wrestle with this question: Which Jesus are you expecting—and which one is actually coming for you?

Dear St. Andrews Family,

The Lord’s Prayer contains a line we often rush past:

“Deliver us from evil.”

But what if Jesus meant it more seriously than werealize? What if the world is more contested than we think?

We’ll talk about wilderness, whirlpools, andwhy the prayer Jesus gave us is actually a prayer for people living in the middle of a battle.

Come ready to wrestle with one of the most powerful—and unsettling—lines Jesus ever taught us to pray.

Pastor Jace

Dear St. Andrews Family,

A lot of Preachers talk about forgiveness, but forgiveness is richer and higher and harder and more shocking than we imagine. It’s not just an act of piety, it’s liberation of the cosmos. I can’t begin to encapsulate this in a blurb so letme tell you this…

I want to tell you a story about a man in prison and a son compelled to eat pig slop and a prophet King who came to free the world. I am praying that you will see “Forgive us our debts as we forgive out debtors,” in an all-new way.

Pastor Jace
