FIELD NOTES vol. 3 - Hosanna: Help & Hope

Have you ever wondered: Why does it matter? Why does the significance of Holy Week matter in the current culture? Vol. 3 of Field Notes tackles this question, & in this first episode, Bethany Barr Phillips explores the significance of Palm Sunday and why it matters today. It's not enough to go through another season of remembrance and allow it to have no significance. 

Bethany defines the shout of “Hosanna!” & reflects on the importance of the cross, the duality of human nature in expressing hope and despair, and the need for divine intervention in our lives. Through personal anecdotes - like the time she caught a turtle & panicked - and scriptural references, Bethany encourages listeners to embrace their faith and seek help from God during this reflective season.

 

Takeaways

• Our flesh is capable of anything when we are choosing to it over the hope and help of Jesus.
• Jesus' entry into Jerusalem symbolizes hope and the need for help.
• We need to acknowledge our need for God's intervention.
• “Hosanna!” is a cry of help and hope.
• Jesus chose humility in his entrance, making him accessible to all.
