Quite a number of years ago I jotted down these headings from sermons I listened to on the interweb:
From Nathan Buttery:
(1) The King who Controls his own Destiny (vv1-3)
(2) The King who Comes in Humility (vv4-7)
(3) The King who will Complete the Victory (vv8-11)
(1) The king’s sovereignty (vv1-3)
(2) The king’s humility (vv4-9)
Today I also listened to:
St Helen’s Bishopsgate – William Taylor – Matthew 21:1-11 – God’s King – http://www.st-helens.org.uk/resources/media-library/src/talk/7414/title/1-god-s-king -19 November 2002 – Series: A Godless Affair
Promise and long-awaited fulfilment: Jesus
is the authentic deal, the real McCoy
Ch 19-25: The authentic Kingdom v the
religious sham
(1)
The arrival of Jesus as God’s
king in God’s city
Donkey a kind of robin reliant not the gold
state carriage or presidential helicopter, no stretch limo with police out-riders
not a war horse but donkey a sign of peace, not an armoured personnel carrier
(2)
The acclamation of God’s king
by the gathered people of God
The choreography of vv6-9 – who is speaking
here
The king will gather his people to him and
bring the redeemed of the Lord into Jerusalem
Is 35 – the ransomed of the Lord will come
in with singing
Ps 118 – God’s people welcome God’s king
into God’s city
V10 – stirred – suggests an earthquake – the city is shaken by Jesus

I am blessed and feel privieged and honored to get connected with you as well as know you and the ministry you have, through your profile on t he blogger and t he blog post. I love getting connected with the people of God around the globe to be encouraged, strengthened and praying for one another. I have been in the Pastoral ministtry for last 37 yrs in this great city of Mumbai a city with a great contrast where richest of rich and the poorest of poor live. We reachout to the poorest of poor with the love of Christ to bring healing to the brokenhearted. We also encourage young and the adults from the westto come to Mumbai to work with us during their vacation time. We would love to have young people from your three parishes to come to Mumbai to work with us during thier vacation time. I am sure they will have a life changing experience. In the past we have had many young people coming to work with us through Oasis, Interserve and YWAM. I have visited England number of time and will be so glad to visit you and your parishes if the Lord gives me another opportunity to visit England. My email id is:dhwankhede(at)gmail(dot)com and my name is Diwakar Wankhede. Looking forward to hear from you very soon. God's richest blessings on you, your family and friends.
