The Unlikely Ruler
What if the King we needed didn’t look like a king at all? In The Unlikely Ruler, we close out The Shepherd King series by looking at Palm Sunday through fresh eyes. As Jesus enters Jerusalem, the crowd celebrates a Savior they think they know—but their expectations fall short of who He truly is.
