·37 min·3 clips

The pastor says you can get many things wrong, but getting Jesus' identity wrong means you cannot be 'all right'.

The episode is a Christian sermon delivered by Pastor Scott Howard at Life Church of Mobile on Palm Sunday, March 29, 2026. It begins with church announcements about a Good Friday service and Resurrection Sunday celebration. Howard introduces the theme of 'abundant praise,' tying it to the year's focus on abundance. He reads Matthew 21:1-10, highlighting the crowd's question 'Who is this?' about Jesus during the triumphal entry. Howard notes this is the only time Jesus rode in Scripture, on a donkey, symbolizing humility. He stresses that Jesus' identity as the only way to the Father is the question determining eternity. The sermon shifts to Psalm 100, discussing praise as applause for God. Howard then delves into the story of David and Michal from 2 Samuel 6. He explains how Michal criticized David's exuberant worship from a window, representing a critical spirit disconnected from God's presence. Howard contrasts being on the 'dance floor of praise' versus in the 'window of scorn,' urging listeners to guard their hearts. He emphasizes that everyone has an 'original praise' based on their unique story with God. The sermon includes interactive moments where Howard asks the congregation to stand and give praise for healing, provision, and moving from surviving to thriving. He concludes by encouraging listeners to 'stay in the dance' with God, allowing Him to lead daily. The episode ends with a musical transition and a church website plug.

As heard by us

Palm Sunday becomes a study of praise, criticism, and the danger of standing close to presence without joining it.

Life Church Mobile's Palm Sunday message centers on the question, "Who is this?" and uses it to move from public praise into the story of David and Michael.
