Zechariah foretold the triumphal entry 400 years before it happened.

1. RLCSAC Sermon Podcast features Pastor Dean Deguara preaching "He’s My Promise Keeper: Unleashing God’s Promise and Presence" from the series "That’s My King." 2. Pastor Jessie, identified as Real Life Church’s Executive Pastor, opens the message and explains the church vision to "engage real life, embrace real people, and encounter a real God." 3. Dean frames the sermon as a message about Jesus being both "promise maker" and "promise keeper" for believers in 2025. 4. He says there are at least 44 prophetic promises in the Old Testament that were fulfilled in Jesus’s life. 5. He says those fulfilled promises matter because the church is entering Passion Week with two Good Friday services and Easter Sunday services at Real Life Church. 6. He warns that believers should not only remember the historical events of the cross, burial, resurrection, and ascension. 7. He argues that Christians should also live by the revelations and promises those events provide. 8. He reads Matthew 21:1-11 and centers the triumphal entry on Jesus sending disciples to find a donkey and colt in Bethphage by the Mount of Olives. 9. He repeats the instruction, "Untie them and bring them to me," and treats it as a picture of freedom and purpose. 10. He says the donkey symbolizes humility and peace, and he uses Zechariah 9:9 to show that Jesus entered Jerusalem exactly as prophesied. 11. He connects the donkey to people who are tied to judgment, ex-relationships, trauma, addiction, worry, pride, secrets, shame, and fear. 12. He says worry should be exchanged for worship, and shame should be exchanged for freedom through truth. 13. He says Jesus needs people who are "loosed to their purpose" and "free to pursue my plan." 14. He argues that the path to carrying God’s peace is simple surrender, because "untie" and "unite" share the same letters but opposite meanings. 15. He says a carrier of promise must kill pride and self-reliance, because earthly kings rode horses while Jesus chose a donkey. 16. He quotes 2 Corinthians 12:9-10 to say God’s grace is sufficient and that strength is made perfect in weakness. 17. He says God chooses "things the world considers foolish" and "things despised by the world" so no one can boast before him. 18. He says the crowd’s "Hosanna" is both a plea for help and a shout of trust, especially as he describes the billboard purchase for Real Life Church and a reported $4,000 check in the lobby. 19. The tone mixes direct preaching, repetition, scripture reading, and call-and-response, with repeated phrases like "That’s my king" and "He is my promise keeper." 20. People who like scripture-driven sermons about Palm Sunday, humility, and surrender will fit this message, while listeners wanting a short, non-religious talk will probably skip it.
