In this Palm Sunday message from Grumlaw Church, Pastor Matt unpacks the deeper spiritual significance of Jesus' triumphal entry into Jerusalem and connects it to a transformative threefold prayer life: ask, seek, and knock. Drawing from Luke 11, he emphasizes that prayer is not just a transactional request but a lifestyle of vulnerability, trust, and surrender. Using personal stories—like his own journey from an unathletic kid to earning a football letter jacket—he illustrates how the Israelites celebrated Jesus as a political savior, only to later demand his crucifixion, revealing the fickle nature of human desire. The message challenges listeners to move beyond demanding answers from God and instead submit their hearts to His greater plan. Pastor Matt explains that asking involves expressing desires while trusting God’s sovereignty, seeking is daily pursuit of knowing God’s character and will, and knocking is the courageous action of stepping into faith, even when the future is uncertain. He closes with a powerful invitation to surrender to Jesus, affirming that God’s plan is infinitely greater than our limited understanding, and that His love and provision are available to all who come to Him.
Prayer is not a transaction but a lifestyle of asking, seeking, and knocking.
True faith involves surrendering our desires to God’s greater plan, even when His answer isn’t what we expect.
Seeking God with all your heart leads to His revelation and transformation.
Knocking requires courage to step into the unknown, trusting God’s promise even without full clarity.
God’s answer to our prayers is always for our good and His glory, not just our comfort.

The Meaning of Palm Sunday
“It's the same exact group days later that are also yelling crucify, crucify. crucify to the same man that they were just celebrating. And therein lies how fickle the human heart actually is.”
The Threefold Prayer Life: Ask
“When we ask, we're expressing and allowing our desires and putting them out in the open to go, does this line up with your will?”
The Threefold Prayer Life: Seek
“Seeking is not about affirming what you already believe but rather submitting your opinions... to him and going God what is it that you say for my life?”
The Threefold Prayer Life: Knock
“Knocking is the precursor to walking through the door, and when you walk up to a door, you can't see what's on the other side, and therein lies the idea of faith.”
