This is the last sermon in the Radical Discipleship series, where we embark on a journey to discern what it truly means to live a life of radical obedience and unwavering devotion to our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ. This particular episode is dedicated to a deep dive into the topic of radical revolution and its connection to the solemn occasion of Palm Sunday.
Our sermon is founded on John 12:1-28, a passage that immerses us in the radical teachings of Jesus and urges us to critically re-evaluate our desires and perspectives. Through the story of Mary, who anointed the feet of Jesus with costly perfume, and the reactions of the disciples in attendance, we are presented with a vivid illustration of the revolutionary nature of Christ's teachings.
Furthermore, we shall explore the profound significance of Palm Sunday, a day commemorating Jesus' triumphant entry into Jerusalem and symbolizing the radical nature of his mission on earth. By reflecting on these themes, we are compelled to scrutinize our own desires and to seek alignment with God's divine purposes for our lives.
As we meditate on these powerful teachings, we must question ourselves: what are our deepest desires, and how do they influence what we perceive?
We warmly invite you to join us for this compelling and thought-provoking sermon, as we explore the depths of what it means to be a radical disciple of Jesus Christ.

The Village Church’s sermon podcast is more than just a weekly message. It is an invitation into the great and ongoing story of God’s work in the world. Pastors Eric, Mark, Susan, Daniel, and other leaders open the Scriptures not as a collection of abstract ideas but as the living, breathing witness to God’s kingdom breaking into our midst. Each episode is a call—not merely to listen, but to take part, to step forward into the life of faith with renewed vision and purpose.
Week by week, the pastors and leaders explore the deep rhythms of Christian discipleship—prayer, fasting, generosity—not as isolated duties but as part of a larger, richer, and more beautiful whole. They unpack these ancient practices in light of Jesus himself, the one in whom heaven and earth have come together. But they also turn their attention to the realities of everyday life—relationships, finances, the struggles and joys of being human—demonstrating how the gospel is not merely about what we believe but about how we live as God's renewed people in the present age.
