It’s Palm Sunday — the beginning of Holy Week. The same crowd that once cheered “Hosanna!” would soon fall silent, distracted by fear, doubt, and noise.
Sound familiar? Life pulls at us too — notifications, responsibilities, worries. Even with the best intentions, it’s easy to lose focus.
“So, my dear Christian friends, companions in following this call to the heights, take a good hard look at Jesus. He’s the centerpiece of everything we believe, faithful in everything God gave him to do.”
Jesus Is the Centerpiece
As believers, we’re called to something higher. We’re called to live with purpose, faithfulness, and intention — keeping Jesus at the center of it all. Not off to the side. Not an afterthought. Jesus is the centerpiece, the cornerstone, our foundation in all we believe, say, and do.
This week, as we remember His journey to the cross, let’s pause and look long and hard at how Jesus lived, how He loved, and how He stayed faithful. Let’s refocus. Let’s pursue the high calling of Him being the foundation of all we believe and do, and let’s give our very best to Him.

Taking It Into Your Week
- Read through Holy Week day by day this week rather than jumping straight to Sunday.
- Name the noise that pulled your focus this past week. Be specific. Vague answers do not get fixed.
- Ask whether Jesus is the centerpiece of your week or a line item in it.
