Episode Make Palm Sunday More Meaningful This Year | Easter Is A Season with Lani Hilton | E2 Cover

Make Palm Sunday More Meaningful This Year | Easter Is A Season with Lani Hilton | E2

How do we move from simply "attending" church to truly worshiping? Discover the transformative power of praise as we kick off Holy Week by exploring the deep symbolism and history of Palm Sunday. In this episode of the "Easter is a Season" series, Lani Hilton shares why the Savior is inviting us into a "new spiritual quest." This video breaks down the powerful symbols of the Triumphal Entry and how they can change your Easter experience: The Rock Chorus: Why Jesus said the stones would cry out if we remained silent, and how we can "join the rocks" in our worship today. The Donkey: The profound humility of a King who enters not on a warhorse, but on a beast of burden, fulfilling the prophecy of Zechariah. The Palm Branches: Understanding palms as ancient symbols of victory, deliverance, and the "joyful expectations" of the Lord’s return. The Community: Why Palm Sunday was a public "commotion" and how gathering to testify changes our perspective. We explore a powerful lesson from a young man in Uganda named Dennis, who discovered that praising God is the key to lasting joy, even in the most difficult circumstances. As Elder Patrick Kearon taught, to worship is to "intentionally praise and adore our God in a way that transforms us." As President Russell M. Nelson has invited us, let us make this week truly holy by remembering that we are graven on the palms of His hands (Isaiah 49:16). Whether you are making a "rock chorus" craft with your children or seeking a more earnest prayer life, this video will help you recognize the Savior as your King and Deliverer. - - - - - - - - - - 0:00 A Lesson on Praise from Uganda 1:55 "Pay Attention to Dennis" 3:30 Worship vs. Attendance: Elder Kearon’s Insight 4:50 The "Rock Chorus" (Luke 19:40) 6:15 Family Activity: The Rock Chorus Craft 7:45 The Symbolism of the Donkey and Sacrifice 10:10 Palm Branches: Joy, Deliverance, and Triumph 11:55 The Great Multitude: Why Community Matters 13:15 President Nelson’s Holy Week Invitation 15:00 "Who Is This?" – Our Personal Testimony This video features Lani Hilton and is a production of Scripture Central.

Episode Unpacking the Story of Abraham and Isaac Cover

Unpacking the Story of Abraham and Isaac

Most people read the story of Abraham and Isaac as a troubling test of obedience—but the biblical account reveals something far deeper. Why would God ask Abraham to sacrifice the very son through whom the covenant promises were to be fulfilled? Learn what this powerful test means for believers today, and how the “binding of Isaac” foreshadows the greatest sacrifice ever made. - - - - - - - - - - If you benefited from this production and would like to offer a contribution, please visit our sponsor, Scripture Central, to make a donation.
