Silence The Stones

Mar 29, 2026    Chad Wilson

This powerful exploration of Palm Sunday challenges us to reconsider what worship truly means in our daily lives. Drawing from Luke 19:28-40, we encounter Jesus's declaration that if the people remain silent, even the stones will cry out in worship. This isn't just poetic language it's a profound truth about the nature of God's glory. We're invited to expand our understanding of worship beyond Sunday morning music to encompass every aspect of our existence. The sermon traces an incredible arc from Genesis 4, where Abel's blood cried out from the ground after Cain's murder, to the triumphant entry where creation rejoices at the redeeming blood of the Savior. This contrast reveals something stunning: God is so good that He cannot help but be worshiped. Whether we choose to participate or not, His glory will be proclaimed. The question becomes deeply personal: where in our hearts are we silent? What areas of our lives: our finances, our Friday nights, our workplaces, our homes, remain unsubmitted to the One who gave everything for us? We're reminded that worship isn't about religious performance but about heart posture, about serving God in every moment and recognizing that even mundane tasks like doing dishes or showing up on time can become acts of worship when done for His glory.
