In this message, NextGen Pastor Ben Lakin explores the deeper meaning behind Jesus’ triumphal entry and what it reveals about the kind of King He truly is—bold in identity yet humble in approach, determined to go to the cross for the people He loves. The story confronts a personal question for every one of us: Who is sitting on the throne of your life?
About
Let’s be real—life isn’t filtered. We all wrestle with things we wish we didn’t. Thoughts we can’t shake. Habits we can’t kick. Emotions that get the best of us. In this five-week series, we’re naming the struggles most of us carry in silence—and we’re looking to Jesus for something better than quick fixes or fake smiles. If you’ve ever felt stuck, ashamed, or just worn out, this series is for you. The struggle is real… but hope is too.

The Waiting Room
Life is full of waiting rooms.
In this message, we walk through one of the most powerful stories in the Gospel of John and discover a truth we desperately need in our own waiting seasons: God is always right on time. His timing may not be our timing, and the right time is not always right now, but His silence does not mean His absence. Even in grief, disappointment, and unanswered prayer, Jesus is still working.
