As Palm Sunday marks the beginning of Passion Week, Jeff Maes delivers a prophetic and deeply personal message titled “Walking to the Cross.” With decades of ministry, outreach, and global evangelism under his belt, Jeff shares from both scripture and his own testimony to illuminate what it truly means to carry the heart of Christ into the city.
Walking through the Gospel of Luke, Jeff highlights the journey Jesus took from Galilee to Jerusalem—not just as a historical event, but as a roadmap for every believer called to impact their community. With clarity and conviction, he draws out four key characteristics Jesus modeled on His way to the cross: humility, determination, compassion, and kingdom authority.
This message is not just a reflection; it’s a rallying cry. Jeff shares stories from the streets of Denver, his years in evangelism, and the heartbreaks and breakthroughs that shaped his faith. He invites us all to be the “donkeys” that carry Jesus into our cities, empowered not by titles or platforms, but by brokenness, identity in Christ, and a burden for the lost.
Whether you’re a seasoned leader or just stepping into your calling, this episode will challenge and inspire you to walk with Jesus—not just toward the cross, but into the harvest field of your city.
Main takeaway: Jesus entered Jerusalem with humility, compassion, and authority—and He’s calling us to do the same.
