On this Palm Sunday, Rev. Terence Gray leads the church through Mark 12:1–12, reflecting on Jesus’ parable of the vineyard and the call to faithful stewardship under God’s authority. Preached in the shadow of grief following the death of longtime senior pastor Rev. Dr. Scott McKee earlier in the week, this message gently connects the biblical theme of entrusted responsibility with a life faithfully lived. Pastor Terence reminds the congregation that everything we hold—our roles, relationships, and calling—ultimately belongs to God, and one day the keys are returned. As Jesus is revealed as the rejected cornerstone who now holds all things together, the church is invited to grieve with hope, remain anchored in Christ, and trust that God is still present and at work even when plans change and hearts are heavy. This sermon offers comfort, clarity, and a quiet call to faithfulness in a season of loss, encouraging God’s people not to miss His presence as they walk together through Holy Week.
