Join us for Episode 4177 of Day1 with guest preacher Dr. Diana Butler Bass, renowned author and scholar based at Duke University. In her Palm Sunday sermon, “Hosanna, Not Alleluia,” based on Luke 19:28-40, Dr. Bass explores the true meaning of “hosanna” as a cry for liberation—not mere praise. She contrasts Jesus’ peaceful procession with Rome’s imperial power, inviting us to see Holy Week through anti-imperial, hope-filled eyes. Tune in for this timely message of honesty, courage, and faith in a world still crying, “Save us now.”
