    Awake In Gethsemane

    Contributed by David Dunn on Jan 13, 2026
     | 45 views

    Jesus’ agony in Gethsemane reveals the cost of salvation and shows that Easter hope rests on His obedience, not ours.

    Every Easter weekend, we gather to celebrate life. We sing resurrection songs. We dress a little brighter. We speak words like hope, victory, and new beginnings. And rightly so — Easter is the great declaration that death does not get the final word. Easter did not begin in a garden filled with ...read more

    Four nails forever changed how God ministers to a lost and dying world. As Jesus’ earthly ministry closed, each nail driven into the cross beckons us to take up where He left off.

On that day, no one ever loved so much, sacrificed more, or accomplished such a great task. What happened on a hill outside the city of Jerusalem forever changed ...read more

    Myths are powerful. But should we use them?

    Not a Cunningly Devised Fable 2 Peter 1:16-21 Myths and legends can be powerful teachers of morality. This is why they have been used from time immemorial.

    The curse of sin brought death but Jesus took our curse on the cross. We are redeemed and all the great promises of Abraham are given to us by faith. This is a lovely passage today, and it could be an Easter message as well. Christ died for our sins becoming the curse for us. Easter.

    Both Peter and Paul raise the same question: what should we be doing when … not ‘if’ but ‘when’ … the Lord appears? How do you want Him to find you? Vigilant? Full of hope and expectation? Prepared? Ready to greet Him? Or scoffing? Asleep?
