Agony In Gethsemane Series

Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Oct 31, 2018

It is hard for us to comprehend the dual nature of Christ - being fully God and fully man. As He endured the agonies of Gethsemane, His humanity cried out regarding the physical suffering, while His deity cried out regarding the sin and separation.

Agony in Gethsemane Mark 14: 32-42 As we continue to follow Jesus on this faithful night, His impending betrayal and crucifixion are drawing closer with each passing moment. Supper had ended, and along with the eleven, Jesus made His way from Jerusalem toward the Garden of Gethsemane. As they ...read more

Striking The Shepherd

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on May 5, 2021

The devil worked through believers to see Jesus betrayed and crucified. He is working today to discredit God's shepherds. When conflict arises, people all too often deny their leader; and this is the point at which he is led away to be crucified!

In Job 2:7, we read, “So Satan went out from the presence of the LORD, and struck Job with painful boils from the sole of his foot to the crown of his head.” I think most of us realize that Satan can attack people physically by robbing them of their health; however, the surprising revelation is ...read more

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Jul 19, 2021

Chapters 14-15 of Mark's Gospel gives us an account of the final hours in Jesus' life as he faced hostility, mockery, torment, and the agony that would be placed upon Him as He stayed on the cross for the sake of our sins.

It was not long after the Lord Jesus presented His prophetic discourse on the Mount of Olives that the drama of the crucifixion began to fall into place. At what is referred to as the "Last Supper", He told His disciples that the bread and wine they had consumed was a symbol of His ...read more

Watch Out

Contributed by Dr. Abraham Obadare on Dec 23, 2020

We must be careful for the spirit of selfishness and betrayal, according to the teachings in Mark 14

Chief Priests & Scribes (copiers of royal and sacred manuscripts) sought to kill Jesus (14:1-2) • From the sense of Mark 14:53 & Matt. 26:3-4 where both chief priests and high priests are mentioned in the same verse, one could understand that the terms are not used interchangeably. High ...read more

Contributed by Dr. Craig Nelson on Jun 25, 2022

Throughout history, there have been several explanations given regarding why Jesus asked God, the Father, to remove the cup from Him.

Seven Sundays To Easter: In The Garden Of Gethsemane Series

Contributed by Jonathan Spurlock on Mar 11, 2021

Jesus and the Eleven Disciples left the upper room and walked over to the Garden of Gethsemane. There Jesus prayed earnestly to the Father. Even though the disciples had come along with Him, our Lord was probably never so alone as He was at this time.

Introduction: Jesus and the eleven disciples finished their time in the Upper Room. Judas Iscariot had left them so he could betray Jesus to the chief priests and others. He missed out on the truths which our Lord shared with the others in John 14-16, and the Lord’s beautiful beyond words in John ...read more

Remember The Rooster

Contributed by Neal Gracey on Mar 19, 2016

Sooner or later the cock is going to crow, and if it's like the rooster across the way from my house, it could be...at any time! Like Peter, we are sinners in need of a Savior. But, like Peter, we have a hint that the rooster is going to crow, eventually, no matter what.

Happy "Crowing" Saturday, Everyone! There is a rooster that lives across the road into the valley below on my neighbors farm. That crazy bird will cock-a-doodle-do anytime of the day. What a crazy bird! He reminds me of the lesson this week. This week's Sunday School lesson is from Mark 14. The ...read more

Jesus The Struggler Series

Contributed by Ed Vasicek on Mar 21, 2016

Sometimes we so emphasize that Jesus is the Son of God (fully divine) that we forget He is also the Son of Man (fully human). At Gethsemane, we see Jesus’ human nature struggling with the perfect will of God — for our sakes!

Jesus the Struggler (Mark 14:32-42) 1. We all do goofy things. “Today, I took a picture of the combination to my new lock so I would always have it on my phone if I ever forgot it. I put my phone in my gym locker, locked it with the new lock, then promptly forgot the combination.” 2. ...read more

Keep Calm And... Series

Contributed by James Jackson on Aug 11, 2020

On the most chaotic, stress-filled day of His life, Jesus modeled calm and stayed in control. Here are four things we can learn from Jesus about keeping calm.

A few years ago, I started noticing this poster everywhere: Keep Calm and Carry On. It was on social media. T-Shirts. Coffee mugs. And it wasn’t long after that that you started seeing all the variations to it: [advance each one] • Keep calm and wash your hands (that one has just been in the ...read more
