    This event in Jesus’ life (Garden of Gethsemene)illustrates the process we should use in order to overcome temptation to sin and choose to do the will of God.

    “Where the Victory is Won” Matthew 26:36-56 INTRODUCTION An event in the life of Jesus illustrates for us that victory over sin day by day is not so much accomplished in the moment of action itself, but in the silent moments of inner turmoil and wrestling that occurs prior to the event.

    He Went A Little Farther

    We find as Jesus went to Gethsemane, Gabbatha, Galgotha, and the Grave, that he conquered every obstacle that was set before him, just as we must.

    When we think of Calvary, it speaks of sins forgiven, but in order for those sins to be forgiven there had to be someone to pay the price. It speaks of Peace with God, but before we can experience Peace there must be Victory. It speaks of Eternal Life, but before we can have eternal life, the ...read more

    A series of sermons based on Richard Foster’s book "Celebration of Discipline." A top 10 book for any Christian!

    CELEBRATION OF DISCIPLINE: SOLITUDE MATTHEW 26:36-46 INTRODUCTION There is great value in being in solitude. I hope that I can convince you of this today.

    The Power Of Shared Suffering

     | 6,432 views

    Because Jesus understands our suffering, we do not suffer alone.

    INTRODUCTION If I were writing the Bible, I probably would have left this passage out. After all, we have here not the image of the powerful Messiah that I would like to show off, but the figure of fear and frailty. For centuries we have recognized that Jesus was all God and all man, but here it ...read more

    The persecuted church and the crucified Christ demands a response with our lives.

    "WAKE UP" Matthew 26: 36-46 Pastor Dave Campbell Take a walk with me to the edge of the Garden of Gesthemane, but you will need to remove your shoes because we are treading on holy ground.

    What did Jesus really see in the cup of his Father’s will while praying at Gethsemane?

    What Was In The Cup? Several years ago I had an uncle that was in the hospital preparing for open heart surgery. I went into his hospital room early on the morning of surgery and we talked a little about the surgery and I asked him if he was scared. He responded quickly with, "No!" He told me ...read more

    Crisis: Dangerous Opportunity

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Apr 14, 2001
    based on 39 ratings
     | 5,264 views

    Jesus precipitated a crisis for others around Him: for Judas, for the disciples, for Peter. Their reactions are like ours -- confused -- but Jesus knows who He is in the midst of the crisis.

    I’m sure that you have heard many times now that the Chinese character that is usually translated by the English word “crisis” is actually made up of two components – one character that means “dangerous” and the other that means “opportunity.” Put “dangerous” and “opportunity” together, and you ...read more

    Passion Week Act 5 Praying After the Last Supper, Jesus and 11 disciples left the Upper Room and headed to the Garden of Gethsemane. On the way, Jesus told them that they would abandon him, and Peter would even deny Jesus three times. Read Matthew 26:36-46. We have a vivid picture in this ...read more

    O my Father, if this cup may not pass away from me, except I drink it, Thy will be done.

    At the last Midnight Oil meeting, we watched Rob Bell as he spoke about a trip he took around the lake with his son. As they walked around the lake, a storm came up, and it started raining and storming. His son started screaming, so he started trying to comfort him. "It’s alright, buddy..." ...read more

    This sermon got rather long, but I tried to show what Peter’s cowardice did to him and how Jesus dealt with it in a wonderful way. If you’ve got some time give it a perusal.

    March 2, 2005 Matthew 26:31-35, 69-67, John 21:15-19, When they had finished eating, Jesus said to Simon Peter, “Simon son of John, do you truly love me more than these?” “Yes, Lord,” he said, “you know that I love you.” Jesus said, “Feed my lambs.” Again Jesus said, “Simon son of John, do ...read more
