    The Prayer Of Gethsemane Series

    Contributed by Chris Anderson on Mar 10, 2023

     | 4,124 views

    Jesus clearly knew God’s will, and yet he had intense angst and the deep feeling of despair that came from actually obeying God’s will. This sermon is intended to equip you for those moments where DOING God’s will, is really really hard.

    If you’ve been around Christian circles for any length of time, there is a considerable amount of frustration in trying to determine God’s will. For some, it’s because we love the Lord and want to please him, so we want to make sure we’re making right choices that would honor him. But for others, ...read more

    Standing By

     | 1,041 views

    Can you stand by, doing nothing, when someone needs only your presence, not your action or your words or even your understnding?

    One of the hardest things in the world to do is - to do nothing. Jesus asked his three closest friends, disciples Peter, James and John, to do just that. Just to stay awake with him. Could you do that? With nothing to busy your hands with, no task to accomplish, nothing to read or plan or analyze ...read more

    On Easter, we always talk about the Garden tomb. But there are three other gardens in Scripture, and all four of them are important in the Great Big Story of God's redemption.

    Preparing For Easter: An Outline For A Message From The Song, "Where He Leads Me”

    Contributed by Jonathan Spurlock on Apr 22, 2023
     | 900 views

    Great hymns can be a source of inspiration for sermons. The song, "Where He Leads Me", is appropriate not only as an invitation song but also as a guide through the Easter season. To the best of my knowledge, the song is in the public domain and has no current copyright.

    Introduction: The song, “Where He Leads Me”, is often sung as an invitation song. Take a closer look at the lyrics, though, and every verse could be an illustration or picture of the Easter season! Here are the verses for “Where He Leads Me” with outline material to follow: 1 I can hear my Savior ...read more

    There is three times Jesus went further into the Garden of Gethsemane until He received the Father’s perspective, guidance, strength, and peace. And if we want the same, we need to go further in with Jesus. We’ll also look at the two types of Christians this story reveals.
