The Nevertheless Of His Surrendering Series

To understand the meaning of the phrase ‘Watch and Pray’, let us look at Matthew 26:36-46 where Jesus used this phrase. In the context of this scripture, in this situation where Jesus instructed His disciples to ‘Watch and Pray’, what He meant was: • Stay awake and pray with me. • Don’t sleep, be ...read more

A Fountain Can Not Produce Bitter And Sweet Water.

Contributed by James Linders on Jul 7, 2015

We as children of God and disciples of Jesus Christ, have a certain behavioural code by which we live. To DENY our Lord would be a GROSS violation of THIS code. UNLIKE Peter and Judas, we have the Holy Spirit to guide and teach us in ALL truth.

Matthew 26:74 Peter began to curse and swear: "I don't KNOW that man!" Matthew 26:14-16 Then one of the Twelve—the one called Judas Iscariot—went to the chief priests and asked, “What are you willing to give me if I deliver him over to you?” So they counted out for him ...read more

The Victory In Jesus Part 1: Gethsemane Series

Contributed by Perry Greene on Apr 8, 2019

Over the years I have paid little attention to Gethsemane other than it was where Jesus prayed before his arrest. However, Gethsemane is where the spiritual victory was won. If it had not been for what happened in Gethsemane, there might not have been a crucifixion or a resurrection.

1. Survey: 85% of Americans say they pray – some a lot, some little. In fact, 20% of self-proclaimed atheists and agnostics claim to pray. There is a source of strength in prayer. We want to take a look at the key place of prayer for Jesus, Gethsemane. 2. An Overview to Gethsemane a. Jesus and ...read more

Praying For God’s Will – Submitting To God’s Way

Contributed by Esther Collins on May 11, 2022

Often we pray for God's will, and hope things will work out the way we want them to. But in reality it's in submitting to His will, and willingly going His way can we experience God's perfect blessings.

When life is hard, and things don’t go as we planned we get discouraged. In times like these we go to God in prayer. As we pray fervently we hope that God will answer us the way we want Him to. We pray for God’s will to be done, and when we find that God’s will is not as we planned or desired, we ...read more

The Dark Night Of The Soul Series

Contributed by Matthew Kratz on Apr 1, 2022

In this “Dark Night of the Soul” we see the relationship between prayer and action through three things: Through 1) His Sorrow Matthew 26:36–38), 2) His Supplication (Matthew 26:39–45a), and 3) His Strength (Matthew 26:45b-46).

The Prayer Of Gethsemane Series

Contributed by Chris Anderson on Mar 10, 2023

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

Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Mar 19, 2023

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
