    In The Garden Of Surrender: Jesus' Despair And His Acceptance Of God's Will

    Contributed by Ronald Moore on Sep 11, 2024
     | 636 views

    In this moment, we see a side of Jesus that resonates with all of us—the side that feels pain, fear, and even the desire for a different path. Yet, in this same moment, we also see the ultimate example of surrender and faith as Jesus submits to His Father’s will.

    Brothers and sisters in Christ, today we gather to reflect on one of the most poignant and human moments in the life of our Savior: His time of despair in the Garden of Gethsemane. In this moment, we see a side of Jesus that resonates with all of us—the side that feels pain, fear, and even the ...read more

    Awake In Gethsemane

     | 76 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

    This morning, we encountered the most notorious hypocrite in scripture. Judas Iscariot. The name Judas itself has become a kind of curse word for someone you can't trust.

    Matthew 26:46-50 (GW) 46 Get up! Let's go! The one who is betraying me is near.” 47 Just then, while Jesus was still speaking, Judas, one of the twelve apostles, arrived. A large crowd carrying swords and clubs was with him. They were from the chief priests and leaders of the people. 48 ...read more

    Crisis: Dangerous Opportunity

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Apr 14, 2001
    based on 39 ratings
     | 5,347 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

    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

    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.

    There are no longer any standards. Anything goes; everything is acceptable. God, however, doesn’t see it that way and He certainly doesn’t take sin lightly and neither should we.
