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.
