Podcasts about Gethsemane

Little did Peter, James, and John know that when they saw the glory of Christ in His transfiguration, He was preparing them to witness His shame in the Garden of Gethsemane. Today, Sinclair Ferguson makes a connection between these two moments.

Reading Luke 22:39-46 where Jesus and the disciples go to the Garden of Gethsemane to pray, and Jesus exhorts them to pray that they may not fall into temptation. Visit wwutt.com for all our videos!

“One day Jesus told his disciples a story to show that they should always pray and never give up.” (Luke 18:1 NLT) We’ve talked about the how and when of prayer, but what about the why? Why should we pray? The short answer is that Jesus told us to. In Luke 18:1, He shows His followers that “they should always pray and never give up” (NLT). Is there any better reason than that? Doctors recommend certain things for our health. We may not always understand why they’re beneficial—only that they are. The same thing goes for Jesus’ instruction to pray. We may not know why or how, but good things happen when we pray. It’s important to note, too, that Jesus wasn’t a do-as-I-say-and-not-as-I-do type of guy. Though He was God in human form, He maintained a very active prayer life. Before He fed thousands of people with five loaves of bread and two fish, “Jesus took the loaves, gave thanks to God, and distributed them to the people” (John 6:11 NLT). Matthew 19:13 says, “One day some parents brought their children to Jesus so he could lay his hands on them and pray for them” (NLT). Before He raised Lazarus from the dead, “Jesus looked up to heaven and said, ‘Father, thank you for hearing me. You always hear me, but I said it out loud for the sake of all these people standing here, so that they will believe you sent me’” (John 11:41–42 NLT). When His arrest was at hand, Jesus retreated to the Garden of Gethsemane. “He walked away, about a stone’s throw, and knelt down and prayed, ‘Father, if you are willing, please take this cup of suffering away from me. Yet I want your will to be done, not mine’” (Luke 22:41–42 NLT). On the cross, Jesus prayed, “Father, forgive them, for they don’t know what they are doing” (Luke 23:34 NLT); “My God, my God, why have you abandoned me?” (Matthew 27:46 NLT); and “Father, I entrust my spirit into your hands!” (Luke 23:46 NLT). Luke 5:16 says, “But Jesus often withdrew to the wilderness for prayer” (NLT). He was refreshed and reenergized by the time He spent in fellowship and conversation with God. If Jesus felt the need to pray, we should, too. We could point out that praying is not a difficult task. Jesus said, “For my yoke is easy to bear, and the burden I give you is light” (Matthew 11:30 NLT). We could point out that Jesus gave us the instructions we need to establish and maintain an active, vital prayer life when He taught His disciples to pray in Luke 11:1–13. We could point out that He modeled prayer for us throughout the Gospels. But all we need to know is that Jesus instructed us to pray. “Jesus replied, ‘All who love me will do what I say. My Father will love them, and we will come and make our home with each of them. Anyone who doesn’t love me will not obey me. And remember, my words are not my own. What I am telling you is from the Father who sent me’” (John 14:23–24 NLT). That’s all the reason we need to pray. Reflection question: When do you feel the need to pray?

The very thing you've been praying for may require you to become the answer. In this transformative message, Sarah Jakes Roberts reminds us that we are often the answers to our own prayers, and God has always had us in His plan. Drawing from Matthew 26:37-46, where we find Jesus in His most relatable moment, sorrowful and uncertain in the Garden of Gethsemane, she distinguishes between God's promise and our process: “The promise depends on God; the process depends on you.” While we focus on the promise, God uses the process to transform us into the version that can carry it. This version will allow us to look more like Him. Just as God placed Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden before releasing them to have dominion over the earth, He positions us in smaller places to cultivate the character needed for greater purpose. The process God has placed you in isn't about getting what you desire; it's about becoming who He needs you to be.

MATTHEW: THE BRIGHTEST WORSHIP IN THE DARKEST HOUR is an exploration of worship as seen in the closing chapters of Matthew. It takes us through the Passion Week and shows how Jesus worshiped in His darkest hour through prayer, sacrifice, weeping, outreach, and song. Each week highlights a unique expression of worship, drawing from the narratives of the Last Supper, Gethsemane, the crucifixion, and the triumph of Christ's resurrection. This series invites us to see worship as a daily response to God's love, inspired by Jesus' example and the actions of those around Him. Join Horizon for this verse-by-verse study at the Equipping services, meeting Sundays at 8:30 and 9:45 a.m.

What would you do if silence could grant your deepest prayer? Jesus's has been arrested in the Garden of Gethsemane and the profound choice to speak the truth, even when silence could have spared Him suffering. Sermon Notes Mark 14:43 – 45 Judas betrays Jesus Mark 14:46 – 50 Jesus arrested; someone tries to stop the arrest, but Jesus intervenes, then Hiss disciples fled Mark 14:51 & 52 A young man wearing only a linen sheet flees naked Mark 14:53 Jesus taken to the High Priest and Council Mark 14:54 Peter follows at a distance Mark 14:55 – 60 During the first trial only false and inconsistent testimony is given Mark 61 & 62 Jesus thus far remains silent and if He remained so He would have to be released. So Chief Priest asks Jesus why He does not respond and if He is the Christ. Jesus responds “I am” Mark 14:63 – 66 High Priest acts as if he is mourning. The Council condemns Jesus as worthy of death due to blasphemy and begin to mistreat Him

Predigt von Ernst Prugger über Matthaus 26,36-44 am 26. Oktober 2025

Send us a textWhat if the same Word that launched light still holds your life together today? We take a clear-eyed tour through God's “resume,” tracing how Scripture presents Him as Creator, Sustainer, Sovereign, and near enough to search the heart. From Colossians 1:17 and Hebrews 1:3 to Isaiah 46 and Psalm 139, we connect the dots between galaxies that keep expanding and daily decisions that shape careers, families, and communities. The thread is simple and bold: God's powerful word upholds reality, and His wisdom still redirects human plans toward a larger purpose.We open the lens wide with the cosmos—the idea that God never told light to stop—and then zoom in to the moments that test character: being Christlike when provoked, choosing humility when success tempts pride, and trusting providence when life feels off-script. Along the way, we revisit the shock of “I am” in Gethsemane, the humbling of Nebuchadnezzar, and the steady truth that God directs the hearts of leaders like water in a channel. We tackle the tough bit too: how Scripture speaks about calamity without making God the author of evil, and how the new covenant reframes power through the mercy of Jesus.Most of all, we make prayer practical. You'll leave with five grounded principles—come to the Father through the Son, align with Scripture, ask clearly, believe as you pray, and give thanks—and three vivid case studies: Hannah's longing, Moses' intercession, and Elijah's bold faith. If God sustains atoms, He can sustain you. If He guides nations, He can guide your next step. Listen, reflect, and try the prayer framework this week. Then share what shifted for you. Subscribe, leave a review if it helped, and pass this on to someone who needs a larger view of God and a clearer way to pray.Good morning, good afternoon, wherever you are in the world - Welcome to Grapevine Ministries.

As we near the end of our series The Story, It's time to take a look at what happened in the Garden of Gethsemane. Gethsemane is a garden at the foot of the Mount of Olives in Jerusalem. In this message Pastor Jeff is looking at what we can learn from Jesus' final hours before his crucifixion.Support the show: https://www.oneandall.church/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It was that final terrible night before the cross. Jesus has been agonizing in prayer at Gethsemane. Betrayed by one of his own, he is taken for a fake trial and beaten. The evening ends with outright denial by his closest friend. But what happens next is something you've probably never thought about.

f Asa's final years, which are characterised by some serious failures to rely on Yahweh. Firstly, when Baasha king of Israel began acting aggressively to Judah, he hired the Syrians to attack the northern kingdom. He had failed to heed that the LORD had granted victory against the Ethiopian horde. The great lesson that Hanani the seer told Asa was, "The eyes of Yahweh run to and fro throughput the whole earth, to give strong support to those whose heart is blameless toward Him" (verse 9 ESV). From now on he would have wars. He became enraged with the prophet and placed him in stocks in prison. His anger was also vented against others of God's people. The irony of Asa, whose name means 'physician', is that when he became diseased in his feet, Asa did not seek healing from the great Physician, but died in suffering. Nonetheless, Judah were saddened by the death of the great reformer. Chapter 17 says Judah were blessed when Asa's son, Jehoshaphat, ascended the throne and he, too, walked "in the early ways of David his father". The kingdom was established by Jehoshaphat and the surrounding lands made no war against him, but paid him tribute. Ezekiel 48 dealt with the allotments to the tribes both north and south of the temple precinct and the allocation of its territory. Note that the northern border of the territory of the kingdom of God under the reconstituted and restored Israel is the Euphrates river; the southern border is the Nile; the western border is the Mediterranean Sea; and the eastern border the Gulf of Arabia - the entire land through which Abraham walked upon and was promised (see also Psalm 72). The city that will be constructed to service the House of Prayer for all nations will be of a square construction and have a perimeter of about 64.5 kilometres and will be called Yahweh Shammah - or Yahweh is there. John 17 outlines Jesus' wonderful prayer for unity with himself and his Father. Having struggled to subject his will to the Father in Gethsemane and being strengthened by an angel to do that, the victory had been won, and all that remained were the trials, scourging and crucifixion which our Master would endure. So, the prayer began with an acknowledgment of the coming glory - verse 4 the glory that the Father had planned for the Son before creation. Then followed a plea for men to know the Father and the servant Son sent into the world to reveal the Father's character; and in that "knowing" would come life eternal. The prayer was to preserve the believers in that truth and so save them. None would be lost save Judas, the 'son of destruction'. Eventually everyone sanctified by the truth would be united with the Father in the same way His Son was. John chapter 18 records the betrayal and arrest of the Lord in the garden ofGethsemane. Judas arrived with a heavily armed contingent of temple thugs, who when they asked the Lord, who they sought, they fell to the ground illustrating that where he was they could not come (John 7:36). He gave himself voluntarily into their hands after miraculously restoring the severed ear of Malchus- the high priest's servant and rebuking Peter who had mistakenly tried to protect his Lord. Jesus faced Annas and Caiaphas in trial. Peter's first denial followed. Then Jesus is placed under oath by the high priest, who contrary to the law commanded our Master to be struck and was rightly rebuked by Jesus. Peter's second denial followed. The rulers attempted to force from Pilate, the Roman Governor, during the night, the death sentence - another illegality - on the unproven charge of treason. Pilate questioned Jesus and it was clear that our Lord had total mastery of the situation and it was Pontius Pilate who quailed in the presence of the Son of God. Jesus bore witness to the Truth that he came into the world to be "King of the Jews" (see 1 Timothy 6 verses 12-16). Pilate declared him to be innocent of the charge; but the rulers clamoured for his death and the acquittal of Barabbas.

A Few Minutes In The Gospel Of Mark  Part 6:  There He Prayed  -  English only.  We all recall the Passover night that Messiah spent in prayer in the Garden of Gethsemane. Yet Mark also speaks of other nights that Yeshua spent in prayer.  Is there a quiet message for us in these passages?  This is a rebroadcast of a podcast originally recorded September 13, 2022. 

Recognizing the Reality of Spiritual WarfareIn reflecting on spiritual warfare, it's tempting to either overemphasize or downplay Satan's influence. While some traditions see every life event as a battle against demonic forces, there's a risk of overlooking the profound impact of personal sin, which can align us with the devil's schemes. Satan seeks to destroy not just individuals but God's very credibility. If he could snatch even one soul from Christ's hand, then he would expose God as a liar. This sobering reality stirs a call to vigilance—not through human strength, but by recognizing the unseen battle. Our fleshly instinct to “buck up” and rely on personal fortitude misses the deeper truth: true victory lies in dependence on Christ, who faced and overcame the ultimate spiritual battle for us.The Ease of Faith and the Devil's DeceptionLiving in a land of relative ease, where faith requires little sacrifice, can dull our appreciation for Christianity's beauty. Unlike those in persecuted regions, where believers face life-threatening risks, our daily struggles often revolve around mundane tasks like getting to church on time. This comfort can blind us to Satan's work, as Baudelaire warned: the devil's greatest wile is convincing the world he doesn't exist. Without a perceived threat, we neglect spiritual defenses. Yet, Christ calls us to a different weapon, which is prayer over the sword. In the face of Satan's relentless efforts to undermine God's integrity, we're urged to turn to prayer, trusting not in our own strength but in the One who has already overcome.Christ's Anguish and Our Call to PrayerIn the Garden of Gethsemane, we witness Christ's intense anguish, sweating drops like gushing blood as He faced the weight of enduring hell's wrath for us. Innocent, yet burdened, He was ministered to by an angel, echoing God's care for Elijah. Meanwhile, the disciples succumbed to grief, sleeping instead of praying, and resorted to swords, misunderstanding the spiritual battle's nature. Christ's rebuke and healing of the servant's ear reveal that spiritual warfare isn't fought with fleshly weapons. Judas's betrayal with a kiss and the crowd's shortsighted rejection of Christ, despite His miracles, which betray his prophetic credibility, highlight human failure to align with God's truth. Yet, Christ's faithfulness calls us to pray, seeking strength to resist temptation and stand firm in His victory.Victory Through Humility and Trust in ChristOur response to Satan's schemes must be rooted in humility and prayer, not self-reliance. Like Hezekiah or the psalmist in Psalm 139, we're called to seek God's conviction and guidance, trusting His Spirit to conform us to His will. Satan prowls, seeking to disrupt our contentment in Christ, but the cross and resurrection assure us of victory. Christ's resurrection guarantees an indestructible kingdom, and through prayer, we participate in His triumph. Let us live as grateful conquerors, not fearing Satan's wiles but resting in the Redeemer's power, praying for wisdom to honor Him and confidence that His promises will never fail.

Are You a Part of What God Is Doing in Our Country Today? Do You Seek God's Presence in Your Life? MESSAGE SUMMARY: Can you tell what God is up to in the World, in our time, in our church, and in America? Are you a part of what God is doing in the world today, or are you just reacting to what God is doing, thereby, creating conflict and division? Psalms 105 reminds you of God's power in the world if you do seek His presence in your life: “Seek the Lord and his strength; seek his presence continually! Remember the wondrous works that he has done, his miracles, and the judgments he uttered.". On the other hand, Paul, in 1 Thessalonians 1:9, warns you of the implications for not including the presence of Jesus in your worldly considerations: “They will suffer the punishment of eternal destruction, away from the presence of the Lord and from the glory of his might.”. While the Lord is leading, and directing, it seems that we are wrapped up in our agenda and our way of doing things; therefore, we miss God's presence; and we miss the Holy Spirit in our lives.    TODAY'S PRAYER: Lord, everything in me resists following you into the garden of Gethsemane to fall on my face to the ground before you. Grant me the courage to follow you all the way to the cross, whatever that might mean for my life. And then, by your grace, lead me to resurrection life and power. In Jesus' name, amen.   Scazzero, Peter. Emotionally Healthy Spirituality Day by Day (p. 100). Zondervan. Kindle Edition. TODAY'S AFFIRMATION: Today, Because of who I am in Jesus Christ, I will not be driven by Hatred. Rather, I will abide in the Lord's Love. “I am the vine; you are the branches. If a man remains in Me and I in him, he will bear much fruit; apart from Me you can do nothing.” (John 15:5). SCRIPTURE REFERENCE (ESV): Matthew 5:6; Matthew 5:10; Psalms 112:1-6; Psalms 119b:13-24.

And he said to his disciples, “Sit here while I pray.” 33 And he took with him Peter and James and John, and began to be greatly distressed and troubled. 34 And he said to them, “My soul is very sorrowful, even to death. Remain here and watch.” 35 And going a little farther, he fell on the ground and prayed that, if it were possible, the hour might pass from him. 36 And he said, “Abba, Father, all things are possible for you. Remove this cup from me. Yet not what I will, but what you will.” 37 And he came and found them sleeping, and he said to Peter, “Simon, are you asleep? Could you not watch one hour? 38 Watch and pray that you may not enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.” 39 And again he went away and prayed, saying the same words. 40 And again he came and found them sleeping, for their eyes were very heavy, and they did not know what to answer him. 41 And he came the third time and said to them, “Are you still sleeping and taking your rest? It is enough; the hour has come. The Son of Man is betrayed into the hands of sinners. 42 Rise, let us be going; see, my betrayer is at hand.” __________________ 5 Core Values of SWAT 1.

In this powerful message from John 18:1–11, Pastor Steve Henry walks us through Jesus' betrayal in the Garden of Gethsemane and reveals how we can respond when betrayal comes into our own lives. Before the cross, Jesus modeled three key principles:   1. Worship — keeping our eyes fixed on God   2. Stay humble — trusting God's higher purposes   3. Face your challenge with faith — surrendering to God's will   Betrayal is painful, but in the hands of God, it becomes an opportunity to reflect Christ.  

In this Bible Story, we will learn about the agonizing heart of Jesus, his resolve to save us, and his desire to have his disciples near him in the last hour. We also see Judas again, coming with a small army to arrest Jesus. This story is inspired by Matthew 26:30-39, 52-57; Luke 22:42-51 & John 18:3-10. Go to BibleinaYear.com and learn the Bible in a Year.Today's Bible verse is Luke 22:48 from the King James Version.Episode 209: Jesus led His disciples to a garden named Gethsemane. While there he began to pray in agony over what was about to happen. He asked The Father to take away the suffering He was about to endure if at all possible. But Jesus also trusted His Father and asked that above His own The Father's will be done. Just as Jesus finished praying, Judas arrived with a small group of armed men to take Him in. After a short display of power, Jesus left willingly, while His disciples scattered.Hear the Bible come to life as Pastor Jack Graham leads you through the official BibleinaYear.com podcast.

When our Lord posed the haunting question, “When the Son of Man comes, will He find faith on the earth?”, He did not pose it as a riddle, nor merely as prophecy, but as a mirror held before our hearts. It is not faith in the abstract He seeks, as if counting theological knowledge or measuring church attendance, but the kind of faith that breathes, wrestles, and walks with God when the world goes dim.It is easy enough, is it not, to believe in the light when all is bright? A child believes the sun will rise, not because he's studied astronomy, but because it always has. But the Christian faith is tested not by the sunrise but by the silence of midnight. Will we still believe when the world mocks, when prayers go unanswered, when suffering strikes without explanation?Faith is not merely assent to a creed. Fallen angels do that, and tremble. No, the faith Christ longs to find is that defiant trust—a love-soaked loyalty—that looks full in the face of suffering and still whispers, “Jesus, I trust in you.” It is the faith of Abraham climbing Mount Moriah, of Daniel kneeling before open windows, of the Virgin Mary keeping all these things in her heart.We must not mistake familiarity for faith. There are many who have grown up going to Mass each Sunday whose hearts remain untouched by the burning presence of God.So, the question returns, echoing across centuries: Will He find faith?Let us not imagine that He is asking whether we have tidy answers or triumphant ministries. He is asking whether He will find hearts—wounded perhaps, weary certainly—but still turned toward Him. Will He find men and women who have not bowed to the golden idols of ease and spectacle, who have not traded the scandal of the cross for the applause of the world?If He finds even a mustard seed of such faith, it will be enough. For faith, in the end, is not the achievement of the strong but the desperate clinging of the weak to the One who is strong. And perhaps it is precisely in our clinging, trembling and uncertain though it may be, that Christ sees the echo of His own steadfastness in the Garden of Gethsemane. Yes, He asked the question. But it is we who must answer it with our lives. And when He comes, oh glorious terror, oh splendid hope, may He find us not with explanations, but with open hands, lifted eyes, and hearts still burning. --- Help Spread the Good News --- Father Brian's homilies are shared freely thanks to generous listeners like you.

In this exploration of Jesus' time in Gethsemane, we're invited to confront our own moments of pressure and sorrow. The message centers on Matthew 26:36-46, revealing how even Christ Himself experienced deep anguish. We learn that true prayer involves boldly asking God for what we desire, while ultimately submitting to His will. The imagery of the olive press vividly illustrates the crushing weight Jesus bore, reminding us that our own suffering can draw us closer to Him. This teaching challenges us to be honest with God about our struggles, to invite others into our pain, and to find strength in the 'nevertheless' moments of our faith. As we face our own Gethsemane experiences, we're encouraged to watch, pray, and rise with purpose, trusting in God's goodness even when His path seems difficult.

Sermon Notes Mark 14:27 & 28 Jesus tells disciples they will be scattered according to the Scriptures, but He will meet them in Galilee after He has risen Mark 14:29 Peter confident he will not fall away Mark 14:30 Jesus tells him that he will deny Him 3 times before the cock crows twice Mark 14:31 Peter and the others disciples insist they would die before betray Him Mark 14:32 – 36 Jesus and the disciples go to a garden called Gethsemane to pray. Jesus takes 3 of them with Him farther and He goes even farther to pray Mark 14:37 – 42 Jesus prays to avoid what is going to happen 3 times, asks the disciples 3 times to watch and pray, but they continue to sleep

Nikita Koloff and Robby Dillmore continue their journey through the Holy Land—sharing powerful moments from Galilee to Gethsemane. Hear how Scripture comes alive when you walk where Jesus walked.

Jesus dreaded the suffering of the cross as He prayed in the Garden of Gethsemane on the night of His arrest. He knew it would mean separation from His father and unimaginable physical and emotional pain, yet He still went through with it because He knew the results it would bring. In today's message, Pastor Ricky is going to challenge us to face suffering with that in mind. When you suffer in the name of Jesus, it will bring life to those who witness it and it's worth the temporary pain.

Send us a textWhen life falls apart and the question rises — “What are we gonna do?” — Scripture points us again and again to one powerful answer: pray. In this episode, we explore moments when God's people turned to Him in prayer — from Jehoshaphat surrounded by enemies, to Daniel in the lions' den, to Hannah in heartbreak, to the early church in crisis, and even Jesus in Gethsemane. Each story reminds us that prayer isn't our last resort; it's our first response. When we don't know what to do, we can always turn our eyes to the One who does.

This old dude is like, “Uh oh, the boat's having issues. I'll call it in.” The younger dude's like, “No, just fix it,” while flashing his gun. The young guy takes a call and says he's got it handled — all while eyeing a fancy violin. The old guy overhears and tries to call for help, but ends up getting smacked in the head.Three months later, missing person posters are going up for the old captain — put up by his daughter.Cut to Gethsemane, who's conducting a choir (and crushing it) while trying to ignore her ghost friend, Eamon. She reveals a new statue to honor a dead guy, but everyone thinks it sucks. After the show, hottie Griff goes up to tell her how great it was — and of course Inspector O'Reilly isn't far behind. Classic love triangle stuff.She's thrilled when her brother, Jackson, gets into town to visit. They sing a song and grieve the loss of their dad, who died a year ago.They head to a pub, where Jackson ends up chatting with the violin guy from the beginning. Jackson, who works at a music store, asks to take a look. The guy says he should be able to sell it and retire. Jackson asks if there are any good bands playing, and the guy says the hotel he's staying at has a piano player — that's about it. He ends up leaving his bag behind, so Jackson goes to return it. When he gets there, the lights go out, someone yells, and Jackson rushes upstairs to find the violin guy on the ground — and a hooded figure running off with the violin. Jackson tells the hotel employee to call the police, which naturally means Inspector O'Reilly.Gethsemane goes to check on her brother, and Eamon shows up saying he might be able to help. He takes her to talk to the ghost of the dead guy. He says the violin guy's name was Ray — paid cash up front but seemed off the whole time. He asks Gethsemane to get a message to his daughter, and she agrees.Inspector O'Reilly checks the security footage, and the hooded figure appears to be a woman.That same hooded figure later runs out of the dead guy's boat when Gethsemane goes to check it out.Naturally, Gethsemane is now on the case — with Eamon's help, of course. There are sketchy art dealers, teachers, and bears, oh my! (Okay, no bears. I lied.)Gethsemane and Griff grow closer and even almost kiss! Her brother figures out she has powers — and he's totally cool with it.Turns out Ray was originally going to sell the violin to a music store owner but backed out for a higher bidder. So she and the harbor master hatched a plan… and now Ray's dead. But don't worry — Gethsemane catches them!She wraps up the case, enjoys the rest of her time with her brother, and yay for love!

In today's episode we talk about how to respond to God in prayer by examining the three prayers of Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane. Jesus reveals that prayer becomes a journey to know God better and discern His will.

In Hebrews 5, the author points us to the story of Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane. There, we see the suffering Savior of the world crying out to the Father. Jesus felt abandoned, overwhelmed, and too weak to carry life's burdens. In the middle of emotional and physical pain, He still chose to obey. His obedience gives us inspiration to choose obedience when we face our own suffering, and hope that it is not in vain. This passage is an excellent reminder that with Jesus as our perfect High Priest, our suffering will not have the last word.  Key Verses: Hebrews 5:7-10

We all want to be strong. To show up when it matters and be the kind of person Jesus can count on. But what happens when your strength runs out? When your resolve cracks and your best intentions collapse? In this message from Mark 14:27–42, we look at the night Jesus' closest friends failed Him and discover the beauty of a Savior who never fails us. Strength isn't found in trying harder. It's found in trusting the One who lives in us.DISCUSSION QUESTIONS:What are some ways we, like Peter, tend to put confidence in our own strength or spiritual performance?What does it look like to let your failure become a “portal of grace” instead of a source of shame?Jesus didn't hide his distress in Gethsemane. How might honesty about your weakness actually deepen your dependence and connection with God and others?Where in your life are you living before the “but” and letting feelings or circumstances have the final word?What would it look like for us to help each other “stay awake” to live aware of His strength in us instead of running on self-effort?+ + + + +Hey, while you're here, please help Generation by clicking the 'Subscribe' button, then click on the BELL

MATTHEW: THE BRIGHTEST WORSHIP IN THE DARKEST HOUR is an exploration of worship as seen in the closing chapters of Matthew. It takes us through the Passion Week and shows how Jesus worshiped in His darkest hour through prayer, sacrifice, weeping, outreach, and song. Each week highlights a unique expression of worship, drawing from the narratives of the Last Supper, Gethsemane, the crucifixion, and the triumph of Christ's resurrection. This series invites us to see worship as a daily response to God's love, inspired by Jesus' example and the actions of those around Him.

Dave Brisbin 10.12.25 Watching a friend of twenty years wind her way through cancer treatment and now hospice care has been a master's course in radical, serial acceptance. Just yesterday, to abruptly realize that the cause of her new pain was now moot—that no one was looking for causes anymore, only the management of pain—was another level of reality to absorb. I saw it in her eyes, but just for a moment. Then an implied shrug, and the conversation continued. It's that ability to recover from the shocks of life that shows us who we are. You can call it resilience, but it's more than that. We're generally taught that spiritual maturity means moving beyond doubt, despair, anger—being untriggerable. Thank God the gospels show us Jesus wasn't all that. We see his anger in the temple, his doubt at Gethsemane, his despair on the cross. But then we see his quick recovery back to center, reconnection with his deepest identity: not my will, but yours…forgive them, they don't know what they do. Life is an oscillation between constantly changing circumstance and neurochemistry. Between pleasure and pain, triggers and recovery. We have no control over emotional onset or the events and circumstances that trigger it. And we're not responsible for what we can't control. Spiritual maturity isn't measured by a lack of triggers or negative emotion we can't control, but the speed of our recovery. Return to center. Remembrance of who we really are. And who is that? Looking in the eyes of a newborn, whose brain is still formatting like a new hard drive, there are no thoughts or concepts. But there is presence. A presence that can't be defined in words because it precedes them. It's this presence that simply accepts what it experiences, absorbs without labels or the weight of prior experience, reminds us of the vastness we've lost in adult preoccupation. We can cultivate newborn eyes through spiritual discipline, or we can wait for life to drive us into serial acceptance. Or both. The eyes of a newborn and those of a friend in hospice…they are the same. They see what we've forgotten. Death is not the tragedy. It's not remembering while we live.

Welcome to Day 2711 of Wisdom-Trek, and thank you for joining me. This is Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to Wisdom – Theology Thursday – “Not of This World” – Supernatural Wisdom-Trek Podcast Script - Day 2711 Welcome to Wisdom-Trek with Gramps! I am Guthrie Chamberlain, and we are on Day 2711 of our Trek. The Purpose of Wisdom-Trek is to create a legacy of wisdom, to seek out discernment and insights, and to boldly grow where few have chosen to grow before. Today, we continue with the 14th of 16 segments of our Theology Thursday lessons. I will read through the book "Supernatural," written by Hebrew Bible scholar, professor, and mentor Dr. Michael S. Heiser, who has since passed away. Supernatural is a condensed version of his comprehensive book, ‘The Unseen Realm.' If these readings pique your interest, I would recommend that you read ‘The Unseen Realm.' Today, we will read through chapter fourteen: “Not of This World” In Jesus' well-known prayer in the garden of Gethsemane before he was arrested for trial, he said of his followers, “They are not of the world, just as I am not of the world” (John 17:16). Believers were certainly in the world, specially tasked by God to carry the gospel to every nation (Matt. 28:19–20), but they were not of the world. This paradox—being in the world but not of it—was telegraphed to early Christians in several memorable ways… Sacred Space, Holy Ground, and God's Presence… In chapter 8 we talked about the concept of sacred space. For Old Testament Israelites, God was completely other. The space his presence occupied was set apart from all other space. That wasn't a denial that God was omnipresent—in all places at all times. Rather, it was a way of marking the territory on which he chose to meet with his people. That was one of the purposes for having the tabernacle and the temple. The concept of sacred space was not only the rationale for many of Israel's laws and rituals, but it also reinforced the idea of cosmic geography​—how the world was divided among the lesser gods and the Most High God, the God of Israel… The notion of sacred space gets brought into the New Testament in a dramatic way. All we need to ask is, “Where is the presence of God right now?” While God is everywhere, he specifically dwells within each believer. Believe it or not, you are sacred space. Paul very clearly wrote that “your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit” (1 Cor. 6:19)… The same is true of the ground where believers gather as a group. Writing to the church at Corinth, Paul told them collectively, “You are God's temple” (1 Cor. 3:16). He told the Ephesian believers they were “members of the household of God … a holy temple in the Lord. In him you also are built together into a dwelling place for God by the Spirit” (Eph. 2:19, 21–22)… The implications are startling. Most of us are familiar with Jesus' statement, “Where two or three are gathered in my name, I am there in the midst of them” (Matt. 18:20 leb). But viewed in the context of the Old Testament idea of sacred space, that statement means that wherever believers gather, the spiritual ground they occupy is sanctified amid the powers of darkness… Yahweh's final chosen dwelling place in the Old Testament was Israel—the temple in Jerusalem. Israel became holy ground because that's where God's presence resided. But that holy ground was threatened by the nations that surrounded it and their hostile gods. In the same way, believers today are in a spiritual war. We are now...

St. Isaac's words reveal that communion with God requires remoteness from distraction and a renunciation of whatever disquiets the heart. This is not something reserved for monks alone, though they live it most radically, but it is a law of the Christian life as a whole. For Isaac, the fruits of renunciation are not abstract but very real: tears, compunction, a fountain of sweetness welling up from the heart, light dawning within. These are given not to the distracted soul but to the one who bows like a convict before the Cross, empty-handed and intent upon nothing else. Renunciation is not simply turning away from sin but from every movement that agitates the mind. He calls it a kind of death, both of the outer man in worldly deeds and occupations, and of the inner man in thoughts, passions, and self-will. It is this dying that makes room for the Spirit to raise one into true life. For the monk, this call is lived in visible and total form: silence, enclosure, vigils, fasting, the cutting away of unnecessary speech and activity. Leaving behind the noise of the world, the monk learns to dwell continually before God. For them Isaac's words are direct and literal, for one cannot hold onto worldly cares and at the same time enter into the madness of divine love. Stillness is the path by which grace rushes into the heart. For those living in the world, this teaching does not mean the rejection of responsibilities, but rather the careful discernment of what is indispensable and what is merely disquieting. Isaac himself acknowledges that not all can practice stillness in its fullness, but warns that one should not abandon the path altogether. Instead, there are ways of living the same spirit in daily life: simplicity, which renounces excess possessions, amusements, and chatter that scatter the heart; sobriety of senses, which guards against overindulgence and constant stimulation; interior watchfulness, which makes room for compunction and prayer in the ordinary rhythms of the day; trust in God's providence, which loosens the grip of anxiety over outcomes. For the layperson, renunciation looks like choosing silence over noise, prayer over distraction, mercy over greed, humility over self-exaltation. In these small dyings the heart is opened to the same fountain of sweetness, even if not in the same intensity as in the solitary monk. Isaac reminds us that whoever does not voluntarily withdraw from the causes of the passions will be carried away by them in the end. Whether monk or layperson, if the heart is constantly fed on the world's noise, possessions, and anxieties, it will inevitably be drawn off course. But if one begins to renounce even in small ways, the Spirit quickly comes to give aid, comforting the soul and granting grace. The lesson is clear: every Christian is called to some measure of renunciation, not as loss, but as the doorway to joy and divine consolation. The monk may live it to the depths, but each person in Christ is summoned to taste it in their own measure. --- Text of chat during the group: 00:14:30 jonathan: started trying practising paustinia every Wednesday and Friday.

TRANSFORMED IN THE STORMSBuilt Different Pt. 4 | October 5, 2025Pastor Bria BradshawMatthew 7:24–27 (ESV) “Everyone then who hears these words of mine and does them will be like a wise man who built his house on the rock. And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house, but it did not fall, because it had been founded on the rock. And everyone who hears these words of mine and does not do them will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand. And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell, and great was the fall of it.”John 16:33 (ESV) I have said these things to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world.We can either be deformed by avoiding our pain or be transformed by meeting God in our pain.“Pain that is not transformed is transmitted." - Richard Rohr✓ Deny - Deny that you have pain✓ Detach - Emotionally disconnect from feeling pain✓ Drug - Numb our painI. LEAVE SOME THINGS BEHINDMatthew 26:36-37 (NIV) Then Jesus went with his disciples to a place called Gethsemane, and he said to them, “Sit here while I go over there and pray.” 37 He took Peter and the two sons of Zebedee along with him, and he began to be sorrowful and troubled.II.

The Upper Room, Part II - The Last Supper comes to a dramatic close. Jesus goes to pray in the Garden of Gethsemane, and is finally met by a close friend at the head of a group of soldiers as they come to arrest Him.

In this message, Pastor Chris picks up in Luke 22 as he focused on Jesus praying to the Father in the Garden of Gethsemane the night before His crucifixion. Christ's incredible attitude of "Nevertheless, not my will, but yours," is a powerful example for all of us. As followers of the Lord, we are called to surrender our will to His and trust His heart to guide us to our God-given purpose in life.

"How should it shape the way we pray in hard moments? What are we supposed to remember when we take communion? In today's episode, Emma Dotter talks with Watermark member, Scott Fowler, Matthew 26 and discuss the events of Jesus praying in Gethsemane, the establishment of communion, and how we can apply both of these stories to our own lives.

Following Jesus today can be dangerous and unpopular, much like it was during his final days in Matthew's Gospel.• Looking at Judas, we see how misplaced expectations can lead us to betray Jesus when he doesn't act how we want• Judas was a real follower who saw miracles and heard teachings, yet abandoned Jesus when his expectations weren't met• The sleeping disciples in Gethsemane mirror our tendency to disengage when faith becomes uncomfortable • Faith should put us in positions where we "contend" - entering the ring, taking punches, and staying engaged• Peter's denial reminds us that it's easy to follow Jesus when it's popular, but much harder when it becomes dangerous• When people accuse and attack Christians, the most important audience is often the silent bystanders watching• Like the Roman centurion who witnessed Jesus' crucifixion, quiet observers notice the contrast between love and hate• As culture becomes less accepting of Christianity, we must decide where we'll stand in relation to JesusDownload our free Echo Discipleship Guides at outloudbible.com on the resources page to dig deeper into these discussions with another person.Send Mike a quick message!

Friends of the Rosary,Today, September 29, is the feast day of the three Archangels named in Sacred Scripture, all with key roles in the history of salvation: Michael, Gabriel, and Raphael.Saint Michael is the "Prince of the Heavenly Host," the leader of all the angels, who cast down Lucifer and the evil spirits into Hell when they rebelled against God. His name is Hebrew for "Who is like God?". He is mentioned four times in the Bible, in Daniel 10 and 12, in the letter of Jude, and in Revelation.In 1899, Pope Leo XIII, having had a prophetic vision of the evil that would be inflicted upon the Church and the world in the 20th century, instituted a prayer asking for Saint Michael's protection to be said at the end of every Mass.Christian tradition recognizes four offices of Saint Michael: (i) to fight against Satan, (ii) to rescue the souls of the faithful from the power of the enemy, especially at the hour of death. (iii) to be the champion of God's people, (iv) to call away from earth and bring men's souls to judgment."I am Gabriel, who stands before God." (Luke 1, 19)Saint Gabriel, whose name means "God's strength," announced the Incarnation of the Word in the womb of Mary and the birth of John the Baptist to his father Zacharias. He also appeared to St. Joseph and to the shepherds, and "strengthened" Jesus during his agony in the garden of Gethsemane."I am the angel Raphael, one of the seven, who stand before the Lord" (Tob 12:15)Saint Raphael means "God has healed" because of his healing of Tobias' blindness in the Book of Tobit. His office is to be that of healing and acts of mercy.Raphael is also identified with the angel in John 5:1-4 who descended upon the pond and bestowed healing powers.Ave Maria!Come, Holy Spirit, come!To Jesus through Mary!Here I am, Lord; I come to do your will.Please give us the grace to respond with joy!+ Mikel Amigot w/ María Blanca | RosaryNetwork.com, New YorkEnhance your faith with the new Holy Rosary University app:Apple iOS | New!
