In the quiet, devastating hours leading up to Jesus' crucifixion, two men closest to Him committed the ultimate betrayal and denial. Drawing from Luke 22:46-63, Pastor Derek Holmes examines the contrasting failures of Judas Iscariot and Simon Peter. Both men sinned profoundly against their Lord, raising the sobering truth that all of us are capable of failing Christ. The critical question is: What do we do when we fail? Pastor Derek unpacks the stark difference in how Judas and Peter responded to their monumental sin. Judas' path led to despair, while Peter's led to restoration. By looking closely at their reactions, Pastor Derek helps us understand the difference between simple remorse for our sin and genuine, heartfelt repentance. True repentance is the only path that leads to forgiveness, healing, and restoration with God. Discover the hope that your failure doesn't have to be final—it can be forgiven.

Embark on this year-long voyage through the Bible, and let each day's passage uplift and inspire you. TODAY'S EPISODE: Welcome to the Daily Radio Bible! It's Monday, October 9th, and we're journeying together through the scriptures on day 283 of our year-long adventure. I'm Hunter, your host, Bible reading coach, and fellow traveler as we open our hearts to not just read the Bible, but to encounter the God who is love. In today's episode, we'll walk through Nehemiah chapters 1 and 2, Psalm 133, and Luke 22, using the New Living Translation. You'll hear Nehemiah's passionate plea for his people, witness the disciples' Last Supper with Jesus, and reflect on what it truly means to serve in God's kingdom—even when it runs counter to how the world defines greatness. Along the way, I'll share a heartfelt prayer, some thoughts from my own life, and gratitude for listeners like you who make this daily journey possible. Settle in, take a deep breath, and let's discover God's enduring love together. TODAY'S DEVOTION: He calls us to a different kind of greatness. The gospel reading today takes us to the upper room, where Jesus shares a meal with his disciples and prepares them for the suffering to come. As he breaks the bread and pours out the wine, he tells them plainly what will happen—his body will be given, his blood poured out for them. He shares that among them sits a betrayer, and the disciples, confused and alarmed, begin to question not just who will fail, but also who among them is the greatest. Jesus responds in a way that turns the world's values upside down. He tells them that in his kingdom, greatness is not found in status, power, or position. Instead, the greatest is the one who serves. “For I am among you as one who serves,” Jesus says. The path of significance in God's kingdom is radically different from the way of the world. The world says, “Prove yourself by your accomplishments, your influence, your authority.” But Jesus says, “Lay all of that down. Become a servant. That is true greatness.” And he doesn't ask us to do anything he is not willing to do himself. Jesus is the king who serves, who gives, who lays down his life for his friends—even for those who will betray and deny him. And though we may have the best of intentions, just like Peter, we're often powerless on our own to actually live out this way of love and humility. We want to be loyal, to be faithful, to stand strong. Yet we fall, we falter, we fail. But here is the comfort: Jesus prays for us, just as he prayed for Peter. He intercedes that our faith would not fail, and that once we have turned back—once we've come to the end of ourselves—we would strengthen others, not with our own strength, but with his. It is Christ's strength, his mercy, his abiding life that equips us to be servants in his kingdom. This is the invitation of the gospel: to lay aside our striving for power, for influence, for greatness as the world defines it, and instead to find our place as servants of the King. We are called to offer the same mercy and love we have received, to embody the kingdom, to bring the message of God's reconciling love to a world in need. That's a prayer I have for my own soul. That's a prayer I have for my family, for my wife, my daughters, my son. And that's a prayer I have for you. May it be so. TODAY'S PRAYERS: Lord God Almighty and everlasting father you have brought us in safety to this new day preserve us with your Mighty power that we might not fall into sin or be overcome by adversity. And in all we do, direct us to the fulfilling of your purpose  through Jesus Christ Our Lord amen.   Oh God you have made of one blood all the peoples of the earth and sent your blessed son to preach peace to those who are far and those who are near. Grant that people everywhere may seek after you, and find you. Bring the nations into your fold, pour out your Spirit on all flesh, and hasten the coming of your kingdom through Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen.   And now Lord,  make me an instrument of your peace.  Where there is hatred let me sow love. Where there is injury, pardon.  Where there is doubt, faith. Where there is despair, hope.  Where there is darkness, light.  And where there is sadness,  Joy.  Oh Lord grant that I might not seek to be consoled as to console. To be understood as to understand, to be loved as to love.  For it is in the giving that we receive, in the pardoning that we are pardoned, it is in the dying that we are born unto eternal life.  Amen And now as our Lord has taught us we are bold to pray... Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name, thy kingdom come thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven, give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our tresspasses as we forgive those who trespass against us, and lead us not unto temptation, but deliver us from evil, for thine is the Kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen. Loving God, we give you thanks for restoring us in your image. And nourishing us with spiritual food, now send us forth as forgiven people, healed and renewed, that we may proclaim your love to the world, and continue in the risen life of Christ.  Amen.  OUR WEBSITE: www.dailyradiobible.com We are reading through the New Living Translation.   Leave us a voicemail HERE: https://www.speakpipe.com/dailyradiobible Subscribe to us at YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@Dailyradiobible/featured OTHER PODCASTS: Listen with Apple Podcast DAILY BIBLE FOR KIDS DAILY PSALMS DAILY PROVERBS DAILY LECTIONARY DAILY CHRONOLOGICAL  

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.

Anchored in the Word Morning Reflection: Season 4 Episode 186 Christ's Agony in the Garden: Introduction Luke 22:39-46 #morningreflections #grace #cross #redemption

The lesson for disciples of our Lord Jesus Christ is that we must show love to all so as to win men and women for the kingdom. Luke chapter 22 begins with a plot to kill Jesus. The conspirators seek to do this as quietly as possible since the crowds who are filling Jerusalem at Passover were massive and were at this time stirred with patriotic enthusiasm for Jesus' miracles and teachings. Judas, possibly overcome with covetousness, agrees to assist the rulers in their plan. Jesus had secretly prearranged the keeping of his Passover, called the Lord's Supper, one day before his death at Passover. Jesus' death on the stake would coincide exactly with the time of the cutting of the throats of the Passover lambs. Nothing must be allowed to interfere with the time Jesus needs to teach them of his love and the great lessons that would steel them against imminent trouble, as well as ongoing persecution. Jesus next addresses an ongoing discussion that the Apostles had been having behind the Lord's back. "Who would be the greatest in the Kingdom of God?" How petty, and ridiculous when the greatest man who has ever lived was about to lay down his life for them. Greatness is measured, not by esteem, but in service. Peter is told by his Lord of his threefold denial, which would occur before the rooster had crowed twice. The disciples would be confronted by the mob and once their Lord had been taken, they would need to fend for themselves. The reference to swords applies more to a dirk, or hunting knife. Peter and another of the Apostles had recently purchased these in expectation of trouble. In the Garden of Gethsemane our Lord thrice prays seeking, if it were possible, that there might be another way. So intense was his prayer that he sweated like it were great drops of blood. There is a known medical condition where the human body under extreme stress exudes blood through the pores of the skin. This condition is known as haematohidrosis. Consequent on Christ being strengthened by an angel he yielded his will to that of his Father. Yes, indeed, there were two distinct wills - that is impossible if our Lord is one part of the trinity- but here was the Divine Father and His mortal, submissive son. Judas comes at the head of a heavily armed band of temple thugs. How pathetic is it that the sign of Jesus' betrayal was a feigned affectionate kiss. Peter strikes out with his dirk and cuts off the ear of Malchus, the servant of the high priest. Peter is admonished by the Lord who miraculously heals Malchus. This is of course another evidence of Jesus' power as the Son of God. Our Lord meekly submits as a lamb to the slaughter to the vicious mob. Christ is led away to six farcical trials. Verses 54 to 62 record Peter's crumbling under intense and increasing pressure until he eventually caves in totally distraught and weeping in bitter remorse. Jesus is mocked and abused by the temple soldiers. Then he was illegally tried before the council of the 72. They were not allowed to conduct matters carrying a death sentence at night. Jesus quotes to the Council the words of Daniel 7 verses 13-14 and tells them that he will judge them. The other gospel records tell us that even the perjured witnesses could not agree among themselves. The high priest brings the charge of blasphemy against our Lord and against the Law condemns Jesus out of his own mouth. The Law of Moses forbad that.

In this episode, Pastor Chris looks to the book of Luke to look at Jesus' instruction and promise to the Disciples from chapter 22. While in closing out the events in the upper room, Jesus reminded us that the way of a disciple is radically different from the way of a non-believer. The Kingdom runs on much different principles than what we know in the flesh. While the world looks to be served, followers of Christ look to serve. We also look forward with great hope toward the promise that one day, Jesus will reward all his followers. The way of Christ is very different, but is so much better.

The Pattern of God's Sovereignty in ScriptureThe events surrounding Christ and the conspiracy against Him should not surprise us when we consider the broader biblical narrative. From Adam and Eve's fall in the garden to the promise of a victorious offspring, Scripture consistently demonstrates humanity's failure to live by God's word alongside God's unwavering plan for redemption. Abraham's test with Isaac and the deliverance of Israel from Egypt highlight a recurring pattern: God's promises come to fruition through unexpected or seemingly impossible circumstances. Even in situations marked by human failure, sin, and death, God remains sovereign, orchestrating history toward His redemptive purpose.The Threat of Malicious MenIn the context of the Passover and the Feast of Unleavened Bread, the chief priests and scribes sought to kill Christ. These leaders, charged with upholding holiness, we engage in unholiness. They were conspiring in secret, out of fear of the crowds, rather than a genuine fear of the Lord. Their actions reveal a tragic distortion of human priorities: they were willing to reject God's appointed Messiah to preserve their own power and image. Judas, who aligned himself with them, illustrates the conscious surrender to evil that is possible when hearts turn from God. Here, Scripture reveals the stark reality of human sinfulness in contrast to God's ultimate control. This is showing a horrible state where men join to conspire with Satan literally.Christ as the Passover LambAmid conspiracies, chaos, and betrayal, Christ demonstrates His role as the Passover Lamb. Luke emphasizes the timing and preparation of the Passover meal, showing Christ's sovereign orchestration of events. Though Judas knew that the meal would take place, Christ provided just enough guidance for His disciples to prepare without compromising His redemptive plan. Christ proves that he is a prophet and he will lay down his life at the appointed time. Like the original Passover in Egypt, where the blood of the lamb saved God's people, Christ willingly submits to the suffering and betrayal that will lead to the cross, fulfilling God's plan without error or accident. He demonstrates that redemption comes through precise divine timing, not human schemes.Our Redemption and Consecration in HimChrist's work as the Passover Lamb extends beyond historical events; it consecrates and redeems His people. While Israel's festivals often fell short of their intended meaning due to human sin, Christ fulfills them perfectly, securing redemption once for all. He comes to undeserving people, covers their sins, and establishes a definitive exodus from death to life. Luke presents this to assure us that nothing in our lives surprises God because He is faithful and so powerful that he fulfills his promises. Our identity, consecration, and strength are found in Him, the Lamb of God, who calls us to bow the knee and live in the fullness of His redemption.

There may have been a time or two in our lives we felt like we hit rock bottom.  What do we do when we hit rock bottom?  There is always hope because as Jesus prayed for Peter that his faith would not fail him, Jesus has prayed for us.  Peter may have faltered, but his faith did not fail him.  There is a sifting we all will go through but we must seek the Lord during that sifting.

Daily Dose of Hope September 23, 2025   Scripture – Luke 22:39-71   Prayer:  Holy God, We come before you this morning in awe of your blessings and love.  Thank you, Lord, for the ways you continue to guide our lives.  Lord, we want more intimacy with you.  We are desperate to know you better.  In these next few moments of silence, Jesus, please speak to us.  We need to hear your voice...  In Your Name, Amen.   Welcome back to the Daily Dose of Hope, the devotional and podcast that complements the New Hope daily Bible reading plan.  As most of you know, we are currently doing a deep dive into the Gospels and Acts.  Today, we are finishing up Luke 22.    Yesterday, we joined Jesus in the Upper Room with this disciples.  Today, we find them praying together on the Mount of Olives.  The only problem is that the disciples cannot stay awake.  Jesus is pouring out his heart to the Father, asking that the cup be taken from him, and the disciples (in their humanness) can't keep their eyes open.  Luke says that they were exhausted from sorrow.  They don't know what is about to happen but they do know that it's going to be bad.    I love how Luke mentions that an angel comes down to strengthen Jesus.  Remember, he freely chooses to go to the cross but he knows it's going to be terrible.  In his humanity, he dreads it.  But God knows what he needs and provides it.  Just in case you don't know, God knows what you need and will provide it.  That doesn't mean he will save you from pain and sorrow.  I mean, Jesus is about to be executed on a Roman cross.  But God will walk with us and give us the strength we need. Jesus is then arrested.  Luke tells us that Jesus is approached by the chief priests, officers of the Temple guard, and the elders.  They come at him with swords and clubs.  Verses 49-51 read, “When Jesus' followers saw what was going to happen, they said, “Lord, should we strike with our swords?”  And one of them struck the servant of the high priest, cutting off his right ear.  But Jesus answered, “No more of this!” And he touched the man's ear and healed him.  Even in this situation, Jesus responds with love.  Jesus kept his disciples from fighting back with violence.  He trusted God to the end.  He also made it clear that his kingdom doesn't follow the pattern of this world.  This world's pattern is violence, power, and control.  Jesus' way is love, truth, justice, mercy, and peace. I did want to spend a little time on Peter's denial of Jesus. I don't know why but I've always been fascinated by this passage. Peter was Jesus' closest friend. He swore that if all the others fell away, he would not. And yet, he did. What made Peter deny Jesus? Probably fear. Fear does all kinds of things to us as human beings. Maybe he was scared of being arrested himself, or of being ostracized by the Jewish leaders, we don't really know.  But whatever the reason, he vehemently denies Jesus three times.  When Peter realizes this, he has tremendous remorse and begins to cry.   Maybe I'm fascinated by this text because I have so often found myself in the same boat.  I have denied Jesus.  I haven't spoke up when I knew I should have, I haven't stood firm on certain issues, I haven't loved others the way Jesus calls me to, I haven't put Jesus first, I could go on and on.  I have denied Jesus.  I hope that I've gotten to the place in my spiritual walk in which I deny Jesus less.  But I know that I am far from perfect and there are still those times.  When I realize my denial, like Peter, I cry and I'm filled with sorrow and I have to go back to Jesus and repent.  And just like he did for Peter, I'm forgiven and restored.    Think about your own life. How have you denied Jesus? What has been your reaction when you realize this?   Blessings, Pastor Vicki

Daily Dose of Hope September 22, 2025   Scripture - Luke 22:1-38   Prayer: Holy God, We come before you this morning in awe of your blessings and love.  Thank you, Lord, for the ways you continue to guide our lives.  Lord, we are desperate to know you better.  In these next few moments of silence, Jesus, please speak to us.  We need to hear your voice...  In Your Name, Amen.   Welcome back, everyone, to the Daily Dose of Hope, a deep dive into the Gospels and Acts.  Happy Monday!  This is the devotional and podcast that complements the New Hope Church daily Bible reading plan.    Today, we start Luke 22.  First, we encounter Judas.  Satan has entered him and he goes to the chief priests in order to betray Jesus.  This is a scary and intriguing Scripture.  From what I've read, this is the only place where Satan himself enters a person. All other evil possessions involve demons. This was a crucial time in salvation history. Satan would not delegate this task to anyone else. So important was this time that Satan himself “entered Judas.”    But how could this happen?  While Satan is the one who initiated entering Judas, this only occurred because Judas allowed it to occur.  He opened the door to his heart.  We don't have any evidence that Judas tried to resist.  We don't have any indication that Judas prayed to God for help, dug into Scripture, or did anything to prevent this from happening.  In fact, we do get the impression that Judas' heart had become hard.  We don't know anything about his inner thought life or prayer life, but we can surmise that things had gone south here.  None of this happened quickly.  Gradually, Judas allowed himself to fall prey to evil.    We then come to the time in which the disciples will share the Passover meal with Jesus.  When I read this text, it reminds me of the Palm Sunday Scripture in which Jesus had planned everything out.  Here, it is the same thing.  He tells the disciples that when they enter the city, there will be a man carrying a jay of water, follow that man.  And that all happened.  The man showed them an upstairs room that was furnished and that was the place they were to prepare for the Passover.  Jesus had taken care of all the details.    And then we have the Passover meal.  But this wasn't a Passover meal like the disciples had experienced before.  Jesus took something that was so familiar and transformed it.  He knew what was going to happen.  He knew that he would soon suffer and die.  And he uses this sacred meal to do a new thing.  (God is always doing a new thing.) The bread and wine become his body and blood.  They represent a new covenant and a new meal.  Of course, this is what we celebrate as a body of Christ when we come together for Holy Communion, also called the Lord's Supper or the Eucharist.   One thing that's particularly interesting to me is that Jesus knew that Judas would betray him.  Does he make him leave the table?  Does he force him to leave the Upper Room?  No, not at all.  He allows him to stay.  He is still welcomed at the table.    Another interesting element in Luke's account is the dispute over which disciple is greatest.  Can you imagine just having this holy moment with Jesus and then arguing over who among you in greatest?  It seems absurd and yet, these disciples were human and they really didn't understand the kind of Kingdom being ushered in by Jesus.  But Jesus stops them and tells them quite bluntly to be careful what you wish for.  In Jesus' Kingdom, to lead is to serve.  The greatest becomes the least.    We then have Jesus predicting Peter's denial and we have this confusing discourse about swords.  Jesus tells them to go buy a sword.  Several disciples present him with two swords and he yells, “Enough!”  Okay, I'm lost – how about you?   Some pastors have used this passage as evidence that Jesus is saying we are to defend ourselves.  But that doesn't seem right.  Two swords would not be enough for eleven disciples.  Plus, the Sermon on the Mount does not seem to allow for any kind of violence.  Most scholars say that this command to buy a sword means to be ready for hardship and self-sacrifice.  It points to being ready for persecution, not ready for revenge.  The term sword needs to interpreted figuratively.   What are your thoughts?   More tomorrow.   Blessings, Pastor Vicki

Message from Elder Ronnie Loudermilk on September 21, 2025

Jeremiah 31:31–34; Luke 22:14–23God promises a new covenant that transforms the heart and ends the cycle of repeated sacrifices. In Christ's blood, the covenant is sealed—and God remembers our sins no more. This sermon traces Jeremiah's promise to the upper room and calls us to assurance, repentance, and a life shaped by covenant grace.

“But I have pleaded in prayer for you, Simon, that your faith should not fail. So when you have repented and turned to me again, strengthen your brothers.”” (Luke 22:32 NLT-SE)

“But I have pleaded in prayer for you, Simon, that your faith should not fail. So when you have repented and turned to me again, strengthen your brothers.”” (Luke 22:32 NLT-SE)

Christ concludes with a call to maintain a perspective rooted in hope and perseverance, even in the face of suffering or discouragement. We see through history tha Christians face persecution. We can think of postwar Europe and the commitment required of Christians under threat. He highlights the continual need to evaluate priorities and find strength not in oneself but in the risen Christ. We might be tempted to give in to fear or pessimism, but believers are urged to pray, trust, and remember that their ultimate victory is in Christ, who has triumphed and secured new life for his people. The final exhortation is to cling to the Savior in humility, recognizing that lasting strength comes from him and not from human effort or institutions.May we be a discerning people who are not deceived by the false teachers and prophets in our day. Let us be a discerning people who seek to pursue our Lord as we walk in his wisdom.

In the Garden of GethsemaneLuke 22:35-62The Village Chapel - 09/14/2025In Luke 22:35-62, we are taken into the dark hours of Thursday night in the Garden of Gethsemane. Here, Jesus kneels in prayer, staggering under the weight of sin and the cup of wrath He alone must drink. Betrayed by Judas, abandoned by the disciples, and soon denied by Peter, Jesus nevertheless submits fully to the Father's will. In His agony, His arrest, and His mercy—even healing the ear of one sent to seize Him—we are given a window into the heart of the Savior who loves to the end.Whether you have never turned to Jesus or you have walked away from Him, this passage reminds us that Jesus is faithful and trustworthy, He prays for His people, and He offers forgiveness and freedom to all who turn to Him.

What do bread, wine, and a simple meal have to do with the salvation of humanity? In this powerful message, pastor Chris Rieber unpacks the profound significance of Jesus' last Passover with his disciples. Looking at Luke 22, we see how Jesus transformed the traditional Passover meal into something entirely new—the Lord's Supper. As he broke the bread and poured the wine, Jesus wasn't just observing an ancient tradition; he was instituting a new one, a permanent remembrance of the ultimate sacrifice he was about to make. Join us as we explore how Jesus himself is the final Passover lamb, whose blood was shed to take away the sin of the world.

The Upside-Down Kingdom: Redefining GreatnessLuke 22:24-34The Village Chapel - 09/07/2025In a world consumed by wealth, status, and the pursuit of greatness, Jesus turns everything upside down. Luke 22 unveils a radical truth: true greatness isn't about outshining others or chasing personal glory—it's about humility, service, and deep heart transformation at work in the lives of believers, through God's grace. As the disciples bickered over which of them was greatest, Jesus modeled real greatness. Jesus walked the path to the Cross, showing how selfless service and even suffering can lead to God's glory and the good of others. Join Pastor Jim as he explores how Jesus defined greatness, how it transforms the trials we endure, and calls us to a servant-hearted life, boasting in Christ alone.To find more resources like these, follow us:Website: https://thevillagechapel.comYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCQVTzDbaiXVUAm_mUBDCTJAInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/tvcnashville/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/tvcnashvilleX: https://twitter.com/tvcnashvilleTo support the ongoing mission of The Village Chapel go to https://thevillagechapel.com/give/.
