Was Jesus ever tempted to quit—return to heaven and ask the Father to find another way to save us? He was tested in the wilderness in the beginning of His ministry, now Jesus was tested in the Garden of Gethsemane just as He was ready to give His life on the cross. Visit with Him there.

Passover was the central event of the first-century Jewish religious calendar. Jesus greatly desired to celebrate Passover with His disciples one final time just before His crucifixion. It was during that time where Jesus revealed that one of them would betray Him. Lest we think we are stronger than we are, it is good to be reminded that the only reason we will remain faithful is because of the continued grace of God in our lives. A sermon preached by Pastor Caleb at Legacy Reformed Baptist Church in East Grand Forks, MN

This was Eilidh Proudfoot looking at Matthew 26:69-75 from our 7 pm service on Sunday 2 August 2026. This is part of series looking at the life of Peter.
The disciples must have felt devastated when Jesus was arrested and crucified. After all, in just a few hours, the teacher they had followed for years was arrested, convicted in a sham trial, beaten until bloody, and then crucified. But that moment of weakness was not the end for the disciples! Pastor Richard reminds you today that Jesus' resurrection power can revive a heart that has withered away because of doubt and failure.
One of the reasons that we call Jesus our Good Shepherd is because He watches over us and protects us! The road ahead of us is dark and uncertain, and we can get anxious because of that lack of certainty! But in today's message, Pastor Richard wants to remind us that Jesus can see the end of the road just as easily as He can see the beginning. He knows exactly how to guide us step by step into green pastures, so that our souls can be at peace.
Faithful King and Fallen Followers

The Passover dominates the context of the latter half of Matthew 26. Within the setting of the Last Supper, we find the quintessential occurrence of an often misunderstood phenomenon in the betrayal of Judas Iscariot. God uses the sin of man to accomplish His good design, yet God is not the author of the sin. Even though God willed and used Judas' sin, Judas was responsible and condemned for it. Before trying to understand the Passover and the new understanding of it that Jesus gave in instituting the Lord's Table, we take some time to explore the relationship between man's responsibility and God's sovereignty. A sermon preached by Pastor Caleb at Legacy Reformed Baptist Church in East Grand Forks, MN.
What's your response to Jesus dying on the cross for the forgiveness of your sins? Listen as we look at the response of those around Jesus from Matthew 26.
We can deny Jesus because of our fear, but Jesus will forgive our sin and turn our fear into faith.

Matthew #57: When Our Faith Is Failing (Matthew 26:31-75) Rob Woodrum (7/5/26) This Sunday we'll be reading Matthew 27:1-31. It describes the preliminary stages of the cross experience of Christ. We've stated before that the cross is the central revelation of God's character. So, we'll be focusing on the cross in our teaching, discovering what it reveals and provides for us. It's a very painful section to read and discuss, but it is also beautiful when understood as a picture of God's heart towards humanity. That's one of those strange, delicate tensions that the Gospel is full of.In v1-10, Judas went to the temple and the temple leaders because his heart was burdened by what he'd done. What response did he meet there? What does that tell us about what had happened to the temple system of that time? How does that contrast with Jesus' ministry and what warnings do we discern when it comes to our own framework for the practice of our faith?Through the rest of the section we'll cover we read about the trial before Pilate. Pilate had political aspirations and clearly wanted to protect those, but he also had difficulty with the apparent innocence of Jesus. The crowd and their leaders wanted blood and Pilate wanted to avoid a riot which could further tarnish his reputation as a competent leader for Rome. He offers a trade – he'll let one prisoner go as a gesture of good-will for the Passover – the crowd chooses guilty Barabbas and innocent Jesus takes his place. Matthew is pretty heavy handed with the telling of this – it's obvious what he wants us to see. What do you see? What is this a picture of the cross revealing about God's heart and the Gospel?When the soldiers mock Jesus, they dress him up like a clown king…a parody of what a ruler should look like. They fashion a crown out of thorny brambles to put on his head. The Creation story comes to mind, and the curse pronounced because of sin:Gen 3:17…”cursed is the fertile land because of you; in pain you will eat from it every day of your life.Considering that curse, what does Jesus being crowned with thorns mean to you? What can it be picturing about what the cross of Christ is providing for us?As I said – it's a heavy and painful section of Scripture to read – but beautiful beyond comprehension as well. Hope to see you Sunday.Click here for a pdf of the teaching slideshow.

The world put Jesus on trial the first time, but He will return as the King and Judge and put the world on trial.
Sandwiched between two very different answers to the question of Jesus' worth is the reality that in this age there will always be people around us facing poverty. What was the disciples' attitude toward the poor, and what how should we treat them? A question made all the more difficult since our current culture has undertaken a war on poverty founded upon anti-Christian principles; a war that has failed. A sermon preached by Pastor Caleb at Legacy Reformed Baptist Church in East Grand Forks, MN.
Series: Lord's Supper CommentsService: Sun AMType: SermonSpeaker: Doug Miller
The Lord's Table is a vital part of the life and worship of a healthy church. It is at the Lord's Table, that Christ's church gathers to remember Christ's sacrifice, proclaim his saving death, and anticipate his coming kingdom. Therefore, we should receive the bread and cup with sincere hearts and deep gratitude for all that Christ has done! The Lord's Supper is not a funeral for a defeated Savior. It is a covenant meal prepared for us by our Risen King!
After revealing how the rulers in Israel were plotting howthey could murder Jesus, Matthew gave us two examples that showed vary different responses to Jesus, so close to His crucifixion. The unnamed woman in the houseof Simon the Leper, and Judas Iscariot. The unnamed woman's actions proved that she knew, loved, and valued Jesus above any earthly possession. Her act of kindness is remembered throughout the centuries. Judas' actions proved he saw Jesus only as a means to what was truly important to him. He is remembered as the definition of treachery and betrayal. A sermon preached by Pastor Caleb at Legacy Reformed Baptist Church in East Grand Forks, MN.

Matthew #56: Tasting The Tree Of Life (Matthew 26:17-30) Janelle Greene (6/28/26) When I was in college, one of my professors led an activity that has stayed with me ever since. He said the word “apple” and asked us to write down as many descriptive words as we could. We wrote things like fruit and tree. Then he showed us a picture of an apple, and our list grew with words like red, round, and leaf. Next, he brought out a fake apple, giving us even more details to describe. Finally, he passed around a real apple. Now we could write about its weight, texture, smell, the sound of a bite crunching, and other characteristics that were impossible to experience through the previous examples.The purpose of the exercise was to demonstrate how much more we learn when multiple senses are engaged. The professor encouraged us to involve as many senses as possible when teaching because it increases the likelihood that people will understand and remember what is being communicated. Hearing alone has its limits, but understanding grows when we add sight, touch, and even taste.I often think about that lesson when I consider why Jesus commanded us to eat and drink in remembrance of His sacrifice. We are not called only to listen or to watch. We are invited to taste and touch as we remember what Christ has done and worship Him.This Sunday we will continue our study in Matthew by reading chapter 26, verses 17 through 30. In this passage, we will see the Last Supper, where Jesus transforms the Passover meal into a reminder of the New Covenant established through His sacrifice. What stands out to you about Jesus' words and actions?If you would like to study more of the context ahead of time, The Bible Project has excellent resources on Passover and the biblical covenants that provide helpful context for this week's passage. We hope you will take a few minutes to explore them, and we invite you to join us this Sunday as we study God's Word together.Click here for a pdf of the teaching slideshow.
