Sunday Morning, June 7, 2026Before Golgotha, there was Gethsemane ... Matthew 26:36-46A message delivered by Richard Fleming

Bible study with Pastor Gary Terry of LCBC.

Matthew 26

Here we get a glimpse into the humanity of the Lord Jesus through this intimate scene between the Father and the Son in the Garden of Gethsemane.

Jesus understood that He alone could faithfully bear the spiritual load and withstand the spiritual labor necessary to atone for sins. Just one Passover lamb would die that year. And Jesus predicted Peter’s restoration too. After I rise, I’ll go ahead of you back to Galilee. Peter’s failures are met by Jesus’ faithfulness. Our failures are met by Jesus’ faithfulness.

Tune in as our Student Minister, Jacob Reents, delivers a message on the blood of Jesus from Matthew 26.

Matthew 26:1-16 - - May 17, 2026

Jesus Christ will be handed over to die.

This sermon on Matthew 26 uses Peter's denial of Jesus as a warning against spiritual overconfidence. Drawing from 1 Corinthians 10:12, it argues that Peter's fall did not happen suddenly but resulted from a series of warning signs: he failed to listen to Jesus' repeated warnings about His coming arrest and death, became boastful about his own faithfulness, neglected prayer in the Garden of Gethsemane, acted impulsively by attacking the high priest's servant, and ultimately followed Jesus “at a distance.” As pressure mounted during Jesus' trial, Peter's confidence gave way to fear, leading him to deny knowing Jesus three times. The sermon emphasizes that Christians can experience great spiritual victories and still stumble if they become self-reliant rather than dependent on God. Yet it also highlights God's grace: Jesus knew Peter would fail, prayed for him, and intended to restore him. Peter's later transformation into a humble and steadfast leader demonstrates that failure does not have to be the end of a believer's story; when met with repentance and reliance on Christ, it can become a catalyst for growth, maturity, and stronger faith.

The Storm before the Calm - Matthew 26-28 (May 17, 2026) by Michael B. Linton

At the bottom of all that weighs us down is the curse of sin that infested creation. Jesus defeated the darkness so we don’t have to. Instead, we come by faith trusting the glorious sufficiency of His atoning death. Worship Him!

This sermon centers on Jesus' trial before the Sanhedrin and highlights how the accusations against Him actually reveal the unfolding story of God's plan across three major eras: the Old Covenant, the New Covenant, and the Age to Come. The message begins by reflecting on Peter's earlier attempt to defend Jesus with a sword, showing that God's kingdom is not advanced through human force but through spiritual surrender and trust in Christ. As Jesus is brought before Caiaphas and falsely accused, the religious leaders misunderstand His statement about destroying and rebuilding the temple, believing He referred to the physical temple in Jerusalem. The sermon explains that Jesus was actually speaking about His own body, revealing Himself as the true Temple of God where God's fullness dwells. Through His death and resurrection, Jesus fulfilled and replaced the old covenant system of worship centered on a physical location and animal sacrifices, inaugurating the New Covenant where believers themselves become the temple of the Holy Spirit and can worship God anywhere in spirit and truth. The message then points forward to the Age to Come, where Jesus' declaration about the “Son of Man coming on the clouds” connects to Daniel's prophecy and Revelation's promise of Christ's return. Though the Sanhedrin rejected Him and accused Him of blasphemy, Jesus boldly declared His divine identity and future reign. The sermon concludes by calling believers to live holy and expectant lives, remembering that the same Jesus who was mocked and rejected will one day return in glory, remove the curse of sin forever, and restore humanity to perfect fellowship with God as originally intended.

This sermon focuses on Matthew 26 and uses Jesus' unjust trial before the Sanhedrin as a model for how Christians should handle the trials of life while “growing up” in their salvation. The message emphasizes that following Jesus means learning obedience and spiritual maturity by removing destructive patterns and embracing the life Christ offers. Through Jesus' arrest, false accusations, silence before His accusers, and suffering, believers are shown how to respond when life feels unfair. The central lessons are to let God fight your battles and to speak truth only at the right time. Jesus remained silent when falsely accused, demonstrating trust, self-control, and dependence on the Father rather than reacting in fear or self-defense. Yet when directly asked about His identity, He boldly spoke the truth. The sermon connects this to the believer's need for spiritual discernment, power, love, and self-control through the Holy Spirit. It then broadens into practical teaching from James 5 on enduring life's trials with patience, eternal perspective, perseverance, and trust in God's compassion and purpose. Using examples from Scripture, personal stories, and passages about spiritual warfare and God's promises, the message teaches that trials are unavoidable but can become tools God uses for maturity, perseverance, testimony, and blessing. Ultimately, believers are encouraged to trust God's plan, stand firm in faith, anticipate Christ's return, and remember that God is compassionate, faithful, and actively working even through suffering.

A sermon on Matthew 26:14-16, 36-39, 47-56.

Jesus demonstrates His complete control and authority over every event leading up to His atoning death and powerful resurrection. When the pressure mounts against Him, the disciples will abandon Him. But He won’t abandon them. And His work on their behalf transforms them into men who will take up their cross and follow Him.

One Year Bible Podcast: Join Hunter and Heather Barnes on the Daily Radio Bible, a daily Bible‑in‑a‑year podcast with 20‑minute Scripture readings, Christ‑centered devotion, and guided prayer.This daily Bible reading and devotional invites you to live as a citizen of Jesus' kingdom, reconciled, renewed, and deeply loved. TODAY'S EPISODE: Welcome to the Daily Radio Bible for May 9th. I'm Hunter, your Bible reading coach, here to journey with you through the Scriptures on day 129 of our year-long adventure. Today, we'll dive into the dramatic events of 2 Samuel 17, the heartfelt cries of Psalm 71, and the powerful, world-changing moments of Matthew 26. Together, we'll reflect on betrayal and faith, on the spirit's willingness even when the flesh is weak, and on the radical love and self-giving of Jesus. Join me as we open our hearts, listen for God's voice, spend time in prayer, and discover what it means to abide each day in Christ's presence. TODAY'S DEVOTION: The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak. These are the words Jesus speaks to Peter, words that echo through the ages and land gently, honestly, in our own hearts. We long to have a strong will, to stand firm, to remain steadfast, but time and again, we find the flesh faltering. Hunter reminds us that no matter how much we bluster or boast, the flesh on its own cannot shape or sustain the will; it will betray us every time, just as it did Peter—three times, in the moment it mattered most. But notice the beauty of what Jesus does that same night. Three times, while Peter's spirit gives way, Jesus lays down his own will before the Father in prayer—three times, he chooses not his own will, but God's. Where we falter, he is faithful. Where we shrink back, he steps forward in radical self-giving love, empowered not by human determination but by the Spirit. It is this same Spirit that Christ offers to us—a Spirit that can shape our will, align our hearts, and enable us to reflect a radical forgiveness, a radical love, even when it is costly. That is the good news Hunter shares with us today. The abiding and willing Spirit of Christ dwells in you. You are not left to face these struggles alone or to will yourself into God's purposes. By his Spirit, you too can learn the way of self-giving love, molded more and more into the life of Jesus. That is my prayer for my soul today: to abide, to yield, to let Christ's willing Spirit have his way in me. It's the prayer I have for my family. And it's the prayer I have for you. May we abide in Christ and learn his way of love. 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

This passage describes Jesus' trial before the religious leaders as a moment that appears chaotic and unjust but actually reveals His complete control and purpose. Despite false accusations, a rushed and unlawful trial, and abandonment by His disciples, Jesus remains composed, showing confidence in God's plan rather than the circumstances. He chooses silence when falsely accused, demonstrating restraint and trust instead of self-defense, yet speaks with authority when directly questioned about His identity, boldly affirming the truth of who He is. Even as He is condemned, mocked, and physically abused, Jesus is not a victim but willingly endures suffering to fulfill His mission of redemption. The scene ultimately highlights His sovereignty—He is composed in chaos, silent under attack, bold in truth, and fully in control—reminding us that even when life feels out of control, God's purposes are still being carried out.

This message, centered on Matthew 26:47–56, explores Jesus' arrest as a powerful lesson on true spiritual preparedness in the face of conflict. While the scene includes betrayal by Judas Iscariot and the impulsive violence of Peter—who cuts off Malchus' ear—the core focus is on how Jesus responds: with restraint, authority, and trust in God's plan. Though Jesus had the power to resist, He willingly surrendered, demonstrating that His kingdom is not advanced through force but through obedience and spiritual strength. The sermon highlights the apparent tension between Jesus instructing His disciples to carry swords and then rebuking their use, explaining that while practical preparation has value, reliance on physical or worldly means must never replace dependence on God. Believers are reminded that their true battle is spiritual, not against people, and that victory comes through prayer, self-control, humility, and trust in God rather than aggression or self-reliance. Ultimately, the message calls Christians—especially leaders and fathers—to pursue daily spiritual discipline, preparing their hearts and minds so they can respond like Jesus: with love, wisdom, and unwavering faith, even toward enemies.

This passage reflects on Gospel of Matthew chapter 26, focusing on Jesus' arrest in the Garden of Gethsemane and shifting attention from personal failure to the pain caused by others' failures. While the scene includes betrayal by Judas and abandonment by the disciples, the message centers on the moment when Simon Peter impulsively attacks a servant named Malchus, cutting off his ear. Malchus represents how people are often unexpectedly and unjustly hurt by others—sometimes even by well-meaning individuals who believe they are doing right. The text emphasizes that such wounds are real, undeserved, and deeply painful, especially when no apology follows. However, it highlights Jesus' compassionate response in healing Malchus, illustrating that true healing—without lasting scars—comes only from Him. Ultimately, the message calls for spiritual maturity: just as individuals seek forgiveness for their own failures, they must also choose to forgive others, release bitterness, and allow Jesus to restore their wounds rather than holding onto them as defining grievances.

20 Proverbs 15-16; Genesis 38-42; 19 Psalms 34-37; 40 Matthew 26-28

In Matthew's very Jewish-oriented account we have seen Jesus lauded as the coming King, we have seen the builders reject the cornerstone, and today we will see the Lamb of God who brings a greater Passover and a greater deliverance. Like Abraham's firstborn, the Son of God is offered to God as a sacrifice, but he also the substitute offered so that we might live. A Jewish audience would have heard and understood all the parallels to Psalm 22, and recalled from Isaiah that the wounds of the suffering servant bring healing. Thankfully, his crucifixion is not the end. Jesus rises from the grave, just as he had said.

Join us as this Sunday, Pastor Mike Dsane, lead pastor at King's Harbor Church in Torrance, CA delivers the word from Matthew 26. Pastor Dsane navigates prayer and how we as Christians ought to confess our dependence on God.

In this message, centered on Gospel of Matthew 26:36–46, explores the difficult reality of following God's will when it conflicts with personal desire. Using Jesus' experience in the Garden of Gethsemane, it challenges the misconception that obedience to God always feels natural or desirable. Instead, it shows that some of the most significant moments of faith occur in tension—when obedience is costly, painful, or unwanted. In Gethsemane, Jesus models raw honesty (“I don't want this”), complete surrender (“not my will, but Yours”), and decisive obedience (“let us go”), revealing that struggle is not a lack of faith but part of faithful living. The passage also contrasts human weakness—seen in the disciples' inability to stay awake and pray—with Jesus' strength, which was formed through prayer and submission. Ultimately, the message emphasizes that following Jesus involves a process: bringing our real emotions to God, choosing His will even when it's hard, and taking action in obedience. The takeaway is a personal challenge to identify areas of resistance, lean into prayer, and take one concrete step of obedience, trusting that God produces growth and purpose even through seasons of pressure and surrender.

Program for 04/14/26 SAS Chapel: Matthew 26:1-16

“He went on a little farther and bowed with his face to the ground, praying, ‘My Father! If it is possible, let this cup of suffering be taken away from me. Yet I want your will to be done, not mine.’” (Matthew 26:39 NLT) Just before He was arrested, put on trial, and crucified, Jesus went to the Garden of Gethsemane to pray. He chose to spend the time He had left in conversation with His Father. That conversation, as recorded in the Gospels, is unlike any other in Scripture. First, there’s the matter of what Jesus asked God to do. “My Father! If it is possible, let this cup of suffering be taken away from me” (Matthew 26:39 NLT). In essence, He was asking His heavenly Father if there was any other way for the work of salvation to be accomplished. His request points to the enormous suffering involved in Jesus’ sacrifice. Jesus knew what was coming: physical, emotional, and spiritual agony beyond measure. And He wanted to make sure that it was absolutely necessary. With that in mind, however, we must understand that the first part of Jesus’ prayer cannot be separated from the second part. The reality is that God said no to His Son’s request because there was no other way for the work of salvation to be accomplished. A perfect sacrifice was required. If Jesus’ prayer had been only that God remove the cup of suffering from Him, the events that followed would have been cast in a different light. Jesus would have been a reluctant participant in the crucifixion, trapped by God’s refusal to excuse Him from becoming a sacrifice. But that’s not what happened because Jesus’ request was followed by these words: “Yet I want your will to be done, not mine” (Matthew 26:39 NLT). And those same ten words (or some variation of them) must accompany every sincere prayer that believers offer. It isn’t just a matter of saying, “If You want to do it Your way, go ahead.” It’s a heartfelt acknowledgment that nothing else is more perfect than God’s will. Nothing else can surpass its wisdom. Nothing else can bring ultimate fulfillment and good. Praying these words is a way of embracing the truth that God’s will is more important than our preferences, our comfort, or even our well-being. The Bible’s promises regarding prayer are exciting. But we should never mistake them for a wish list or an opportunity to get our way. When we embrace and actively seek God’s will, we get a front-row seat to His work in the world. Maybe you’re at a crisis point in your life right now—a personal Gethsemane, if you will. You have your will; you know what you want. Yet you can sense that God’s will is different. Would you let the Lord choose for you? Would you be willing to say, “Lord, I am submitting my will to Yours. Not my will, but Yours be done”? You will never, never regret making that decision. Reflection question: How might praying for God’s will change your perspective on a situation in your life right now?

“He took Peter and Zebedee’s two sons, James and John, and he became anguished and distressed. He told them, ‘My soul is crushed with grief to the point of death. Stay here and keep watch with me.’” (Matthew 26:37–38 NLT) Jesus was fully God and fully human. Because He was fully human, He had the same needs that other people have. He enjoyed the same things that other people enjoy, including companionship. He surrounded Himself with disciples not just so that He could teach and prepare them for ministry, but also because He enjoyed their companionship. He found comfort and pleasure in interacting with them. When Jesus retreated to the Garden of Gethsemane before He was arrested, He brought along His closest friends. And He made a simple request of them. “My soul is crushed with grief to the point of death. Stay here and keep watch with me” (Matthew 26:38 NLT). Actually, it was more of an opportunity than a request. Jesus was giving them a chance to play a role in God’s plan. Maybe if His companions had recognized the opportunity embedded in the request, they would have been more diligent in carrying out Jesus’ instructions. Instead, they gave in to their physical desire and fell asleep. It wasn’t the first time. Matthew 17:1–13 records the story of the Transfiguration, in which Jesus led Peter, James, and John up a mountain so that they could see Him in His glory. On the mountain, Moses and Elijah appeared to them. “As Moses and Elijah were starting to leave, Peter, not even knowing what he was saying, blurted out, ‘Master, it’s wonderful for us to be here! Let’s make three shelters as memorials—one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah’” (Luke 9:33 NLT). The previous verse explains why he suddenly spouted such nonsense. “Peter and the others had fallen asleep” (Luke 9:32 NLT). Imagine what else Peter might have witnessed had he been fully awake and watchful at the Transfiguration and in the Garden of Gethsemane. It makes me wonder how much we miss out on because of our spiritual slumber. How often are we spiritually slumbering when God wants to speak to us through His Word? How often are we spiritually slumbering instead of opening our hearts to a message at church? How often are we spiritually slumbering when the Lord would want us to speak up for Him? Staying awake, spiritually speaking, means directing our gaze toward the things of God—the things that matter. Look at the words of the psalmist in Psalm 119:37: “Turn my eyes from worthless things, and give me life through your word” (NLT). Like the disciples, we, too, can miss out on what God wants to do in and through us. So, we need to be awake, alert, and paying attention. Good things happen to those who keep their spiritual eyes open. Reflection question: What would spiritual slumber look like in your life?
