Matthew 26: 36-46 ”Confronting Trials”

Sermon date: 1/22/2023

Jesus spends time praying to God in the garden of Gethsemane in these passages and asks His Father to take this suffering away from Him.  We learn that Jesus the man did not want to experience this suffering and separation from His Father, it was a struggle between His flesh and His divine being.  During this time, He wanted His friends with Him.

Pastor Anthony points out that we need to share our burdens with each other and to lean on God, we need to realize that no believer is ever alone.  Sometimes God answers our prayers and if He doesn’t, He gives us the strength to face a trial.
