Praying In The Garden - Sermon 6th April, 2025
How do you handle your most difficult struggles? This Sunday, we continue our Gospel of Mark series with Pastor Paul Cunningham's sermon, "Praying in the Garden," based on Mark 14:32-42. As Jesus enters Gethsemane, overwhelmed with sorrow, He turns to the Father in prayer, surrendering to His will. In our own trials, do we seek God first or try to bear the weight alone? Jesus shows us that prayer is our greatest source of strength, even in the darkest moments. Be encouraged in faith and join us this Sunday!
Questions to consider:
- How does the “suffering” of Jesus in the garden impact your understanding of what he did for you on the cross?
- Is there a situation you are facing where you need to be praying for God to help you get “through” it?
We want to connect with you! Email Pastor Chad at chadf@ljpres.org to get plugged in or you can find our website at ljpres.org/connect. We hope to see lives transformed by a relationship with Jesus, and we strive to be a place where you experience and are able to express that transforming love of Christ.
It builds our faith to help give back a portion of what God has given us. If you would like to help further His work in La Jolla, San Diego and the world you can give online at LJPres.org/Donate.
