089 - Gospel of Matthew (Matthew 26:36-56)

Jesus went with his eleven disciples (Judas had been dismissed) to the Garden of Gethsemane to pray. The name means the Garden of the Olive Press, or the Garden of Intense Pressure. That is what Jesus was facing as the cross and all that it meant was before him. Yet he prayed the prayer we must echo - "No my will, but yours alone God." This sermon speaks of that time of pressure and how we can face pressure in life by submitting to God.
