2019 - 03 - 31 Lessons Learned The Hard Way By The Rev Peter Moore.WAV

This sermon by the Rev. Peter Moore was given at Greenfield Presbyterian Church, Berkley, MI. Based on Scripture taken from the New Revised Standard Version of the Holy Bible. Luke 22:39-46 Jesus Prays on the Mount of Olives 39 He came out and went, as was his custom, to the Mount of Olives; and the disciples followed him. 40 When he reached the place, he said to them, “Pray that you may not come into the time of trial.”[a] 41 Then he withdrew from them about a stone’s throw, knelt down, and prayed, 42 “Father, if you are willing, remove this cup from me; yet, not my will but yours be done.” [[43 Then an angel from heaven appeared to him and gave him strength. 44 In his anguish he prayed more earnestly, and his sweat became like great drops of blood falling down on the ground.]][b] 45 When he got up from prayer, he came to the disciples and found them sleeping because of grief, 46 and he said to them, “Why are you sleeping? Get up and pray that you may not come into the time of trial.”[c] Footnotes: [a] Luke 22:40 Or into temptation [b] Luke 22:44 Other ancient authorities lack verses 43 and 44 [c] Luke 22:46 Or into temptation
