Ever wondered what Jesus was really facing in the Garden of Gethsemane? It wasn’t just death—it was something infinitely heavier. In this powerful Bible study, we walk through Matthew 26:36-56, exploring Jesus’s darkest hour and the moment Judas betrayed him with a kiss.

What You’ll Discover:

* Why Jesus sweat drops of blood in the garden (and what that reveals about his humanity)

* The real meaning of “the cup” Jesus was about to drink

* How to actually fight temptation (watch AND pray—not just one or the other)

* Why Judas’s greeting was one of the most disrespectful acts in history

* What “speaking the truth in love” really means (and how it gets weaponized)

* Why Jesus didn’t call down 12 legions of angels to save himself

This Episode Addresses:

* The false teaching that Jesus didn’t have a real body

* Why your resolutions aren’t enough to keep you from falling away

* How Jesus empathizes with every weakness you face

* The weight of what Christ actually suffered for you

* Why the Garden of Gethsemane is called “the garden of crushing”

Ever thought you’d never betray Jesus? Peter thought the same thing. In this episode, we dive into one of the heaviest passages in Scripture—Judas’s betrayal, Peter’s denial, and the Last Supper. But here’s the uncomfortable truth: we’re all Judas. We all betray Jesus for way less than 30 pieces of silver.

From understanding the true meaning of the Lord’s Supper to wrestling with why Jesus’s blood wasn’t shed in vain, this message will challenge how you see your own faithfulness to Christ. We also unpack particular redemption, God’s sovereignty, and the security we have as believers.

In This Episode:

* The real reason Judas betrayed Jesus (and why we do it too)

* What the Last Supper actually means (it’s not transubstantiation)

* Why Peter denied Jesus four times, not three

* How small betrayals lead to bigger ones

* The security of Jesus’s finished work on the cross
