Failure, Forgiveness, and a Fresh Start. Like Peter in Matthew 26, we will all fail in some way as followers of Jesus. But God is faithful and in Jesus we are offered forgiveness and a fresh start!

Garden to Garden 2 We dive into Matthew 26 and take a look at: "The Most Backward Day in History." We've all had days when things seem to go in the opposite way that we thought they should. But no day was ever more "backward" than the day Jesus was betrayed. What appeared to be a tragedy-the betrayal in the Garden of Gethsemane and the events that followed-was actually part of God's sovereign plan to rescue sinners and restore creation.

Garden to Garden: Part 1 We begin to journey with Jesus from the Garden of Gethsemane where He was pressed out in sorrow, to the Garden Tomb where He was raised up in victory. In Gethsemane, Jesus faced immense pressure, and the way He endured it not only paved the way for His saving work on the cross but also serves as a powerful example for us in navigating life's most challenging moments.” http://yourgracelife.com/resources

In the beginning...

"Failures, Faithfulness, and the Power to Change." Epic failures. We've all experienced them. In Matthew 26 the stage is set for those closest to Jesus to epically fail Him. But the good news is that Jesus is always faithful and ready to provide grace to forgive and power to transform our lives.

In the final hours of Jesus' life, He transforms the meaning of the Passover meal, moving from an old covenant based on law to a new covenant rooted in grace. This change signifies a profound shift in our relationship with God, where the focus is no longer on outward obedience but on the transformation of the heart through faith in Jesus. The symbols of the bread and wine during the Lord’s Supper represent Jesus' body and blood, emphasizing His sacrifice for the forgiveness of sins and the establishment of a covenant accessible to all humanity. As believers, we are called to remember and celebrate this new covenant until Christ's return, recognizing that true transformation comes from trusting in Him rather than our own efforts.

He has promised to make all things new.
