Dan Stribling preaches the hidden truth of Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane (Mark 14:32-42). Facing the crushing cup of God's wrath, sweating blood in agony, He prays "Abba, Father... not what I will, but what You will." Discover how Gethsemane reveals prayer, submission, and resolved obedience for your mission. Fourth sermon in March on Mission Easter series.

Dan Stribling, new Senior Minister at First Christian Church of Brazil, IN, delivers a powerful message on one of the most intense moments in Jesus' life—the Garden of Gethsemane. In Mark 14:32-42, Jesus confronts overwhelming distress, falls to the ground, and prays honestly about the "cup" of suffering and divine wrath He must drink for our sins. Yet He submits: "Not what I will, but what You will."

This Easter sermon explores:

The meaning of Gethsemane ("olive press") and Jesus' crushing anguish (including the medical reality of hematidrosis—sweating blood).

Why the cup represents far more than physical pain—it's God's wrath against sin.

The intimate "Abba, Father" cry and how Jesus models bringing desires to God while prioritizing His will.

Contrast with the sleeping disciples: willing spirits but weak flesh—why preparation through watchfulness and prayer matters.

Dietrich Bonhoeffer's example of costly obedience during WWII.

Your own "cup": What costly step of forgiveness, calling, or surrender is God asking you to trust Him with?

True submission leads to decisive obedience. The mission isn't accomplished through comfortable lives, but surrendered ones. If there's no Gethsemane, there's no Calvary or resurrection!
