Standing in the courtyard on the night of Jesus’ arrest, Peter faces a trial of his own. While Jesus speaks boldly before powerful leaders, Peter struggles with fear and denial beside a charcoal fire. This message explores the contrast between failure and faithfulness and reminds us that the grace of Jesus is always greater than our worst moments.

In the garden, Jesus does not run. He steps forward. As betrayal unfolds, we see both his power and his restraint, and we are confronted with a deeper question: who is really responsible for the cross? This message explores how the story of Jesus’ arrest begins not in sin or chaos, but in the love of God that moves toward us even in our darkest places.

Before the cross, there was a prayer. On the night before His betrayal, Jesus lifted His disciples and all future believers to the Father in John 17. As we begin Lent, we are invited to discover that Christ not only prayed for us then, but continues to intercede for us now — calling us to live out His prayer in unity, holiness, love, and mission.

Ash Wednesday marks the beginning of Lent—a season of reflection, repentance, and renewal. Lent isn’t just about giving something up—it’s about turning toward Jesus, making room for Him in our lives, and remembering that God is always calling us home.
