Sister Deb Osborne begins a new series called "The Road to the Cross," exploring Jesus's journey toward crucifixion and resurrection. She examines the Garden of Gethsemane arrest narrative from John 18, revealing how Jesus maintained complete control throughout the entire ordeal despite appearing to surrender.

• Jesus knew exactly what would happen to Him and stepped forward willingly when soldiers came
• When Jesus said "I am He," the crowd of soldiers fell backward to the ground, demonstrating His power
• The garden was a place of fellowship and peaceful memories, making Judas's betrayal there even more poignant
• Peter tried to defend Jesus with a sword but was rebuked - Jesus was following God's plan
• All disciples failed Jesus - not just Judas's betrayal but also Peter's denial and everyone's flight
• Jesus orchestrated His own arrest at the divine appointed time, not when authorities wanted
• Jesus chose to save us rather than save Himself - the ultimate expression of sacrificial love

Join us next week as we continue "The Road to the Cross" series by exploring Jesus's trials.

Judgment is not about condemnation but about truth and discernment – the ability to make sensible conclusions and see reality as it truly is. This capacity for righteous judgment is a gift from God that allows us to navigate life with clarity and purpose.

• The moment we ask for forgiveness, we acknowledge God's judgment over our lives
• Without judgment, salvation would be impossible – Christ faced judgment for us as an act of love
• Many churches avoid uncomfortable truths while simultaneously condemning others
• True biblical judgment begins with self-examination, not criticism of others
• Society increasingly lives in fantasy rather than truth, twisting definitions to fit agendas
• Righteous judgment is the foundation – the mortar between the bricks – of our spiritual lives
• God is preparing believers to judge righteously during Christ's millennial reign
• Speaking truth about someone's spiritual condition is an act of love, not condemnation

If you're out there and don't know God, it doesn't matter where you are – just say "God, forgive me" and give Him a chance. Call upon the name of the Lord and you shall be saved. The Holy Spirit will guide you the rest of the way.

"The devil has been telling me I could kill myself since I was seven years old." With these haunting words, Elora Middleton begins her extraordinary testimony of survival, faith, and finding purpose through unimaginable pain. After losing her father to suicide as a child, Elora spent decades battling the same destructive thoughts, attempting to take her own life multiple times – even after becoming a mother. Yet something always stopped her.

What emerges from this raw conversation is a powerful story of divine intervention. Despite planning, preparing, and even attempting suicide on multiple occasions, Elora describes how God repeatedly prevented completion through unexpected circumstances or an unmistakable voice inside screaming "no." These weren't coincidences but evidence of God's unwavering presence even in her darkest moments.

Today, Elora manages a food pantry that distributes 600 boxes monthly throughout Harlan County, finding healing through helping others facing their own struggles. Her testimony illuminates how control became her coping mechanism after childhood chaos – creating mental checklists and trying to orchestrate every aspect of life until God gently taught her the freedom found in surrender.

Most powerfully, Elora speaks directly to listeners silently battling similar thoughts, emphasizing that having suicidal ideation doesn't make you less Christian or less loved by God. She creates a safe space for acknowledging these struggles without shame, offering hope that our deepest pain often becomes our most powerful ministry. For anyone walking through darkness, her message rings clear: God has not abandoned you, even when you've tried to abandon yourself.
