God’s Will Over My Will (Mark 14:26–42)

When Jesus prayed in Gethsemane, He showed us the truest picture of surrender. Before He gave His life, He gave His will.

In this message, Ben unpacks one of the most moving moments in Scripture, where Jesus wrestles, prays, and ultimately submits to the Father’s plan. We discover that real faith is not about willpower or inner strength, but about total surrender to God’s will.

When Peter tried to stand in his own strength, he fell. When Jesus knelt in surrender, He stood victorious.

Maybe you’re walking through your own Gethsemane—a season of pressure, confusion, or pain. This message reminds us that God’s will may not always be easy, but it is always redemptive.

Key points:

1. The Failure of Human Will (Mark 14:26–31)

2. The Surrender of Jesus’ Will (Mark 14:32–42)

3. The Faithfulness of God’s Will

Big Idea:

Obedience to God’s will is not about inner strength, but total surrender.

Let’s be a people who, even when pressed and weary, pray as Jesus prayed, “Not my will, but Yours be done.”
