This passage gives us a front row seat to the second phase of Jesus trial, revealing a governor wrestling with authority, a criminal walking free, and a Saviour stepping into our place with breathtaking love.

We explore the pattern of the gospel in one unforgettable moment. We look honestly at our need, we look joyfully at Jesus sacrifice, and we look hopefully at the freedom that is now offered to every one of us. You will see how Pilate shows the struggle for courage, how Barabbas mirrors our own story, how Jesus silence shines brighter than any defence, and how the great exchange at the cross transforms the way we live today.

You are invited to lean in, reflect deeply, and let the truth settle into your heart. Jesus took our place so that we could take our place as sons and daughters of God. There is courage for you, freedom for you, and grace for you in this message. You are Barabbas, but by the kindness of Christ, you are Barabbas set free.

Join us for a moving and faith stirring message from Adrian Horner as he encourages us with a fresh reminder of identity, promise, and purpose. Drawing from the parable of the wheat and the weeds and the story of Jabez, Adrian speaks into what it means to be a planting of the Lord, called to carry his blessing and display his splendor.

Adrian also brought a time of personal prophetic ministry later in the gathering, and for the privacy of those involved that part of the meeting has not been included in this recording. What you will hear is the full teaching and corporate encouragement that prepared the way for that ministry time.

If you are longing for renewed hope, deeper confidence in God’s promises, or a fresh sense of calling, this message will lift your heart and strengthen your faith.

In this message, we journey through one of the most heartbreaking and beautiful moments in Scripture. From Judas’ kiss of betrayal to Peter’s tears of denial, we see both the frailty of human hearts and the faithfulness of our Savior.

Even when Jesus was betrayed by a friend, abandoned by his followers, and denied by one of his closest disciples, he remained steadfast, obedient, and full of grace.

Through The Arrest, The Confession, and The Denial, we’ll discover that when everyone else walks away, Jesus still moves toward us with love and mercy.

Whether you’re feeling far from God or simply need a reminder of his unshakable love, this message will help you draw close again.

Don’t follow Jesus at a distance. Step close. Be all in.

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.”

As we journey through Mark 14:12–25, we discover that Jesus didn’t just celebrate Passover, He fulfilled it. He established a new covenant through His own blood, bringing us forgiveness, healing, deliverance, and victory.

✨ Key truths from this message:

Jesus is in control – Even in His final hours, He orchestrated every detail of the Passover.

Jesus is the suffering Son of Man – His betrayal and suffering were not defeat, but divine design.

Jesus is the true Passover Lamb – His blood doesn’t just cover sin, it removes it completely.

When we apply the blood of Jesus to our lives, fear passes over, guilt passes over, condemnation passes over. The enemy has no claim where the blood has been applied.

We are not fighting for victory, but from victory. The cross has already won it all.

So today, live under the power of that blood, knowing that the Lamb who was slain is now the Lamb who reigns!

🩸 The blood still speaks forgiveness, healing, and victory—today.

🙏 Prayer:

“Lord Jesus, thank You for Your blood that speaks a better word. Help us to live in the power of Your finished work and to walk daily in the victory You have already won.”
