3 responses to Peter's failure in and around the Garden of Gethsemane

Kyle Cooper shares his experiences on his last mission trip to Liberia with Hope2. On this trip he relates to the Israelites as they experienced faith, failure, and following God.

Sometimes you find yourself in a desert place. Rest assured that God’s purpose isn’t to abandon you there, but to invite you to draw near and receive His provision.

Moses leads the Israelites out of Egypt

Sam Wrisley, Founder and President of our mission partner, Hope2 will be sharing the message in our Moses sermon series.

The Old Testament Passover lamb points to something much bigger – it is a sign of a greater act of redemption – the promise of true substitution. Hundreds of years later, John the Baptist sees Jesus and says, “Look, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!” (John 1:29). John the Baptist isn’t just coming up with a pithy metaphor, he is saying what was promised in the Passover has been fulfilled in Christ!

God is able. What a simple but profound promise. In over your head? God is able. Feel like you can’t break the chains of addiction? God is able. Stuck in a pattern of dysfunction? God is able. God still delivers from what seem to be impossible circumstances!

Have you ever had things seemingly go from bad to worse?  Have you ever found yourself hanging on to hope by a thread?  If so, the story of Exodus can inform your story today.

Moses was called to something beyond himself – certainly beyond his capacity. From time to time, you may find yourself in a circumstance that is beyond you. How have you responded in the past? How will you respond in the future? It was crucial for Moses to get his eyes off of himself on something else... on Someone else. We are invited to do the same!

his life can be divided into three chapters: The first third was an amazing success: Moses was adopted into the wealthiest family in Egypt. He had the best possible education. He was a skilled and decorated military leader. The middle third appears to be an incredible failure: A costly choice changed everything in the blink of an eye – he went from the palace to the pasture, from wealth to poverty, from freedom to felon, from a great future to a grim future. The first two chapters prepared Moses to be used in ways that he could not imagine – a burning bush, confronting Pharoah, crossing the Red Sea, leadership in the wilderness, the Ten Commandments – these things all happened over the last third of his life. What God was doing in the life of Moses - and what God often does in our lives - is take His time. It takes time to build character, and God isn’t always in a hurry.
