When Darkness Comes

In Luke 22:47-53, Jesus is arrested in the Garden of Gethsemane after being betrayed by Judas. Surrounded by a large crowd armed with swords and clubs, Jesus remains completely in control of the situation.This message looks at Judas and the danger of outward religious activity without genuine faith, Peter's attempt to fight for Jesus with a sword, and the reality that Christ's kingdom is not built through earthly power.Even in what appears to be an hour of darkness, God is still in control. What Satan and sinful men intended for evil, God used to accomplish His plan of salvation through Jesus Christ.This message challenges us to examine our own faith, trust in God's sovereignty, and remember that no amount of evil can stop the purposes of God.Visit calvaryconway.com to learn more about Calvary Missionary Baptist Church and find more sermons and resources.
