Welcome to Calvary's Online Campus!

In this teaching, we explore the biblical approach to suffering through the lens of Jesus' experience in the Garden of Gethsemane (Matthew 26:36-45). Everyone faces seasons of suffering—from minor inconveniences to devastating losses—and Jesus provides us with a blueprint for how to navigate these difficult times with faith and grace.

Key Points:
1. How Jesus demonstrated vulnerability by leaning on his closest friends during his darkest hour
2. Why true community is essential to the Christian experience of suffering
3. The importance of honest prayer that acknowledges our pain while surrendering to God's will
4. Practical strategies for resisting temptation during times of weakness
5. Understanding God's sovereignty and goodness even in the midst of our suffering

This message reminds us that it's okay to not be okay—Jesus himself experienced deep sorrow. But we're also called to face our trials with the confidence that God is both sovereign and good, working all things together for good for those who love Him (Romans 8:28).

Whether you're currently walking through the valley of the shadow of death or preparing for future hardships, this teaching offers biblical wisdom and practical guidance for suffering well.

We pray that you are blessed by the message!
