Here are some reflection questions for you, your family, C-groups or friends to help you process, discuss and apply this Sundays message.​​

​

• Pastor Chris mentioned that 'you don't build surrender in crisis, you reveal it.' What does this mean to you, and how does regular prayer and spiritual discipline prepare us for difficult moments?

• Jesus prayed 'Father, if you are willing, take this cup from me, yet not my will, but yours be done.' How does this prayer model help us when we're facing our own difficult decisions?

• What are some 'Gethsemane moments' you've experienced where obedience collided with comfort? How did you handle those situations?

• The sermon mentioned that Gethsemane moments are often the loneliest moments. Why do you think this is true, and how can we support others going through difficult seasons?

• Jesus experienced hematidrosis (sweating blood) due to extreme stress, yet he still chose obedience. What does this teach us about faith and following through with God's will even when we're anxious?

• How do we distinguish between God's will and our own desires when making difficult decisions? What practical steps can help us discern God's direction?

• The disciples fell asleep when Jesus asked them to pray. How can we be better friends and supporters to those going through their own 'garden' experiences?

• What's one area in your life right now where God might be calling you to choose the 'hard yes' over the 'easy no'?
