Proximity to the Savior: The Garden, The Trial & The Denial

This sermon explores the events leading up to Jesus' crucifixion, focusing on three types of people in proximity to Jesus: Judas (the unbeliever), The Pharisees (he religious elite), and Peter (the devoted disciple). It emphasizes that one's closeness to Jesus doesn't necessarily reflect true faith, and highlights the transformative power of the Gospel for all, regardless of their current spiritual state. The sermon underscores the importance of genuine faith, the danger of valuing institution over relationship with God, and the hope found in Christ's finished work at Calvary.
