Jesus in the Garden

In this powerful message, Pastor Zach takes us into the "Oil Press" of Gethsemane to reveal the staggering weight of the moment Jesus faced before the cross. Drawing from the "Law of First Mention," Pastor Zach connects the ancient role of the Cupbearer in Genesis to the ultimate Cupbearer, Jesus Christ, who stood between a Holy God and a fallen humanity. We explore the vivid, terrifying reality of the "Cup of Wrath"—a vessel filled not with a "slushie" of sweet disaster, but with the concentrated fury of God against every rebellion, lie, and secret sin in human history. While the disciples succumbed to a "moral coma" and slept through the battle, Jesus stayed awake in the crushing pressure of the Garden to drink the cup down to its very dregs. Join Pastor Zach as he reminds us that we no longer have to fear the judgment we earned, because Jesus drank the cup of God’s wrath that had been poured for us.
