In this sermon, the preacher focuses on the passage in Mark 14:33-42 where Jesus is in the Garden of Gethsemane. Jesus expresses his deep distress and sorrow to his disciples and asks them to stay and pray while he goes a little further to pray. The preacher emphasizes the importance of not neglecting one's prayer life and warns against falling into temptation. He also highlights the process of falling into sin, stating that it usually starts with neglecting prayer and gradually leads to denying Jesus in actions rather than words. The sermon concludes with a reminder to beware of boasting in oneself and to take heed to the teachings of the Bible to avoid drifting away from God.

In this sermon, the preacher emphasizes the importance of not trusting in our own feelings but in God who raises the dead. He encourages believers to live by faith rather than by their emotions. The preacher shares a story of a man who was an alcoholic for 37 years but was able to quit drinking through the power of Christ. Despite presenting the gospel to him, the man was not interested in receiving Christ. The preacher also shares a personal experience of visiting a hospital and feeling discouraged, but still choosing to fulfill his duty as a pastor.

John Nelson Darby emphasizes the dual nature of Christ's sufferings in Mark 14, highlighting both the rejection He faced from humanity and the profound agony of bearing God's wrath for our sins. He urges listeners to recognize the gravity of sin, which caused Jesus to be 'sore amazed' and 'very heavy' in Gethsemane, and to understand that indifference to this suffering reflects a hardened conscience. Darby calls for a heartfelt acknowledgment of the love and sacrifice of Jesus, reminding us that our sins were the reason for His suffering and that we must confront our own state before God. He illustrates the depth of Christ's love and the necessity of His suffering for our salvation, encouraging believers to appreciate the cost of their redemption. Ultimately, he challenges the audience to either embrace the grace of Christ's sacrifice or face the consequences of their indifference.
