Sharper Iron From Kfuo Radio

Rev. Tim Koch, pastor at Emanuel Lutheran Church in Milbank, SD, joins host Rev. Timothy Appel to study Mark 14:26-42. Even with His betrayal, suffering, and death looming, Jesus still sings with His disciples as they go to the Mount of Olives. He bluntly tells His disciples that they will all fall away, as the prophet Zechariah foretold. Peter responds selfishly, contending that he will not. Jesus reveals that Peter particularly will deny Him three times before the night is over, even as all the disciples protest their loyalty. When they reach Gethsemane, Jesus is greatly distressed and troubled; His entire being is sorrowful. He prays with trust in His Heavenly Father’s will. Jesus’ faithfulness stands in contrast to His inner circle, Peter, James, and John, who cannot stay awake with their Lord even for an hour. As His prayer concludes, Jesus is strengthened to face His suffering and death, which is now at hand. “The Gospel in Action” is a mini-series on Sharper Iron that goes through the Gospel accordin
