This Week’s Devotional (Mon–Fri)
Cherrydale Baptist Church | May 17, 2026
Sermon Title    Jesus Defeated Darkness
Speaker    Pastor Tom Oostdyk
Primary Passage    Matthew 26: 36-56

DAY  1

Gethsemane 

Pastor Reminder: In the garden, Jesus felt the weight of sorrow, yet he turned it into prayer before the Father. He did not turn aside from the path of obedience, but rested in the Father’s will. 

​

Matthew 26:36-39, Jesus prays in deep sorrow and submits to the Father.

​

💭 When fear rises in me, do I bring it honestly to the Father and trust his will?

​

🙏 Lord Jesus, teach me to pray with honesty and trust. Keep my heart near the Father when sorrow feels heavy.

​

✅ Try this today: Set one fixed time to pray quietly about one fear you are carrying. 

​

This is how your congregation could walk with Sunday throughout the week.
