I Don’t Want To (But I Will)
By: Troy Burns
Series: On Your Mark... Go!
Along with our children's Christmas program, Troy brings a message from Mark that centers around Jesus in the garden, right before His arrest and crucifixion. We discover that on a human level, Jesus did not want to go through the punishment and suffering He was about to endure, but we also see that He submitted to God's will, no matter what His own desires were. And that’s the best way for each one of us to live our lives as well.

Go!As Albert Schweitzer found out, despite his many talents and personal accomplishments, "Every person I know who has been truly happy has learned how to serve others." What Schweitzer discovered was something Jesus taught a long time before that. Jesus did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life as a ransom for many. He also instructed us to do the same, which leads us to a much greater joy and fulfillment than we could ever have by serving ourselves first.
