What does John 18:1–11 reveal about Jesus when everything looks out of control? In this powerful sermon, we see that Jesus is not a victim—but fully sovereign over His suffering. In How To Survive Suffering, Pastor Bogdan Kipko walks verse-by-verse through John 18:1–11 and uncovers a stunning truth: even in the moment of His arrest, Jesus is completely in control. From the garden of Gethsemane to the betrayal of Judas, this message highlights three powerful movements—Jesus steps forward, Jesus stands in our place, and Jesus surrenders to the Father. 

You’ll see how the story of Scripture moves from one garden (Eden) to another (Gethsemane), and ultimately to the restoration of all things. This sermon also addresses real-life suffering—those moments when life feels uncertain, painful, or overwhelming—and shows how the sovereignty of Jesus gives us unshakable hope.
