Summary
In this message, we explore one of the most powerful moments in Scripture: Jesus standing before His accusers in complete silence. While false witnesses lied about Him, while they spit on Him and beat Him, Jesus said nothing. His silence wasn’t weakness—it was strength, trust, and love.
We live in a world that tells us to defend ourselves, to speak up, to fight back. But what if God is calling you to be still? What if the most powerful thing you could do right now is trust Him to fight for you?
In this episode, we unpack Matthew 26:57-67 and discover why Jesus was silent, why being still is so hard for us, and how we can find the power to be still in our own lives. From the Israelites at the Red Sea to Jesus before the Sanhedrin, we see a consistent theme: the Lord will fight for you, and you have only to be silent.
This message will challenge you to examine your own heart. When are you speaking when you should be still? What are you trying to control that you need to surrender? And how can you find healing by letting go and trusting God’s timing?
Join us as we learn what it means to truly be still and know that He is God.

| 0:38.7 | Before we dive in, I want to ask you, is there a place in your life right now where God is asking you to just be still? Maybe it's a situation where you're tempted to defend yourself, to speak up, |
| 0:44.7 | or to take control. Well, as you listen today, ask the Holy Spirit to reveal where he's calling |

| 1:30.5 | Now the chief priest in the Holshedron kept trying to obtain false testimony against Jesus so that they might put him to death. |
