The Theatre of Glory | They Arrested God!
February 18, 2026

This week, we're releasing the first of a series of sermons from Darrell that correspond with Lent and the Easter season. This series was delivered by Darrell in 2015 at First Baptist Church in Vancouver and is called “The Theatre of Glory.”

Drawing on this phrase from John Calvin, Darrell invites us to see the final hours of Jesus’ life not merely as suffering, but as the decisive revelation of God’s glory, the weighty essence of who God truly is. Throughout the series, Darrell will explore John 18-19, lingering in the arrest, trial, and crucifixion to help us behold what John wants us to see: that the cross is not tragedy spiraling out of control, but glory fully and freely revealed.

In this first message, centred on John 18:1–12, we enter the garden where Jesus steps forward and declares, “I AM.” The soldiers fall back, and we glimpse the stunning mystery at the heart of the gospel: it is the great I AM who is being arrested.
