    Today our lesson begins with a divided kingdom; I want to preach about the Reign of two Kings, the Return of the Warrior and the Religion of the depraved.

    based on 1 rating

    We don't mind going to the cross as long as we can take a number of comfortable and convenient things along with us. Jesus does not call us to comfort. He calls us to die.

    This sermon looks at how we may have to choose between being a true Christian, or simply taking the path of convenience in our walk with the Lord. Jeroboam is the main character.
