Why Jesus Had To Suffer Series

Contributed by Scott Maze on May 1, 2024

Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Jul 2, 2024

Idols are appealing when we become afraid. If we're unsure about God, we go elsewhere. God through his prophet says, "No need for idols. I will help." Yahweh is a far better choice than any idol.
