Matthew 19:14-15 The enemy has successfully robbed the child like innocence from the lives of believers. An innocence that ...read more

Introduction: False prophets didn’t die out when all Israel was carried off to captivity. At least two are mentioned by name, plus there was an unspecified group of other false prophets. All of them had one common goal, though, and that was to get Nehemiah discouraged, or as he put it, “[they] ...read more

What Are The Odds? Youth Sermon

Contributed by Youth Sermons on Oct 3, 2023
