Satan Uses Religion

Sermon – When Following Jesus Gets Hard

Contributed by Otis Mcmillan on Aug 20, 2024

This simple plain teaching of Jesus was too much to bear. Rather than change their minds, they walk away. This is the fundamental reason people reject Jesus Christ: He doesn't coordinate with their own selfish interests.

Sermon – When Following Jesus Gets Hard Scripture - John 6:66-69 “At this point many of his disciples turned away and deserted him. Then Jesus turned to the Twelve and asked, “Are you also going to leave?” Simon Peter replied, “Lord, to whom would we go? You have the words that give eternal life. ...read more

Psalm 22 reveals honest lament, prophetic suffering, and Christ’s redeeming victory, transforming our deepest “why?” into confident praise through His finished work.

Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Feb 18, 2025

Today we begin a new series in the book of Lamentations. So few people read and study this amazing book written by Jeremiah after the fall of Jerusalem and Judah. It is a sad book dealing with the nation’s sorrow and sin that caused it. It is most informative.

THE BOOK OF LAMENTATIONS – PART 1 – JUDAH HAS FALLEN IN WEEPING – CHAPTER 1:1-3 One of the least studied books of the bible is Lamentations, or more fittingly, “The Lamentations of Jeremiah”, for the prophet pours out his heart in lament at what has befallen Jerusalem and Judah.
