17-Aug-2026
The only perfect human ever to walk this earth was rejected by those who knew Him, those who lived in His town, and those He called family. Time and time again, Jesus proclaimed the truth of the gospel that most certainly offends those with a sinful nature problem. Listen this week as Pastor John highlights the painful division many of us are experiencing among friends and family, leaving us to ponder such biblical truth that our faith family is more precious to us than our blood family. Just as Jesus was never interested in setting the story straight when He was rejected, Pastor John encourages believers to hold tight to the faith of Jesus Christ, never straying from the mission ahead of us by looking behind us for any man's approval and acceptance. Only the infinite love of Jesus can empower believers to love and serve more freely to those who have hurt us or rejected us!
