John's Temporary Tomb
Matthew 14:1-12 |Transcription: So I was wrestling through what to preach this morning. Not that I was wrestling through it this morning, but, Pastor Ryan told me, you know, one of the joys of being Protestant is you can just preach the next verse. And so, we'll be in Matthew 14 this morning, which is the martyrdom of John the Baptist, but it is a very appropriate story for Easter Sunday. It was about a year ago when I started a study on John the Baptist. If you remember, we

Stories that Terrify: The Great Fisher for Men
Matthew 13:47-52 |Transcription: Matthew 13 verse 47, Jesus says, again, the kingdom of heaven is like a net that was thrown into the sea and gathered fish of every kind. When it was full, the men drew to shore and sat down and sorted the good into containers and threw the bad away. So it'll be at the close of the age the angels will come out and separate the evil from the righteous, Throw them into the fiery furnace. In that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
