Sermon - Jim Andrews, Pastor
The Missing Piece
John 5:30-47
Word From the Pastor
People put forward many excuses for refusing to receive Jesus as their Savior. Strip those away and the real reason is the same today as it was from the beginning: they won’t hear Him because they don’t want to and they don’t want to because they have no desire for Him. No big mystery.
