Summary

Jesus stares straight at the crowd—and straight at us—and asks the question none of us want to answer: “Why did you really come here today?” To feel better? To look spiritual? Or because you’re finally tired of the lies, the hypocrisy, and the shallow game we all play? If you’ve ever wondered whether church is just another performance, or if Jesus is actually dangerous enough to expose and save you at the same time, this sermon will confront you, cut you, and—if you don’t turn away—lift you into the staggering joy that even the least in His kingdom is greater than John the Baptist. Listen at your own risk. The dead are being raised, and you might be one of them. Stay Connected: Follow Pastor Dell on X at https://x.com/jakedell73 .
