Sermon Podcast - Eganville Baptist Church

Nearing the conclusion of his three years of earthly ministry, Jesus issues another strange request to His followers, by now they've learned to obey; have we?

Dead trees are used for kindling, dead churches are closed. What do we do when confronted with our own mortality? Do we resign ourselves to our fate? Or do we pray, seek the Lord's will and adapt?
