Several days after a major earthquake that rocked Sikkim brought some death to Kathmandu, this message was preached to a crowd of more than a hundred in the open-air at Kathmandu's Ratna Park (September 23, 2011). Sandwiched between some introductory and concluding remarks in the Nepali language, Jesse Boyd preaches in English while Bishnu Shrestha translates into Nepali. This message is a warning of coming judgment and a call to repentance in a nation overrun with Hindu and Buddhist idolatry. At the conclusion of this message, more than 500 Gospel tracts and 200 Scripture portions were distributed in a matter of minutes.

This message was preached atop a large boulder in the Tambesa ghetto on the outskirts of Johannesburg, South Africa (June 23, 2011). Taken from Daniel 4, this message is an outcry against corrupt government in southern Africa and the foolishness of putting trust in politicians.

After more than a year out of America on the foreign mission field, this sermon was preached at the Belle Chere street festival in Asheville, NC on July 27, 2012. If you pay attention to the crowd in the background, you will see how people in America respond to the love of God as manifested in Jesus Christ. I dare say that Nepalis, Indians, and Bangladeshi Muslims would never act like this. But, proceed with caution. The audience discourse contains profanity, vulgarity, and some very disturbing language. Also, take note that the police were standing by and doing nothing.

This message was preached in Independence Square in Charlotte, NC at the corner of Trade & Tryon Streets. In that spot on May 20, 1775, the citizens of Mecklenburg County gathered together and declared their independence from the tyranny of Great Britain. This event influenced what took place more than a year later in Philadelphia on July 4, 1776. On this city corner, known as the "Cradle of American Liberty," Jesse Boyd preaches about the cradle of spiritual liberty which was also at a specific time and in a specific place in history: Calvary around 3:00pm, when the three hours of darkness were coming to an end and Jesus Christ cried "My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?"
