This morning's sermon is delivered by Rev. George Speers.
In this sermon on 1 Kings 13:1-10, the Reverend George Speers examines the confrontation between an unnamed prophet from Judah and King Jeroboam at Bethel, drawing out three themes: truth fearlessly proclaimed, truth clearly fulfilled, and truth gloriously defended. Along the way he weaves in historical examples of costly truth-telling, from Galileo and Semmelweis to Nehemiah and Polycarp of Smyrna, challenging listeners to proclaim God's word boldly and live without compromise. He closes with a direct appeal to repentance, warning against Jeroboam's fate of seeking God's help while refusing to turn from sin.
