Roadside Faith: A Cry Of Desperation

Sep 13, 2026  •  Sr. Pastor Keno Smith

What does it take to stop Jesus in his tracks? In Mark 10, amidst the bustling Passover crowds, on the road from Jericho, one voice cut through all the noise. A blind beggar named Bartimaeus. Pushed to the side of the road and told by the crowd to keep quiet, he chose to cry out anyway. In this episode of Temple Time, Pastor Keno kicks off a powerful new series: Roadside Faith. Looking closely at the first vital step towards freedom: a cry of desperation. What happens when your faith refuses to stay silent? How do pride and fear of what others think keep us trapped in our own brokenness? Bartimaeus couldn't see with his eyes, yet he recognized the Savior with stunning clarity.

Tune in as we uncover what it truly means to drop your pride, voice your need, and discover that the roadside was never meant to be your final destinatio
