Road Side Faith: The Call of Invitation

Sep 20, 2026  •  Sr. Pastor Keno Smith

When Jesus stops in the middle of a bustling crowd and calls your name, what are you willing to leave behind? In this episode of Temple Time, Pastor Keno continues the Roadside Faith series with part two, The Call of Invitation. Focusing on Mark 10:49-50, we explore the astonishing moment Jesus commands the very crowd that silenced Bartimaeus to call him forward. But it's what Bartimaeus does next that reveals true faith. He throws off his cloak, his license to beg, his warmth, and his entire identity before he ever receives his sight. Are you holding on to old comforts, past labels, or the pity of others while asking God for a miracle? Tune in as we examine why stepping into your divine future requires letting go of what you used to be. Discover the freedom of casting aside your spiritual crutches to answer the Savior's call with bold, expectant surrender, because you cannot carry your old self into your new life.
