WetMore Summer Series: What Prevents? - Ken Wetmore

In Acts 8, the Ethiopian official asks, “What prevents me from being baptized?” It’s a question that still speaks today. What’s holding you back from taking your next step—whether it’s baptism, sharing Jesus, or simply saying yes to God’s call?

BONUS: Ken Reads A Story - Go Wash in the River

BY LISTENER REQUEST! Listen and enjoy as Ken reads a classic children's story in the world of Adventist literature from Book 3 of ‘My Bible Friends’ by Etta B. Degering. You can find the entire five-book set of My Bible Friends, each with four stories inside, here.

WetMore Summer Series: Precious Water

When David longed for a sip of water from his hometown well, three of his warriors risked everything to bring it to him. Instead of drinking it, David poured it out as an offering to God, recognizing the sacrifice behind the gift. This powerful message from 2 Samuel 23 shows us what true devotion, honor, and worship look like. Through stories of ancient heroes, biblical offerings, and reflections on freedom, we’re reminded to treasure the sacrifices made for us and be inspired to live sacrificially for others.
