Give Sin a Name: Things Unseen with Sinclair B Ferguson
Pastor Sinclair Ferguson began a new podcast titled, Things Unseen in 2024. Each episode is 4-6 minutes in length. This post contains the episode of 1-19-24 and a link to the other 14 messages he has thus far aired. I got my post of yesterday, John Newton’s hymn, via a reference he made to search the hymn.

Curtis lays out the case that the globalists are all communists. While many believe they are different, Curtis shows why they are not. Every major communist dictator of the last 100+ years was put in power, funded, and protected by the global elites. Every anti-American, anti-freedom cause or movement today is funded by these same tyrants, including COVID-19, Climate change, chem-trails, open borders, fraudulent elections, fake news, Marxist Universities, toxic medications, mutilation of our children, weaponization of justice, the destruction of the family, and the Great Reset….
Proclaiming The Gospel (to Roman Catholics) – Mike Gendron
It has been said that the Gospel is so simple that a young child can hear it, understand it and believe it, yet so profound that a theologian can spend a lifetime studying its glorious transcendent truths.
