Old paths vs my way image

They TRIED to Tell Us!

Published:  12-28-2025

God has never left His people without a warning. In Jeremiah 6:16, the Lord calls us to stand, see, ask for the old paths, find the good way, and walk in it. His promise is clear. Rest for your soul follows obedience. Yet the reply from a rebellious people is just as clear. “We will not walk therein.”

In this message, Pastor Gary Caudill opens the Bible and presses one burden. God’s “old paths” are not a throwback to culture, tradition, or personal preference. They are God’s eternal ways. Truth that was settled long before our opinions. When a nation ignores that truth, consequences follow. When a church gets casual with sin, the power fades. When believers stop repenting, boldness dries up.

This sermon is a call to get honest, get back to Scripture, and get back to the fear of God. It names what the Word names, and it points straight to the hope God still offers. There is still time to humble ourselves, pray, seek His face, and turn. God can forgive. God can heal. God can revive.

Listen below and let the Lord speak to your heart.
