Have you ever wondered if your prayers, encouragement, and efforts to help someone are making any difference? You keep showing up. You keep praying. You keep sharing God's love. But the person you're trying to reach keeps making the same choices. Eventually, you begin to wonder whether your faithfulness matters.

In Burning the Scroll, the final message of our Burning Scrolls sermon series, Pastor Jason Barnett explores Jeremiah 36:20–26, where King Jehoiakim deliberately destroys God's written warning rather than responding to it.

What happens when God's Word is rejected? Does rejection mean we've failed? And how do we keep trusting God when our prayers seem unanswered and the people we love refuse to change?

Through a personal story from Army combat medic training, biblical teaching, and the hope found in Jesus Christ, this sermon explores the difference between being faithful and being responsible for someone else's response.

Whether you're praying for a struggling family member, walking alongside someone battling addiction, sharing your Christian faith, or simply feeling discouraged in your spiritual journey, this message offers biblical encouragement to keep trusting God's power.

We keep carrying God's Word because its power is never defeated.
