Siham Qandah, A Jordanian widow risked losing her beloved children rather than give up her faith in Jesus Christ. Why was she willing to take such a dangerous stand?
This sermon examines that question, it is also a contemplation of the foolishness of living to please men or fearing them more than God, and an exhortation to instead follow Christ as Siham did, regardless of the cost in this present evil age.
