<\/iframe>\n<\/p><p>The above sermon will shake you to the core. Tope didn\u2019t mention those who have recently been denying hell by name, but his disagreement with them could not have been clearer. This is a compassionate yet very direct sermon on a painful but important subject. It was my delight to pray with someone at the end who wanted to become a Christian, and I know there were others. But perhaps the real targets were people like me. People who theologically believe this teaching but don\u2019t live as though it was true.
