For the Rest of Eternity: Don't Let This Life Steal the Next One

Jeremiah Ramer - 2/8/2026

On Football Sunday — Crossroads' annual Super Bowl weekend outreach event — Pastor Jeremiah delivered a focused, evangelistic message built around a simple but arresting prop: a long rope with a short red section representing a human lifespan against the backdrop of eternity. Drawing from Romans 5 and 8, and weaving in the testimonies of NFL players Dawson Knox and Justin Simmons, he made the case that the suffering and tragedy of this life are real — but they must not be allowed to steal an eternity. The message was direct and pastoral at once: don't let church hurt, a broken marriage, or addiction become the reason you reject the one relationship that outlasts all of them. Do you sense God speaking to you? Come home.
