About this episode

Have you ever felt locked out—disqualified, distant from God, or like you couldn’t find your way back to Him?

In this sermon, Pastor Mark Ivey tells the story of the greatest lockout in history—when sin shut humanity out of the presence of God. But through Jesus, the veil was torn, and what was once blocked is now open.

From Genesis 3 to the crucifixion, Pastor Mark Ivey walks us through how the presence of God was hidden behind a veil for thousands of years… until Jesus cried out, “It is finished.”

✝️ When Jesus died, the veil was torn—from top to bottom.
🗝 The lock was broken.
🚪 And the way was made clear.

📖 Scripture Focus:
Genesis 3
Exodus 34
Hebrews 10
Matthew 27

🎯 In this message, you’ll discover:
Why the veil was necessary—and why it had to go
What your access to God means today
How to hold on when everything says give up
The real reason religion hates the cross
