You know faith is a lot like standing on a rock. If the ground beneath you is solid you're steady, but if it's loose or shifting every step feels uncertain. That's why we need to learn the Bible. Not casually but deeply, so what we believe is anchored, and unshakable. Today Pastor Ben will talk to you about building your life on the solid rock of scripture. In a world full of spiritual confusion God's word gives clarity and stability, and when you know it well you can explain your faith to others with confidence. Here's Pastor Ben in the Book of John chapter 1, as he begins his message “Jesus Has Always Been. He Is The True Light.”

When someone first accepts Christ it's a lot like planting a seed. We don't drop it in the soil and expect a full-grown tree by tomorrow. Growth takes time, watering, sunlight, and patience. Pastor Ben will share with you today that new believers are just beginning to take root in their faith. They won't have anything figured out overnight, and that's okay. God is nurturing them, shaping them day by day. Bringing life where there was none. You can and should give new Christians space to grow. Trusting God to cultivate them. Here’s Pastor Ben in the book of Acts chapter 28, as he continues his message “Paul’s Arrival And Final Witness.”

When we look at the gospels we notice something powerful. So many of the people Jesus healed took a step of faith first. The friends who tore open the roof, the woman who reached for his cloak, the blind men who cried out even when others told them to be quiet. Today Pastor Ben will tell you that healing doesn't come to those who sit still. It comes to those who are moving toward Jesus. The Same is true for you. If you long for His healing, you can't stay where you are. You need to step toward Him in faith. Here’s Pastor Ben in the book of Acts chapter 28, as he begins his message “Paul’s Arrival And Final Witness.”

Have you ever stopped to realize that if you're still alive and breathing today, it's not an accident? God is in complete control of our lives, and every breath we take is a reminder that He has a purpose for us. We're not here by chance. We're here because God still has work for us to do. People to love, prayers to pray, and steps of faith to take. Pastor Ben will urge and encourage you today to live with that awareness. Trusting that the one who holds your breath, also guides your path and your purpose. Here's Pastor Ben in the book of Acts chapter 28, as he continues his message “Answer The Bell.”

It's been said that sometimes we are the only Bible people will ever read and it's true. Long before someone opens scripture they often watch how we live. Our words, our reactions, our kindness, or even our patients, all speak louder than a verse we might quote. Today Pastor Ben will remind you that if you claim to follow Jesus your life should reflect Him in the everyday moments. In how you treat people, how you handle stress, and how you respond to hurt. Do people Glimpse Jesus through you? Here's Pastor Ben in the book of Acts chapter 28, as he begins his message “Answer The Bell.”

Mon 12/22 This world is watching you closely. When they find out you're a believer, the immediate response is to start looking for a point of weakness. They seem to want you to be a hypocrite so they can just feel better about themselves. As Pastor Ben will challenge us in today's message, while we can't expect to be perfect, we do have a calling to live lives that honor God and uphold His ways. Be honest about your weaknesses. But through the strength of Christ live in a way that stands out for good. Here's Pastor Ben in the book of Acts chapter 27, as he continues his message “Through The Storms Of Life.”

We put our trust in our spouse, family, friends, career, money, political or social causes. We believe these things can give us meaning and purpose and as long as we have them we'll have joy and value. Then the marriage or relationship comes to an end. The layoffs start. The politician loses the election. What are we left with? As Pastor Ben warns in today's message, this world will let us down, every time. But Jesus is steadfast and eternal and He can provide unwavering hope and peace. Here's Pastor Ben in the book of Acts chapter 27, as he continues his message “Through The Storms Of Life”

We live in a world where evil is alive and thriving. We can't expect to avoid it all together. If you're out there sharing the gospel with the lost, you're going to come face to face with the opportunity to sin. Even if you try to shelter yourself and surround yourself with fellow believers, sin will rear its head. Today Pastor Ben will remind us that God's grace is enough. Even when we stumble back into those old ways. Our new nature won't let us stay in that place of destruction. Here's Pastor Ben in the book of Acts chapter 27, as he continues his message “Through The Storms Of Life”

Wed 12/17 This world is like a ship going down in a storm. The ship is full of people with valuable belongings on board, and they've placed a great deal of trust in the ship. It's carried them a long distance, and they've had incredible experiences on it. But the storm is taking it down, and now as they cling to it, the very thing they've trusted in, and relied on, threatens their very lives. As Pastor Ben will remind us in today's message, we have to hold this world loosely, ready to let go or it'll pull us down to destruction. Here's Pastor Ben in the book of Acts chapter 27, is he continues his message “Through The Storms Of Life”

When a missionary goes on a missions trip or serves an extended missions in a foreign land, they plan and train often for months, before heading to that location. There's nothing wrong with that. We value our lives and we should be smart about how we do these things. However as we examine Paul's account and his missionary journeys with Pastor Ben we will be challenged to hold loosely to this life. We have the hope of Heaven and the good news we carry is worth giving our lives for. Here's Pastor Ben in the book of Acts chapter 27, as he continues his message “Through The Storms Of Life”

Jesus is a great redeemer. Not only does He take the broken sinful hearts of men and women and transform them into life-filled vessels to carry His good news to the world. But He takes the circumstances of life and turns them into opportunities for growth. As Pastor Ben will point out in today's message, in this life you'll experience very difficult times. As a believer that doesn't stop. It can get worse. But trust those trials to God and He will bring you through stronger and better equipped to serve Him. Here's Pastor Ben in the book of Acts chapter 27, as he begins his message “Through The Storms Of Life”

For as long as you have a sliver of consciousness in this physical form, you have an opportunity to come to Jesus. As Pastor Ben points out in the example of the thief hanging next to Jesus on the cross. Even with your last breath you can confess Him as Lord and receive eternal life. This life is so much better with Him and there's no reason to wait till that moment. Few of us know when it'll come, but don't ever think you've gone too far, or that it's too late. Jesus wants to spend eternity with you. Here's Pastor Ben in the book of Acts chapter 26, as he continues his message “Share With Conviction”.

We're called into a radical love as believers in Jesus. He led by example. He was born into a hostile world where He knew that He'd face opposition, to the point where He would suffer and die as a criminal. Yet He willingly subjected Himself to it. He can speak worlds into existence. He could have wiped us out and started over. But instead He came in love and demonstrated incredible grace. Today Pastor Ben will challenge us to extend that love to the world around us, even our enemies. Here's Pastor Ben in the book of Acts chapter 26, as he continues his message “Share With Conviction”.

You know I've often thought since Jesus was a Jew, He must have spoken in Hebrew. But spiritual maturity is all about recognizing that regardless of your journey with Jesus, He'll talk to you speaking in a way that resonates with your heart. God always speaks to you clearly, without any confusion. He'll speak in a way and language that you understand. But hey, are you really tuning into His voice? In today's message Pastor Ben will encourage you to deepen your relationship with Jesus. Here's Pastor Ben in the book of Acts chapter 26, as he continues his message “Share With Conviction”.

So have you ever thought about what you as a Christian might be up to in heaven during that 7-year judgment period? I mean that's a fascinating question. You're not just going to sit there and witness the judgment. So today Pastor Ben shares some insights on how God will be preparing you in heaven during the judgment period. Sounds intriguing right? He'll help you get ready for the next thousand years, where you'll reign over the new Earth with God leading your way. I mean that's amazing, right? Here's Pastor Ben in the book of Acts chapter 26, as he begins his message “Share With Conviction”.

When Paul made the bold choice to take his case all the way up to Caesar, those around him couldn't help but wonder just who this intriguing figure was. You know Paul really had this amazing confidence that God was right there by his side. This is precisely what his personality revealed when he stood before the courts. Just like Paul, you might be facing some tough times. But do you have the same level of confidence that he did? Today Pastor Ben wants to tell you to put all your trust in Jesus. Here's Pastor Ben in the book of Acts chapter 25, as he continues his message “Paul Before Agrippa”.

Pastor Ben really nailed that one. We usually kick off our prayers with a note of gratitude, but somehow they tend to drift into a bit of venting. Rather than leaning into His plans, you might find yourself grumbling about why God has placed you in this situation. But how often do you find yourself saying this? “Alright God, I'm going to trust you even when things get rough”. Today Pastor Ben is here to inspire you to put your trust in God with all your heart. He always knows just when to make His move. Here's Pastor Ben in the book of Acts chapter 25, as he begins his message “Paul Before Agrippa”.

Can you picture Paul tackling all those challenges and hardships without his connection to Jesus? Do you think you would have made it through? I'm not too sure. Paul found the courage and strength to tackle hardships and trials simply because he had a personal relationship with his savior. How often do you find yourself reaching out to God? Eager to know more about your creator. Today Pastor Ben is here to inspire you to cultivate a genuine relationship with Jesus. Here's Pastor Ben in the book of Acts chapter 25, as he continues his message “Don't Worry Or Fret”.

It's all about trust, isn't it? When you know you can rely on someone, working together in business just feels right. You start by getting to know them over a coffee and a friendly chat. Your relationship with God is a lot like that too. Getting to know God's word, and the promises He has for you can really boost your confidence as you tackle life's ups and downs. Today Pastor Ben invites you to embrace and have faith in God's word, no matter the circumstances. That's how God communicates. Here's Pastor Ben in the book of Acts chapter 25, as he begins his message “Don't Worry Or Fret”.

Okay, so imagine you're on a diet, steering clear of those tempting unhealthy foods. Out of nowhere, when someone hands you a burger. All of that self-control just disappears, and before you know it you're eating that burger without a second thought. Sin is a bit like that tempting burger. That might just lead your health down a slippery slope. Sometimes the allure of sin can be so strong that it feels nearly impossible to say no. Today Pastor Ben is here to guide you on the journey of mastering self control in your life. Here's Pastor Ben in the book of Acts chapter 24, as he continues his message “Righteousness, Self-control & The Judgment To Come”.
