5d agoTap to summarizeKids playing out on the schoolyard would oftentimes pick team captains who would then choose their teammates, and of course we all know that they would pick the best athletes first, and no one wanted to get picked last. So the kids would eagerly wait their turn to get picked. In today's message Pastor Ben shares with you that when God has chosen you, then nothing can take you from Him. When God says “you're mine”, then there's nothing in this world to be afraid of. Here's Pastor Ben in the Book of John chapter 15, as he begins his message “From Love To Hate.”

You know, a new outfit, a pay raise, a new car, a new house. Now the only thing is that over time that happiness fades away, right? Well today in his message Pastor Ben wants you to know that true lasting joy can be found in Jesus Christ. His joy is a joy that won't fade away, but it will fill your heart for all of eternity.

1w agoTap to summarizeSo I've traveled through a few cities around the world where I've encountered street vendors who are selling counterfeits. Sometimes the knockoffs are obvious like “Gucci O's”, instead of “Gucci”. But there were times when the only indication that something was not the real deal was the insanely low price. A price too good for the genuine product. In today's message Pastor Ben warns against settling for anything other than the True Vine Jesus Christ. There are no substitutes for His love. Here's Pastor Ben in the book of Isaiah chapter 5, as he continues his message “The Vine And The Branches.”

1w agoTap to summarizeYou know when I was younger I knew little to nothing about how things actually worked. I just knew things like the refrigerator kept things cold. But now I have some understanding of how that actually works. When I was younger I knew that the car took me places, but now I kind of grasp the concept of how it does it. In today's message Pastor Ben wants you to know that true life is found in Jesus Christ. Even if you don't get all of the how it all works, know this, Jesus loves you and when you believe in Him you will have eternal life. Here's Pastor Ben in the Book of John chapter 15, as he begins his message “The Vine And The Branches.”

1w agoTap to summarizeA parting goodbye can be a sorrowful thing. When we know we won't see someone we love for a long time or even possibly ever again, it can be difficult to bid them farewell. That's the intensity that we see when we look at Jesus and His disciples in the upper room during the Last Supper. In His message today Pastor Ben expresses to you that Jesus fulfilled His promise to return to His disciples after He rose from the grave, and so Jesus promises us in His word that He's coming back to us again and He will. Here's Pastor Ben in the Book of John chapter 14, as he continues his message “Jesus Comforts, Teaches, And Encourages His Disciples.”

Not just one good pitcher but several of them. Both starters and closers, In today's message Pastor Ben explains to you that Jesus and the Holy Spirit aren't from two separate tiers of the Godhead.

2w agoTap to summarizeA car without a driver isn't a very useful thing. Yeah I know, they have self-driving cars now. But even those need operators really. But that's beside the point. What I'm trying to get to is that when the car has someone like you behind the wheel then it'll take you to all kinds of places. Today in his message Pastor Ben wants you to know that when you let God take control of your life He'll accomplish all kinds of things that you could never do on your own. So, what do you say? Are you ready to see where God will take you? Here's Pastor Ben in the Book of John chapter 14, as he continues his message “Jesus Comforts, Teaches, And Encourages His Disciples.”

2w agoTap to summarizeThere are a lot of cheap imitations in the world. It's pretty disappointing when you order something online, only to discover that it's not exactly what you expected. Or maybe when you order a new food item at a restaurant and it's nothing like the advertisement. That's a bummer. In today's message Pastor Ben let you know that if you want to know what God the Father is like, then get close to Jesus. You won't be disappointed. The Bible says that Jesus is the express image of God in human form. Here's Pastor Ben in the Book of John chapter 14, as he continues his message “Jesus Comforts, Teaches, And Encourages His Disciples.”

2w agoTap to summarizeHave you ever waited in line for a long time, only to get up to the front and then realize you're in the wrong line? It's pretty lame, right? Or maybe it wasn't a line but a phone call. Where you're put on hold, and when you finally got an answer, then you had to be transferred to another department. It's so much better to know you're in the right place, right? In today's message Pastor Ben wants you to know that if you want to get into heaven there's only one way, and that's through Jesus. Here's Pastor Ben in the Book of John chapter 14, as he continues his message “Jesus Comforts, Teaches, And Encourages His Disciples.”
