Jun 15Tap 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.”

Jun 10Tap 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.”

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.

Jun 3Tap to summarizeYeah but Ah, it's so hard to forgive sometimes, isn't it? That accusation that wasn't even true, hurts, and then there's some kind of satisfaction in holding that crushing experience against a friend or relative. But like Pastor Ben instructs today Jesus forgave you, and the very best thing you can do is release that wound, and be freed by forgiving. God will rightly judge the wrong. But your responsibility is to follow Jesus's example. Rather than Harbor bitterness that will poison you from the inside out. Here's Pastor Ben in the Book of John Chapter 13, as he continues his message “Jesus Predicts His Betrayal.”

Jun 2Tap to summarizeHmm, a convicting word from Pastor Ben today as he talks about Jesus pouring out His love and His life for the very one who would betray Him. So, what are the walls that you've built around you to protect yourself? Have you been a victim in the infamous “church hurt?” There are so many ways that you can be wounded by even other Christians and people you've lived with for years. But Pastor Ben asks you to follow Jesus' lead and open your eyes to the possibility of loving those who hurt you. Here's Pastor Ben in the Book of John Chapter 13, as he begins his message “Jesus Predicts His Betrayal.”
