  • Detained, But Not Defeated Series

    Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Apr 9, 2017
    based on 3 ratings
     | 20,551 views

    With Peter in prison, the church prayed continually for his release. When God answered their prayers, they lacked faith to believe. We can overcome in Christ, but we must possess faith to believe the Lord will provide.

    Detained but not Defeated Acts 12: 1-16 Our text deals with an intense time for the early church. God was clearly at work, and the church was growing. Thousands had been saved by the grace of God and the church’s influence was spreading. Such growth created much concern for the religious ...read more

  • Separated And Sent To Serve Series

     | 10,430 views

    As Jesus sent the twelve out to serve, He paired them according to His divine will and sent them out as He desired. They enjoyed His power and guidance. We too can rest in His power and provision as we seek to serve Him.

    Separated and Sent to Serve Mark 6: 7-13 Today we come to what must have been an exciting and yet anxious time in the life of the disciples. They have been walking with Jesus for some time now, watching and learning from Him. While they have experienced much in their time with the Lord, Jesus had ...read more

  • Overcoming Prejudice With Love

    Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Aug 27, 2017
     | 10,927 views

    James dealt with partiality and prejudice in the early church, revealing such attitudes were sinful. The divide in our nation continues to grow, and we must check our attitudes with Scripture. Prejudice will not exist with genuine love.

    Overcoming Prejudice with Love James 2: 1-10 There can be little doubt that our nation is facing the greatest division we have witnessed in decades. The level of turmoil we face today has not been experienced since the 1960’s. While the racial divide seems to be growing at an alarming rate, the ...read more

  • Surrendered To The Savior Series

    Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Jan 3, 2018
    based on 1 rating
     | 11,937 views

    Jesus offered a convicting mandate - take up your cross and follow me! In that culture the cross was not westernized like it is in our culture as a fashion statement. It meant death.

    Surrendered to the Savior Mark 8: 34-38 For the past few weeks we have discussed some intense conversation between Jesus and the disciples. He had questioned them regarding His deity and their acceptance of Him as the Christ. While others had a skewed perception of Christ, Peter boldly, and ...read more

  • Warned Of Denial And Desertion Series

    Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Oct 24, 2018
     | 3,999 views

    Have you ever been cautioned - never say never? Peter and the disciples were told they would deny and desert the Lord, but they vehemently denied they would ever commit such an act. We must seek the Lord and His strength to endure.

    Warned of Denial and Desertion Mark 14: 27-31 Our text reveals a critical moment in the lives of the disciples. They had just enjoyed the Last Supper with Jesus in the Upper Room. Having departed, they are making their way to the Garden of Gethsemane. While they are completely unaware, Jesus will ...read more

  • Faithfulness To The Gospel

    Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Feb 17, 2019
     | 7,221 views

    As Paul wrote his last letter, he reminded Timothy of the preeminence of the Gospel in life and ministry. If he accomplished nothing else, he must abide faithful to proclaiming the Gospel.

    Faithfulness to the Gospel 2 Timothy 2: 7-13 The benefits of experience and familiarity are difficult to fully appreciate or value. Each of these aid in individual pursuits, providing confidence, while enhancing particular abilities. We have all heard the old adage – practice makes perfect. While ...read more

  • At The Mercy Of The Sea Series

    Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Feb 27, 2019
     | 4,525 views

    Knowing Jonah was the reason for the storm the faced, the mariners continued to do all they could to spare Jonah from being thrown into the sea. Little did they know that God had a greater plan!

    At the Mercy of the Sea Jonah 1: 11-16 As we continue to move through the book of Jonah, I want to remind us of the powerful theme presented – the sovereignty of God in pursuing men unto Himself. Jonah had been called of God to preach a message of repentance to the Ninevites, and he chose to flee ...read more

  • The Church Is Prevailing

    Contributed by Scott Jensen on Mar 10, 2019
    based on 2 ratings
     | 10,729 views

    With so many scandals inside the Church and attacks from outside the Church, we can sometimes wonder if the Church will survive. Jesus promises that His Church will prevail! And as it prevails, we prevail, too.

    Opening Remarks and Introduction In the past few years, Christian churches have been rocked by problems both inside and outside the church. In 2017, we saw a shooting at a church in Sutherland Springs, and recently a mega-church in town hit the news recently with one youth worker and some of ...read more

  • Resurrected In Life

    Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Mar 31, 2019
     | 3,767 views

    Paul began this second chapter with the sobering reality of man's condition apart from a relationship with Christ. He is utterly hopeless and condemned. Fortunately, God intervened, providing a Remedy!

    Resurrected in Life Ephesians 2: 4-7 In our previous study, Ephesians 2: 1-3, we discovered the utter depravity and hopelessness of mankind within the condemnation of sin. Because of sin, he is dead spiritually, separated from God, and in danger of eternal judgment. Their depravity in sin dictates ...read more

  • Advancing In The Midst Of Adversity Series

    based on 1 rating
     | 15,011 views

    The difficulties associated with our modern day are reaching new levels of intensity. The majority is not interested in the Word or worship. As difficult as it may be, we remain obligated to serve the Lord and reach others. We can advance for Christ.

    Advancing in the Midst of Adversity 1 John 2: 24-29 Take a moment to consider the great challenges John spoke of in our last study. He warned the spirit of antichrist was already among us, seeking to undermine the church and hinder her ministry. He reminds us that we are living in the last time, ...read more

  • The Need For Spiritual Discernment Series

    Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Jun 23, 2016
    based on 4 ratings
     | 17,435 views

    Man is designed to be a spiritual being. He will worship something, even if it's a false god. The truth has been diluted and compromised by many, and we live among many who are confused. There is an urgent need for spiritual discernment in our day.

    The Need for Spiritual Discernment 1 John 4: 1-6 I am sure we’ve all been warned about believing everything we hear. The same caution should be applied for what we see as well. It is foolish to believe everything we are told and much of what we see. Lies and deception were used to tempt ...read more

  • The Witness Of Christ Series

    Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Jun 24, 2016
     | 9,275 views

    Many are skeptical of the church and the Gospel. In times of difficulty, we must abide in the truth, rather than shying away from it. The faith we have in Christ will sustain us in times of need. We must be faithful to proclaim Jesus to others.

    The Witness of Christ 1 John 5: 6-12 As I read these verses I was reminded of the difficulties of that day. John lived during the early days of the church, while she was yet in her infancy. The Gospel was being shared and many were saved, but false doctrine and heresy abounded as well. Many ...read more

    As Americans we enjoy specific liberties associated with being a citizen of this great country. Believers also enjoy great liberty in Christ. Such liberty requires restraint and comes with great responsibility.

    Abiding in Liberty Galatians 5: 13-18 Tomorrow we celebrate a special day in America – Independence Day. While many may not pause to reflect on the significance of the holiday, it stands in remembrance of a special event that separates America from other nations. We celebrate the day we ...read more

    modern science is creating new organs and manipulating DNA. Can Science Create Life?

    Almost exactly two centuries ago, 18-year-old Mary Shelley wrote a story about a German scientist named Victor Frankenstein creating life. In the story, Frankenstein assembled body parts from cadavers—it being considered too difficult to reconstruct them from scratch—which he then ...read more
