This sermon was preached in January. At the beginning, I mention "a couple of weeks ago" referring to the Monday Night Football game that made America stop and pray. How are you with praying? Do you find it challenging? Is it something you do on a regular basis? Pray is essential! We have countless examples of people who prayed in the Bible. Let's see what we can learn from them.
John 3:16 may be one of the most popular Bible verses. 1. What does it say? 2. What does it mean? 3. Why did Jesus say what He said? What was the context? 4. What can we learn about our Heavenly Father and His Son Jesus? Study with me as we journey through John 3:16.
Life moves very fast. How we live matters. We are reminded in the Bible that we have one life to live. How has 2023 been going for you? We are at the end of the first quarter. This is always a great time to reevaluate the direction we're headed. In this sermon, I consider what Jesus has to say about how we should live our lives. I also discuss false doctrines we need to be aware, fantasy, and fiction that can get in the way of this one life to live.

This year our Bible reading has taken us through the Psalms. In Psalms 37-41, there were 4 thoughts that stood out to me. Enjoy! And remember, Jesus loves you.

Our study today takes us to Luke 14. Jesus says a lot about discipleship in this chapter. Sacrifice is required when it comes to being a Christian. Many times we can start strong, but fail to finish what we have begun. Jesus tells us why this happens and what we can do to avoid it. This was originally preached at the beginning of 2022. I was convicted listening to myself. The year is almost over, but there is still time to finish what we began to build.

When was the last time you heard someone request a sermon on hell? When was the last time you heard a sermon on hell? Hell is a topic that Jesus discussed often and in detail. And yet, many don't want to hear about it. Sadly, many don't believe what Jesus taught about hell. In this lesson, we look at the word of God and why many don't want to hear this kind of sermon. The reasons as to why are the very reasons we need to hear about it! Visit www.benjaminlee.blog for the outline of this lesson....
Whenever we read from the Holy Scriptures, we should be seeking to learn something about God! It was Pharaoh in Exodus 5:2 who asked the question "Who is the LORD that I should obey His voice to let Israel go?" A lot of people ask, "Who is the LORD?" The Psalms help us to see who God is. In this Podcast Episode, we go through Psalm 95-Psalm 97. We will read each of these Psalms and then ask, "What can we learn about God?" Then we will see how we should respond to Him. God Is...Therefore I Will!...
In Matthew 25:34-40 it says, “Then the King will say to those on his right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father; take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world. 35 For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, 36 I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.’ 37 “Then the righteous will answer ...

One of the worst things to do with our time is to Worry. Jesus says that it is a wast of time, Matthew 6:27. Yet many people including Christians struggle with worry. In this sermon, I discuss: What's the distinction between worry and concern? How to stop worrying about the past. How to stop worrying today. How to stop worrying about the future. Everything that is share is from God's Word! P.S. I read the book "How to stop worrying and start living" by Dale Carnegie. This is where I got the titl...
There is a kind of medicine that we don't consider or use enough. I'm referring to what's written in Proverbs 17:22. The Bible says, "A joyful heart is good medicine, but a crushed spirit dries up the bones." In this sermon, we study the topic of bringing joy to our homes. How can we all have a joyful heart? The one thing each family member can do is to be content! Learning to be content is a way to bring great joy to our homes. 1. I discuss how discontentment destroys joy. 2. The expectation Go...

In John 10 Jesus said, "I AM the Good Shepherd. 1. Why did Jesus make this statement? 2. What does it mean for His people? John 10 provides us with great promises from our King and Shepherd. Let's sit at the feet of Jesus and consider our Shepherd and what He has done for us and how we need to respond.
Life has a way of making us ask, “What am I supposed to do?” Have you ever felt that way? Our response in difficult moments is to turn to God in prayer. This is what King Jehoshaphat did in 2 Chronicles 20.
