How could someone that has been convicted take a turn to walk the other way? Let's consider some of the challenges that Christians can face and their impact

Belief is the foundation of our relationship with God? Yet transgressing His commands puts a divide between us. Let's consider the impact that the world can have on our Heavenly relationship

Let's consider a word that has been camouflaged in our world today. What does repentance entail and what dangers exist when we ignore one of God's direct commands?

We take a different approach to the same question we posed last week. Adam and Eve believed in God but what happened when they stopped believing God? We have an example of another individual that battled to believe what was asked - Naaman. He was an honorable man, highly esteemed yet he had leprosy. He was presented the opportunity to be cleansed yet the cure did not fit his expectations. 

You believe in God - but do you believe God? The Psalmist recorded that the fool has said in his heart there is no God. What does this entail? We give consideration during this week's visit.

This is the complete lesson that was presented here a while back in three different lessons. This podcast is a recording of this topic that I presented at a Gospel Meeting at the Ben Church of Christ recently. We hope you find a place for this among your studies and consideration. It was a great study for me and I believe you will find it beneficial as well. Thank you again for your interest!

This topic was covered on this podcast in a shorter version. This is a recording of a lesson on the pattern of cleanliness from the Gospel Meeting held at the Ben Church of Christ. This was a most interesting study for me that I greatly benefitted from. We do hope this finds a good place among your studies and conversations. 

The amount of details, data, and sheer facts in the existence of God is not overwhelming and to the point, we have no choice but to believe, however, might that not be part of God's plan after all? Let's look at some of what exists and consider the evidence that is enough to believe and establish our faith in the unanswered.

Having looked at the God-given pattern for worship using music in the Old Testament in part one, we continued last lesson into the New Testament focussing on the changes and differences that the new covenant brought. Today, we look at a historical perspective and how early historians and related viewed these changes. 

We continue our study on the pattern God gave for music. Our previous study looked at the pattern given in the Old Testament. We follow that into the New Testament in this lesson.

There is a pattern of cleansing leading from the Old Testament into the New Testament. Let's take a look at the shadow of the old and apply to what it points towards in the new.

Music is one of the components of Worship? Do we have a pattern which God gave to follow? This is the first part of a three-part series. We look into the Old Testament to see how God was worshipped with music. 

Starting March 6, the Church of Christ at Ben will host a Gospel meeting. This podcast talks about the plans for that special week with Jerry and Jackie Prince.

Is hurting someone's feelings wrong? What does "offend" actually mean?

Judge not that you be not judged - perhaps one of the most quoted verses in the bible. It also is one of the most misapplied verses. 

Just a book of fables written by delusional men?  Let's look at some facts of the Book that give even more reason to accept it as not just another book of man.

Happiness is something we desire, we crave, we need and for some reason seem to be most disappointed when we get to a place we thought would bring us happiness but it does not. Let’s consider…. How can we get happiness… stay with us as I think you might be surprised at the answer.

In 1 Peter we read of three categories…. And if the righteous scarcely be saved, where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear Let’s look at these groups of people to be sure we comprehend what is being said and who is the group referenced as "Sinners"?

The pew research center posted at the end of 2017 that around 28% of those polled said that they talk to God and God talks to them… about 47 percent say they talk to God and he does NOT talk to them… 15 says there is communication going in neither direction. So it is safe to say, there is a decent number that believes they are being talked to in some fashion by God. The question I would like to po...

Was it a miracle that David won? If familiar with the lesson of David and Goliath – and most would consider David the underdog. Those that lean towards Goliath being the underdog typically do so because David had God on his side and who could win with God on your side? We certainly don’t want to take away what it means to have God on your side – but there are some interesting points in this story...

Genesis – established testing of faith Gen 2:16  And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat: Gen 2:17  But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die. Eze_18:20  The soul that sinneth, it shall die. What is the process? Is there a pattern we...

I bet you know or have heard someone declare that they are spiritual but not religious. I recently heard this statement from a work colleague as another staff member mentioned something about going to church. He made the comment that he was a very spiritual person but not religious. He added that he just didn’t believe in all of the rules, regulations and what have you that go along with religion....

Would you believe a lie? Would you support a lie? Would you repeat a lie? We are talking about something this morning that is known perhaps as much as anything else? I venture to say that this topic can be of a sensitive nature, and what we are talking about this morning could offend some of our listeners. I assume you are listening because you are interested in learning, growing and having a bett...

The old testament has a few, has many, has many- many prophecies related to Jesus Christ. We look at the odds of the fulfillment of these prophecies. 

We have folks among us that have designed a god that is nothing but love. That a loving God would not judge man in wrong doing. That a loving God would not condemn man to a life of torment because of his actions. Let’s consider these concepts briefly this morning. How do we know God? How do we learn of his character, his judgment, his love and his anger. Last week we talked about the goodness and...
