Ben Church of Christ

The Word has power, but when the Word is put into action, an example is created. We consider the power of being an example.....

Enoch is recorded as one that WALKED with God. What an interesting choice of words. We consider how this word truly fits into the relationship we can have with our Creator.

We consider the influence of tradition, when it could work in our favor and when we might need to reconsider....

Faith brings many things to the life of Man. Among those is stability, a standard, a set of guides, laws, rules all to give man a life he cannot experience otherwise. Just how crucial is it in the end? We consider.....

We look more closely at a concept that initially brought confusion, but then, once understood gave greter understanding than one might think possible.

Impossible - a term used in reference to whether something can be accomplished. This term is used in some sanctuaries noting one cannot lose his salvation, yet that term is actually used in reference to the possibility of returning after once has fallen. We consider a most important perspective in this weeks visit.....

A look at the life of a prophet-to-be, and a time when challenges arose and decisions were demanded.

Knowledge is certainly crucial, knowing the truth, yet what about those things for which details are missing. Our faith provides a vital link in accepting and understanding.

Light/Dark, Good/Bad. Right/Wrong, Heaven/Hell, God/Satan. Church/World, and Truth/Error. Truth removes options. Truth establishes harmony, avoids destruction, and will always prevail.

We continue looking into the outcomes of faith. This week we consider how our faith can get us to a place we cross the threshold from being outside to becoming adopted into the family of God. God, as father, has privileges that only are offered to his children.

The phrase in this psalm is better known as one of the final statements of Christ. Though written years before, the question of suffering and salvation are closely examined.

We consider if there is actually a difference between full and empty. While it seems elementary, we consider what establishes a faith that is mature/full verses one that is not.

Of the many blessings that come as a part of being faithful, what God does with our sins keeps us in a good relationship with Him, even when we fall short.

When one thinks of "Church," what comes to mind? We look at some bible basics that identify the key reasons of the existence of the Church and the responsibilities of its membership.

This chapter is possibly the most familiar when considering the prophecies of Christ. This lesson looks more deeply into some points that are often overlooked...

Faith is more than just acceptance of facts. Faith impacts our lives, our decisions, shows fruit, shines as light. And as a result, there are several things that are an outcome of this faith. Without faith, it is impossible to please God. So, with Faith he can be pleased? We consider the blessings of pleasing our maker this week.....

When considering who we are, what we are, how we are, God's word has given the concept that all of this is but a vessel.

Faith is the foundation. When we consider belief, what exactly is it? This seems rather simple, yet is there anything more important than making certain we are building on a firm foundation. What does it mean to believe?

The concept of identifying self is a topic that has grown, evolved, and certainly been in the headlines. Is there a foundation that we can consider that puts things in a context from the perspective of our Creator? We consider......

Following last week's lesson on being "In Christ," we look at the other side of that relationship and terms that describe Christ's (and The Father's) relationship with those that are his.

The Psalms are poetic and colorful yet also powerful in foretelling of events to come. This lesson considers the 22nd Psalm as it views the future scene of the Cross of Christ

We look at the concept of the sacrifices of the Old Law and the evolution that brings us to the point of atonement and redemption under the new.....

Is pleading for Mercy a good strategy? Jehovah is a God of mercy and grace. Does this mean he is quick to allow, turning a blind eye to anything that goes against His will?

We look at the perspective of the believer of the Old Testament when it came to their transgressions and relationship to their God?
