When the Threats of this World Shake Us, 1 Kings 19
After revival on Mount Carmel came fear, threats, and discouragement. In 1 Kings 19, Elijah fled from Jezebel and momentarily lost sight of the God whose power he had just witnessed.
This message reminds us that the hostility of the world is real, but God remains sovereign, present, and faithful. When the threats of this world shake us, we must remember that God is bigger than our fears and greater than our perspective.
Forever Faithful, Genesis 11:10–32
Genesis 11:10–32 records the genealogy from Shem to Abram, but this passage is far more than a list of names. It is a testimony that God is faithfully preserving His word and accomplishing His redemptive plan, even when the world is marked by rebellion, corruption, and idolatry.
This sermon encourages believers to trust the Lord’s faithfulness throughout history, despite man’s corruption, and according to His enduring word. God has been faithful, God is faithful, and God will forever be faithful.
The Deadly Pride of Man, Genesis 11:1-9
The Tower of Babel is more than a childhood story about a tall tower and confused languages. Genesis 11:1–9 reveals the deadly pride of man: the desire to make a name for ourselves, live apart from dependence on God, and assert our will over His.
In this sermon, Ben Smith, Sr. examines the pride of ability, the pride of self-sufficiency, and the pride of mastery, calling believers to reject the illusion of independence and humble themselves before the sovereign God.
God of All Nations, Genesis 10
Genesis 10 may seem like a chapter that can be passed over quickly, but it bears profound witness to the sovereignty of God. The nations of the earth are neither random nor outside His rule. Behind every family line, every people group, and every generation stands the God who created all things and governs history according to His will.
In “God of All Nations,” we are reminded that human power is fleeting, but God’s purposes never fail. The same God who governed the nations in Genesis is still accomplishing His redemptive will today, and in Christ He has made salvation known to people from every tribe, tongue, and nation.
Ransomed by His Blood, 1 Peter 1:17–21
What does it mean to be ransomed by God? In 1 Peter 1:17–21, we are reminded that our redemption was not purchased with silver or gold, but with the precious blood of Christ. This truth reshapes how we live, how we hope, and how we approach God.
Because the ransom has been paid, believers can live with confidence—not in themselves, but in the finished work of Christ, the eternal will of God, and the hope secured through the resurrection.
Righteously Responding to Sin, Genesis 9:18–29
How you respond to sin reveals your heart toward God. Genesis 9:18–29 shows that even the most faithful can fall, but the greater issue is how we respond when sin is exposed.
This sermon calls believers to recognize the danger and shame of sin while resting in the grace that sustains and preserves God’s people.
Amazing Grace, Genesis 9:1–17
After the flood, God spoke to Noah and established a covenant that would shape the future of the world. In Genesis 9:1–17, God reveals His grace through the fulfillment of His eternal will, the provision of His law, and the patience of His covenant promise.
Even in a world still corrupted by sin, the rainbow stands as a reminder that God’s grace continues to restrain judgment and provide hope.
Holy Worship, Genesis 8:20–22
Noah stepped off the ark into a changed world marked by judgment and grace. His first act was worship—an altar built to the God who saves. Genesis 8:20–22 shows that true worship arises when we remember God, acknowledge our sin, and rest in His sovereign grace. This message calls believers to offer their lives wholly to Him.
Great is thy Faithfulness, Genesis 8:1-19
In Genesis 8, Noah spends more than a year in the ark with no visible sign that life will ever return to normal. Yet Scripture shows us that even when God seems silent, He is never absent. God remembers His people, encourages them with signs of His grace, and speaks His word to declare new beginnings. This message invites believers to trust the unwavering faithfulness of God in every season.
Repent and Be Saved, Genesis 7
The ark stood as both hope and warning. Repent and believe while the door of grace remains open.
Trust and Obey, Genesis 6:9-22
Noah’s obedience flowed from a heart transformed by God’s grace. In a world shaped by self-autonomy, this message calls believers back to the joy of trusting and obeying the Lord.
The Depravity of Man, Genesis 6:1-8
In Genesis 6:1–8, The Depravity of Man examines humanity’s sin, God’s judgment, and the undeserved, initiating grace that saves. Learn how Noah and Enoch lived righteously, preached faithfully, and trusted God’s grace in a corrupt world.
Call On The Name Of The Lord, Genesis 4:25-5:32
In Call on the Name of the Lord (Genesis 4:25–5:32), Pastor Ben Smith shows how God preserves a faithful remnant even as the world grows increasingly rebellious. While Cain’s line multiplied in power and influence, God quietly carried His redemptive promise through Seth’s line—those who called upon the name of the Lord. This sermon encourages believers that God’s will cannot be thwarted, His promises never fail, and He always knows and keeps those who belong to Him.
2025 - The year-end Review
“Expository preaching isn’t about imposing our ideas onto Scripture—it’s about letting Scripture speak for itself. When the main idea of the text becomes the main idea of the sermon, God’s Word shapes both the preacher and the people. In this year-end conversation, we reflect on how faithful, verse-by-verse preaching has formed our understanding of the gospel, challenged us through difficult passages, and deepened our appreciation for God’s redemptive plan revealed from Genesis to Revelation.”
Give Thanks, Psalm 106
In this message from Psalm 106, learn how confession, reflection on God’s faithfulness, and a God-centered perspective shape genuine, lasting thanksgiving.
Purposeless Prosperity, Genesis 4:17-24
Cain’s descendants built cities, developed culture, advanced technology, and prospered in ways the world would applaud—yet they lived every moment outside the presence of God. Their story reminds us that success without God is not success at all. Prosperity apart from Him may look impressive, but it cannot satisfy, it cannot save, and it cannot endure. In this episode, we explore how the busyness of building for nothing and the foolish confidence of worldly achievement can silently pull our hearts away from what matters most—and why true purpose is found only in a relationship with Christ.
Sin’s Ruinous Rule, Genesis 4:8-16
In “Sin’s Ruinous Rule” (Genesis 4:8–16), Pastor Ben Smith examines Cain’s tragic story to reveal three warning signs of sin’s growing destruction—its mastery, its blindness, and its judgment—while calling believers to repentance and the redeeming grace found only in Jesus Christ.
Right with God, Genesis 4:1-7
In Right with God (Genesis 4:1–7), Pastor Ben Smith contrasts the offerings of Cain and Abel to reveal that true acceptance with God comes only through obedience, faith, and submission to His will. This sermon challenges today’s culture of self-worship and calls believers to honor God through a worthy offering and wholehearted surrender to Christ.
Death for Life, Genesis 3:20-24
In Death for Life, Pastor Ben Smith, Sr. explores Genesis 3:20–24, showing how God’s first act of redemption in Eden points to Christ’s death and substitutionary sacrifice. Discover how faith, a righteous sacrifice, and God’s grace bring true life.
Created Male and Female, Genesis 1:27-31, 2:18-25
On the issue of gender, the Bible is very clear that gender is by divine design, God declared, and must be celebrated as part of the goodness of creation.
