Pastor Ben Smith explores the sanctity of human life through Leviticus 18, calling Christians to honor life, submit to God’s Word, and recognize His ownership over every person. This sermon directly addresses abortion and challenges believers to respond faithfully in a culture that often devalues life.

True safety and peace are not found in power, prosperity, or public approval, but in being satisfied in the presence of God—even when enemies rise and accusations abound.

“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.”

John the Baptist had one message for the crowds: "Behold the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!" In this sermon on John 1:19-34, Pastor Ben Smith examines John's testimony of who Jesus is. John pointed to Jesus and declared two essential truths: Jesus is the Lamb of God, and Jesus takes away your sin. The wait is over. The promise has been fulfilled. Behold the Lamb of God.
