Sovereign Through the Chaos, Psalm 3
Psalm 3 was written when David fled from Absalom. His enemies had increased, many had turned against him, and some declared that there was no deliverance for him in God.
This sermon reminds us that peace is not found in the absence of threats, but in the presence and power of God. The Lord is our shield, our glory, and the One who lifts our head. Salvation belongs to the Lord.
The Enthroned King, Psalm 2
Psalm 2 declares that the nations may rage and the rulers of the earth may rebel, but God is not threatened. He has installed His King, and all creation is moving toward the exaltation and glory of Jesus.
This sermon calls us to submit to King Jesus, honor Him, worship with reverence, and take refuge in Him. Blessed are all who take refuge in the Son
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.
Church Discipline, 2 Thessalonians 3:6-12
In this sermon, Pastor Ben Smith expositionally preaches from 2 Thessalonians 3:6-12, addressing the critical issues of the sin of idleness and the often-abandoned practice of church discipline. He emphasizes that sin is a serious threat to individual Christians and the church, rightly understood as rebellion against God's lordship. The sermon highlights that faithful labor is submission to God, contrasting it with sinful idleness. The sermon also outlines three basic principles of church discipline: it is an action of the church, a direct confrontation of sin, and is fundamentally gospel-driven. Listeners will understand why the church must obey Christ's commands, even when they are countercultural, to affirm the gospel, combat sin, and rescue wayward members.
