Jesus sent the seventy to proclaim that the kingdom of God had come near. The harvest was plentiful, but the laborers were few.

This sermon from Luke 10:1–16 calls believers to preach the kingdom, endure hardship, and serve the King with surrendered lives. The message remains unchanged: Jesus is Lord, salvation is in Him alone, and all people must come and worship the King.

Jesus gives sobering warnings in Mark 9:38–50. Do not hinder those whom God is using. Do not cause little ones to stumble. Do not let anything in this world draw you into sin.

This sermon considers the seriousness of sin, the reality of hell, and the call for God’s people to live as salt in the world.

In the parable of the two sons, Jesus exposes the danger of saying the right thing while refusing to obey. The issue is not religious appearance, but whether the heart is truly submitted to God.

This sermon from Matthew 21:28–32 calls sinners away from empty words and toward faithful obedience to the King.

The disciples wanted to know who would be greatest in the kingdom of heaven. Jesus answered by placing a child before them and teaching that unless they turned and became like children, they would never enter the kingdom.

This sermon from Matthew 18:1–4 considers the necessity of humble repentance. Before asking who is great in the kingdom, every sinner must ask whether he has entered the kingdom through Christ.

Jesus commands His people to seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness. In a world filled with anxiety, earthly priorities, and kingdoms of our own making, Matthew 6:33 calls us to reorder our hearts under the rule of God.

This sermon considers how seeking the kingdom first redirects our attention, shapes our pursuit of righteousness, and teaches us to trust the Father’s provision.

Jesus did not come to abolish the Law and the Prophets, but to fulfill them. In Matthew 5:17–20, Jesus teaches that God’s kingdom, God’s Word, and God’s righteous standard stand forever.

This sermon considers the perfection required to enter the kingdom of heaven and the good news that Jesus fulfills the law’s demands for all who are saved by Him.

When Jesus began to preach, His message was clear: “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.” The coming of the kingdom is good news, but it is also a summons. The King has come, and sinners are called to turn from sin and self and submit to His righteous rule.

This sermon from Matthew 4:17 considers repentance as a word of confrontation, action, and truth. The warning is urgent, the way of salvation is singular, and the hope of the gospel remains: repent and be saved.

In 2 Kings 2:1–19, Elijah’s ministry comes to an end and Elisha’s begins. Yet the work of God does not end with Elijah. The Lord is eternal, His Word remains unchanged, and His kingdom continues from one generation to the next.

This sermon calls the church to prepare faithfully for endings and beginnings. All men come to an end, each generation must invest in the next, and God’s people must affirm faithful calling and service for the ongoing witness of the gospel.

When Ahab took possession of Naboth’s vineyard, he may have thought the matter was settled. But God saw the murder, the theft, the excuses, and the rebellion. The Lord sent Elijah to speak plainly: Ahab had murdered and taken possession.

In this sermon from 1 Kings 21:17–29, Ben Smith shows why God’s people must be faithful to speak truth in every season. Biblical confrontation is not rooted in anger or malice, but in love, compassion, and the desire that sinners would repent and be restored to the Lord.

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.

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 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.

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.
