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
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.
Saved by His Resurrection, 1 Peter 3:18–22
When the world appears strong and the church appears weak, it can be difficult to see how God is working. Yet Scripture reminds us that what looks like defeat is often the very place of God’s victory.
In this message from 1 Peter 3:18–22, we are called to fix our eyes on the risen Christ. His suffering accomplished our salvation, His proclamation declared His triumph, and His resurrection assures us that He reigns now and forever.
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.
Sanctity of Life, Leviticus 18:1-5, 21
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.
The Faith that Saves, John 1:6-13
Salvation is not determined by man's worthiness but by God's authority. It is impossible for sinful man, blind in sin, to receive and believe on Jesus for salvation. But God, rich in mercy, grants with His power and authority, by grace alone, for sinners to receive and believe in faith on Jesus and to become children of God. From beginning to end, salvation is entirely the work of God—a truth that brings both humility and unshakable hope to all who trust in Christ.
