Discover the story of Elijah and how faith and obedience open the way to experience God’s provision. Pastor Ben Smith explores 1 Kings 17:1–16, showing how God provides in unexpected ways, sustains His people through trials, and reveals His glory when we walk in faithful obedience.

What is the “good life”? Psalm 73 reveals that it isn’t found in comfort or success but in the presence of God. In this message, Pastor Ben Smith shows that true faith, hope, and refuge are discovered when we draw near to Him.

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.
