Episode Notes:The Hope of Christ (John 1:1-5)In this message, Pastor Ben Smith explores the opening verses of John's gospel to reveal the foundation of Christian hope: the person and work of Jesus Christ.Introduction: How does knowing who Jesus is give hope? In a world marked by suffering, sin, and uncertainty, the assurance of the gospel is not found in human philosophy, religious effort, or personal achievement—it is singularly founded on the personhood of Jesus Christ. John opens his gospel with a declaration that connects directly to Genesis 1:1, establishing Jesus as the eternal Word through whom all things were created and in whom God's eternal redemptive plan is fulfilled.Scripture Text: John 1:1-5Main Points:I. There is hope in Jesus, the everlasting God (vv. 1-3) • Jesus is God eternal • Jesus is God AlmightyJohn deliberately mirrors Genesis 1:1 ("In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth") with his opening: "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God." This is not coincidental—John is making an unmistakable claim about Jesus's divinity and eternal nature. Unlike prophets who declare words from God, teachers who explain God's words, or leaders who encourage obedience, only God Himself—the Word—can save. Jesus has no beginning or end, no limitation in knowledge, strength, or time. All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made. The Creator has intimate knowledge of creation's purpose, and only the Creator can restore His creation to its intended design.II. There is hope in Jesus, the light of truth (v. 4) • Jesus is light • Jesus is lifeWhen John says that Jesus is "the light of men," he means that Jesus is the one who makes God known to humanity. Jesus entered a world full of religion but lacking true knowledge of God. This sermon traces the hope of redemption from Genesis 3:15, where God promised Eve that her descendant would crush the head of the deceive. Jesus is the fulfillment of this promise to Eve, as well as God's promises to Abraham (Genesis 12:3), David (2 Samuel 7:12-13), and the messianic prophecies of Isaiah, Daniel, Hosea, and Micah. While the law pointed to God's holiness and man's sinfulness, the light of Christ perfectly reveals both the glory of God and the brokenness of man—and also reveals the truth of the gospel and the hope of salvation. In Him is life, and eternal life is only found in the light of Christ.III. There is hope in Jesus, the victor over sin (v. 5) • Jesus disrupts the lies of sin • Jesus defeats the curse of sinThe declaration "the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it" is not merely descriptive—it is a declaration of war. Light is never neutral to darkness. Darkness cannot remain where light shines, and they cannot coexist in harmony. The nature of light is that it pushes back against darkness, dispels it, and exposes what was covered by it. Jesus stepped into a world darkened by sin and shone forth the light of God—exposing sin, revealing Satan's lies, and showing clearly the hope of salvation. The birth of Jesus was not neutral. The ministry of Jesus was not neutral. The cross was not neutral. The resurrection was not neutral. All these things are God actively working against the darkness of this world. Even Herod's attempt to murder Jesus failed, and Satan's attempt to overthrow God's kingdom by killing Jesus on the cross—the darkest moment in history—became the moment when God's light shone brightest. Until Christ's second coming, darkness will war against the light—but this is a battle whose outcome has already been determined.Key Takeaway: The confidence of your salvation rests entirely on who Jesus is: God eternal, almighty, and triumphant. True hope is not found in human effort or worldly promises, but in the unchanging nature of Christ, whose victory over sin and death is already assured. As Paul writes in Romans 10:11-13, "Everyone who believes in him will not be put to shame...for everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved."Why This Sermon Matters: In a culture that offers countless competing visions of hope—self-improvement, positive thinking, political solutions, or religious works—this sermon anchors hope where it belongs: in the unchanging, all-powerful, victorious person of Jesus Christ. Whether you're struggling with doubt, facing darkness in your own life, or simply need to be reminded of the solid ground beneath your faith, this exposition of John 1:1-5 will encourage and strengthen you.Ideal For:Christmas and Advent preachingUnderstanding the deity of ChristBuilding a biblical foundation of hopePersonal encouragement in difficult timesSmall group discussion on ChristologyNew believer discipleshipAbout the Speaker: Ben Smith is the pastor of Central Baptist Church in Waycross, GA, where he faithfully preaches the Word of God with theological depth and pastoral care.

Central Baptist Church in Kansas City Sunday sermon with Samuel Nelson. Psalm 90 Part 1

In this episode, pastor Ben Smith explains the biblical meaning of thanksgiving through Psalm 106. Unlike secular gratitude, which often focuses on personal blessings or accomplishments, true thanksgiving is a worshipful response to God's character, mercy, and faithfulness.The sermon unfolds in three parts:A thankful heart is focused on who God is – God's goodness, His inexhaustible praise, and faithful provision.A thankful heart confesses the reality of sin – examining Israel's unfaithfulness and the importance of personal confession.A thankful heart rejoices in God's faithfulness – celebrating His undeserved mercy and steadfast covenant love.Listeners are encouraged to consider how a God-centered heart transforms gratitude into authentic, enduring worship.Key Scripture: Psalm 106Speaker: Pastor Ben SmithSeries: ThanksgivingFormat: Expository SermonFind Out More:Ben Smith is the pastor of Central Baptist Church, Waycross, GA.Additional podcasts, books, and downloadable PDFs of Pastor Ben's sermon outlines and manuscripts are available at http://bensmithsr.org.You can find information about Central Baptist Church at cbcwaycross.org.

Not Accepting God's Season // Pastor Jeremiah Andrews by Central Baptist Church

Are you ready for God to show up and change your heart this Christmas?In this Advent sermon, Pastor Adam Burton shows how God invites ordinary people into His incredible plans and calls us to prepare our hearts for Jesus. Through the message of Malachi, we learn that when God comes near, He purifies us like a refiner's fire and leads us into true worship. This message helps us slow down, make room for Jesus, and let Him shape our hearts for a joyful and meaningful Christmas season. Central Baptist Church is located in the heart of Maysville, Kentucky.

In this episode, Pastor Ben Smith explores the story of Cain's descendants and reveals how it's possible to achieve success, build a legacy, and experience prosperity—yet remain entirely outside the presence and blessing of God. Genesis 4:17–24 presents a striking contrast between remarkable human advancement and deep spiritual emptiness, showing how worldly accomplishments can distract us from what truly matters.Pastor Ben highlights two major warnings from the passage:• The Busyness of Building for Nothing — how investing in things that cannot last leaves us empty.• Foolish Confidence — how prosperity without God leads to pride, moral compromise, and a false sense of security.This message challenges listeners to consider where their confidence, priorities, and pursuits truly lie. Are we chasing achievements that won't endure, or seeking the lasting joy found only in a right relationship with God? Through the example of Cain's line and the transformation of Zacchaeus, this episode reminds us that authentic purpose comes not from what we build, but from whom we belong to.Listen and be encouraged to pursue what endures—and to guard your heart from the distractions of purposeless prosperity.Key Scripture: Genesis 4:17-24Speaker: Pastor Ben SmithSeries: GenesisFormat: Expository SermonFind Out More:Ben Smith is the pastor of Central Baptist Church, Waycross, GA.Additional podcasts, books, and downloadable PDFs of Pastor Ben's sermon outlines and manuscripts are available at http://bensmithsr.org.You can find information about Central Baptist Church at cbcwaycross.org.

Finding our Hope // Bro. Beau Roberts by Central Baptist Church

In this week's sermon podcast, “Sin's Ruinous Rule” (Genesis 4:8–16), Pastor Ben Smith examines the tragic story of Cain and Abel to reveal the devastating consequences of unrepentant sin. Through careful exposition, he highlights three warning signs of sin's growing destruction: 1. The Mastery of Sin – Without repentance, sin gains control over the heart, leading to escalating rebellion.2. Spiritual Blindness – Sin blinds individuals to danger, causing them to focus on temporary comfort while ignoring eternal consequences.3. Living Under God's Judgment – Being unconcerned about God's judgment is a warning sign of sin's ruinous rule.Pastor Smith challenges listeners to recognize sin in their own lives, respond to God's conviction, and embrace the hope and freedom found in repentance and faith in Jesus Christ.

Decisions That Defy the Odds // Pastor Jeremiah Andrews by Central Baptist Church

Episode Title: The Story of Elijah: Faith and Obedience (1 Kings 17:1–16)Episode Description:In this episode, Pastor Ben Smith dives into the story of Elijah, exploring faith and obedience in the face of hardship. From confronting King Ahab's sin to experiencing God's miraculous provision through nature and the unlikely generosity of a widow, this sermon reveals how God works through faithful obedience.Listeners will discover three key truths:1. God provides for obedience – He meets the needs of those who follow Him, often in unexpected ways.2. Suffering is part of life in a fallen world – Trials do not indicate God's absence, but create opportunities for His glory to shine.3. Faith is proven through obedience – True belief is demonstrated through action, even when it is difficult or costly.Through Elijah's story and a personal testimony from Pastor Ben's life, this episode encourages believers to trust God fully, obey His commands, and witness His power in the midst of life's challenges.Scripture Reference: 1 Kings 17:1–16Keywords: Elijah, Faith, Obedience, God's Provision, Trials, Trust in God, Christian Living, SermonSpeaker: Pastor Ben SmithSeries: Heroes of the Faith: The Story of ElijahFormat: Expository SermonFind Out More:Ben Smith is the pastor of Central Baptist Church, Waycross, GA.Additional podcasts, books, and downloadable PDFs of Pastor Ben's sermon outlines and manuscripts are available at http://bensmithsr.org.You can find information about Central Baptist Church at cbcwaycross.org.This sermon was originally preached on January 26, 2020.

How Hope Happens // Pastor Jeremiah Andrews by Central Baptist Church

What makes a person right with God?In this sermon, Pastor Ben Smith preaches from Genesis 4:1–7, exploring the testimony of Cain and Abel to reveal what true acceptance before God requires. Through this powerful passage, we learn that being right with God depends not on human desire or opinion but on obedience, faith, and submission to His will.Pastor Smith addresses the modern idol of self—the belief that personal autonomy and preference define truth—and shows how this false worship has deeply influenced our culture, from the breakdown of marriage and family to the devaluation of life itself. Yet this message goes beyond cultural critique; it calls the church and every believer to repentance, faith, and wholehearted submission to God's Word.Through the example of Cain's rejected offering and Abel's accepted one, listeners will discover three essential truths about what it means to be right with God:1. You must give a worthy offering.Worship that pleases God is not based on what we think is beautiful or impressive, but on obedience and atonement for sin.2. Your heart's desire must be to please God.Cain's anger reveals a self-centered heart, while Abel's faith displays true joy in honoring the Lord.3. You must submit to the will of God.True freedom is not found in doing things “your way,” but in surrendering to the authority of God and being ruled by His righteousness.Drawing from Scripture and practical examples, Pastor Smith reminds us that righteousness before God cannot be achieved through human effort. It is received only through Jesus Christ, the one perfect, acceptable sacrifice who makes sinners right with a holy God.Key Scripture: Genesis 4:1–7Main Theme: True acceptance with God comes through obedience, faith, and submission—not self-will or personal autonomy.Speaker: Pastor Ben SmithSeries: GenesisFormat: Expository SermonFind Out More:Ben Smith is the pastor of Central Baptist Church, Waycross, GA.Additional podcasts, books, and downloadable PDFs of Pastor Ben's sermon outlines and manuscripts are available at http://bensmithsr.org.You can find information about Central Baptist Church at cbcwaycross.org.This sermon was originally preached on 10/26/2025.
