On today's episode, we discuss the Oklahoma City bombing and the growing body of claims that the official “lone wolf” narrative leaves out key players, hidden operations, and serious investigative failures. The hosts walk through the standard account of Timothy McVeigh, Terry Nichols, and the Ryder truck bomb, then highlight eyewitness reports of a mysterious “John Doe #2,” questions about composite sketches, and the puzzlingly fast timeline from conviction to McVeigh's execution compared to typical death row cases. They delve into journalist Marguerite Roberts' new book “Blowback,” outlining her thesis that a federal sting operation aimed at infiltrating white supremacist and Aryan Republican groups may have spiraled out of control, leading agencies to cover tracks by downplaying additional conspirators and suppressing evidence. Along the way, they examine suspicious deaths like that of inmate Kenneth Trentadue, whose injuries suggest torture rather than suicide, and Oklahoma City officer Terry Yeakey, officially ruled a suicide despite his heroism at the blast site and reported doubts about the government's story. Throughout the conversation, the panel mixes grim detail with dark humor and media history—reminiscing about Rush Limbaugh and AM radio—and repeatedly reminds listeners that while many of these links are circumstantial, they see enough anomalies to justify continued skepticism and further investigation.

Is it simply a story about Moses, the plagues, and the parting of the Red Sea, or is there something much deeper taking place? In this opening message of our Exodus series, we discover that the book of Exodus is ultimately not a story about human heroes. It is the story of a faithful God who draws near to rescue His people and claim them as His own. Throughout Scripture, God consistently reveals Himself as a God who takes the initiative. He is the one who pursues, rescues, and restores. The story of Exodus begins by introducing us to this central truth. God draws near to Israel to rescue them and claim them as His own. This theme not only shapes the entire book of Exodus but also reveals the heart of the gospel and the story of the entire Bible. In this sermon, we trace the origins of God's covenant people through the promises made to Abraham. God called Abraham out of his homeland and promised to make him into a great nation through whom all the families of the earth would be blessed. Despite impossible circumstances, waiting, uncertainty, and generations of challenges, God remained faithful to His promises. Even when His people could not see what He was doing, God was working behind the scenes to accomplish His purposes. The message then takes us into the opening chapters of Exodus where we encounter a heartbreaking reality. The descendants of Abraham have multiplied just as God promised, but they are now living under oppression and slavery in Egypt. A new Pharaoh rises to power and begins to fear the growing population of Israel. What follows is one of the darkest moments in Israel's history as God's people suffer under brutal oppression and experience unimaginable loss and suffering. As we examine these difficult chapters, we are confronted with an important question. What happens when God's promises seem impossible to reconcile with our circumstances? Many believers have experienced seasons where they know God is faithful, yet life feels overwhelming, painful, or confusing. Exodus reminds us that God is still working even when we cannot yet see the rescue He is preparing. This message also introduces us to Moses, one of the most significant figures in Scripture. Born into impossible circumstances and rescued from death as an infant, Moses grows up with a complicated identity. He is born Hebrew but raised in the household of Pharaoh. He belongs to both worlds and yet feels at home in neither. His struggle with identity becomes a powerful reminder that lasting identity can never be found in status, success, background, accomplishments, or earthly labels. As Moses attempts to take matters into his own hands, he discovers the limits of human strength and self reliance. His efforts to bring justice through his own power lead to failure, isolation, and exile. Yet even in Moses' mistakes, God is preparing him for a greater purpose. The story reminds us that God's plans are not dependent upon our perfection. God often works through flawed, broken, and unlikely people to accomplish His purposes. One of the most encouraging moments in this message comes as we see Moses wrestling with God's calling. When God invites Moses into His rescue plan, Moses immediately focuses on his weaknesses, failures, and limitations. His response is one many of us can relate to. “Who am I?” Yet the story of Exodus continually points away from human ability and back toward God's faithfulness. The focus is never on what Moses can accomplish. The focus is on what God will do.

What if the strength you are looking for is found in surrender rather than self reliance? In this powerful message from Romans 8, we conclude our Ordinary Time series by exploring one of the most challenging truths of the Christian life. God calls His people to dependence, not independence. While our culture celebrates self sufficiency, achievement, and personal strength, Scripture points us toward a different path. The Holy Spirit grows our dependence on God and reveals His power in our weakness. Drawing from Romans 8:26–27, this sermon examines how the Holy Spirit helps believers in seasons when life feels overwhelming, uncertain, and beyond their control. Paul acknowledges a reality that every follower of Jesus experiences. We are weak. We do not always know what to pray. We do not always know what to do next. Yet in those moments, the Holy Spirit intercedes for us according to the will of God, reminding us that we are never alone in our struggles. This message continues the theme of Ordinary Time by addressing the everyday realities of following Jesus. While many people remember major milestones, spiritual breakthroughs, and defining moments of faith, most of life is lived in ordinary days. Monday follows Sunday. Responsibilities remain. Challenges persist. Questions linger. The Christian life is not primarily built on extraordinary moments but on daily dependence upon God through the Holy Spirit. One of the central themes of this sermon is the tension between independence and dependence. From an early age, many of us are taught to value independence. We want financial independence, personal success, and the ability to solve our own problems. Yet when that mindset shapes our relationship with God, it can create distance between us and the One who is our true source of life. Scripture reminds us that we were created to live in dependence upon God, not apart from Him. This teaching also explores Jesus' invitation to abide in Him. In John 15, Jesus describes Himself as the vine and His followers as the branches. Apart from Him, we can do nothing. Abiding is not merely a spiritual discipline. It is a posture of dependence. It is learning to remain connected to Christ as the source of our strength, wisdom, peace, and purpose. Through simple acts of prayer, Scripture reading, surrender, and trust, believers learn what it means to live daily in the presence of God. Another powerful section of this sermon focuses on weakness. In a culture that rewards strength and celebrates achievement, weakness often feels like something to hide. Yet the Apostle Paul teaches that God's power is made perfect in weakness. Through personal limitations, suffering, unanswered prayers, anxiety, grief, physical struggles, and difficult circumstances, God often reveals His strength most clearly. Rather than being obstacles to faith, our weaknesses become opportunities for the power of Christ to rest upon us. The message also highlights the importance of surrender. Using Jesus' teaching about a seed falling into the ground and dying, we are reminded that spiritual fruitfulness often comes through letting go. Following Jesus means entrusting our lives, dreams, careers, relationships, resources, and futures to God. It means choosing His purposes over our own and believing that His plans are greater than anything we could accomplish on our own. Throughout this sermon, listeners are encouraged to examine what they may be holding onto too tightly. What areas of life are being controlled by fear, self reliance, or the pursuit of independence? What would it look like to surrender those things to God and trust Him completely? These questions challenge believers to move beyond simply believing in God and into a deeper dependence upon Him.

What does it actually look like to follow Jesus in everyday life? Not just during the big spiritual moments, but in the ordinary rhythms of work, family, uncertainty, relationships, and daily routines. In this powerful message from John 14 and Romans 8, we begin the Ordinary Time series by exploring one of the most important and often misunderstood realities of the Christian life. The Holy Spirit grows our intimacy with God. As Jesus prepares His disciples for His death, resurrection, and ascension, He tells them something shocking. It is actually better for them that He goes away because the Holy Spirit will come. For the disciples, this would have been difficult to understand. They had walked with Jesus face to face. They had watched Him teach, heal, perform miracles, and transform lives. Yet Jesus promises that the Helper, the Holy Spirit, will now dwell within His followers and continue His work in them. This sermon unpacks what it means to live with the Holy Spirit in the ordinary seasons of life. From graduations to career changes to moments of uncertainty, life often moves from anticipation into reality very quickly. We all experience moments where we realize, “This is my life now.” The question becomes, how do we continue following Jesus faithfully in those ordinary moments? One of the central themes of this message is intimacy with God. Many believers are comfortable seeing God as authority, leader, or boss, but struggle to experience Him as Father. Through the work of Jesus and the presence of the Holy Spirit, believers are adopted into the family of God as sons and daughters. Romans 8 reminds us that we have not received a spirit of fear or slavery, but the Spirit of adoption by whom we cry, “Abba, Father.” This sermon also addresses several common misunderstandings about the Holy Spirit. Following the Holy Spirit is not reserved for elite Christians or spiritual experts. There is no secret formula, advanced level, or hidden knowledge required. Every believer receives the Holy Spirit at salvation, and the Holy Spirit works in every follower of Jesus to increase intimacy with God, illuminate Scripture, and shape us into the image of Christ. Throughout this teaching, we are reminded that the Christian life is not sustained through human effort alone. The fruit of the Spirit is not the result of self improvement, achievement, or performance. Love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self control are produced through the Holy Spirit working within us. God has a vision for our lives, and through the Spirit He lovingly shapes us as His children. This message also offers hope for those carrying wounds, especially wounds connected to fathers, authority, shame, or fear. Many people struggle to trust God because of painful experiences in earthly relationships. Yet through the Holy Spirit, God patiently teaches His people what it means to truly know Him as a loving Father whose acceptance and love are secure through Jesus Christ. If you have ever felt distant from God, unsure how to grow spiritually, confused about the Holy Spirit, or exhausted from trying to earn God's approval, this sermon will encourage you. It points back to the truth that intimacy with God is not something we achieve. It is something God grows in us through His Spirit. Join us as we begin the Ordinary Time series and discover how the Holy Spirit helps us follow Jesus faithfully in the everyday moments of life.

Whether we realize it or not, every life points to something. Our priorities, passions, decisions, and responses all communicate what we believe is most important. In this final message of the Why Church series, we explore 1 Peter 2:9–10 and discover one of God's greatest purposes for His church. We are called to proclaim the excellencies of Jesus Christ, the One who called us out of darkness into His marvelous light. This powerful sermon walks through the identity of God's people and reminds believers who they truly are in Christ. Peter writes to Christians facing suffering, persecution, uncertainty, and displacement. Many had lost homes, relationships, careers, and security because of their faith in Jesus. Into that pain and instability, Peter speaks truth about their identity. They are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, and a people belonging to God. This message reminds us that our identity is not rooted in our performance, success, background, or achievements. Followers of Jesus are chosen because of God's faithfulness and grace, not because they earned His love. In a world where identity constantly shifts and people search for belonging, this sermon points us back to the unchanging truth of who we are in Christ. Throughout this teaching, we see that the church is not a building or an event. The church is a people united by Jesus. No matter our background, nationality, culture, or story, believers share a new heritage and citizenship through Christ. This sermon beautifully highlights the reality that followers of Jesus belong to a greater kingdom and a greater family than anything the world can offer. One of the central themes of this sermon is understanding what it means to proclaim the excellencies of God. Proclaiming the gospel is more than simply talking about Jesus occasionally. It is living a life transformed by Him. A life radically changed by Jesus naturally points back to the One who changed it. Through our words, our actions, our relationships, our worship, and our perseverance in suffering, we testify to the goodness and grace of God. This message also provides a vivid picture of salvation through the gospel. Just as trapped people in darkness cannot rescue themselves, humanity cannot save itself from sin. Jesus came to rescue us completely. He carried us out of darkness and brought us into His marvelous light through His death and resurrection. Salvation is not something we achieve on our own. It is entirely the work of God's grace. As this sermon unfolds, we are challenged to examine our own lives. What are we proclaiming through the way we live? Are our lives pointing to comfort, success, politics, approval, or ourselves? Or are they pointing to Jesus and the transforming power of the gospel? You will also hear a compelling encouragement to remain faithful in suffering. Peter's audience faced hostility for following Jesus, yet they continued proclaiming Him with hope and joy. This message reminds believers that even in hardship, disappointment, grief, or uncertainty, God still has purpose for His people. The church exists to proclaim who Jesus is and what He has done. This sermon also celebrates the beauty of worship and community. God's people gather together not out of obligation or performance, but because praise overflows from hearts changed by grace. As we remember the darkness Jesus rescued us from, worship becomes a joyful response to His mercy and love. If you are struggling with identity, carrying suffering, wrestling with sin, or searching for purpose, this message will encourage you to look to Jesus. He is faithful. He rescues. He restores. And He calls His people to proclaim His goodness to the world.

Being Salt and Light in a World That Resists Jesus _ Benjer McVeigh _ May 3rd, 2026 [Spifxu0sJF4] by Flourishing Grace Church

This episode examines the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing not as a closed case, but as an event surrounded by unresolved questions, conflicting expert analysis, and a narrative that many argue does not fully account for the physical evidence. Drawing from engineers, explosives specialists, and firsthand accounts, we look at claims that a simple ANFO truck bomb could not have produced the pattern and scale of destruction seen at the Alfred P. Murrah Building, along with reports of changing official timelines, disputed forensic conclusions, and overlooked witness testimony. Set against a broader pattern of controversial national events, this episode challenges the listener to examine how public understanding is shaped, what information is emphasized or ignored, and why certain questions remain unanswered decades later.Website: www.foundationsinfaith.netEmail: thefacthunter@mail.com

In this opening message of the Why Church series, we explore Matthew 4:18–22 and uncover the heart behind Jesus' call to His first disciples. This sermon challenges us to rethink what the church truly is and why it matters, not just as a place we attend, but as a people called into a shared mission. As Jesus walks along the Sea of Galilee, He calls ordinary fishermen to follow Him. With just a few words, everything changes. They leave behind their nets, their livelihoods, and their plans to step into something far greater. This moment is not just a historical event. It is a picture of what it means to follow Jesus today. His call is not simply to believe something, improve our lives, or participate in a religious routine. His call is to Himself. In this sermon, we unpack three powerful phrases from Jesus' invitation. First, follow me. This is a call into relationship, not performance. Jesus does not ask for credentials or perfection. He calls people as they are and invites them to walk with Him. This reminds us that the foundation of the church is not built on what we do for God, but on being with Jesus. Second, I will make you. This is a promise of transformation. In a world that constantly tells us we must earn acceptance through achievement, success, or self improvement, Jesus offers something radically different. He takes responsibility for our growth and change. Transformation is not something we manufacture. It is something we receive as we surrender to Him. This is the heart of the gospel. Third, fishers of people. This is a call to purpose. Jesus does not separate following Him from living on mission. He gives His followers a new identity and a shared calling to invite others into relationship with Him. This is not a task reserved for a few. It is a defining part of what it means to be the church. As we follow Jesus, we help others encounter Him as well. This message also clarifies what the church is and what it is not. The church is not a building, a program, or a weekly event. It is the community of people who have surrendered their lives to Jesus across all time. When we understand this, everything changes. Church is no longer something we attend. It is who we are. Throughout this sermon, we are reminded that God's mission is to draw people to Himself, and He has chosen to work through His people to accomplish that purpose. This includes both our individual lives and our life together as a church family. Whether it is through everyday relationships, serving others, or creating opportunities for people to encounter Jesus, we are invited to participate in what God is already doing. If you have ever wondered why church matters, struggled with feeling disconnected, or questioned your purpose as a follower of Jesus, this message will challenge and encourage you. It calls us to move beyond passive faith and step into a life of intentional discipleship and mission. Join us as we begin this series and rediscover what it means to follow Jesus, be transformed by Him, and live on mission together as His church.

For more information or to get connected, please visit: www.flourishinggrace.org/plan-your-visit What does it really mean to follow Jesus with your life, not just in belief but in action? In this powerful message from Luke 24, we explore Jesus' final words to His disciples and what they mean for us today. At the end of the Gospel of Luke, after His death and resurrection, Jesus makes a clear and life shaping statement: “You are witnesses of these things.” This is not simply a command or a task to add to our already busy lives. It is an identity. It is who we are as followers of Christ. This sermon walks through the reality that being a witness is not about having all the right answers or mastering a script. A witness is simply someone who has experienced something and tells others about it. If Jesus has changed your life, then your story matters. From the suffering and sacrifice of Christ to His resurrection and the forgiveness He offers through repentance, the message of the gospel is both deeply personal and eternally significant. The call is not to perfection, but to authenticity, humility, and courage. We also address common challenges that many believers face when it comes to sharing their faith. Sometimes we focus only on the content and forget to share our personal experience. Other times we share our story but leave out the truth of the gospel itself. And in some cases, our lives do not reflect the message we are trying to communicate. This message brings clarity and encouragement, reminding us that God is not asking for performance, but for faithful presence and honesty about what He has done in our lives. A key focus of this sermon is the role of the Holy Spirit. Jesus did not leave His followers to figure this out on their own. He promised power from on high, reminding us that it is God who draws people to Himself. Our responsibility is not to control outcomes, but to trust, pray, and step into the opportunities God provides. Through real life stories and practical encouragement, this message shows how God works through ordinary people in everyday moments. You will be challenged to consider who God has placed in your life and how you can begin praying for them. Whether it is a neighbor, coworker, friend, or family member, God is already at work. As you pray for opportunities, trust the Holy Spirit, and remain faithful over time, you may be surprised at how God uses your story to impact others. As we close out the Gospel of Luke, this message invites you to reflect on your own journey with Jesus. Have you experienced His forgiveness, His grace, and His transforming power? If so, you already have a story worth sharing. And if you are still exploring faith, Jesus invites you to come and see, just as He did with His first followers. Join us as we discover what it means to live as witnesses of Jesus, not out of obligation, but out of a life that has truly been changed.

In this powerful and honest sermon, we walk through Luke 24:1–12 and explore the reality of the resurrection of Jesus Christ through the lens of doubt, questions, and faith. This message is for anyone who has ever wrestled with uncertainty, struggled to believe, or wondered if the story of Jesus is truly real. On the first Easter morning, no one expected the resurrection. The women who went to the tomb were not anticipating a miracle. The apostles did not believe the initial reports. Even Peter, after seeing the empty tomb, walked away still trying to make sense of it all. These moments remind us that doubt is not something to be ashamed of. In fact, doubt can be a meaningful part of the journey toward truth when it leads us to ask honest questions and seek real answers. In this sermon, we explore three snapshots of people encountering the empty tomb. The women arrive perplexed, unsure of what has happened. The apostles dismiss the news as unbelievable, struggling to trust what they have heard. Peter begins to move toward belief, yet hesitates to fully respond. Each of these responses reflects something deeply human and relatable in all of us. This Easter message challenges us to consider where we are in our own journey. Are we relying on our own understanding rather than trusting in God's power. Are we surrounding ourselves with community but resisting the truth of God's Word. Are we beginning to believe but holding back from taking action. These questions invite us to examine not only what we believe, but how we respond to what we believe. At the center of this message is one defining truth. Either Jesus is alive or He is not. The resurrection is not simply a symbolic idea or a hopeful story. It is a claim that changes everything. If Jesus truly rose from the dead, then it reshapes our understanding of life, purpose, forgiveness, and hope. It calls us to move beyond passive belief and into a life that is transformed by faith. This sermon also reminds us that faith is not about having everything figured out. It is about following the evidence, engaging with the truth, and allowing God to meet us in our questions. The people in Luke 24 did not begin with certainty, but they encountered the reality of the risen Christ and their lives were never the same. Whether you are new to church, exploring Christianity, or have been following Jesus for years, this message is an invitation to take your next step. Do not stay stuck in uncertainty. Pursue the truth. Ask the hard questions. And consider what it means if Jesus really is alive. If this message encouraged you, be sure to like, subscribe, and share it with someone who may need to hear it. Thank you for joining us this Easter as we celebrate the hope, truth, and life found in Jesus Christ.

What does it truly mean to remember Jesus and why does communion matter so deeply for the life of a believer? In this powerful sermon from Luke 22, we explore the meaning behind the Last Supper and discover how Jesus transforms the Passover meal into something far greater. This message walks through the moment Jesus shares bread and cup with His disciples and reveals the heart of the gospel through remembrance, sacrifice, and the promise of a new covenant. As Jesus gathers with His disciples, He is not reacting to events unfolding around Him. He is fully in control, intentionally moving toward the cross. Even in the presence of betrayal, opposition, and spiritual warfare, Jesus is orchestrating redemption. This passage reminds us that nothing about the cross was accidental. It was the plan from the beginning, and it was carried out for you and for me. In this teaching, we unpack the deep connection between the Old Testament Passover and the work of Christ. The Passover pointed back to God rescuing His people from slavery in Egypt. Jesus takes that same meal and redirects it to Himself, showing that He is the true and better fulfillment. The bread becomes a symbol of His body given for us. The cup becomes the sign of a new covenant, not based on our ability to remain faithful, but on His finished work on the cross. This sermon also highlights a powerful truth about spiritual memory. What we remember shapes who we are. When we forget what Jesus has done, we become anchored to fear, shame, and the lies of the world. But when we remember the gospel, we are grounded in our identity as forgiven, redeemed, and adopted children of God. Communion is not just a ritual. It is a weekly reminder of what is most true about us. Through a moving story and biblical teaching, this message challenges us to consider what we are anchoring our lives to. When everything else fades, when life becomes uncertain, and when the things we depend on fall away, what remains? The call is simple but profound. Remember and proclaim. Remember what Jesus has done. Proclaim it with your life. This is why the church gathers. This is why we take communion. Not out of routine, but out of deep need. We need to remember the sacrifice of Christ. We need to proclaim His death and resurrection until He returns. This message will encourage you to see communion with fresh eyes and to anchor your life in the unshakable truth of the gospel. If you are searching for meaning, struggling with doubt, or simply wanting to grow deeper in your faith, this sermon will point you back to the foundation that never fails. Jesus is enough. His sacrifice is sufficient. And His covenant is secure forever. Join us as we walk through Luke 22 and rediscover the beauty of remembering and proclaiming the good news of Jesus Christ.

Will Robinson, VP of Exploration at West Red Lake Gold Mines (TSX.V:WRLG) (OTCQB:WRLGF), joins me for an expanded visual presentation on a number of underground and surface exploration targets of focus at and near the Madsen Mine and Rowan Deposit, in the Red Lake district of Ontario, Canada.   We start off with the big picture lay of the land across the Madsen Mine area, and then vector in on the new high-grade gold results from the 4447 Zone and 904 Complex areas at South Austin.   Will also highlights the speed at which their team can turn a geologic thesis, into drill results, and then get that data into the mine plan, with their improving understanding of the geological model and underground infrastructure advantages.   We also review the planned work to develop the 13-level exploration drift to get over into parts of Austin, East Drive, and Derlak areas that haven't had good underground access for drilling.  The ultra high-grade 8-Zone is reviewed again, with Will pointing out that the narrow zone of mineralization is open in both directions and more exploration along trend is required.   Moving up closer to surface, we spend some time outlining how their exploration and engineering teams completed a re-evaluation of the Fork deposit pointing to its shallow, high-grade, low-plunging zone of gold mineralization that is located approximately 250 meters southwest from existing underground development at Madsen.  The exploration team did another 3,000 meters of definition drilling from surface last year, which demonstrated in the value in eventually tunneling over from McVeigh into some of the high-grade areas of mineralization while also looking for mineralized extensions.  Then even further over from Fork is the historic producing Starratt-Olsen mine, which has shown promising high-grade gold mineralization at depth and will be getting some exploration focus in the year to come.   Rounding it out at surface, Will flagged a number of other priority greenfields exploration targets like North Shore, Upper 8, Faulkenham, and Killoran.  These areas have returned compelling mapping, soil sampling, and limited drilling in the past, and warrant more follow up in the exploration seasons to come.   If you have any follow up questions for Will or the team over at West Red Lake Gold please email them into me at  Shad@kereport.com.   In full disclosure, Shad is shareholder of West Red Lake Gold Mines at the time of this recording, and may choose to buy or sell shares at any time.   Click here to follow the latest news at West Red Lake Gold   Click here to view the VIDEO version of this podcast on YouTube   For more market commentary & interview summaries, subscribe to our Substacks:   The KE Report: https://kereport.substack.com/ Shad's resource market commentary: https://excelsiorprosperity.substack.com/     Investment disclaimer: This content is for informational and educational purposes only and does not constitute investment advice, an offer, or a solicitation to buy or sell any security.

Join Us for Worship: Sundays at 9:00 AM & 11:00 AM https://www.flourishinggrace.org/plan... In this sermon from Flourishing Grace Church, Pastor Benjer preaches through Luke 20:9–19, the parable of the tenants, and shows why this story is one of the clearest snapshots of the whole Bible in just a few verses. Jesus tells of a landowner who plants a vineyard, entrusts it to tenants, and then sends servants to receive fruit, only for each servant to be rejected, shamed, and harmed. Benjer explains how Jesus is summarizing Israel's history, with the servants representing the prophets God sent again and again, and how the violence against them exposes a pattern of resisting God's authority. The parable is not just an ancient farming story but a direct confrontation of the spiritual posture that takes what belongs to God and treats it like personal property. Pastor Benjer connects the vineyard imagery to Isaiah 5, where God describes Israel as His carefully tended vineyard and grieves that it produced wild grapes instead of the fruit of justice and righteousness. In Luke 20, Jesus adds a striking twist: tenants. These tenants represent religious leaders who were meant to shepherd God's people but began to use their position for their own power, comfort, and control. The sermon unpacks how the crowd understands the implications of Jesus' words when He says the vineyard will be taken from the tenants and given to others. This is not a minor leadership change but a massive shift in how God's people will relate to Him, moving away from gatekeeping and toward the reality fulfilled in Jesus. A central focus of this message is the shocking moment when the landowner decides to send his beloved son. Benjer highlights how this is not naïve optimism but the heart of God's plan, that the Son would come in vulnerability, take on flesh, and be rejected by the very people He came to save. The sermon ties the parable to the cornerstone language from Psalm 118 and to the New Testament's witness that Jesus is the rejected stone who becomes the cornerstone. Benjer points to passages like Hebrews 1 to emphasize that God's final and decisive word is spoken in His Son, and to Romans 5 to show that God proves His love in that Christ died for us while we were still sinners. This sermon also presses into a personal diagnosis: we are not owners, we are tenants. Just like the tenants in the parable who used violence to seize what was not theirs, we often grasp for control and claim authority over our lives, our resources, our relationships, our careers, our bodies, our desires, and our dreams. Benjer asks a piercing question that sits at the center of the message: what has God given you to tend for His purposes that you lay claim to for yours. He explains why following Jesus can feel frustrating, because Jesus does not simply offer inspiration, He walks through the rooms of our lives like the rightful owner. The sermon invites listeners to consider where resentment has grown, where a key has been withheld, and where surrender is needed. To illustrate this surrender, Benjer references the classic book My Heart, Christ's Home, using the image of Jesus identifying a locked closet where something dead and hidden has been kept. This becomes a powerful picture of confession, trust, and the hard honesty of discipleship. The message broadens beyond obvious sin to include grief, unmet desires, and the preferred future that never arrived, the vineyard we imagined years ago that looks nothing like the vineyard we are living in now. Benjer speaks candidly about pain and disappointment while still calling listeners to release ownership and trust God's goodness and purposes.

In today's sermon at Flourishing Grace Church in Bountiful, Utah, Pastor Benjer teaches from Luke 19:45–20:8, a pivotal moment in Holy Week when Jesus enters Jerusalem, cleanses the temple, and then faces a public challenge from the chief priests, scribes, and elders: “By what authority do you do these things?” In the Court of the Gentiles, the one place intentionally set apart for non Jews and seekers to draw near to the God of Israel, worship had been crowded out. During Passover, Jerusalem swelled with travelers, animals, trading, and noise, and the leaders treated sacred space like it belonged to them. Jesus quotes the prophets to expose the deeper problem. Isaiah 56 shows God's heart for outsiders, foreigners, and outcasts, that God's house would be called a house of prayer for all peoples. Jeremiah 7 confronts the lie that religious activity can function like spiritual insurance, “the temple of the Lord” repeated like a mantra while injustice, oppression, and idolatry continue unchecked. When Jesus calls the temple a “den of robbers,” he is not only condemning corruption, he is revealing how the human heart turns religion into a safe house, a place to hide after we do what we want, instead of a place to meet the holy God who transforms us. This sermon is an invitation to let the Word of God do surgery beneath the surface. We can attend church, sing, confess, serve, join a table group, and even pray, yet still use those good gifts as cover for what is happening Monday through Saturday, how we treat our spouse, our coworkers, our neighbors, what we scroll, what we say, what we keep secret, and what we refuse to bring into the light. Pastor Benjer names three ways this shows up: first, “stuff it under the bed” Christianity, where everything looks tidy on the outside but the bins are packed with unresolved sin, hurt, and grief. Second, treating Sunday like a giant eraser, where we want the feeling of a reset without the healing of confession, repentance, and community. Third, loving church but never surrendering to Jesus, getting stuck at signposts like music, community, or routines, and missing the Person they are meant to point toward. In Luke 20, Jesus responds to the leaders by asking about John's baptism. It is not a dodge, it is a mirror. If John's ministry was from heaven, then Jesus' authority is from God. If it was merely from man, then the leaders can keep control. Their refusal to answer exposes a heart that fears people and protects power, and it warns us about the same impulse in our own lives. The good news is that Jesus does not discard God's promises because people misuse them. He fulfills them. He is greater than the temple, and all Scripture points to him. If you have been hurt by hypocrisy, disappointed by Christians, or tempted to conclude the gospel is not true, Jesus invites you to look at him, not at the failures of religious performance. As we worship, we want to make space for prayer, just like we did as a church this week during Ash Wednesday as we set aside time to sit with Jesus, open the Bible, and listen to the Holy Spirit. If you are not yet a follower of Jesus, today can be your day to say yes to Christ. If you are a believer but you know there are things underneath the surface that need honesty and healing, you are not alone.

Worship with us 9 + 11am 390 N 400 E Bountiful, UT 84010 https://www.flourishinggrace.org/plan... Today's sermon centers on the encounter between Jesus and Zacchaeus, a passage that reveals the heart of the gospel and the transforming power of grace. Preaching from the Gospel of Luke 19:1-10, Pastor Benjer explores how Jesus seeks out sinners, calls them by name, and brings salvation that does more than forgive. It reorders allegiance, exposes sin, and gives new purpose. The message confronts a deeply personal question many carry beneath the surface: Is Jesus willing to come near to someone like me. Zacchaeus is introduced as a chief tax collector and rich, meaning his wealth was built on betrayal and injustice. He had aligned himself with the Roman oppressors and enriched himself at the expense of his own people. His sin was not subtle and his reputation was deserved. The sermon makes clear that Zacchaeus represents more than an individual story. He reflects the reality that our sin and our allegiances often stand opposed to God. We build identity, security, and control around things that cannot save us. Yet Luke tells us Zacchaeus was seeking to see who Jesus was. His curiosity was more than intellectual interest. He had grown dissatisfied with the answers his old life provided. Willing to look foolish, he climbed a tree to catch a glimpse of Christ. The message highlights that true spiritual curiosity often begins when previous sources of meaning no longer satisfy. For those who are skeptical, wounded, or unsure, this moment reveals that honest seeking matters. The turning point comes when Jesus stops beneath the tree, looks up, and calls Zacchaeus by name. Rather than waiting for Zacchaeus to clean himself up, Jesus says, “I must stay at your house today.” The sermon emphasizes that while Zacchaeus was looking for Jesus, Jesus had already been pursuing him. Salvation begins with divine initiative. Christ moves toward sinners with presence and fellowship before transformation has occurred. The crowd grumbles because they know Zacchaeus's history, and their complaint is not unfounded. He has harmed real people. Yet grace does not deny the seriousness of sin. It confronts it honestly. When Zacchaeus calls Jesus Lord, his allegiance shifts. He gives half of his possessions to the poor and promises fourfold restitution. This generosity is not an attempt to earn salvation, but evidence that salvation has already begun to reshape his heart. He now sees the weight of his sin and the worth of his Savior. Jesus declares, “Today salvation has come to this house,” and identifies Zacchaeus as a son of Abraham, pointing back to God's covenant promise to bless the nations. The Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost. This sermon invites listeners to examine what sits on the throne of their lives and to consider whether they want Jesus to reassure them or to rule them. It is a call to surrender, repentance, and trust in Christ alone. Whether you are exploring Christianity or have followed Jesus for years, Luke 19 reminds us that no one encounters Jesus and walks away unchanged.

Worship with us 9 + 11am 390 N 400 E Bountiful, UT 84010 https://www.flourishinggrace.org/plan-your-visit As we continue our verse by verse journey through the Gospel of Luke, we arrive at the triumphal entry of Jesus in Luke 19:28 to 44. This passage is often read on Palm Sunday, yet Luke highlights specific details to answer a defining question for every person: what kind of King is Jesus? In a world where leadership shapes families, workplaces, communities, and nations, Luke invites us to consider who is truly in charge and who is shaping our lives. We may assume we are fully in control of our decisions, priorities, and identity, but every day we are influenced by voices, desires, fears, pressures, and countless messages that compete for authority over our hearts. The question is not whether something or someone is ruling us, but what kind of ruler it is and whether it can actually give us life. In this sermon, Pastor Benjer shows how Luke reveals Jesus as a King with real authority. Jesus intentionally fulfills Old Testament prophecy as He enters Jerusalem, including the promise from Zechariah that Israel's King would come humble and riding on a donkey. Jesus directs His disciples to a colt that has never been ridden, and His words, “The Lord has need of it,” point to His rightful claim over all things. The crowds respond with praise, quoting Scripture and celebrating Jesus as King, while the Pharisees recognize the danger of His claim. Jesus is not merely a teacher with good ideas, but the promised Messiah, the King of Kings, and the Lord of Lords. Luke makes clear that Jesus has authority not only over a city and a moment in history, but over creation itself. Luke also reveals Jesus as a King who is humble. While earthly rulers enter with power displays and war horses, Jesus comes on a donkey. He does not enter Jerusalem for conquest, but for sacrifice. His path to victory goes through the cross. This confronts our expectations because we often want a Messiah who confirms our strength, protects our preferences, and defeats our enemies on our timeline. Yet Jesus redefines power through surrender, calling His followers to deny themselves, take up their cross, and follow Him. True strength in the Kingdom of God is marked by humility, service, obedience, and love. The way of Jesus challenges cultural definitions of greatness and invites us to lay down our rights for the good of others, beginning in our homes, relationships, workplaces, and communities. Finally, Luke shows Jesus as a King who saves. As Jesus approaches Jerusalem, He does not posture in anger. He weeps. His tears reveal His heart for the people who are about to reject Him. He longs for them to know “the things that make for peace,” not merely the absence of conflict, but reconciliation with God. Jesus warns of the consequences of refusing His visitation, and the passage shows both the seriousness of judgment and the tenderness of His mercy. Jesus came to save, not to condemn. His authority is not cold control, and His humility is not weakness. Together they reveal the heart of a Savior King who willingly lays down His life so that sinners can be forgiven, made new, and brought home to God. If you are exploring faith, this message is an invitation to consider Jesus honestly. Either He is the promised King who came to die and rise again, or He is not. If you are a Christian, this passage calls you to yield every area of life to His authority and to follow His way of humility. Flourishing Grace Church exists to help ordinary people encounter an extraordinary God, and we pray this sermon strengthens your faith, steadies your heart, and leads you to trust King Jesus more deeply.

Shane Williams, President and CEO of West Red Lake Gold Mines (TSX.V:WRLG – OTCQB:WRLGF), joins me to highlight the major company milestone last month of declaring commercial gold production at their 100% owned Madsen Mine; located in the Red Lake Gold District of Northwestern Ontario, Canada.  Additionally, we discuss both the exploration and development upside to access new high-grade areas of Madsen, and also to incorporate the satellite Rowan deposit into the expanded growth in their production profile over the next couple of years.   The Company announced on January 12th that the Madsen Mine achieved commercial production as of January 1, 2026. The mill averaged 689 tonnes per day (“tpd”) in December 2025. This represents 86% of permitted throughput of 800 tpd and meets the Company's internal commercial production requirement of 30 consecutive days of mill throughput at 65% or greater of permitted capacity. Operational stability, the other internal requirement, is also in place at Madsen. Consistent strong mill recoveries, which averaged 94.6% in December, enabled production of 3,215 ounces of gold.   Shane outlines how diligently the operations team has worked to achieve commercial production only seven months after completion of the bulk sample.  While they are not at full production capacity here in early 2026, the plan it to continue to ramp up from this strong base, and then reach sustained permitted capacity by mid-2026.  For this first quarter (Q1) of 2026, the mill feed will come predominantly from the 4447 area, the high-grade zone in South Austin that the Company defined in 2025. Mill feed is expected to average in excess of 6 grams per tonne gold (“g/t Au) in Q1.   Next we review all the development work in their underground operations that led up to gaining the confidence mining at Madsen since the middle of last year, opening of stopes in multiple areas like Austin and South Austin in addition to McVeigh.  Then we look ahead to other areas of growth like the new 904 high-grade zone in Lower Austin, the potential to drift over to Fork for 2027, as well as the potential to supplement mill throughput with ore from the satellite Rowan deposit in the next couple years. There has been ongoing drilling at these areas over the last few months which will continue moving forward, further defining the areas for expanded resources and future production growth.     If you have any follow up questions for Shane regarding West Red Lake Gold, then please email me at Shad@kereport.com.   In full disclosure, Shad is shareholder of West Red Lake Gold Mines at the time of this recording, and may choose to buy or sell shares at any time.   Click here to follow the latest news from West Red Lake Gold Mines   Click here to watch the Corporate Video showcasing the move into commercial production at the Madsen Mine.   For more market commentary & interview summaries, subscribe to our Substacks:   The KE Report: https://kereport.substack.com/ Shad's resource market commentary: https://excelsiorprosperity.substack.com/     Investment disclaimer: This content is for informational and educational purposes only and does not constitute investment advice, an offer, or a solicitation to buy or sell any security.

Originally recorded in 3 parts, The OKC Bombing. ⁠www.patreon.com/theconspiracypodcast⁠On April 19, 1995, at 9:02 a.m., a massive truck bomb detonated outside the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City, killing 168 people—including 19 children—and injuring hundreds more. The explosion destroyed nearly half the building and left the nation stunned, marking one of the deadliest acts of domestic terrorism in American history.This episode presents a comprehensive, start-to-finish examination of the Oklahoma City bombing. It begins with a detailed reconstruction of the events leading up to the attack and the moments immediately following the blast, including the chaos, devastation, and extraordinary rescue efforts carried out by first responders and volunteers. The scale of the destruction and the human cost of the tragedy are laid out in stark detail.The episode then turns to the official investigation and prosecution of Timothy McVeigh. It explores how McVeigh was identified, arrested during a routine traffic stop just 90 minutes after the bombing, and ultimately convicted. Key evidence, witness testimony, and the broader ideological motivations behind the attack are examined, along with the role of anti-government extremism in the 1990s.From there, the discussion expands beyond the official narrative to explore the questions and controversies that have lingered for decades. The episode investigates claims of additional accomplices, unresolved inconsistencies, and the circumstances surrounding the death of Oklahoma City police officer Sergeant Terry Yeakey—a decorated hero of the rescue effort whose death was officially ruled a suicide, but remains a focal point of ongoing speculation.The episode concludes by examining how conspiracy theories surrounding the bombing developed, why they persist, and how tragedy, distrust, and unanswered questions continue to shape public perception nearly thirty years later.

Worship with us 9 + 11am 390 N 400 E Bountiful, UT 84010 https://flourishinggrace.org/plan-your-visit In Luke 18:9–17, Jesus tells a parable that confronts one of the deepest instincts of the human heart: the need to justify ourselves. He speaks to those who trusted in themselves that they were righteous and, as a result, treated others with contempt. Through the story of a Pharisee and a tax collector praying in the temple, Jesus exposes the danger of turning faith into an achievement project and reminds us that the kingdom of God is received, not earned. The Pharisee's prayer sounds impressive on the surface. He fasts, he tithes, and he obeys the law. Yet his prayer is ultimately directed at himself. He measures his standing before God by comparing himself to others and concludes that God should be pleased with him because of what he has done. In contrast, the tax collector stands at a distance, unable even to lift his eyes to heaven. His prayer is simple and desperate: “God, be merciful to me, a sinner.” This is not a request for a second chance to try harder, but an appeal for God to cover what his sin has broken. Jesus shocks His audience by declaring that the tax collector, not the Pharisee, goes home justified. This moment reveals a core truth of the gospel: righteousness before God is not achieved through moral performance but received through humility. To be justified is to be made right by God, and Scripture makes clear that this is God's work, not ours. When we believe we bring something to the table—our discipline, our obedience, our spiritual résumé—we inevitably begin to look down on others. Self-righteousness and contempt always grow together. Jesus immediately reinforces this teaching by welcoming children, even infants, and declaring that the kingdom of God belongs to such as these. In the ancient world, children had no status and nothing to offer. They were entirely dependent. Jesus is not praising innocence or trustfulness as much as He is highlighting dependence. Children receive; they do not contribute. In the same way, we enter the kingdom by bringing nothing but our need. This truth reshapes everything. It transforms our intimacy with God, because we stop trying to earn His presence and instead learn to yield to His grace. It reframes our purpose in the kingdom, reminding us that God works through weakness, not self-sufficiency. And it changes how we share Jesus with others. Contempt never leads people to transformation, but humility rooted in grace is compelling and life-giving. The message of Luke 18 is both humbling and freeing. We are not saved because of what we do, and we are not sustained by our performance. We bring nothing to the table but our sin, our need, and our brokenness—and Jesus brings everything. This is the posture of the kingdom, and it is the good news that changes us and, through us, the world.

Tragedy unfolded on April 19, 1995, when a massive bomb exploded in America's Heartland, killing 168 people, including 15 children in their daycare center.Thirty years later, it still stands as America's deadliest domestic terror attack.History says the Oklahoma City bombing was a lone-wolf terror by Timothy McVeigh, a twenty-six-year-old Gulf War Army veteran.Yet the FBI never captured the second suspect who rode next to McVeigh in the bomb truck. Soon the Bureau canceled its global manhunt for “John Doe 2,” claiming twenty-four eyewitnesses who saw him with McVeigh were mistaken. None of this rings true to award-winning journalist Margaret Roberts. As former news director of America's Most Wanted, she worked high-profile manhunts alongside the FBI. How could so many witnesses be wrong?Blowback chronicles Roberts's investigation into a baffling prison murder mystery wrapped inside the Oklahoma City bombing case. In pursuit of answers, she conducts journalism's only face-to-face prison interviews with McVeigh co-conspirator Terry Nichols.Contrary to the official story of lone-wolf terror, Roberts uncovers evidence of a sprawling neo-Nazi plot behind the bombing in which the FBI played a hidden role. Then, while covering its tracks, the FBI allowed terror suspects to walk free, denied the bombing victims justice, and hid the truth from all of us.After an FBI whistleblower steps forward, Roberts puts the puzzle together, though one burning mystery remains: The FBI has kept surveillance videotape of McVeigh's accomplice locked away all these years. Is John Doe 2 the FBl's guilty secret?BookBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-opperman-report--1198501/support.

Worship with us 9 + 11am 390 N 400 E Bountiful, UT 84010 https://flourishinggrace.org/plan-your-visit Sermon: One Returned | Luke 17:11–19 In this message from Luke 17:11–19, we encounter a powerful and searching story as Jesus heals ten lepers while traveling toward Jerusalem. All ten are cleansed. Only one returns. This passage invites us to examine not only what Jesus gives, but how we respond to him. As Jesus passes through the border region between Samaria and Galilee, he meets ten men whose lives have been defined by isolation, suffering, and loss. Bound together by shared pain despite deep cultural and religious divisions, they cry out from a distance, asking Jesus for mercy. Jesus responds by sending them to the priests, and as they go, they are cleansed. Their obedience is real, and the healing is complete. They receive exactly what they asked for. But the story does not end there. One man, a Samaritan, recognizes the significance of what has happened. He turns back, praising God with a loud voice, and falls at Jesus' feet in gratitude and worship. While all ten were cleansed, only one is described as being made whole. Jesus' words to him are striking: “Rise and go your way; your faith has made you well.” This healing is not only physical, but spiritual. It is the difference between receiving a restored life and receiving new life. This sermon presses us to consider an important distinction. It is possible to experience the goodness of God, to receive his gifts, and yet return to life as it was before. The nine did nothing overtly wrong. They were obedient. They were healed. They went on their way. But the one who returned understood the source of his healing and surrendered himself fully to Jesus. The message challenges us to reflect honestly on our own posture toward Christ. Are we content with being helped by Jesus, or have we fallen at his feet in surrender? Are we hearers of the word without allowing it to shape our lives? Do we limit following Jesus to an hour on Sunday, or does our faith carry into the ordinary and difficult moments of the week? Is there evidence of transformation, not perfection, but fruit that flows from abiding in him? This is not a call to earn God's love. Scripture is clear that Christ died for us while we were still sinners. Rather, it is an invitation to receive salvation fully, not merely relief or improvement, but new life rooted in relationship with Jesus. Gratitude alone is not the same as surrender. The gospel calls us beyond thank you into trust, obedience, and transformation. As a church, this message also calls us to look past the many good gifts God has given and continue pursuing the Giver himself. Growth, joy, and blessing are meaningful, but they are never the destination. The heart of faith is found at the feet of Jesus. Whether you are exploring faith for the first time or have followed Jesus for many years, this message invites reflection. What would it look like for you to turn back? What would surrender look like in your life today? Jesus is a gentle and faithful Savior, and he welcomes all who come to him. Scripture Reading: Luke 17:11–19 Speaker: Pastor Benjer McVeigh Church: Flourishing Grace Church We pray this message encourages you to look beyond the gifts and find life at the feet of Jesus.

Worship with us 9 + 11am 390 N 400 E Bountiful, UT 84010 https://flourishinggrace.org/plan-your-visit Celebrate Christmas with a powerful and hope filled message centered on John 1:14 and the heart of the gospel. In this Christmas sermon from Flourishing Grace Church, Pastor Benjer walks through one of the most profound truths in Scripture: the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, full of grace and truth. This message invites you to slow down in the middle of the holiday rush and reflect on what it truly means that God came near, not from a distance, but by stepping fully into our humanity. Using a personal story about a father rushing to the scene of his child's car accident, this sermon paints a vivid picture of the incarnation. Just as a loving parent grabs the keys and runs toward their child in crisis, Jesus came running toward us. He did not stay far off or offer advice from a distance. He entered our brokenness, our fear, our grief, and our pain. This Christmas message reminds us that the incarnation is not abstract theology but deeply personal good news. Pastor Benjer unpacks why John calls Jesus the Word, connecting the opening of John's Gospel to Genesis and showing that Jesus is not merely a teacher or moral example but the eternal Creator God through whom all things were made. Life itself is found in Him, and the light He brings cannot be overcome by darkness. Whether this past year felt full of joy or heavy with sorrow, this sermon speaks to the universal longing for life, meaning, and hope. The message also explores what it means that the Word became flesh and dwelt among us. Jesus did not do a flyover of humanity. He pitched His tent among us. He experienced hunger, weakness, temptation, rejection, sorrow, and grief. Drawing from Hebrews and Isaiah, this sermon highlights Jesus as a Savior who sympathizes with our weaknesses and is acquainted with grief, offering comfort to those carrying pain this Christmas season. Finally, the sermon centers on Jesus being full of grace and truth. Grace that is undeserved and freely given, and truth that names our brokenness honestly while still offering rescue. This is not a harsh God lacking compassion, nor a permissive God without direction, but a Savior who holds both perfectly. The invitation of Christmas is simple and beautiful: receive and trust. To all who receive Him and believe in His name, He gives the right to become children of God. Whether you are a lifelong follower of Jesus, someone who feels weary and in need of rest, or someone exploring faith for the first time, this Christmas message invites you to see the beauty of a God who came near. God is here. He grabbed the keys. He came to rescue.

Worship with us 9 + 11am 390 N 400 E Bountiful, UT 84010 https://flourishinggrace.org/plan-you... In this reflective sermon from Flourishing Grace Church, Pastor Benjer walks through Ecclesiastes 3:1–15 and invites the church into a rare and needed pause at the turn of the year. As one season closes and another begins, this message speaks to the universal experience of looking back on what has been and looking forward to what is unknown. Grounded in the famous words that there is a time for everything under heaven, this teaching offers a thoughtful and pastoral framework for engaging the joys, sorrows, and hopes of the year behind us and the year ahead. Pastor Benjer explores the often misunderstood phrase that God has made everything beautiful in its time. Rather than suggesting that every event is pleasant or easy, this sermon explains how the biblical meaning of beautiful also carries the sense of fitting or purposeful within God's larger story. For those who feel skeptical or wounded by painful experiences, this message creates space for honesty while affirming God's sovereignty, goodness, and mercy. It acknowledges that some moments feel deeply unbeautiful while still trusting that God is at work beyond what we can see. The sermon moves through three intentional movements that shape how believers are invited to process the year. First, it calls listeners to look back in praise, not by pretending circumstances were easy, but by making God's goodness and character known regardless of how the year felt. Drawing from the Psalms, Pastor Benjer reminds the church that praise is not denial but remembrance, and that worship helps reorient hearts toward who God is and how He works. Even when personal strength is lacking, the gathered church carries one another through shared praise. Second, the message invites the congregation to look back in mourning. In a culture that avoids grief and distraction, this sermon affirms that Scripture commands God's people to mourn, weep, and bring sorrow honestly before Him. Referencing Ecclesiastes, the Psalms, and Jesus' words in Matthew, Pastor Benjer emphasizes that mourning is not weakness but faith. Vulnerability with God deepens intimacy with God, and lament becomes a pathway to comfort rather than something to avoid. This portion of the sermon speaks directly to those carrying loss, disappointment, and unresolved pain from the year. Finally, the message turns toward looking forward in hope. Acknowledging the fear and uncertainty that come with an unknown future, Pastor Benjer anchors hope not in circumstances improving but in the unchanging nature of God. Ecclesiastes reminds us that whatever God does endures forever, and that truth both humbles and stabilizes us. While humans long to control outcomes, this sermon gently redirects that desire toward trust, prayer, and persistence. God is already in the future, and because He is already there, believers are invited to pray boldly, hope deeply, and refuse to give up. This sermon culminates in a moment of quiet reflection and prayer, offering space for worshipers to name gratitude, grief, and longing before God. It is a message for anyone standing between seasons, carrying both thankfulness and ache, and wondering what comes next. With pastoral warmth and theological depth, this teaching reminds us that our hope is anchored not in what we can predict, but in the God who holds time itself.

It's an invitation to slow down, to pause, and to truly see why the good news of Jesus isn't just true—it's beautiful. Many of us have been taught to defend Christianity primarily on whether it's factually accurate. That matters deeply. But for many people, especially those who've been hurt by religion, the bigger question is this: Even if it's true… is it good? Is it compelling? Is it beautiful? In this Advent message, we return to Isaiah 52:7–10, a passage that declares how beautiful the good news is—the announcement that God reigns. Long before Jesus was born, Isaiah envisioned a herald running over the mountains announcing peace, salvation, and the reign of God. This is not sentimental religion. This is a proclamation that changes everything. In this sermon, we explore what the “gospel” really is—not a self-improvement plan, not a checklist, not a set of religious instructions—but an announcement: King Jesus reigns. We walk through three reasons why this good news is truly beautiful: Jesus conquers through surrender Unlike every other king in history, Jesus wins by losing. He conquers not by crushing His enemies, but by becoming the Lamb who was slain. Power made perfect in weakness. Sin and death are dethroned The gospel doesn't promise perfection in this life—but it does promise a new King. Even in the rubble, the waste places, and the broken parts of our stories, God brings life. You don't have to hide your struggles. You are no longer owned by sin or death. The King has rescued you The gospel is not a plan for you to execute—it's a rescue accomplished by God Himself. Salvation is not something you achieve; it's something you receive. God rolls up His sleeves and does for us what we could never do for ourselves. This message is especially for: – Those who are tired of striving – Those who feel burdened by religious performance – Those who have been hurt by Christianity but still wonder if Jesus might be different – Those longing for peace in the middle of anxiety, grief, addiction, or uncertainty Jesus' invitation is simple and radical: yield. Step off the throne of your life and trust the gentle, good King who surrendered Himself for you. As we prepare for Christmas, we are reminded that when everything feels like it's falling apart, Jesus is still on His throne—and He is not distant, harsh, or indifferent. He is gentle and lowly in heart, and He offers rest for weary souls. If you're skeptical, searching, exhausted, or curious—this message is for you. Scripture: Isaiah 52:7–10 Series: Advent Theme: The Beauty of the Gospel If this message resonates with you, consider watching all the way through, sharing it with someone who needs hope this season, or joining us for Christmas Eve as we celebrate the coming of the King. The good news is beautiful. And King Jesus has come for you.

In this Advent sermon from Flourishing Grace Church, Pastor Benjer opens Isaiah 9:1-7 and invites us to see the Christmas story as the ultimate great reversal. Just like our favorite Pixar stories that move from ordinary life to crisis and then to a surprising, beautiful resolution, the Bible tells the true story of people walking in deep darkness who suddenly see a great light. Long before Jesus was born, Isaiah prophesied to a people under judgment, weighed down by their own sin, injustice, and idolatry. The land of Zebulun and Naphtali felt the brunt of God's discipline first, but in the kindness of God they were also the first to see the grace and mercy of Jesus when He began His ministry in Galilee. Where there was gloom, anguish, and spiritual night, God promised joy, freedom, and a decisive victory over every oppressor. As we walk through Advent, Pastor Benjer explains that this season is not just sentimental buildup to Christmas. It is a season of honest waiting, longing, and hope, where we learn to pause, rejoice, ask, and yield before God. Isaiah 9 shows us that the light of Christ is not something we produce by trying harder or fixing ourselves. When you stand in deep darkness, you cannot make your own light. Instead, God Himself breaks in. The Messiah shines into the very places we cannot manage, clean up, or control. The people who walked in darkness have seen a great light because the light came to them. At the center of this message is the truth that we are not the heroes of our own story. We try to carry the weight of our pain, our sin, our responsibilities, and our fears on our own shoulders. We put our hope in careers, relationships, possessions, or our own strength, only to end up exhausted and disappointed. Isaiah reminds us that the government is on Jesus' shoulders, not ours. He is given four titles that reach beneath our surface desires into our deepest longings. As Wonderful Counselor, He brings divine wisdom and miraculous guidance right into the mess of real life. As Mighty God, He is not just a helpful friend but the victorious warrior who fights the battles we cannot win. As Everlasting Father, He is nothing like the broken or absent fathers many of us have known. His love is constant, protective, and never ending. As Prince of Peace, He does more than calm our circumstances. He gives us peace with God through His life, death, and resurrection. Pastor Benjer shows how the increase of Christ's government and peace will never end. Jesus keeps taking ground in human hearts, homes, churches, and communities. The more we hand over the hidden corners of our lives to His rule and reign, the more we experience true peace, even when circumstances are still hard. The most hopeful line in the passage is that the zeal of the Lord of Hosts will do this. It does not depend on our effort, our goodness, or our consistency. God is passionately committed to rescuing, restoring, and redeeming His people. He is zealous for His glory and for your good, and that is why the light of Christ is a gift, not a reward you earn. If you are watching this and feel stuck in darkness, shame, or quiet despair, this message is for you. Your darkness does not disqualify you from the light. It is exactly why the light came. To us a child is born. To us a son is given. Today can be the day you stop trying to be the hero and instead receive Jesus as your Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, and Prince of Peace.

In this week's message from Flourishing Grace Church, Pastor Benjer leads us into the first Sunday of Advent by opening Isaiah 11:1 to 10, a breathtaking promise spoken into a devastated world. As the gathering stands for the reading of Scripture, we hear Isaiah's vision of a shoot springing up from the stump of Jesse, a fragile sign of life rising where everything looked cut down and hopeless. That image becomes the heartbeat of the sermon as Pastor Benjer helps us name the places where we have felt the bottom fall out of our own lives. He shares stories of personal heartbreak, disappointment, and loss, reminding us that devastation is something every person encounters, whether in sudden tragedy, crumbling expectations, or the quiet ache of a season that was supposed to be different than it is. From there the message draws us into the world of Isaiah's prophecy. Israel has turned from God, injustice has taken root, and the nation that once flourished now resembles a forest leveled to stumps. Yet God speaks hope into this barren landscape. He promises that out of the very place that feels dead a new king will rise, a descendant of David who will rule with wisdom, understanding, counsel, might, and a perfect delight in the fear of the Lord. Pastor Benjer shows how this passage points to Jesus, the true and better King who judges with righteousness, defends the vulnerable, and brings peace strong enough to reconcile even the fiercest enemies. Isaiah's imagery of wolves lying with lambs and children playing where serpents once threatened becomes a picture of the world made right, restored by the One who conquers sin, death, and the powers of darkness. This message brings the hope of Advent into real life. Instead of ignoring pain or pretending everything is fine during the holiday season, we are invited to pause and honestly name the devastation we have experienced this year. Pastor Benjer encourages the church to consider where hope has collapsed and where lesser kings have promised life but only left disappointment behind. Into those places, Jesus offers himself as the true King, the root and shoot of Jesse, fully God and fully man, the One who does not only send a solution but becomes the solution. Through his life, death, and resurrection he calls us into rest, reconciliation, and a peace the world cannot offer. As we enter the Advent season together, this message invites us to slow down, breathe, pray, and prepare our hearts for the King who comes near. Whether you are walking through loss, confusion, exhaustion, or simply longing for renewal, Isaiah's promise offers steady hope. Jesus is the King who brings life out of devastation and light into every shadowed place. Stay until the end of the gathering, where Pastor Benjer invites anyone who needs prayer, hope, or a fresh start to come forward and receive prayer from the Flourishing Grace team. Today can be the day you return to Jesus or say yes to him for the first time. Wherever you are coming from and whatever you carry, you are welcome. May this message draw you into the hope, rest, and good news of the King who has come and will come again.

Join Us for Worship: Sundays at 9:00 AM & 11:00 AM https://www.flourishinggrace.org/plan... Luke 16:1–13 is one of the most unexpected and challenging parables Jesus ever taught, and this week at Flourishing Grace Church Pastor Benjer walked us through the Parable of the Dishonest Manager. At first glance, the story can feel confusing. A dishonest manager misuses his master's resources, rewrites debts he has no right to change, and then receives praise for what he has done. The key, however, is that Jesus is not affirming the manager's ethics. He is drawing attention to the technique, the shrewdness, and the intentional use of resources for a future purpose. From that surprising parable Jesus teaches something deeply practical and deeply convicting about our relationship with money and our calling as disciples. Throughout the sermon Pastor Benjer highlights how often money quietly becomes the controlling influence in our lives. Many of us live with the phrase “one day” attached to our purpose. One day when I finish college. One day when I finally earn enough. One day when I buy the house. One day when life settles down. Yet every time we reach one day another one appears on the horizon, usually tied to financial pressure, financial goals, or financial anxiety. Jesus exposes the truth that money is meant to be a tool used for kingdom purposes, but for many of us it has slowly become a god that shapes our priorities, our decisions, our fears, and our hopes. This message explores the idea that what we have is not truly ours in the first place. The manager in the parable used money that belonged to someone else in order to secure relationships and his future. In the same way Jesus calls his followers to use what belongs to God for the sake of people and for the sake of eternity. When Jesus says that no servant can serve two masters and that we cannot serve both God and money, he is naming the spiritual conflict that exists in every human heart. Money can be a useful and powerful tool, but it is a terrible master and an even worse god. Pastor Benjer challenges us to recognize that everything we possess is something God has entrusted to us. Our income, our resources, our opportunities, our time, and even the circumstances that opened doors for us are gifts of grace. When we view our possessions as things that belong to us, we cling tightly to them and they quickly gain control over our lives. When we view them as things entrusted to us by God, we are free to use them for generosity, for service, and for eternal impact. The sermon also discusses the practical reality that giving is one of the fastest ways to dethrone money in our hearts. Not because God needs our money, and not because giving earns us spiritual points, but because giving forces us to release our grip. Scripture teaches that generosity is meant to be joyful and sacrificial. The goal is not tipping or occasional acts of kindness. The goal is a life that recognizes the temporary nature of money and uses it for something far greater than personal comfort or personal security. For those who feel the weight of financial stress, debt, or discouragement, Pastor Benjer acknowledges that this message may feel heavy. If that is your situation, Flourishing Grace offers a simple next step. You can text FGC money to 97000 to connect with someone who will meet with you, listen to your story without judgment, pray with you, and help you take practical steps toward financial freedom. There are also resources available through Financial Peace University to help you learn how to handle money in a way that honors God and offers peace instead of fear.

In this week's message at Flourishing Grace Church, Pastor Benjer unpacks one of the most sobering and hope-filled teachings of Jesus found in Luke 13:22–30. As Jesus journeys toward Jerusalem—fully aware that the cross awaits—He encounters a question that echoes through time: “Lord, will those who are saved be few?” What follows is a deeply personal and challenging conversation about salvation, grace, and what it truly means to know Jesus. Pastor Benjer explores Jesus' response about striving to enter through the narrow door and helps us understand what that means for followers of Christ today. The sermon addresses a tension that exists both inside and outside the church: how can salvation be found in only one way without making God seem narrow-minded or unloving? Using historical and cultural background from first-century Judea and Rome, Pastor Benjer reveals that the narrow door is not about exclusion, but about clarity—Jesus Himself is the narrow door because He is the only one who can deal with our sin problem and offer eternal life. Throughout the message, listeners are invited to examine what they are trusting in. Many people, both in Jesus' day and our own, appeal to their spiritual “resume”—their family background, good works, or religious involvement—as evidence that they deserve God's favor. But Jesus' parable makes it clear that being in proximity to Him is not the same as having intimacy with Him. Pastor Benjer emphasizes that knowing about Jesus or being around His people is not the same as belonging to Him through faith. Just as those outside the door pleaded their case based on their lineage or their service, many today believe that moral behavior, volunteerism, or religious attendance will be enough. But as the sermon reminds us, salvation is not earned; it is received through surrender. We cannot present God our accomplishments or heritage and expect entry into His kingdom. Only through the person and work of Jesus—who lived the life we could not live and died the death we deserved—can anyone be saved. Using both Scripture and contemporary examples, Pastor Benjer dismantles the modern belief system often described as “moralistic therapeutic deism”—the idea that God simply wants us to be nice, happy, and well-adjusted, and that good people go to heaven. Instead, he points us back to the truth of the gospel: that all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, but through faith in Christ, we are justified by grace as a gift. Jesus' death was not symbolic—it was substitutionary. He absorbed the wrath of God against sin, satisfying justice and extending mercy. Quoting from Romans 3 and Isaiah 53, Pastor Benjer reminds us that the cross was God's plan to make a way for sinners to be reconciled to Him. The narrowness of this way is not cruelty; it is compassion. God has provided one clear way to life so that no one would have to wonder where salvation is found. The sermon moves from theological depth to heartfelt application, urging the congregation to drop their resumes before God and instead pursue intimacy with Jesus. The narrow door is not a one-time entry point but a lifelong pursuit of relationship. Followers of Jesus must daily rely on His grace—not just at the moment of salvation, but every day afterward. Pastor Benjer challenges the church not to be filled with people who attend services, know the songs, and volunteer out of duty, but with people who know and love Jesus deeply. Proximity does not equal transformation. Only intimacy with Christ brings life.

Join Us for Worship: Sundays at 9:00 AM & 11:00 AM https://www.flourishinggrace.org/plan-your-visit In this sermon from Luke 13:1–9, Pastor Benjer McVeigh of Flourishing Grace Church explores one of Jesus' most challenging and life-giving teachings—the call to repentance. Many of us hear the word “repent” and instinctively recoil, weighed down by years of misunderstanding and guilt. Yet as this passage reveals, repentance is not about condemnation but restoration. It is a divine invitation into grace. Jesus confronts the human assumption that tragedy and hardship are always signs of personal failure, reframing repentance not as punishment but as the merciful opportunity to turn from death toward life. Through the parable of the barren fig tree, Jesus paints a vivid picture of God's patience and kindness. The gardener's plea for one more year and his decision to nurture the fruitless tree reflect the heart of a Father who gives every chance for renewal. God does not fold His arms in disappointment and wait for us to get it right; He kneels beside us, digging around the hard soil of our hearts, giving us everything we need to flourish again. Repentance is not an act of despair—it is the evidence of God's compassion. As Romans 2:4 declares, it is His kindness that leads us to repentance. Pastor Benjer reminds us that repentance is not a one-time decision but a posture of daily humility. It is the ongoing recognition that God is God and we are not, that His ways are better than ours, and that our flourishing depends on continually turning our hearts back to Him. When we try to control our lives, to “grab the shovel” and fix ourselves, we miss the beauty of surrender. True repentance means handing over the keys, trusting that God can rebuild what we cannot. The sermon also addresses the fears and misconceptions surrounding repentance. Many believers equate it with shame or divine anger, but Scripture shows that confession leads not to rejection but to restoration. When we come before God with honesty about our failures, He meets us with mercy, not wrath. As 1 John 1:9 promises, “If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.” The act of turning back is never met with scorn—it is met with celebration, just as the father in the parable of the prodigal son ran to embrace his returning child. Repentance, then, is the shortest distance between where we are and where God longs for us to be. Whether we are seeking freedom from sin, reconciliation in our marriages, or restoration in our hearts, repentance is the starting point. It is the about-face that redirects us from rebellion toward redemption. Like C.S. Lewis wrote, true progress begins the moment we turn back to the right road. Throughout history, every genuine revival has begun with repentance—not in packed stadiums but in quiet hearts humbled before God. Renewal in our communities and churches starts when believers admit their need for grace and bow before the Lord in prayer. This is where the Spirit moves most powerfully, transforming individuals and igniting movements of faith. As Pastor Benjer concludes, repentance is not a story of human failure but of divine faithfulness. It is an open door to forgiveness, healing, and the abundant life found only in Jesus Christ. To repent is to stop running, to stop pretending, and to return home—to the God who digs around the roots of our lives and whispers, “Let's begin again.” If you've wondered what repentance really means or feared it as a word of judgment, this sermon will help you see it as the gift it truly is—a daily invitation into grace, freedom, and flourishing in Christ. Watch, reflect, and rediscover the beauty of turning back to the One who never stops pursuing you.

Hate American Made ////// The Soldier Part 5 of 6  www.TrueCrimeGarage.com Timothy James McVeigh was a decorated American Soldier who served during Operation Desert Storm. After the war McVeigh had difficulties finding a new path for himself. Ultimately, he became enraged against the government that his soldier duties once served. He believed and told others that the U.S. government was in the process of taking away the freedoms of its citizens. Then Ruby Ridge happened and when the Waco standoff was in its early stages he was present, even giving an interview to a local reporter. These events were “proof” to McVeigh that he was right. All of his fears were coming true. Timothy McVeigh became America's worst homegrown terrorist when he blew up the Alfred P. Murrah building in downtown Oklahoma City. What meaning did the Oklahoma City Bombing hold for Timothy McVeigh and beyond? Was it revenge? Was it the first act of a revolution? Was it a going away present for Richard Snell?  More True Crime Garage can be found on Patreon and Apple subscriptions with our show - Off The Record.  Catch dozens of episodes of Off The Record plus a couple of Bonus episodes and our first 50 when you sign up today.  True Crime Garage merchandise is available on our website's store page.  Plus get True Crime Garage Pod art that you can post on your socials on our Media page.  Follow the show on X and Insta @TrueCrimeGarage / Follow Nic on X @TCGNIC / Follow The Captain on X @TCGCaptain  Thanks for listening and thanks for telling a friend.  Be good, be kind, and don't litter!
