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.
Join Us for Worship: Sundays at 9:00 AM & 11:00 AM https://www.flourishinggrace.org/plan-your-visit The Good News Is Beautiful | Advent Sermon from Isaiah 52:7–10 Three days before Christmas Eve, this message reminds us that this is not a throwaway Sunday. 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.

Join Us for Worship: Sundays at 9:00 AM & 11:00 AM https://www.flourishinggrace.org/plan... 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.

Committed | Benjer McVeigh | September 28, 2025 by Flourishing Grace Church
This week's guest on The Publisher Podcast is Mel McVeigh, Head of Digital at the Professional Publisher's Association (PPA). Mel has been at the PPA for the last 18 months, and her role is to support digital thinking within the organisation and its members. Mel recently worked with Enders Analysis on a report - Consumers, creators, and brands: Rewriting the media playbook. The report aims to help publishers with their plans around technology investments, as well as provoke and challenge them to think about how they're going to innovate in the long-term. Peter and Mel talk about the challenges technology brings and whether the website is really dying, but also the reasons to be cheerful, like the sustained trust enjoyed by magazine brands. She talks about platforms, processes, and product thinking, as well as the importance of editorial intuition. Read the write-up of this interview over on voices.media or by signing up to our weekly newsletter.
What does it really mean to flourish, and how do curious skeptics become devoted followers of Jesus? In this message from Acts 17:16–34, Pastor Benjer explores Paul's famous address in Athens at the Areopagus and shows how God awakens spiritual curiosity, why some mock before they believe, and how everyday Christians can step into gospel conversations with confidence and love. If you've ever wondered how to talk about Jesus in a culture crowded with competing definitions of “the good life,” this teaching is for you. Paul arrives in Athens “provoked” by a city full of idols, yet he responds not with outrage but with compassion and reason. He finds common ground, exposes the emptiness of man-made gods, and proclaims the Creator who “gives to all mankind life and breath and everything.” He names the altar “To the Unknown God,” declares the risen Christ as Lord and Judge, and invites repentance. The result is mixed, just like today: some mock, some want to hear more, and some believe. Acts 17:16–34 becomes a masterclass in evangelism, apologetics, and pastoral heart, all centered on the resurrection of Jesus. This message also frames a bigger journey many of us are on. We borrow our vision of flourishing from social media, success metrics, and other people's expectations, then wonder why we are anxious, exhausted, and empty. Scripture paints a different picture. Jeremiah 17 describes the flourishing person as a tree planted by streams of water, unafraid of heat and drought, still bearing fruit. Jesus clarifies the source in John 15: abide in Him, the true vine, and you will bear much fruit; apart from Him you can do nothing. Real flourishing is not self-optimization. It is a Spirit-powered, Jesus-rooted life that blesses others. You will hear a practical pathway for growth that moves from curious to connected to committed to compelled to consecrated. Curiosity is often awakened by God long before a person ever sits in a church. That is why ordinary believers matter so much. You are already placed in neighborhoods, classrooms, teams, and workplaces where spiritual conversations can naturally begin. You won't know who is curious about Jesus until you talk about Jesus. Our lives should commend the gospel, but the gospel itself must be spoken. Faith comes by hearing the word of Christ. If you are exploring Christianity, this message invites you to ask honest questions and follow the evidence. The God who made you is “not far from each one of us.” If you are a follower of Jesus, you will be challenged to pray by name for one person in your everyday life and to look for the openings God provides. Evangelism is not a performance; it is participation with a God who is already pursuing people in love. Key themes include Acts 17:16–34, Paul in Athens, the Areopagus, the “unknown god,” idols and worldview, resurrection apologetics, repentance and faith, discipleship, abiding in Christ, Jeremiah 17, John 15, spiritual curiosity, gospel conversations, and a biblical vision of flourishing. Whether you are new to church or a long-time Christian, this sermon will help you discern the voices shaping your life, root your joy and purpose in Jesus, and step into your calling as an everyday ambassador of Christ. If this message helps you, consider sharing it with a friend who is curious about Jesus.

Join Us for Worship: Sundays at 9:00 AM & 11:00 AM https://www.flourishinggrace.org/plan-your-visit In this message, Pastor Benjer McVeigh draws an unforgettable connection between the 19th century physician Ignaz Semmelweis and the life-giving simplicity of the gospel. Semmelweis discovered that something as simple as washing hands drastically reduced mortality rates among mothers giving birth. Yet his peers rejected him, unwilling to admit the problem lay with their own practices. The truth was simple and effective, but it required humility to accept. In the same way, the good news of Jesus Christ is not complicated. Paul writes in 2 Corinthians 5 that in Christ we are made new creations. Jesus took upon Himself our sin so that we might become the righteousness of God. This is not something we achieve through our own effort, wisdom, or strategies. It is not about our credentials, rituals, or personal performance. Just as the doctors of Semmelweis's day could not save their patients by their own flawed methods, we cannot save ourselves through our own strength. The problem is within us, and the solution is found outside of us—through Jesus. Benjer reminds us that while our culture often insists that life can be fixed through self-help, techniques, or relentless striving, the gospel declares something radically different. All this is from God. It is His initiative, His grace, His gift. Jesus died so that you might live, not because of anything you have done, but because of what He has already accomplished. Paul himself knew this truth deeply. Once a fierce persecutor of Christians, Paul encountered the risen Christ and was transformed from an enemy of the gospel to its greatest messenger. His story reminds us that no one is beyond the reach of God's grace. “If anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has passed away, the new has come.” That promise is for all, no matter your past, no matter your brokenness. This sermon challenges us not only to recognize our need but also to embrace our new identity in Christ. Through Him, you are reconciled to God, restored to relationship with your Creator, and given a purpose as His ambassador. The moment you receive Jesus, you are not only forgiven but also entrusted with sharing the message of reconciliation with others. The invitation is simple: do not receive the grace of God in vain. To hear the truth and reject it is to miss the gift that brings true life. To accept it is to step into forgiveness, freedom, and purpose. Today can be the day when you cross from death to life, not because of your own worthiness but because of the righteousness of Jesus given to you. God's grace is not flashy, nor is it complicated. It is a gift freely offered, but it requires humility to admit that the problem is in us and the solution is only in Christ. Just as Semmelweis's discovery saved lives when doctors finally accepted it, the gospel saves when we receive Jesus by faith. Will you admit your need, lay down your efforts, and receive the life Jesus freely gives?

Join Us for Worship: Sundays at 9:00 AM & 11:00 AM https://www.flourishinggrace.org/plan-your-visit In this message from Luke 12:1–12, Pastor Benjer leads us through one of Jesus' most sobering teachings about what it means to follow Him in a world that does not want us to. Drawing from the lives of Dietrich Bonhoeffer, Betty Stam, and Richard Wurmbrand—men and women who paid a great cost for their allegiance to Christ—this sermon reminds us that discipleship is neither neutral nor comfortable. Jesus warns His disciples to beware of the hypocrisy of the Pharisees, a caution against living for the approval of others while neglecting the heart. He then gives a clear warning: do not fear those who can harm the body, but fear the One who holds our eternal destiny. Yet even in this, there is comfort—God knows us intimately, values us deeply, and never forgets us. Our worth is not determined by human opinion but by the price God paid for us in Christ. Finally, Jesus issues a call: to publicly acknowledge Him in both word and deed, to live with integrity before a watching world, and to trust the Holy Spirit to give us the words when our faith is challenged. Pastor Benjer emphasizes that following Jesus will inevitably cause friction with the values of the world, but Christians are not called to seek out conflict for its own sake. Instead, we are to live faithfully, sacrificially, and graciously, showing Christ's love in tangible ways. He challenges us to examine whether we have been living to please others rather than God, to reject the temptation to remain neutral, and to resist making enemies of those who simply need to hear the good news. The message closes with a vision for the church: that if our building and programs disappeared, the community would notice because of the way we have loved, served, and represented Jesus. This is a call to live as people whose only hope in life and death is Christ, steadfast in faith whether the world applauds or opposes. It is a reminder that discipleship will cost us something, but that it is worth everything because of who Jesus is and what He has done. Whether you are a longtime believer, a new Christian, or still exploring the faith, this sermon invites you to wrestle honestly with what it means to follow Jesus faithfully today, trusting that His Spirit will equip and sustain you in every circumstance. Will you follow Him with boldness and faithfulness, even when the world pushes back?

Join Us for Worship: Sundays at 9:00 AM & 11:00 AM https://www.flourishinggrace.org/plan-your-visit In this powerful message from Luke 11:1-13, Pastor Benjamin explores the revolutionary truth that God actually loves to be bothered by His children. When Jesus' disciples asked Him to teach them how to pray, His response reveals three foundational truths about our relationship with the Father that will transform how we approach prayer forever. Many believers struggle with prayer because they fundamentally misunderstand God's heart toward them. We often view Him as distant, annoyed by our constant needs, or too busy with global crises to care about our personal struggles. This sermon dismantles those misconceptions by examining Jesus' parable of the persistent friend and His teaching on the Lord's Prayer. Through relatable illustrations about parenting and childhood boldness, Pastor Benjamin demonstrates that God desires us to approach Him with the same audacious confidence that children show toward loving parents. The message unpacks three life-changing truths about God's character. First, God genuinely loves to be bothered by our prayers and requests. Unlike earthly relationships where we must earn access or worry about overstepping boundaries, our heavenly Father has purchased our access through Christ and invites bold, persistent prayer. Second, God wants to give us Himself through the Holy Spirit, not just fix our circumstances. While we often focus on getting God to solve our problems, He offers something far greater in His very presence and companionship through difficulty. Third, through Christ we are adopted sons and daughters, not slaves or employees trying to earn God's favor. Using the acronym PAUSE, this practical teaching walks through Jesus' model prayer in Luke 11, showing how to Praise His name, Acknowledge His reign, Understand your need and ask, Seek forgiveness and extend it, and Embrace your dependence on God. This isn't about formula prayers but about understanding our relationship as beloved children who can confidently approach their Father's throne of grace. Whether you're new to prayer or have struggled with feeling distant from God, this message will encourage you to approach Him with childlike boldness, knowing He delights in your requests and longs to give you the greatest gift of all - Himself. The sermon includes practical application and concludes with a powerful time of corporate prayer, demonstrating that prayer is both personal and communal in the life of believers.
Join Us for Worship: Sundays at 9:00 AM & 11:00 AM https://www.flourishinggrace.org/plan-your-visit In this powerful message from our ongoing series in the Gospel of Luke, Pastor Benjer McVeigh leads us through one of the most familiar — and dangerously misunderstood — teachings of Jesus: the parable of the Good Samaritan (Luke 10:25–37). But before we tune out with a “been there, heard that” mindset, Benjer challenges us to slow down, lean in, and let the Word do surgery on our souls. What if we've misunderstood this parable all along? What if the point isn't about identifying who our neighbor is — but realizing we are the neighbor God has sent? This message begins by confronting the deceptively small definition of “neighbor” held by the expert in the law, a man who — like many of us — sought to justify himself by asking Jesus, “And who is my neighbor?” But Jesus doesn't answer with a list of who qualifies. Instead, He flips the lawyer's question on its head and tells a story where the most unlikely character — a Samaritan, despised by Jews in that time — becomes the model of true neighborly love. As Benjer unpacks the cultural and religious background of the text, he reveals that the priest and Levite in the story weren't merely callous — they were likely busy with temple duties, constrained by religious expectations. Yet their roles, deeply tied to the law, couldn't produce the compassion needed in the moment. It is the Samaritan — the outsider, the one least expected — who sees, stops, and sacrifices. He is moved by compassion, not convenience. He loves with open hands, at great risk and great cost to himself. And this, Jesus says, is what it means to be a neighbor. The message digs deeper, applying this radical vision of love to our daily lives. Who have we disqualified from being our neighbor? Who have we labeled in such a way that excuses us from loving them? Whether it's someone we disagree with politically, someone whose lifestyle we don't understand, or someone we believe “deserves” the consequences they're facing — we are reminded that the teaching of Jesus leaves no room for exclusion. We don't get to decide who deserves love. We simply get to extend it, because Jesus first loved us. And the message gets personal. Benjer shares how a group of teenagers at church camp, willing to sit under the Word of God with seriousness and humility, stirred his own heart. Their willingness to listen, respond, and be transformed by Scripture became the catalyst for this week's call: to slow down, stop crossing to the other side of the road, and live as the kind of neighbor Jesus modeled. By the end, the parable turns into a mirror. It's not just a story about someone else. It's a story about us. And if we take it seriously — if we dare to pray the dangerous prayer, “God, who are you calling me to be a neighbor to today?” — we might discover that Jesus has already answered. He calls us not to love from a distance or with conditions, but to love incarnationally. To see, to stop, to bind up wounds, to take risks, to pay costs, to walk with the hurting until they heal. This is the call to become a people — and a church — marked by the extravagant compassion of Jesus. A church where no label can override the title “neighbor.” A church that reflects the Good Samaritan who saw us lying in the road, broken and far from hope — and didn't pass by. Instead, He stopped. He loved. And He gave everything.

In this explosive episode of Beyond the Paradigm, we sit down with filmmaker Mike OTT, director of McVeigh, to dig deep into the 1995 Oklahoma City Bombing — a pivotal moment in American history. Was Timothy McVeigh truly a lone wolf, or does the official story leave too many questions unanswered?We explore the film's bold take on McVeigh's motives, the shadowy figure known as “John Doe #2,” and the controversial theory that federal agencies may have had prior knowledge of the attack. We also touch on alleged links to the Clinton administration, the murky world of informants and provocateurs, and how crisis actor theories continue to shape public distrust in the media.Zooming out, we question how culture itself shapes our worldview — and how government narratives, media portrayals, and national trauma rewire our collective sense of reality. This episode challenges listeners to ask: What do we believe, and who taught us to believe it?Linksemail:beyondtheparadigm@yahoo.comBeyond the Paradigm - YouTubeinstagram.com/paradigm1979twitter.com/paradigm_79(1) FacebookSupport The Showpatreon.com/BeyondTheParadigmbuymeacoffee.com/beyondthep5Guest LinksWatch McVeigh | Prime Video
In the fifth chapter of "No Way, Jose!", host Jose Galison dives into Part Five: No Snappy Title, a pivotal episode unpacking Dr. Wendy Painting's meticulous research into the Oklahoma City Bombing. This installment begins by analyzing key calls made by Timothy McVeigh using the Daryl Bridges calling card in the weeks leading up to the OKC bombing, alongside a mysterious April 8, 1995, meeting in Idaho organized by Aryan Nations affiliates. Intriguingly, a car resembling McVeigh's yet-to-be-purchased 1977 Mercury getaway vehicle was spotted at this meeting, with authorities noting possible ties to the Arizona Patriots—a recurring thread in Dr. Painting's investigation. The episode also highlights two documented conversations between Louis Beam and Cheri Seymour the week before the bombing, one explicitly referencing Richard Snell's impending execution and Beam's later claims of foreknowledge of the OKC plot, revealed in a previously undisclosed recorded interview. These discussions, tied to the same network behind the Idaho meeting, hint at deeper connections that will unfold in the series' conclusion.Part Five backtracks to late summer and fall of 1994, tracing McVeigh and Terry Nichols' movements and their ongoing interactions with Roger Moore, who allegedly supplied bomb-making components at critical junctures. Jose explores McVeigh's travels across under-examined regions like Florida, Montana, and New Mexico, suggesting network-building within extremist circles, with Dr. Painting's research uncovering links between key individuals and groups in these locations. The episode also introduces McVeigh's emerging ‘cover story' about attending ‘survivalist training' in Utah, adding another layer of intrigue to his activities. With its focus on cryptic meetings, phone records, and shadowy connections, "NWJ 566" delivers a riveting continuation of the OKC bombing saga, inviting listeners to question the broader web of relationships and foreknowledge surrounding one of America's most devastating attacks.

Join Us for Worship: Sundays at 9:00 AM & 11:00 AM https://www.flourishinggrace.org/plan... In this message titled Right Side Up, Pastor Benjer McVeigh walks through Luke 9:43–62 to confront the ways we often follow Jesus with an upside-down understanding of what He has truly called us to. Set in the final stretch before Jesus heads to Jerusalem and the cross, this passage reveals a series of misunderstandings among Jesus' disciples—misunderstandings that reflect the same tendencies many of us struggle with today. Despite witnessing miracles, the disciples were confused when Jesus spoke clearly about His suffering and death. They debated who among them was the greatest, attempted to exclude others doing ministry in Jesus' name, called down judgment on outsiders, and offered conditional discipleship: “I will follow you, but first…” Through these interactions, Jesus gently but firmly corrects each distorted perspective, inviting His followers to see the way of the cross not just as a theological event, but as a pattern for their lives. Pastor Benjer illustrates this point with a humorous yet sobering story about misreading a MapQuest printout in college. The story becomes a metaphor for our spiritual lives: no matter how diligently we try to “follow the directions,” if we begin with the wrong understanding of Jesus' path—if our spiritual map is upside down—we will miss what He's truly calling us to. Jesus is not looking for admirers who fit Him into their existing lives; He is calling disciples who will lay their lives down daily, just as He did. Throughout the message, Pastor Benjer identifies four common lies that keep believers from living the way of the cross: “I am the greatest,” “We are the rightest,” “It's us versus them,” and “Sure, Jesus—but first.” Each of these reflects a heart that, like the disciples in Luke 9, is still struggling to understand the radical call of the kingdom. Rather than pursuing power, tribal superiority, division, or delayed obedience, Jesus calls us to humility, unity, compassion, and full surrender. This sermon is not about trying harder or being better. It's a call to reorient ourselves to the true map of discipleship—one where Jesus leads the way in suffering, sacrifice, and resurrection life. The invitation is not simply to believe in the cross as doctrine but to embody it in daily life. Pastor Benjer urges listeners to examine whether they have truly said “yes” to Jesus without conditions, or if there are lingering “but first”s that are keeping them from full obedience. For those who are exploring faith or are not yet followers of Jesus, this message offers a clear presentation of who Jesus is: not merely a teacher or moral example, but the suffering Savior who gave His life on the cross to bring us forgiveness, purpose, and eternal life. Today is an invitation to say “yes” to Jesus—not to religion or performance, but to a relationship with the one who laid everything down for us. Recorded live at Flourishing Grace Church in Bountiful, Utah, this sermon is part of our ongoing series through the Gospel of Luke. Whether you're a long-time believer or just beginning your spiritual journey, we invite you to reflect on the direction your life is heading and whether your map is right side up.

In the fourth installment of "No Way, Jose!", host Jose Galison continues his exploration of Dr. Wendy Painting's groundbreaking research into the Oklahoma City Bombing with Part 4, titled “The Male Room.” This episode focuses primarily on Timothy McVeigh's activities in Kingman, Arizona, from early 1994 until his departure in August of that year, spotlighting peculiar ‘coincidences' surrounding the opening and closing of mailboxes by persons of interest during critical periods. Dr. Painting's research delves into McVeigh's persistent efforts to forge connections with radical groups and individuals, often with the assistance of Michael Fortier, while also examining the role of PATCON handler Don Jarrett in post-OKC bombing investigations of figures like Jack Oliphant and others tied to the Arizona Patriots. These investigations reveal a complex web of extremist networks and raise questions about the extent of FBI oversight before and after the Murrah Building attack.Part 4 also touches on lesser-known associates of McVeigh and Fortier in Arizona, alongside intriguing accounts of pre-OKC surveillance targeting these individuals and others in their circle. A key focus is the analysis of phone records beyond the well-documented Daryl Bridges calling card, including those linked to Roger Moore and Elohim City. When cross-referenced with McVeigh's known movements, these records uncover striking patterns and further ‘coincidences' that challenge conventional narratives of the bombing. With Jose Galison guiding listeners through Dr. Painting's meticulous findings, "NWJ 561" delivers a captivating and thought-provoking dive into the hidden layers of the OKC bombing saga, inviting audiences to reconsider the connections and oversights that shaped one of America's most tragic events.Please consider supporting my work-Patreon- https://www.patreon.com/nowayjose2020Only costs $2/month and will get you access to episodes earlier than the publicNo Way, Jose!

In the gripping continuation of "No Way, Jose!", host Jose Galison delves into Part 3B, titled “Looking For An Army,” exploring Dr. Wendy Painting's revelatory research on Timothy McVeigh's activities in Kingman, Arizona, during 1993. This episode uncovers McVeigh's efforts to connect with both prominent and obscure figures within the white power movement (WPM), spotlighting his initial interactions and proximity to individuals tied to the National Alliance. Dr. Painting's research reveals the intricate relationships between these figures, Reverend Jack Oliphant, and the Aryan Nations, painting a vivid picture of the extremist networks McVeigh sought to infiltrate or align with. Jose meticulously unpacks these connections, highlighting how McVeigh's movements in Kingman positioned him at the heart of a broader, shadowy web of far-right actors.Part 3B also revisits the role of PATCON and its handler, Don Jarrett, whose involvement in the FBI's subsequent investigation of specific individuals in this network adds a layer of intrigue to the Oklahoma City Bombing probe. The episode further explores McVeigh's use of alternative communication methods beyond the well-known ‘Daryl Bridges Calling Card,' shedding light on his covert efforts to build alliances. With Dr. Painting's research as the foundation, "NWJ 557" offers a compelling deep dive into McVeigh's strategic maneuvers and the FBI's monitoring of these extremist circles. Tune in to "No Way, Jose!" for a thought-provoking examination of these critical yet often overlooked facets of the OKC bombing saga, as Jose Galison continues to unravel the hidden truths behind one of America's darkest chapters.Please consider supporting my work-Patreon- https://www.patreon.com/nowayjose2020Only costs $2/month and will get you access to episodes earlier than the publicNo Way, Jose!

Happy Tuesday, everyone! I love when I get the opportunity to sit down with someone who I really respect as an actor and Brett Gelman is definitely one of those people. You know Brett from playing Murray on Stranger Things and Martin on Fleabag, plus roles in The Other Guys, Strays and McVeigh. The roles that Brett plays are hilarious and there's always a darkness to them— I found it so interesting to learn more about his approach to building a character. We talk about our acting idols and having the humility to continue studying even after you find success. In fact, this conversation convinced me to start working with an acting coach again! Plus, we discuss how Star Wars inspired both of us to become actors and which Star Wars character informed his role as Murray in Stranger Things. Be sure to stick around for the Hindsight, where my producer Jeph and I talk about the interview and answer fan questions from the Mail Sack!

Join Us for Worship: Sundays at 9:00 AM & 11:00 AM https://www.flourishinggrace.org/plan-your-visit Sermon Title: Die to Self, Live for Christ: Following Jesus in Luke 9 YouTube & SoundCloud Search Description (4,500 characters): In this powerful and deeply challenging sermon, Pastor Benjer leads us through Luke 9:1–27—a rich and intense section of Scripture that confronts every follower of Jesus with a fundamental question: What kind of life am I living—and what kind of death am I choosing? At the heart of this message is the call to discipleship—not just belief, not just admiration, but wholehearted following of Jesus. Through the example of the twelve disciples, the miraculous feeding of the 5,000, and Jesus' own foreshadowing of the cross, we're shown what it truly means to be a disciple: to learn from Jesus, walk in His footsteps, and embrace a life that is often uncomfortable, messy, and costly—but ultimately full of abundance and eternal purpose. Jesus begins by sending His disciples out with power and authority to proclaim the Kingdom, heal the sick, and cast out demons. And they do it. Ordinary men, empowered by Christ, stepping into extraordinary mission. But when they return and face the challenge of feeding the multitudes, they falter. They forget what they've just seen and done. They forget that Jesus is enough. And so do we. Discipleship, Pastor Benjer reminds us, is not a perfect upward trajectory. It's not about spiritual heroism or flawless devotion. It's a bumpy journey. It's full of grace and learning. And above all, it's a daily dying—dying to comfort, dying to small dreams, dying to our preferences and our endless yeses to self. Jesus makes it plain in Luke 9:23: “If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me.” That's the call. That's the cost. And that's the invitation into the abundant life Jesus promises—not abundant in stuff, ease, or worldly success, but rich in meaning, rooted in purpose, and shaped by selfless love. Benjer doesn't hold back from applying this to everyday life: our marriages, our parenting, our ambitions, our finances, even our weekend plans. He shares honestly from his own experience as a father of children with disabilities, reflecting on what it means to dream big in God's kingdom—not in worldly achievement, but in faithfully following Christ and helping others do the same. This sermon is a wake-up call. In a world that tells us to chase comfort and say yes to every craving, Jesus speaks a better word: Say yes to me. Pastor Benjer challenges the cultural lie that Christianity is just about self-improvement or believing the right things. Jesus doesn't call us to be better versions of ourselves—He calls us to be new. And that newness comes through surrender. If you're someone who has followed Jesus but finds yourself weary, discouraged, or feeling like you've failed too many times, this sermon is for you. If you're exploring faith and wondering what Jesus really expects, this sermon is for you. And if you're a committed disciple who needs a fresh reminder that the way of Christ is both cross and resurrection, this message will stir your heart. At Flourishing Grace Church, we're not trying to create a culture of superficial faith. We're learning to die well—to die to our own way so that we might live in the fullness of Jesus' way. This message will help you take your next step, whatever that may be. Stick around until the end as Pastor Benjer invites us into prayer and response. Maybe you've held back a part of your heart, your time, your dreams. Maybe God is gently poking at something you know you need to surrender. Don't ignore it. Lean in. Say yes. And remember: when you say no to yourself, you're not saying no to joy—you're saying yes to Jesus, the only source of true life. Listen, reflect, and let this teaching sink deep into your soul.
Note from Film makers : Also, just wanted to mention some of the conspiracy stuff hidden in the film.… since you didn't notice any of it… lol. It was on our mind. Film starts with Tim getting a speeding ticket, when asked where he's coming from he says - Muldrow. In real life Tim got a speeding ticket outside Muldrow which is right by Elohim City. The only reason for him to be in that area is Elohim… and Tim said he had never been there before. Richard Snell's influence and friendship. In real life Richard said his death would be avenged and asked to have the TV turned on the morning of his execution, April 19th. The officer said Snelll was grinning while watching the news of the bombing. How well or even if he knew Tim is conspiracy lore. Snell is buried at Elohim City. Strassmaier telling Tim about Snell's bomb plot in 83'. In real life it goes that Snell and others from the CSA were going to blow up the Federal Building in OKC, but the bomb blew up in their hands. They took it as a sign from God not to do it. Tim and Terry selling guns, Tim says you don't know where we got these from. In real life the story goes that Tim had Terry steal Roger Moore's (who was tied to the CIA) gun collection to sell and make money for the bombing. The story is very fishy, especially Moore's version. Terry asks Tim where he's gonna get that much money from to buy components for the bomb, but Tim never answers. Tim has a lighter with a Freemason logo on it. All the phone calls when Tim is at the phone booth, it is never revealed who he's talking to or what he is saying. When Tim is renting the storage room he gives her the wrong ID with one of his aliases. On other oaccasions he signs papers with different names. Tim and Strassmeir at the strip club. In real life a stripper at Lady Godiva's says she saw Tim, Strassmeir and Michael Brescia at the strip club all together shortly before the bombing. They all said it didn't happen. Strassmeir claims he only met Tim once at a gun show. Brescia says he didn't know Tim at all. Terry flying to the Philippines. In real life Terry went many times, Tim's lawyer suspected him to meet with terrorists to learn bomb building. John Doe 2 is in the background when he rents the truck. The passenger door is heard opening and someone gets in… who is never revealed, John Doe 2.Towards the end, the gameshow he's watching in the motel room while eating Chinese food, has secret messages on the game board: STRASSMEIR, HYPNOSIS, MKULTRA, CIA, FBI, etc.The montage at the end has images of: teeth X-rays (Wendy Painting's theory he was micro chipped in his teeth), MK-Ultra, Aryan Republican Army, Carol Howe, Terrance Yeakey, Kenneth Trentadue, and Jolly West. Also, on a side note you might enjoy… the announcer of the gameshow introduces the current winner as, “Dave McGowan.” Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-opperman-report--1198501/support.

This week, we're examining the disturbing parallels between past and present as we approach the 30th anniversary of the Oklahoma City bombing. We'll explore how the extremist rhetoric that drove Timothy McVeigh has found new life in today's political landscape.We dive into the Republican propaganda machine's decades-long strategy of relentlessly blaming liberals for everything—from Newt Gingrich's exploitation of tragedies to the current rewriting of January 6th as patriotic heroism. We'll show how the right's villainization of Democrats created the conditions for both McVeigh's terrorism and today's embrace of similar extremism.Plus, we'll cover the troubling developments of Trump's second term: government agencies dismantled, whistleblowers threatened, court orders ignored, and economic policies that threaten ordinary Americans. Join us as we connect the dots between the monsters of our past and the reflections we're seeing today.Stay in Touch!

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?
