In this powerful message, “Accept the Call,” Pastor Ben continues the series “Called”, He challenges us to step into the “family business” the divine assignment of representing our Heavenly Father in every area of life. Whether at work, home, with friends, or in community, you are called to be His representative.Listen in, open your heart, and say “yes” to the call. Your purpose is greater than you think. It is time to walk in it.

God's plan of salvation begins with you believing in His name—believing that He is, in fact, your salvation and that He alone can make you whole. It starts with knowing His name, trusting in His name, and then calling on His name. Today, you have that opportunity—because maybe all you needed was a small reminder of the power and reverence that comes with the name that is already on your life. Maybe you just needed a spark of faith to call on Him again, in faith, and watch Him begin to move.

The Apostle Paul has given several practical steps for dealing with anxiety. He taught them to identify anxious thoughts, pray specifically and receive God's peace which has the power to guard from future inner turmoil. In our passage today, Paul furthers the conversation by giving some final pieces of advice for how to exchange our anxiety for His peace. We must take control of our thoughts and put into practice what we have learned from Scripture and godly people. These two principles of wisdom have the power to keep us in the peace of God as life continues to unfold.

“The Perfect Partner”Genesis 2:7, 18-24; Genesis 1:27, 31 2:7 Then the Lord God formed a man from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living being.18 The Lord God said, “It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper suitable for him.”19 Now the Lord God had formed out of the ground all the wild animals and all the birds in the sky. He brought them to the man to see what he would name them; and whatever the man called each living creature, that was its name. 20 So the man gave names to all the livestock, the birds in the sky and all the wild animals.But for Adam[g] no suitable helper was found. 21 So the Lord God caused the man to fall into a deep sleep; and while he was sleeping, he took one of the man's ribs and then closed up the place with flesh. 22 Then the Lord God made a woman from the rib he had taken out of the man, and he brought her to the man.23 The man said,“This is now bone of my bones    and flesh of my flesh;she shall be called ‘woman,'    for she was taken out of man.”24 That is why a man leaves his father and mother and is united to his wife, and they become one flesh.1:27 So God created mankind in his own image,    in the image of God he created them;    male and female he created them.31 God saw all that he had made, and it was very good.

King of Peace | Isaiah 11:1-9 | Pastor Ben Spalink by GraceChurchNJ

Fear is a powerful emotion. Though some are more prone to it than others, all struggle with it. Fear can paralyze your ability to take action, and fear can cause you to forfeit what is good. However, the most destructive and dangerous reaction to fear is that it can cause you to lose your confident hope in God's promises and surrender your expectant joy in the kingdom of God.The Thessalonians Christians were fearful that the persecutions they were enduring meant that they had missed the Second Coming of Christ and were thus experiencing the judgment of Christ on the wicked. Paul had written his first letter to the Thessalonians to assure them that Christ would rapture the church before the judgment of the wicked and to encourage them that they had not missed the rapture.Paul writes this second letter to address this issue again. The church was enduring severe persecution. Additionally, there were false teachers who claimed that Christ had already returned. The pressures of persecution and the confusion caused by false teaching had caused the church to fear again that they had missed the rapture.Paul writes this letter not to elaborate on all the details of the Second Coming and the particulars of the antichrist but as a pastor to his church, to encourage them to hold tightly to God's word with confident hope.The main idea of this passage is: Do not be alarmed by false teachings or fearful of powerless threats but trust in the sovereignty, authority, and power of God.Paul is not writing to rebuke the church or shame them for their fear but rather to warn them of the danger of being deceived and distracted by false teaching. From both false teaching and biblical ignorance, many today struggle with fear and anxiety that steal their confident hope and joy in the Lord. So, how can you keep from being deceived and distracted by false teachings?This passage provides three warnings to help you avoid being distracted by false teachings. Do not be alarmed by false teaching, fearful of the power of false prophets, or deceived by Satan.Find Out More:For more sermons and content from Pastor Ben Smith, visit BenSmithSr.org.

Someone recently visited Europe. When we heard his travel plans, we offered (unsolicited) advice on sites to see, including a few notable churches—or more specifically, church buildings. These were beautiful ones with architecture and history. Here's the thing. These buildings are largely relics, beautiful reminders of storied pasts. The churches we really admire look like the ones launched in Acts 2, in the After + Math, and this weekend we uncovered what made that church so remarkable. First time listening to our podcast?

In week 2 of our series, "Everyday Prophets", Pastor Ben teaches through the minor prophet Jonah. We are all very familiar with the beginning part of Jonah's narrative, but have you really taken a look at how the book of Jonah ends? Jonah becomes pretty upset by the fact that the Lord was slow to anger with the Ninevites and showed them mercy instead of wrath. It's a hard lesson for us all in revealing our own posture and attitude towards grace with one another. Who is your Ninevah? Who are your enemies that you should be praying over instead of having bitterness towards?

This weekend, Christians commemorate the historical event when God poured out His Holy Spirit upon the first 120 believers as referenced in Acts chapter 2. This was the catalyst that truly changed the world as men and women, filled with God's Spirit, were sent out as witnesses of Jesus Christ. Today, as we gather together, we are pausing to discuss and pray for the baptism with the Holy Spirit in our generation. We need the power of the Holy Spirit to lead and launch us into all that God has called us to do!

Pastor Ben preaches on Ecclesiastes 9:13-10:4

Salvation is not transactional but transformative. When God calls you to salvation, it is a calling to believe and be transformed by the power of God to accomplish His will and bring glory to His name.In the secular world, you become very accustomed to transactional relationships. Unfortunately, not only do many people approach their most intimate relationships with a transactional mindset, but many also attempt to relate to God in a similar manner. However, God does not negotiate or bargain, nor can God be manipulated or deceived. It is impossible to receive God's salvation through any form of human transaction.When you believe in faith and are saved by God, you are transformed by the power of God for the glory of God. In 2 Thessalonians 1:11-12, Paul prays with confidence in God's will for the Thessalonian church to continue being transformed for His glory.How does salvation transform your life? These verses illustrate two fundamental ways in which salvation transforms a Christian's life. That is, salvation transforms what you are and what you do.Find Out More:For more sermons and content from Pastor Ben Smith, visit BenSmithSr.org.

Confronted by a Holy God | Isaiah 6 | Pastor Ben Spalink by GraceChurchNJ

Let Him search your soul for everything that is fake—anything in you that claims to be from Him but isn't. So that the real Jesus can transform you, metamorphose you, and transfigure you into someone who truly makes a difference—someone who reflects His glory in the world. Because it's not about you. It's about Him.

We love history; we didn't always, but we do now. Mostly, we strive to make connections between the old and the new—how a thing started and how we can still see pieces of it today. Acts is the story of the "After + Math," the beginning of the Jesus movement we are now a part of. The core pieces of what we do now—the gathering, the worship, the teaching—all have their history in the "After + Math" of Jesus's life on Earth. This weekend, we looked at the first sermon preached in the "After + Math," and we found a familiar outline and a timeless hope. First time listening to our podcast?

God doesn't change. His words are true. He is completely and totally reliable in every way. While everything else around us changes, there is Someone who does not change. He does not lie, and we can build our lives on His Word, His plan, and His promises. It's a sure deal! The writer of Hebrews said it this way, “Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever,” (Heb 13:8). This means that GOD is faithful! We can trust Him. What He says is true. What He said He will do, we know He will do. Moses spoke of how God was faithful to bring Israel through to the Promised Land (Dt 7). David said that the faithfulness of God “reaches to the skies,” (Ps 36:5). The prophets Isaiah and Jeremiah both spoke of how faithful God was to them and the nation of Israel. And in our text today, we'll read several times where the Apostle Paul spoke of how faithful God was in it all and through it all.   Speaker: Pastor Ben Dixon Scripture: 2 Timothy 2:8-13 Series: Stand Alone For more information visit www.BenDixon.org

Pastor Ben preaches on Ecclesiastes 9:2-12

Pastor Ben, Matt, Pastor Caleb, and Pastor Steve work through the final lesson in the Hosea series as they explore Hosea 14 and see what this rich book has to say about the theme of our repentance before God.

Christians endure the present with confident faith in the coming of Jesus, who will rightly judge the world, rescue the saints, and reveal His full glory. Paul wrote to the Thessalonians to encourage the saints who were enduring persecution. The encouragement is that Jesus is coming again to rescue the saints and judge the wicked.Thinking of the vengeance and judgment of God is uncomfortable for many Christians. So, how should you respond to the coming judgment of Christ?This passage is both an encouragement to Christians and a warning to unbelievers. To believers, it encourages you to have confident faith, and to unbelievers, it serves as a warning of God's coming judgment.This passage encourages the saints to endure the present with confident faith in who Jesus is and what he will do. To unbelievers, it is an urgent plea to repent.Find Out More:For more sermons and content from Pastor Ben Smith, visit BenSmithSr.org.

Pastor Ben ends our "Sent" series with a call to action. As followers of Christ, we are all called to evangelize and make disciples. That doesn't mean that everyone is supposed to drop everything and travel over seas to do missions; but rather, seek and ask God to open doors right in your own back yard - in your work place, even in your own families. God is calling us to take "Christ in us" to every person we encounter. Your mission field is closer than you think.

In this sermon on Ephesians 5:15–21, Pastor Ben Nistor explores what it means to “be filled by the Spirit”—not just indwelt at salvation, but continually influenced and controlled by the Holy Spirit in daily life. Paul contrasts this Spirit-filling with drunkenness, urging believers to surrender their will, emotions, and desires to God so the Spirit can lead them in wisdom, worship, and obedience. Unlike the indwelling of the Spirit (which happens once at salvation), being filled is a repeated, ongoing action. The results of a Spirit-filled life include wise and careful living, redeeming the time, understanding God's will, worshipful speech, gratitude in all circumstances, and humble submission to others. We're challenged to reflect on what areas of our lives still need to come under God's control, to let Scripture dwell in us richly, to guard our speech, and to seek God's filling through prayer and obedience. Will you invite the Holy Spirit to influence your life this week? ________________________________________ Links to Sermon Notes & Answers: ➤Sermon Notes (Blank): https://www.sheridanhills.org/_files/ugd/30fec2_24427f8a0fe0457dbe9bbe96d678069d.pdf ➤Sermon Notes (Answers): https://www.sheridanhills.org/_files/ugd/30fec2_bf5d0acfc5774de095d4ef3d3243d292.pdf ________________________________________ In this video: Review of previous sermons in series Main Points Application ________________________________________ Subscribe to this channel to catch weekly expositional sermons from the Bible. ________________________________________ Explore more sermons and information: https://www.sheridanhills.org/watch-new ________________________________________ Follow us: ➤Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/sheridanhills/ ➤Twitter: https://twitter.com/sheridanhills01 ➤Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sheridanhills/

You want to know the future of God, the hope of God, and the plans of God. You want Him to hear you when you call upon Him. To experience that, you must seek Him with all your heart and be intentionally close to Him. It's not complicated—God is not calling you to be perfect; He's calling you to be faithful in staying close. And that's a beautiful truth. God is not asking you to be the perfect Christian. He is asking you to be consistent in drawing near to Him in every season and in every moment. So our response should be simple: make the daily choice to get close to God for the rest of your life. And here's the good news—you can start getting close right now.

In the After + Math of the Resurrection, there is a strange, wonderful, often misunderstood power at work in us—the Holy Spirit. Undeniably real, unexplainably powerful, and intensely personal, the Spirit's work in our world, our church, and our lives defines our age. And it's the key to the lives and faith we long for. But where is it, what or who is it, and what does the Spirit want to do? That's this Sunday's After + Math story. First time listening to our podcast?

Several modern statistics reveal that this could be the most anxious generation to ever exist. There are many reasons for why this may be the case, but we need to know that worry and anxiety are not just a modern struggle. In fact, Jesus speaks about worry, anxiety and peace many times and so do the other writers of the New Testament. All of this points to a very important truth: our mental health matters. Worry and anxiety have lots of contributing factors which we need to understand, but more than that, we need to understand the promise of Scripture that God will give us His peace in exchange for our anxiety. How do we make that exchange? Well, that is what the Apostle Paul talks about in our passage today!
