June 21, 2026 | Pastor Ben Mandrell finishes our series in Esther by talking about the great reversal of outcomes in Esther 9. The Jews were supposed to be destroyed, but through the intervention of Esther and Mordecai, their salvation was at hand. Even when times are difficult, never forget that God is at work and He can perform miracles you cannot fathom.For more sermons each week, be sure to subscribe so you can stay in the know.

In What Good Is It, Pastor Ben challenges us to fix our eyes on Jesus rather than our insecurities. This message reminds us that insecurity always shifts our focus from God to ourselves. True faith isn't passive, because God calls us to an active, everyday faith where belief and action are inseparable. Step out on faith and tune into this message in our I Need Proof Series.

In this episode, Pastor Daniel and Pastor Ben discuss the recent sermon on Jude 1-4, "The Danger of False Teachers, Part 2".

Hebrews opens with the declaration that God has spoken. Throughout the Old Testament, He revealed Himself through prophets, visions, dreams, signs, and many other means. Yet all of those revelations pointed forward to something greater. In these last days, God has spoken finally and fully through His Son, Jesus Christ. The message of Hebrews is clear: when believers face suffering, pressure, discouragement, or temptation to drift away, they must remember that Jesus is better than every person, system, promise, and shadow that came before Him. Hebrews 1 focuses on the supremacy of Christ. Jesus is the heir of all things, the Creator of the world, the radiance of God's glory, the exact representation of His nature, the sustainer of the universe, the purifier of sins, the risen King seated at God's right hand, and superior even to the angels. Because Jesus is better, believers are called to persevere in faith, hold fast to the gospel, pursue holiness, worship God with reverence, and endure faithfully no matter the cost. ________________________________________ Links to Sermon Notes & Answers: ➤Sermon Notes (Blank): https://www.sheridanhills.org/_files/ugd/30fec2_458e6e50a70e4c8abbeee4d75b8c3e5e.pdf ➤Sermon Notes (Answers): https://www.sheridanhills.org/_files/ugd/30fec2_c1090c859dc34490b1e7f574aaae7926.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/

God is always at work—even when we can't see it. Through the story of Esther, we were reminded that God doesn't need us to accomplish His plans, but He lovingly invites us to be part of what He is doing. Like Esther, we all face moments when we must choose between comfort and courage, silence and obedience. The question is not whether God will move, but whether we will step forward and say, “It's going to be me.” May we be people who trust His promises, embrace His calling, and boldly participate in His purpose for such a time as this.

It's hard to imagine… Heaven can feel unknowable, and the unknowable isn't very attractive. But the life of Jesus and the teachings of Scripture have a surprising amount to say about life after this life: About our surroundings About activity and work About relationships Sharpen your view of Heaven, and you may discover strength and joy that were missing. That's the story of Revelation, Heaven, and Hope.   First time listening to our podcast? We'd like to get to know you! Do you have any prayer request? Send us a message.  Connect with Us:

Fatherhood is one of the greatest callings and responsibilities God has entrusted to men. In a culture that often minimizes the importance of fathers, Scripture reminds us that fathers have a unique influence on the spiritual, emotional, and relational health of their families. Whether you are a father, grandfather, future father, or someone impacted by a father's influence, this message will challenge us to consider God's design for fatherhood and the kind of men our families, churches, and communities desperately need. The stakes are high, the calling is significant, and God has not left us guessing about what faithful fatherhood looks like.

In a world that constantly pressures us to blend in, God calls us to stand firm. Just like Daniel and the Hebrew boys in Babylon, we are called to live faithfully in our culture without bowing to its idols. Standing for Christ may lead us into the fire, but it also leads us into the presence of the One who walks through the fire with us. When we refuse to compromise and choose obedience over approval, we discover a freedom that the world can never offer. What area of your life is God calling you to stand up in today?

Heaven… you've got questions! What starts out as a cloudy mystery quickly becomes a compelling curiosity. What does the Bible tell us about Heaven? A lot, it turns out—and it matters. You see, what we believe about life after death affects how we live before death. This weekend, we're answering some of the big questions about what comes next and how it gives us hope.   First time listening to our podcast? We'd like to get to know you!

Pastor Ben preaches on Luke 6:36-42

We live in an age of soft nihilism — not a philosophy consciously embraced, but a drift into passivity, presuming on tomorrow, waiting for the perfect moment that never arrives. Drawing from Ecclesiastes 11, Pastor Ben shows that Solomon's repeated refrain of vanity is not a counsel of despair but a clarion call to action: because life is uncertain, tomorrow is not guaranteed, and outcomes rest with a sovereign God, the right response is not paralysis but bold, faith-filled engagement today. Like William Borden, who sowed broadly and died at 25 never knowing the harvest his obedience would yield, we are called to give, serve, invest, and risk — leaving the outcome entirely to God.Eastland is a Place to BelongEastland Baptist Church is located in Tulsa, Oklahoma.

In this episode Pastor Daniel and Pastor Ben discuss the recent sermon on Jude 1-4, 'The Dangers of False Teachers, Part 1".

Everyone wants to go to heaven, but not yet. Hidden behind this common reality is a fear: Death. Death may not consume your mind, but if suddenly faced with our own mortality, it can be gripping. The truth about heaven is meant to transform how we think about death, and then how we feel, and finally what we fear. This is the story of the day death died and how that helps us live confidently.   First time listening to our podcast? We'd like to get to know you! Do you have any prayer request?

June 7, 2026 | Beginning a new series in Esther, Pastor Ben Mandrell looks to the example of King Ahasuerus (Xerxes) as a warning about foolish behavior. The king was full of pride, influenced by substances, and surrounded by people who only wanted to agree with him. In our lives, we need to seek out the wisdom of others, pursue humility, and be only consumed by the Holy Spirit.For more sermons each week, be sure to subscribe so you can stay in the know.

Suffering is never something we ask for, but it is often where God does some of His deepest work in us. Every trial, every setback, every difficult season becomes an opportunity for His grace to prove itself faithful once again. When we endure through Christ, suffering produces hope, and hope becomes the evidence that God is still working, still present, and still good. Don't give up in the middle of the struggle. Keep your eyes on Jesus, keep trusting, and keep moving forward. Your story may become the proof someone else needs to see that God's love never fails.

You've been saved. You've destroyed some idols. You've done everything right — and yet something keeps pulling you back.In Saved but Still Stuck, Pastor Ben Norvig digs into one of the most overlooked passages in the Old Testament: King Asa did what was right in the eyes of the Lord, tore down idols, and stirred revival. But there's a line in 1 Kings 15 that keeps showing up across generations of kings: “The high places were not removed.” That single detail — left unaddressed — cost Israel everything.Pastor Ben unpacks the difference between an idol and a high place, why high places always require a sacrifice, and how the patterns we leave standing get handed to our kids. He also shares a personal reckoning with his own high place — the high place of approval — and why destroying it this week was the hardest thing he's done.Whether you've been following Jesus for thirty years or you're just curious about what any of this means, this message is for you.

Jesus never intended His followers to simply receive His grace—He intended for them to carry it to others. In Matthew chapter 10, Jesus sent His disciples out to reach people with the good news of the Kingdom and to minister in His name. While the original disciples were sent in that moment, every follower of Jesus has been given the same mission today. We have been entrusted with the Gospel and called to participate in God's work of reaching people. This message will challenge us to embrace that calling and faithfully live as those who have been sent by Christ.

“Wash And Be Clean”2 Kings 5:1-19a1 Now Naaman was commander of the army of the king of Aram. He was a great man in the sight of his master and highly regarded, because through him the Lord had given victory to Aram. He was a valiant soldier, but he had leprosy.[a]2 Now bands of raiders from Aram had gone out and had taken captive a young girl from Israel, and she served Naaman's wife. 3 She said to her mistress, “If only my master would see the prophet who is in Samaria! He would cure him of his leprosy.”4 Naaman went to his master and told him what the girl from Israel had said. 5 “By all means, go,” the king of Aram replied. “I will send a letter to the king of Israel.” So Naaman left, taking with him ten talents[b] of silver, six thousand shekels[c] of gold and ten sets of clothing. 6 The letter that he took to the king of Israel read: “With this letter I am sending my servant Naaman to you so that you may cure him of his leprosy.”7 As soon as the king of Israel read the letter, he tore his robes and said, “Am I God? Can I kill and bring back to life? Why does this fellow send someone to me to be cured of his leprosy? See how he is trying to pick a quarrel with me!”8 When Elisha the man of God heard that the king of Israel had torn his robes, he sent him this message: “Why have you torn your robes? Have the man come to me and he will know that there is a prophet in Israel.” 9 So Naaman went with his horses and chariots and stopped at the door of Elisha's house. 10 Elisha sent a messenger to say to him, “Go, wash yourself seven times in the Jordan, and your flesh will be restored and you will be cleansed.”11 But Naaman went away angry and said, “I thought that he would surely come out to me and stand and call on the name of the Lord his God, wave his hand over the spot and cure me of my leprosy. 12 Are not Abana and Pharpar, the rivers of Damascus, better than all the waters of Israel? Couldn't I wash in them and be cleansed?” So he turned and went off in a rage.13 Naaman's servants went to him and said, “My father, if the prophet had told you to do some great thing, would you not have done it? How much more, then, when he tells you, ‘Wash and be cleansed'!” 14 So he went down and dipped himself in the Jordan seven times, as the man of God had told him, and his flesh was restored and became clean like that of a young boy.15 Then Naaman and all his attendants went back to the man of God. He stood before him and said, “Now I know that there is no God in all the world except in Israel. So please accept a gift from your servant.”16 The prophet answered, “As surely as the Lord lives, whom I serve, I will not accept a thing.” And even though Naaman urged him, he refused.17 “If you will not,” said Naaman, “please let me, your servant, be given as much earth as a pair of mules can carry, for your servant will never again make burnt offerings and sacrifices to any other god but the Lord. 18 But may the Lord forgive your servant for this one thing: When my master enters the temple of Rimmon to bow down and he is leaning on my arm and I have to bow there also—when I bow down in the temple of Rimmon, may the Lord forgive your servant for this.”19 “Go in peace,” Elisha said.CONNECT WITH USIf you have any questions or would like to get to know us further, head over to https://www.triumphlbc.org/connect and fill out our online connection card.ABOUT TRIUMPHTriumph wants to see the life and message of Jesus transform your heart, home, and city.

Are you feeling a deep, unexplainable longing for something more? In this message, Pastor Ben Hays kicks off our summer sermon series, "Can You Even Imagine?", by exploring the universal human ache for eternity. Drawing from Hebrews 11:13–16, Pastor Ben looks at the lives of the patriarchs—like Abraham and Sarah—who lived as strangers and exiles on this earth, looking forward to a heavenly homeland. Discover why our days are numbered, why our best life is actually yet to come, and how a "holy homesickness" is ultimately God's way of pointing us toward our true citizenship in heaven. Find peace in the promise that while life brings hardship now, an imperishable inheritance awaits us through Jesus Christ.

Clouds. Harps. Endless church. If that's your picture of heaven, I've got good news: it's even better than that.  Heaven isn't just a plan for someday—it's the answer to what we're longing for today.

Throughout the New Testament, we see a church that is empowered by the Holy Spirit and strengthened through the ministry of spiritual gifts. These gifts were never intended to be confusing, divisive, or pushed to the margins of church life. They were given by God to build up His people, reveal Jesus, and help the church fulfill its mission in the world. This weekend, we'll explore what it means to be a spiritually-gifted church, the vision God has for His people, and why this matters for Northwest Church.

The enduring hopefulness of Christianity is grace. And by Christianity, I don't mean systems, theories, books, and buildings—no, I mean Christ… Jesus the Christ. If we're not careful, we will reduce grace to a cliché that fits on a bumper, a verse posted on social media, or a happy (but fleeting) feeling. Do that, and you will miss out on the enduring hopefulness you were meant to have. And who doesn't want enduring hopefulness? That's what a poolside encounter with Jesus teaches us.   First time listening to our podcast? We'd like to get to know you! Do you have any prayer request? Send us a message.  Connect with Us:
