This week we tackle a tough topic, though essential to Spiritual growth, accepting discipline. Please note a correction to the message, the poison found in raw lima beans is not arsenic, it is cyanide.

Prayer might seem to be a topic that is old hat to us, however, as Ben mentions in this teaching, the deeper we dive into this Spiritual practice, the deeper we find it to be. What is prayer? What is the greatest barrier to prayer? What is the greatest benefit to prayer? How do we pray?

This week we kick off a new teaching series on directives from God's Word to live by. In this time where many of us focus on financial and physical goals we want to be first and foremost about Spiritual growth. In this message we are encouraged to "fix our eyes on Jesus."

This week one of our own, Stefan, shares a deeply personal story of how the Word of God has affected him. His perspective sheds a new light on how we all look at our the priority we give Jesus in comparison to our family and friends.

This week we conclude our teaching on the life of Samuel with a look at his adult life. We learn from Samuel what it means to fear, love and obey God. What happens in your life when systems collide? What is the order of priority in regards to your personal reverence and sacrifice?

This week Ben teaches on Samuel's early years. He remained an example of Godly character even when his supposed mentors did not. What does it look like us to be filled because of the work of the Holy Spirit?

Is it well with your soul, regardless of ongoing circumstances? This week Ben teaches on Hannah's tender prayer and how God answered. How do you pray?

Ben unpacks a core theme in the book of Ruth with direct application to our world today. HESED: Loyal love, kindness, faithfulness. This is how the world changes!

This week Ben teaches on the life of Samson. Samson is known for his great physical strength but most of his life is marked by significant weakness. Ben encourages us to be honest about the real nature of sin (breaking through willful blindness) in our lives and then shows us what Samson's real strength was.

This week Ben teaches on the life of Gideon. There are many rich lessons to learn from the testimony of Gideon's life. God displays his strength. The question to Gideon and us is will we trust Him in times of adversity AND prosperity!
