When grounded in faith and obedience, worship brings profound spiritual health—satisfaction, peace, and divine restoration—manifesting in a life that honours God above all else. Ultimately, corporate worship is commanded and flows from our private life. As a result of our consecrated heart, we should want to be in church, tithe, serve, sing, and reject false worship.
True worship, as revealed throughout Scripture, is a holistic act of surrender rooted in holiness, humility, and spiritual health, beginning with a transformed heart before God. It is not defined by ritual, music, or tradition, but by a genuine, selfless submission of the whole person—mind, will, and life—to the sovereign God, exemplified in Abraham's willingness to sacrifice Isaac and Joshua's reverence before the pre-incarnate Christ. This worship demands humility, a contrite heart, and recognition of God's supreme worth, rejecting pride and self-centeredness, and requires repentance and moral integrity, as seen in Jeremiah's call for genuine righteousness over empty religious observance. When grounded in faith and obedience, worship brings profound spiritual health—satisfaction, peace, and divine restoration—manifesting in a life that honours God above all else. Ultimately, worship is not an emotional experience but a daily, active commitment to God's supremacy, where true adoration flows from a relationship with Christ and results in transformed living, eternal significance, and the promise of future glory.

Title: What is my Part? Pt. 1 Speaker: Ben Baker Date: April 12, 2026 Guest Preacher Ben Baker talks about finding your place in your local church, serving the Lord as best you can, and growing together as a community.
This sermon presents a prophetic overview of world history through the lens of Nebuchadnezzar's vision of a great statue composed of gold, silver, bronze, iron, and clay, symbolizing successive world empires from Babylon to a future revived Roman Empire, culminating in the eternal kingdom of Christ. It emphasizes that Israel's rejection of God's covenant, particularly through persistent idolatry and the ultimate rejection of Jesus as Messiah, led to the 'times of the Gentiles'—a period of divine judgment during which Gentile nations hold dominion. Yet, the prophecy also reveals God's enduring faithfulness: despite Israel's unfaithfulness, God remains committed to their restoration, as seen in the promise of a new covenant and the eventual return of Christ to establish a millennial reign. The sermon calls both believers and unbelievers to repentance, warning that God's judgment is real and inevitable for those who reject Him, while offering hope and restoration to all who turn to Christ in faith. It underscores that God's ultimate purpose is the salvation of all nations through His redemptive plan.

Revelation 4:1 introduces a visionary glimpse into heaven, setting the stage for the book's unfolding eschatological narrative, which centers on Christ's imminent return and the transformative impact of end-times truth on the believer's present life. The sermon emphasizes that biblical prophecy—particularly concerning the rapture, tribulation, and Christ's millennial reign—is not a source of fear but a divine call to holiness, vigilance, and faithful stewardship, grounded in the certainty of God's promises. Drawing from key passages like 1 Thessalonians 4, 1 Corinthians 15, and Revelation 3, it underscores that the imminency of Christ's return should motivate believers to persevere in faith, purify their lives, and remain steadfast in obedience, knowing they will one day stand before His judgment seat to receive rewards based on their earthly faithfulness. The message is both urgent and hopeful: for the unsaved, it is a call to repentance and faith; for believers, it is a charge to live with eternal perspective, not for personal gain, but to honour Christ and be found ready when He comes. Ultimately, the study of end times is not about speculation, but about transformation—shaping a life of purity, readiness, and devotion to God in anticipation of the ultimate reunion with the Bridegroom.
If a church has critical, judgmental people, then it will be a diseased church. This sermon speaks against those who speak evil of others and exhorts the need for encouragement. God's
The sermon centers on the transformative power of faithful obedience, using Ruth's life as a paradigm of steadfast trust in God amid hardship, loss, and cultural alienation. It emphasizes that faithfulness—marked by humility, submission to divine and human authority, and perseverance through trials—yields spiritual rest, divine provision, and unexpected blessings, as seen in Ruth's journey from despair to becoming an ancestor of Christ. The preacher underscores key theological themes: God's covenantal faithfulness to those who commit to Him (2 Corinthians 6:16–18), the necessity of obedience as the pathway to fruitfulness (Galatians 6:9), and the reality that true success is not measured by worldly gain but by alignment with God's will. Through Ruth's example, the message calls believers to reject discouragement and surrender to God's timing, assuring that faithful service, even in obscurity, will be rewarded in due season, and that God's provision is sufficient, reliable, and far exceeding human expectation.
If you are willing to humble yourself and flee from Satan's temptations, then you will find God's protection and God's presence.
The sermon centers on Ruth's life as a paradigm of godly influence, demonstrating how a humble, faithful, and obedient spirit—marked by diligence, submission, and trust in God—can transform lives and bring glory to God. Through her actions in the fields of Boaz, Ruth exemplifies an 'excellent spirit' characterized by integrity, service, and reverence, which not only provided for her and Naomi but also drew divine favor, protection, and promotion. Her quiet faithfulness, rooted in loyalty to God and respect for authority, led to a profound spiritual awakening in Naomi, shifting her from bitterness to gratitude, and ultimately positioned Ruth as a key figure in God's redemptive history, becoming the great-grandmother of King David and an ancestor of Christ. The sermon emphasizes that true influence is not derived from status, wealth, or charisma, but from a life surrendered to God, where humility, stewardship, and obedience produce lasting spiritual fruit. It concludes with a call to examine one's own life for the presence of such a spirit, urging believers to seek God's wisdom and surrender to His purposes so that their lives may reflect Christ and impact others for eternity.
God hates pride. Humble yourself before the Lord to receive His attention and His promises.
The sermon centers on the transformative blessings that come to those who, like Ruth, embody faith, humility, and meekness while remaining faithfully in God's will. Through the story of Ruth in Boaz's field, it illustrates how divine providence rewards godly character with protection, provision, and profound satisfaction, as God Himself is portrayed as the ultimate provider and protector. Boaz, as a type of Christ, exemplifies Christ-like care and generosity, offering not only physical sustenance but also spiritual belonging and communal fellowship within the church. The passage emphasizes that true fulfillment comes not from self-effort or worldly approval, but from submitting to God's authority, trusting in His promises, and finding joy in His presence, even amid hardship. Ultimately, the sermon calls believers to embrace the character of Ruth, to remain in God's field through faith and obedience, and to experience the abundant life and eternal rewards promised to those who walk in His ways.
Understand that baptism is the identification with Christ's death, burial and resurrection, and it does not save, but it does identify a believer being surrendered to Christ.
This sermon centers on the transformative power of character, exemplified in Ruth's life as she navigates profound loss and foreignness with unwavering faith, meekness, and humility. Drawing from Ruth 2:8–16, it emphasizes that her reputation—marked by integrity and godly conduct—preceded her and was rooted in consistent, small acts of obedience rather than dramatic gestures. The preacher underscores that true character is cultivated through faith in God's provision, submission to authority, and a mindset shaped by Scripture, as seen in Ruth's decision to follow Naomi despite hardship and her humble response to Boaz's kindness. By reflecting on biblical principles from Proverbs, Philippians, 1 Peter, and Hebrews, the message calls believers to prioritize inner virtue over external validation, recognizing that a life of faithful, humble service leads to divine blessing and influence. Ultimately, Ruth's story illustrates that character, not circumstance, determines destiny, and that those who live by faith, meekness, and humility become lights in a crooked world, honoured by God and remembered by history.
You must understand your faith in Christ, and what God expects to truly find His hope and promises.
The only means of truly finding Christ's rest is to come, take, and learn of Him. So, will you do this?
The sermon centers on the vital importance of knowing and living out one's divine purpose, illustrated through the story of Ruth in Boaz's field and the life of missionary C.T. Studd. Drawing from Ruth 2:4–8, it portrays Boaz as a type of Christ, emphasizing Christ's sovereign oversight, personal care, and expectation of faithful labor in the spiritual harvest. The message underscores that true purpose arises from a personal relationship with Christ, fuels a passionate commitment to evangelism, and demands disciplined, sacrificial service in the Great Commission. It warns against spiritual complacency—labeled as 'chocolate Christianity'—where heartfelt intentions replace obedient action, and contrasts the diligent, unified reapers with the divisive, purposeless, and self-centered, as seen in the Corinthians and Israel's wilderness murmuring. Ultimately, the sermon calls believers to recommit to Christ as their person, to embrace the mission of soul-winning as their purpose, and to actively participate in God's harvest with unwavering faith and perseverance.
The sermon, titled 'The Brutal Bite of Bitterness, part 2,' centers on Naomi's spiritual and emotional descent following personal tragedy, illustrating how bitterness—rooted in disobedience, unprocessed grief, and misplaced blame—leads to isolation, spiritual apathy, and a distorted view of God. Drawing from Ruth 1:6–22, it contrasts Naomi's hardened heart, marked by self-pity, criticism, and rejection of love, with Ruth's faithful, sacrificial commitment, highlighting the transformative power of grace and repentance. The message warns against the destructive consequences of bitterness, including emotional instability, victimhood, and spiritual blindness, while urging listeners to confront hidden resentment, confess sin, and embrace God's redemptive purpose. Anchored in Scripture—from Romans 8's groaning creation to Psalm 51's plea for renewal—it calls believers to choose faith over despair, forgiveness over bitterness, and to find true joy not in circumstances but in Christ, who bore our pain and offers restoration.

The sermon, drawn from Ruth 1:1–5, confronts the spiritual peril of choosing one's own way over God's will, illustrating how personal autonomy, rooted in materialism and self-reliance, leads to spiritual decline, broken relationships, and profound despair. Centered on Elimelech's decision to flee a famine in Bethlehem—symbolizing God's provision—into Moab, a land of idolatry and moral decay, the message underscores the consequences of abandoning divine direction: spiritual complacency, compromised faith, and tragic loss. The preacher highlights six crises—cultural apostasy, famine, lack of faith, death, compromise through ungodly alliances, and ultimate hopelessness—each reflecting the inevitable outcome of living by sight rather than faith. Drawing from Deuteronomy, Romans, and Isaiah, the sermon calls believers to reject the 'gospel of modernism' that promotes self-determination and instead embrace God's way, which, though marked by trials, brings true provision, purpose, and peace. The exhortation is clear: surrender the illusion of control, submit to God's will, and find life not in comfort, but in faithful obedience.

The sermon centers on the transformative power of divine presence, emphasizing how God's nearness reorients the believer's identity and purpose. Drawing from key passages in Scripture, it unfolds the theme of abiding in Christ as the foundation for spiritual fruitfulness and enduring joy. The tone is both pastoral and convicting, inviting listeners to surrender control and trust in God's faithful provision. Through vivid imagery and heartfelt application, the message calls the audience to live with expectancy, rooted in the unshakable promise of God's presence. Ultimately, the sermon affirms that true peace and purpose are found not in circumstances, but in communion with the living God.

The sermon explores the nature of temptation, emphasizing that it is an unavoidable aspect of the Christian life, but not a cause for despair. Drawing from James 1, it highlights the importance of viewing trials as opportunities for developing patience and enduring faith, ultimately leading to a crown of life. It clarifies that God does not tempt, but allows trials to test and strengthen believers, urging them to resist the allure of sin by submitting to God, filtering thoughts, and actively choosing obedience, while affirming that God's grace is available to those who humbly seek it.
Jonah tells the men that he is a prophet and running from the Lord. The heathen sailors realize that Jonah is a runaway from the Lord's calling, and he must be cast overboard.
The sermon emphasizes that trials and tribulations are inevitable aspects of life, not as punishments, but as opportunities for spiritual growth and maturation. Drawing from Scripture, particularly James 1 and 2 Timothy, it asserts that enduring these hardships with patience and faith, rather than cursing or resisting, leads to a deeper relationship with God and the development of a resilient character. The message encourages believers to embrace trials as a refining process, akin to testing silver or forging steel, ultimately leading to a state of perfected faith and a greater capacity to radiate God's glory, mirroring the example of Job and the promise of eternal reward.
Our prominence in the eyes of the Lord begins with our submission to the authority and leading of God.
We must courageously accept what God says about us, trusting in Him alone, and then boldly tell others of His grace.
May we truly have a heart that seeks the betterment and spiritual progress of those in the faith.
It is never wise to run from the Lord's calling on one's life. Be the witness God has called us to be.

The sermon emphasizes the necessity of actively controlling one's thoughts, aligning them with biblical principles to cultivate a peace-filled mind. Drawing from Philippians 4 and passages like 2 Corinthians 10, it highlights the importance of casting down ungodly thoughts and bringing every thought captive to Christ, encouraging a shift from reacting to thoughts to behaving according to biblical precedents. The message underscores the value of virtue and praise as filters for thought, advocating for a mindful consideration of truth, honesty, justice, purity, loveliness, and good report, ultimately leading to a reliance on God's peace and a life reflecting His character.
