FBC Benbrook Sermons

Gifts That Make God Smile

God's people have always been compelled to give gifts to God, but not all gifts make God smile. What does it mean to give a gift to God that makes Him smile? (Genesis 4.1-7, March 16, 2014)

Encouragement for Sowers

We often read the Parable of the Sower and hear it as a challenge to examine ourselves as to what type of soil we might be. But the Parable is also an encouraging word to those who are working alongside the Master Sower to sow the word. (Mark 4.1-34, March 9, 2014)

How Can I Discover God’s Will For My Life?

to be part of God's family means to "do the will of God." But what exactly does that mean? How can I discover God's will for my life? (Mark 3.31-35, March 2, 1014)

Is There Any Sin So Bad That God Won’t Forgive It?

What is the "unforgivable sin"? What does it mean to "blaspheme the Holy Spirit"? (Mark 3.22-30, February 23, 2014)

Does God Have Something Special For Me To Do?

Jesus chose the apostles for a special task: to be with Him, to send them to preach, and to give them authority over the demons. But what about us? Does God have anything special for us to do? (Mark 3.13-21, February 16, 2014)

Wilderness Worship

When we celebrate the Lord's Supper, we worship Christ for saving us from our sins. But Psalm 3 helps us to continue to worship God as our Savior. (Psalm 3, February 9, 2014)

What’s the Difference Between Works and Grace?

How is God happy with me? Is it because of the good that I do and the bad that I don't do? Or is it because of His grace? And what does it mean to have faith in His grace? And why should I even care about asking this question? (Mark 2.18-22, February 2, 2014)

How Should Believers Relate to Unbelievers?

The question seems self-evident, but the religious leaders of Jesus' time had a very different point of view. How should followers of Jesus relate to those who are not followers of Jesus? Are they criminals to be avoided or sick persons in need of the Great Physician? And what difference does that make? (Mark 2.13-17, January 26, 2014)

Why Do I Need Forgiveness From God?

The gospel, in a nutshell, is "Christ died for our sins." But perhaps we should ask the very simple question, "Why do I need forgiveness from God?" (Mark 2.1-12, January 19, 2014)

When I Am Sick and Want God To Heal Me...

The leper who met Jesus said, "If you are willing, you can make me clean." Of course, Jesus was willing and made him clean. But what about us? When we are sick, and ask God to heal us, what should we expect? (Mark 1.40-46, January 12, 2014)
