FBC Benbrook Sermons

From This Time Forth

Psalm 113 teaches the people of God to praise the name of the Lord. But it comes to life when we realize it has a prequel, a sequel, a finale, and a "this time forth." (Psalm 113, September 21, 2014)

Becoming Children of God

What's this "Jesus thing" all about? John summarizes it for us in one sentence: we can become children of God. (John 1.12, September 7, 2014)

i5 (Invite): The Power of a Personal Invitation

One effective tool in the ministry of reconciliation is to invite our friends to "come and see" Jesus by coming to church with us. (John 1.35-51, August 31, 2014)

i5 (Impart): Sharing the Word of Reconciliation

2 Corinthians 5.17-21 (August 24, 2014)

i5 (invest): Embracing the Mercy of the Great Physician

For some people , religious people seem to be more comfortable with condemning sinners rather than hanging out with them. But our Savior was known for being a friend of sinners. And when the religious people questioned why, He shared three insights that will help us become more like Christ (Matthew 9.9-13, August 17, 2014)

i5 (intercession): Why We Must Pray for Unbelievers

This sermon is the second sermon in the "i5: Evangelism for the Rest of Us." In this sermon, we explore why we must pray for unbelievers.

i5: Identify

Through the month of August, we explore a strategy of evangelism for the "rest of us," those who are not bold extroverts but who want to be ambassadors for Christ. Today's sermon is the first part of a five part series, "i5: Evangelism for the Rest of Us." (2 Corinthians 5.17-6.10, August 3, 2014)

Getting Grace = Giving Grace

Ryan Henson, Student Minister at FBC Benbrook, explores the reason why God lavished His great grace upon us. (Ephesians 2.1-10/July 29, 2014).

What Does It Mean to Call Jesus Our Good Shepherd?

When Mark told the famous story of Jesus feeding 5000 people with just five loaves and two fish, he cast the story in such a way so that we would see the beauty and greatness of the Savior anew. Listen to the story, and consider what it means to call Jesus your "Good Shepherd." (Mark 6.30-52, July 20, 2014)

The Encouraging Story of John the Baptist’s Death

Why did the gospel writer Mark think it was important to tell us of John's death? Why did he frame the story within the story of the sending of the 12?
