FBC Benbrook Sermons

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)

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)

Elijah was a human being, just like the rest of us, and sometimes fear jumped all over him like it sometime jumps over us. His story of restoration and deliverance is helpful to us for it shows us the way out of our own valleys of discouragement. (1 Kings 19.1-18, January 5, 2014)

Why is there a wedding love song in Scripture? Because it celebrates the King's love for the church. (Psalm 45, December 29, 2013)

The Old Testament passage that the New Testament quotes the most is Psalm 110, and it is from this psalm that we understand who Christ was, is, and is to come. And from this psalm, we are equipped to worship the Christ who became flesh to save us from our sins before He came as King to conquer His enemies. (Psalm 110, December 22, 2013)

The people who walked in darkness have seen a great light. That's the story of the Magi, and that's our story. Consider the testimony of the "magos." (Matthew 2.1-12, December 15, 2013)

In a culture of ingratitude and complaining, God commands us to give thanks and to do all things without grumbling. Why would He want us to do that? (1 Thessalonians 5.18, Philippians 2.14, November 24, 2013)

Jesus was fully human and fully divine when God became flesh and dwelt among us. Since Jesus was a man of prayer, what do we learn about prayer from His prayer life? What action step can we take this week to prayer more like Jesus? (Mark 1.35-39, November 17, 2013)

The life and ministry of Jesus demonstrates that the spiritual forces of darkness are very real, very defeated, and yet still a very real struggle for believers today. (Mark 1.19-34, November 10, 2013)

What does Jesus want from us? His call has two parts, but we often forget the second. What is the full call of a disciple of Christ? (Mark 1.16-20, November 3, 2013)
