Rest in God
Joshua did not give the people of God rest. Nor David. But Christ, the son of David, the son of God, having completed his work of redemption, has entered his rest, initiating the eternal Sabbath rest for the people of God. Listen as Pastor Paul van Engelenhoven preaches from Hebrews 3:12–4:11 on the failure of Moses and of Joshua to give rest, the victory of Christ on the…
The Great Departure

Listen as Pastor Paul van Engelenhoven preaches from Romans 1:22-23 on the principle of worship, the worship of fools, and the worship of the wise.
“Claiming to be wise, they became fools, and…
The Religion of Self
The religion of “self” cares for no one or anything else but “self,” and will even sin in order to get what “self” wants. But what does the Bible have to say about this false religion and those who practice it? Listen as Mr. Ben Bessett preaches on Proverbs 23:1–5 on the religion of self.
“You shall not covet your neighbor’s house; you shall not covet your neighbor’s…
Why Am I So Ungrateful?
In Luke 7:36–50, an ungrateful, legalistic Pharisee despises the love and gratitude a sinful woman shows to her Savior, Jesus Christ. How would you respond to this sinful woman’s gratitude to Christ if you were there? Why? Listen as Mr. Ben Bessett preaches on Luke 7:36–50 on why someone can be so ungrateful.
“Therefore I tell you, her sins, which are many, are…
The Way to God
Thomas asks an important question to Jesus, he asks: “how can we know the way?” He is speaking about the way to heaven, the way to God. There are many people who ask this question today, how can we go to heaven, what is the way to God? This Sunday evening we will answer this question through the words of Jesus in John 14:6.
Without Light There Is Only Darkness
Sinful man is like a beast before God. When man sinned, he lost his true purpose, his true knowledge of God, and his true love for God. But how may fallen man be restored to serving God with true knowledge, true purpose, and true love? Listen as Pastor Paul van Engelenhoven preaches on Romans 1:21 on man’s loss of honor, common sense, true love, and the only way…
Blessed Peacemakers
The world seeks for peace in all the wrong places. True peace comes only from God alone through faith in the gospel. And peacemaking, reconciling sinners to God and sinners to sinners through the gospel, is a bloody task—it may even cost your life, as it cost the Son of God, Jesus Christ, his life to reconcile sinners to God. Listen as Mr. Brandt Barnard preaches from…
The Knowledge of God in Creation
God’s wrath is revealed against mankind because they suppress the truth about God in unrighteousness. But are they without excuse because God is invisible? Listen as Pastor Paul van Engelenhoven preaches from Romans 1:19—20 on how mankind can see the one true and living invisible God, how mankind can know about this one true God, and mankind’s responsibility for not…
The Need to Be Anointed
In 1 John 2:18–20, the apostle John describes a key difference between believers and nonbelievers, they are anointed by the Holy Spirit! Mr. Ben Bessett describes the change that takes place when the Spirit of God anoints believers, the effect of this anointing, and the benefit of this anointing.
“But you have been anointed by the Holy One, and you all have knowledge.”
The Wrath of God Revealed
Man’s greatest problem is that God is good. Why? Because man is evil. And God has revealed his wrath from heaven “against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men.” Listen as Pastor Paul van Engelenhoven preaches on Romans 1:18 on God’s truth known, suppressed, and God’s three-fold wrath upon earth.
“For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all…
