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.

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…
Reverence for God
God’s name is glorious and holy. Under the Mosaic Law, the penalty for blaspheming or taking the name of the Lord in vain was death. In order to understand the severe punishment due for misusing the name of God, we must understand the honor and glory of God’s name. Listen as Pastor Paul van Engelenhoven preaches from Psalm 99 on God’s majesty, justice, transcendency,…
The Righteous Shall Live by Faith
Romans 1:16–17 and Habakkuk 2:1–5 help us understand the vital phrase “the righteous shall live by faith.” Pastor Paul van Engelenhoven presents a puzzle, and then explains “faith for faith,” why Romans quotes Habakkuk, and the meaning of saving faith.
‘For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith for faith, as it is written, “The righteous shall live by…
Blessed Are the Pure in Heart
The Lord Jesus proclaims the pure in heart blessed for they shall see God. Without a pure heart, no one will see God in blessedness, but rather in eternal condemnation. Listen as Mr. Brandt Barnard preaches from Matthew 5:8 on the blessed sight that makes the heart pure, that keeps the heart pure, and that greets those who are pure in heart.
“Blessed are the pure in…
