Making Room for Jesus

Christmas Eve, He Rules The World

December 24, 2022 • Pastor Ben Pitney • Micah 5:1–6

Christmas was not optional. All of this because He was born. God gave us His son. He became a man. God, being rich in mercy, because of his great love with which he loved us even though we were dead in sin, God sent his Son into the world to live without sin and die in our place. What amazing love the Father has shown to us! What incredible obedience and sacrifice the Lord Jesus gave for us! What a miraculous work of the Spirit of God. He brings us to faith, makes us new, and gives us life forever! New Birth!

Restoration, Deliverance, and Freedom

December 18, 2022 • Pastor Ben Pitney • Luke 2:25–38

God prepares a person to come to Christ by stirring up a hunger and thirst to be restored, delivered, and freed from our past and future. This can only come from Jesus Christ.

Using Money Wisely

December 11, 2022 • Pastor Ben Pitney • Luke 16:19–31

Our hearts must become dissatisfied with money and things. The way we use money shows whether our hearts have been changed so that love for others and not stuff for ourselves is what we want and find pleasure in.

Something Must Happen To Our Wills

December 4, 2022 • Pastor Ben Pitney • John 7:14–18

Jesus does not say that we just need to want Him in order to receive Him. He says we must want our whole life to be shaped by the will of God in order to even recognize Him. People cannot see and recognize the truth of Christ's teaching because the prevailing tendency of our will is defiance against the authority of God.

Recognizing Jesus

November 27, 2022 • Pastor Ben Pitney • Matthew 16:13–20

Saving faith is based on a spiritual sight of Jesus as he is in himself, the matchless Son of God. And this spiritual sight is given to us through his inspired Word.
