"The Average Preaching of Paul" | Pastor Ben Mandrell
Pastor Ben Mandrell teaches on the humble, yet effective, teaching of the Apostle Paul summarized in 1 Corinthians 2:1–5.

"Abel Still Speaks" | Pastor Ben Mandrell
In Hebrews 11, we reflect on the heroes of the faith who lived through the Old Testament. Among them was Abel, brother of Cain. In this sermon, Pastor Ben Mandrell teaches from the life of Abel about how we can surrender to the Lord and worship Him. We are also warned not to live as Cain, who chose to murder his brother out of envy and anger against the Lord. Through this story, we see how sin works its way into our lives and leads to suffering for all those around us. #BellevueBaptistChurch #BellevueMemphis #BenMandrell
"The Danger of Deliberate Sin" | Pastor Ben Mandrell
Looking at Hebrews 10:26–32, Pastor Ben Mandrell teaches on "The Danger of Deliberate Sin." When we choose to pursue sin deliberately, we are making a mockery of the sacrifice which Christ has made for us. This drives a wedge between us and God until we no longer feel any intimacy with Him. How can we reject sin and make sure that we are growing in our faith? #BellevueBaptistChurch #BellevueMemphis #BenMandrell
"The Three Appearances" | Pastor Ben Mandrell
Preaching from Hebrews 9:24–28, Pastor Ben Mandrell shows how Jesus has been at work in the past, present, and future.

The Old Testament rituals for worship were made new through the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus. #BellevueBaptistChurch #BellevueMemphis #BenMandrell
"The Problem of Spiritual Immaturity" | Pastor Ben Mandrell

"Three Calling Principles" | Pastor Ben Mandrell
Pastor Ben Mandrell focuses on three calling principles out of 1 Samuel 9. We never really know where God is going to call us or what He'll ask us to do. What's important is that when the moment arrives, are we willing to obey His call? It's likely we will feel inadequate for the task, but we will receive the filling of the Holy Spirit to complete all that God has asked of us. #BellevueBaptistChurch #BellevueMemphis #BenMandrell
"Enter Into His Rest" | Pastor Ben Mandrell
Pastor Ben Mandrell speaks out of Hebrews 4 on how we should enter God's rest every day. We live crazy lives and deal with constant distractions. There is never an end to the worry, but God has called us to rest in Him. When we look to the Lord for our hope, satisfaction, and belonging, we can move away from the latest self-improvement plan and cherish His grace. #BellevueBaptistChurch #BellevueMemphis #BenMandrell
