"What You'll Need Inside the Storm" | Pastor Ben Mandrell
Beginning a new sermon series in James, Pastor Ben Mandrell teaches on what you'll need inside the storms of life. When hard times show up, how do we react? Are we angry with God or do we see trials as opportunities for growth? As Christians, being able to find peace and joy in the middle of life's most difficult moments is a witness to our faith in God. #BellevueBaptistChurch #BellevueMemphis #BenMandrell
"When the Tables Are Turned" | Pastor Ben Mandrell
Pastor Ben Mandrell finishes our series in Esther by talking about the great reversal of outcomes in Esther 9.

Even when times are difficult, never forget that God is at work and He can perform miracles you cannot fathom. #BellevueBaptistChurch #BellevueMemphis #BenMandrell
"The Pursuit of More" | Pastor Ben Mandrell
Beginning in Esther 3, Pastor Ben Mandrell walks through the story of Queen Esther and teaches on the folly of Haman. Burning with pride and ambition, Haman orchestrates the events that lead to his downfall and the rescue of the Jewish people. How does the pursuit of more become a stumbling block for us? #BellevueBaptistChurch #BellevueMemphis #BenMandrell
"Don't Be a Fool" | Pastor Ben Mandrell
Beginning a new series in Esther, Pastor Ben Mandrell looks to the example of King Ahasuerus (Xerxes) as a warning about foolish behavior. The king was full of pride, influenced by substances, and surrounded by people who only wanted to agree with him. In our lives, we need to seek out the wisdom of others, pursue humility, and be only consumed by the Holy Spirit. #BellevueBaptistChurch #BellevueMemphis #BenMandrell

"Called to an Undistracted Devotion" | Ozzy Wei
Ozzy Wei teaches from 1 Corinthians 7 on the subject of singleness and following after the Lord wherever He has placed you. No matter your marital status, we all have milestones that we think will make us whole. As you wait for the Lord to work in your life, don't forget to obey Him in your current season. #BellevueBaptistChurch #BellevueMemphis
"When the Naysayers Come" | Pastor Ben Mandrell
Pastor Ben Mandrell continues our spring study of Nehemiah, this time looking at what happens when the naysayers come calling. God had given Nehemiah a mission, but there were people who wanted to stop the progress of rebuilding the wall and humiliate him. What do we do when these same critics come for us and stomp on our dreams? Pastor Ben looks at the difference between constructive criticism and a spirit of negativity in this helpful message. #BellevueBaptistChurch #BellevueMemphis #BenMandrell
