Pastor Ben Mandrell continues our walk through the advent season with a message from Luke 2:8–20. As we light the Shepherd's Candle, we discuss who these shepherds were and what this moment must have been like for them. We also look at the three titles given to Jesus in this passage: Savior, Christ, and Lord.

Pastor Ben Mandrell looks at the influence and ministry of Barnabas to highlight the need for encouraging people in the Christian church. Acts 11:21–26 shows us that this early missionary was a helper of others like Paul. God used Barnabas to strengthen the church, develop leaders, and spark a movement around the world. How can we be more like Barnabas today?

Pastor Ben Mandrell unpacks the parable of the workers in the vineyard out of Matthew 20:1–16. In this story, we see that God's blessing of salvation is coming freely to all. While this is great news, it does go against our own human sense of fairness in some ways. Listen to this important message about how we cannot earn our way to salvation.

Pastor Ben Mandrell begins a new sermon series through the books of Judges and 1 Samuel as Israel begins the search for a king. In this message, we examine the story of Ehud in Judges 3. God used this left–handed leader to deliver justice on an evil king terrorizing the Israelites. Learn how God uses ordinary people through an incredible chain of events to fulfill His purposes.

A sad fact for believers is that many of our friends and family will leave Christianity behind at one point or another. How can we be there for them during those periods? How can we make sure our own faith stands firm?

Pastor Ben Mandrell preaches on the ten lepers found in Luke 17:11–19. One man returned to Jesus after being healed in order to give thanks. In our daily lives, are we more like the nine men who ran off without showing gratitude? How can we be thankful in all circumstances, whether in times of small victories or big disappointments?

We'll also learn who Jude was, who he was writing to, and with what purpose he wrote.
