  • The Truth About Treasure Series

    Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Feb 9, 2022
    based on 1 rating
     | 3,558 views

    We live in a culture that is consumed with possessions and wealth. In fact, most are judged more by what they have accumulated than the character they possess. It seems as if most can never get enough.

    The Truth about Treasure Matthew 6: 19-24 In our text, Jesus addresses an issue that was prevalent in His day. He was surrounded by many who sought worldly gain. They were often preoccupied with acquiring material wealth and possessions. We too live in a culture that is consumed with possessions ...read more

  • The Fundamentals Of Fasting Series

    Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Feb 2, 2022
     | 2,683 views

    Fasting is something that creates uncertainty and anxiety in the minds of many. I think if we will take the time to consider what our Lord has to say and seek to understand fasting, we will become more comfortable with it.

    The Fundamentals of Fasting Matthew 6: 16-18 We have come to a portion of Scripture that is little discussed in our day. I don’t think I have ever heard this passage preached or dealt with at length. The focus of this portion of the Sermon on the Mount is fasting. That may be something the average ...read more

  • The Fundamentals Of Forgiveness Series

    Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Jan 26, 2022
     | 3,888 views

    Our Lord mentioned forgiveness in the model prayer, V.12, knowing a forgiving spirit was imperative for effective prayer. The importance of forgiveness is revealed by the fact that it is the only aspect of prayer that our Lord expounded further upon.

    The Fundamentals of Forgiveness Matthew 6: 14-15 In our last study we considered the Lord’s model for prayer. The verses we’ve read today are tied to the example Jesus gave us to follow. This was clearly no accident. Our Lord mentioned forgiveness in the model prayer, V.12, knowing a forgiving ...read more

  • The Aspects Of Prayer Series

    Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Jan 12, 2022
     | 2,195 views

    In this text, Jesus spoke of nine different aspects of prayer that we are encouraged to embrace as we pray. His focus deals with the attitude of the heart. This is not a sample, replacement prayer we are to use instead of seeking the Lord for our needs and desires.

    The Aspects of Prayer Matthew 6: 9-13 We have come to one of the most recognized portions in all of Scripture. I think it would be safe to say, this passage is among the top three most quoted passages, along with Psalm 23 and John 3:16. Most of the time, it is referred to as the Lord’s Prayer. I ...read more

  • The Proper Attitude In Prayer Series

    Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Jan 5, 2022
    based on 1 rating
     | 5,147 views

    Prayer is something we are all familiar with, but I wonder if we are familiar enough with prayer? Is it possible that we have become too familiar with prayer? I believe there are instances in our lives where both are true.

    The Proper Attitude in Prayer Matthew 6: 5-8 We have come to the portion of the Sermon on the Mount where Jesus begins to address prayer. The act of praying is literally imploring God to move on our behalf. It is described as words of worship or entreaty that are offered to the Lord. Prayer is ...read more

  • An Offering Given In Purity Series

    Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Dec 15, 2021
     | 1,972 views

    Every believer ought to be a philanthropist in that they seek the welfare of those around them. That is not to say that we support ungodly behavior, but that we seek to assist those in need.

    An Offering Given in Purity Matthew 6: 1-4 Today we begin a new chapter in our study of the Sermon on the Mount, but it is just a continuation of what we have studied in the past. We are still dealing with the message Jesus preached to the multitudes. His focus has shifted somewhat, but He ...read more

  • Love Beyond Limits Series

    Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Dec 8, 2021
     | 3,092 views

    Just as it was in Jesus’ day, many have a perception of love, but it is not love as God commands. Much of what we see today described as love does not fit the biblical model for love.

    Love beyond Limits Matthew 5: 43-48 As we close out the fifth chapter of Matthew, we are getting close to the midway point of the great sermon Jesus preached. For the past several weeks we have considered various contrasts Jesus made regarding time honored traditions and the reality of what God ...read more

  • A Word Concerning Confrontation Series

    Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Dec 1, 2021
     | 1,981 views

    Most of us have, at some point, desired to get even with those who have wronged us. There is something within our human nature that desires to “return the favor.” These attitudes are contrary to God's will for our lives.

    A Word Concerning Confrontation Matthew 5: 38-42 As we continue our study in the Sermon on the Mount, we come to a passage that we all have heard a portion of quoted many times in our lives: An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth. This is often quoted in anger, or in a desire to repay a wrong ...read more

  • A Word Concerning Character Series

    Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Nov 10, 2021
     | 2,428 views

    The words men speak are actually a reflection of the heart. People eventually speak what they feel. The character of men, their inner being is eventually revealed as they speak.

    A Word Concerning Character Matthew 5: 33-37 As I began to study this passage, initially it was one of the most difficult to discern that I have studied. I realized the reason for my difficulty was directly related to my approach. The majority of commentaries on this passage approach it from the ...read more

  • A Word Concerning Divorce (Part 2) Series

    Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Nov 3, 2021
     | 1,817 views

    What does the Bible have to say about divorce? Are there circumstances in which divorce is permissible? What counsel does Scripture give Christians regarding divorce? The answer to these questions are in the Bible.

    A Word Concerning Divorce (Part 2) Matthew 5: 31-32 Today, I would like to finish up our study of the portion of the Sermon on the Mount where our Lord dealt with divorce. As I mentioned last time, it is not my intention to single out or condemn any who have faced divorce. I am aware of the pain ...read more

  • A Word Concerning Divorce (Part 1) Series

    Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Oct 27, 2021
     | 1,663 views

    What does Scripture teach about divorce? Does God encourage divorce? Is divorce permissible for any reason? Jesus reveals much regarding these significant questions.

    A Word Concerning Divorce (Part 1) Matthew 5: 31-32 As we approach our text, I am reminded of the words of Dr. Alan Carr. “When you preach through books of the Bible one of the great blessings is that, sooner or later, you will preach on every subject imaginable. But, one of the disadvantages is ...read more

  • The Preserving Work Of God

    Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Oct 24, 2021
     | 1,721 views

    The Father had a significant role in the past aspect of our salvation. Christ had the prominent role in our present salvation, and the Spirit holds the primary role in the future aspect of our salvation – sealing and preserving believers.

    The Preserving work of God Ephesians 1: 11-14 Over the past couple weeks, we have been discussing the role of the Trinity regarding our salvation. We have considered the sovereign work of God the Father and the redeeming work of Christ the Son. As we conclude this powerful passage, we will examine ...read more

  • A Word Concerning Morality Series

    Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Oct 20, 2021
     | 2,038 views

    The text is a portion of the Sermon on the Mount, and a distinct biblical doctrine, that is often overlooked and even ignored. In this portion of His message Jesus dealt with the immorality of adultery and emphasized the importance of morality among believers.

    A Word Concerning Morality Matthew 5: 27-30 Today we come to a portion of the Sermon on the Mount, and a distinct biblical doctrine, that is often overlooked and even ignored.

    based on 1 rating
     | 4,247 views

    One cannot examine the gracious provision of salvation apart from the finished work of Christ. Christ made the opportunity of salvation a reality through His atoning sacrifice and triumphant resurrection.

    The Redeeming work of God Ephesians 1: 7-10 Our text today deals with the present aspect of our salvation and the provision of Christ which secured salvation for humanity. One cannot examine the gracious provision of salvation apart from the finished work of Christ. The Father had a plan that ...read more

  • The Sovereign Work Of God

    Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Oct 2, 2021
     | 1,875 views

    Salvation is a multi-faceted provision, with past, present, and future implications. One is biblically correct in stating that we have been saved, we are being saved, and we will be saved.

    The Sovereign work of God Ephesians 1: 3-6 As we continue to move through the first chapter of the Ephesian letter, we come to one of the greatest doctrinal passages in all of Scripture. It is interesting to note, in the original Greek, verses three through fourteen are one continual sentence. In ...read more
