Love the way Pastor Ben structures his sermons. You get relatable stories with Biblical teachings in a fun charismatic way. That is the way you feed the flock while simultaneously bringing the lost sheep home!
Thank you for posting this video and the other video titled “why does God hate me?”. Ive been on this earth for over four decades and it had been hard and difficult. My early years I learned about violence and cruelty and loneliness . But despite that I still wanted to be a good person. I didn’t want to become like the horrible people who hurt me. And at times it seems like I’m being punished for it. I help people because I know what it like to have to do it by yourself and they pay me back with resentment. I don’t judge others because i know what it’s like to be lied on and have others hate you because of it and they lie anyways. I cried out to God and asked him why does he hate me so much? What did I do to make him so mad with me? I try to do all the things he taught me. I typed this in search and these videos came up, they are helping me to understand a little better.
Thank you for this. I recently rededicated my life to Christ and was baptized this past Sunday. On Tuesday I was laid off from my dream job. I love my job. I love the company. I was so hurt. So scared. So angry. But instead for the first time ever, I leaned on God and I’ve been in prayer since and I have so much peace. I know He will take care of me. The old Heather would have gotten mad and blamed everyone and hated everyone. Not this new Heather though. I love God and I trust Him.
I’m going through such a season of extreme testing right now. I keep injuring myself when I try to do pull-ups but I need to do them to strengthen my back because I have scoliosis and 2 herniated discs. Would people please pray for my healing? I’m trying to lean on God, but I’m finding it so incredibly difficult right now.
I’m confused you just around minute 4 or 5 said God tempts us … The Bible says “When tempted, no one should say, 'God is tempting me. ' For God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does he tempt anyone” (James 1:13).
Inward temptations are meant to deceive us and lead us to sin. God never “tempts” us, only the demons will tempt. God will only “test” us for our own good.
He does not “tempt” us to sin. I don’t believe that is scriptural. A test is different from Him tempting us. He used the words temp twice early on in this sermon.
God does not care about his own glory. That is a human trait. God gives us struggles and adversity to make a stronger and prepare to be able to one day get into heaven end of story.

This sermon was written all about me. At least that’s what it seems like. Thank you God for answering my questions in this sermon.

I think he must have misspoke
Tempt vs test.
He does not “tempt” us to sin. I don’t believe that is scriptural. A test is different from Him tempting us. He used the words temp twice early on in this sermon.
