The common phrase you've probably heard is “that people ask Jesus into their hearts.” What does this mean? It means that the person of Jesus takes up residence in your body. Which He calls His Temple, and you become one with Him. Sounds a lot like the language the Bible uses to describe the relationship between a husband and wife. The Bible calls Jesus “The bridegroom” and it calls us “The Bride.” This is a beautiful picture of our relationship with Him.

Here's Pastor Ben in the Book of John chapter 6, as he continues his message “Jesus Teaches The Multitudes.” “Seeing Is Believing.” That's one of the many mantras of our time, and with the advent of the internet and all the false information flying around it feels true.

The other being communion. When a person places their faith in Jesus Christ they then have the opportunity to publicly profess that faith. That is what baptism is. It's telling your faith community that you've decided to follow Jesus. Maybe you're listening right now and Jesus is Lord of your life, but you haven't taken that next step. Friend, that next step is baptism.

God could have poured out Holy and Righteous judgment on the earth for all of the sins of mankind. He could have simply wiped us all out. What did He do instead? He sent His one and only son Jesus Christ, to live a perfect life on earth as a man. Then His son chose to give His own life up for you, and for me. This is the Glorious truth of the Gospel.

We've all experienced it. A certain someone just pops into your head, you remember that awful thing they did, that awful thing they said. Your face flushes and that anger swells up. That's unforgiveness and bitterness rearing its ugly head, and that's where Pastor Ben's challenge comes in. Today you'll learn that when those feelings come to the surface, that's the opportune time to lift that person up in prayer, and begin the process of forgiving.

Stop and ask yourself, “where do the blessings in my life come from?” It's easy to think that it's all you're doing. Your hard work, your education, your diligent pursuit of your career. Now stop and ask yourself, “who gave me the very life I have that allows me to do the things I do?” The answer is obvious, it's God. Everyday you wake up and draw that first deep breath in, you can thank God for that. Not to mention He's sustained you the whole night while you slept.

Today Pastor Ben is discussing how Jesus sent His closest friends out. Commissioning them to do the work of ministry. He was endorsing them, trusting them to do God's work. It's like when you've taught your kid how to drive, and then you send them out, trusting that he's prepared enough to do what's needed without you being right by his side.

When you get saved, God sees you as righteous in Jesus, but the people who've known you can't see that. They may just shrug it off as a new phase or short-term fix. They may even be offended, thinking that you see yourself as better in some way. As Pastor Ben will warn in today's message this is normal for the Christ follower. Jesus Himself experienced this. We just need to keep following Him and approach the skeptics with compassion and patience.

Yet how often do we still tell ourselves, I've gone too far this time? God may be gracious, but I'm too undeserving.

Most of us have experienced the loss of a loved one, and most of us have some fear of our own inevitable death. But as Pastor Ben will remind us in today's message we don't need to be fearful.

Here's Pastor Ben in the Book of Mark chapter 2, as he continues his message “Jesus Is Lord Of The Sabbath.” As you dive into the Old Testament you'll see how the Israelites crafted their own unique traditions within their Community. When Jesus stepped into the world He bent a few of the traditions and that rubbed the elders the wrong way. But have you ever thought about what Jesus was trying to convey by doing that?

It's not something to do as a performance to show everyone how you're more spiritual than them.

It's in those times of hunger and thirst that you realize that Jesus is everything you need. But when you make fasting a show you can put the wrong image in your mind and miss out on the deeper relationship God has in store for you.

There's power in prayer, because when you pray you're speaking to the God of the universe. How incredible is that? So as you continue to listen, talk to Jesus.

In today’s message, Pastor Ben teaches that your daily walk with God is a springboard into Gospel conversations with those you pass by every day. You don’t need to have a Ph.D. to be an evangelist. It’s okay if you didn’t go to seminary. All you need to do is allow God to speak through you. We often think of evangelism as something that happens through the acts of missionaries and pastors.

It makes the meat more tender and the flavors tend to penetrate more. There’s not always time to cook that way, so sometimes a quick sear is the more feasible option, even though it can dry the meat out if you’re not careful. Today, Pastor Ben teaches that God doesn’t always choose the fast option. Many times, your faith will be put in the slow cooker. Growth will happen slowly over time, but the result will be amazing.

Or you can choose to trust in the one who promised that He would never leave you or forsake you; It's easy to believe that while things are going well, but as we step into more uncertain times, the focus of your faith will be made clear.

These pictures can get pretty wild, but you'll see as the message unfolds that God gave Daniel knowledge of kings and kingdoms for years to come after his time. How about you?

A lot of people would answer with things like, “I was a really kind person”, or “I went to church almost every Sunday”. The Bible is clear; however, that there is only one way to answer that question that is acceptable to God. The only answer can be, “Because Jesus died for me, and I have accepted him and believed in Him as my savior”. In today’s message, Pastor Ben will teach you that works will never earn salvation.

He was ready to wrap His arms around you, carry you out, and begin the process of restoring you to the beautiful creation that He intended. http://s3-us-west-1.amazonaws.com/pixelark.online.church.media.center/363/0000087428/CDTW20240927.mp366e5a33aed0fd.mp3 Fri, 27 Sep 2024 08:00:00 PDT Christianity no calvary chapel montrose, pastor ben garate christian talk messages christianity jesus christ god satan hell heaven Ben Garate God’s protection of Shadrach, Meshack, and Abednego is one of the coolest miracles you can find in the Old Testament.

When you come across something you want to get involved with, first, ask the Lord if His hand is in this opportunity. It's easy to get swept away in a movement, only to later realize the Lord had something else in mind for you. Not sure where to start? Begin in the Lord's word, seek His will for your life, and never neglect your relationship with the Lord. There are lots of good causes and opportunities to get involved with in every community.

First, do not be deceived. Many will come proclaiming to be the Messiah, but there is only one Jesus. Next, do not be afraid. No matter what is going on on Earth, the Lord is in control of all things. And finally, gather together and encourage one another to finish the race strong. Your time here on Earth will be short, focus on the things that matter to the Lord and love one another well.

At Jesus' second coming to the Earth, He will “rapture” all of the believers and take them to be with Him in heaven! Then believers in Christ will be with the Lord for eternity! For those who have not yet given their lives to Christ, they will have an opportunity to enter into a relationship with Jesus.

Jesus miraculously came to Earth once before through the virgin Mary, He died on the cross for the sins of the world and later ascended into heaven... But He is coming back... But how do we know when? The Bible tells us that there are specific events and cues that signal the second coming of Jesus.

Fixing a single mom's car or spending time with a widow can brighten their day, and in turn, bring glory to the Lord for all He has blessed you with. http://s3-us-west-1.amazonaws.com/pixelark.online.church.media.center/363/0000085524/CDTW20240506.mp366339d88effcd.mp3 Mon, 06 May 2024 08:00:00 PDT Christianity no calvary chapel montrose, pastor ben garate christian talk messages christianity jesus christ god satan hell heaven Ben Garate When the prodigal son returned, the brother became worried that the father would love the lost son more than him. As Pastor Ben shares in today's message, you do not need to worry that your Heavenly Father would love another more than you. The Lord loves each of His children the same. Spending time worrying about the Father’s love only takes away the joy of resting in His love. Likewise, everything that the Father has is also yours.

Perhaps you know of someone who has not become aware of their sin and the need for repentance. The best thing YOU can do is to pray for their heart. Ask the Lord that they would become aware of their sin and have the willingness to seek reparations before it's too late. And if you know of a situation where it's too late, pray for the one still at home who is likely grieving.

In his message today, Pastor Ben touches on three steps required for repentance. First, one must be willing to get up and apologize. Second, they must be of the mind to ask for forgiveness, and finally, there should be some emotional response like remorse. It's easy to see the difference when someone just says they are sorry versus someone who has a true spirit of reconciliation. There is a difference between saying you are sorry and true repentance.

It’s a feeling that you deserve all the things you desire and others don’t matter as much. Yet, Pastor Ben will challenge that mindset today. If you are a child of God, you’re called to be a servant to others and think less about yourself. Your comfort, fun, and rest should take a backseat when others’ salvation isn’t secure. Don’t insist on privilege as a believer, but make yourself less to serve others. A great problem in our culture, and in our churches is a feeling of entitlement and selfishness.

Thankfully the solution for both is to spend more time in the word, in prayer, and meditation on scripture. When you spend time with the Lord, you get out of your head and experience the true living God. http://s3-us-west-1.amazonaws.com/pixelark.online.church.media.center/363/0000083404/CDTW20240105.mp3658310b4bc42c.mp3 Fri, 05 Jan 2024 08:00:00 PDT Christianity no calvary chapel montrose, pastor ben garate christian talk messages christianity jesus christ god satan hell heaven Ben Garate One enemy that is often overlooked is death.

But it's important that we as Christians never make someone feel bad for not attending church. http://s3-us-west-1.amazonaws.com/pixelark.online.church.media.center/363/0000083149/CDTW20231213.mp3656fa582c17fd.mp3 Wed, 13 Dec 2023 08:00:00 PDT Christianity no calvary chapel montrose, pastor ben garate christian talk messages christianity jesus christ god satan hell heaven Ben Garate Since the fall of humanity in the Garden of Eden, there has been sin in the world from the very first people Adam and Eve.

How many times should you forgive someone? Shouldn’t one be enough? Have you ever forgiven someone and they immediately turn around and go against you? It feels awful. You feel betrayed, and you get angry. Jesus feels the same way every time that you sin against Him, yet He continues to forgive you.

Or is it just a front you put on for others to see? http://s3-us-west-1.amazonaws.com/pixelark.online.church.media.center/363/0000079681/CDTW20230602.mp3645c3f0e76008.mp3 Fri, 02 Jun 2023 08:00:00 PDT Christianity no calvary chapel montrose, pastor ben garate christian talk messages christianity jesus christ god satan hell heaven Ben Garate Have you noticed how many people today are conformed to each other?

He was ready to wrap His arms around you, carry you out, and begin the process of restoring you to the beautiful creation that He intended. http://s3-us-west-1.amazonaws.com/pixelark.online.church.media.center/363/0000078095/CDTW20230228.mp363f4d9722b4a5.mp3 Tue, 28 Feb 2023 08:00:00 PDT Christianity no calvary chapel montrose, pastor ben garate christian talk messages christianity jesus christ god satan hell heaven Ben Garate God’s protection of Shadrach, Meshack, and Abednego is one of the coolest miracles you can find in the Old Testament.

When we strive to better ourselves in the sight of the world, we only set ourselves up for failure; there will always be someone who’s more talented or better looking. But when you have the joy of your savior in your life, your scale for comparison becomes so much bigger. Jesus becomes your standard and nothing short will suffice.

He loves you and died on the cross for you so that you can live in freedom and joy as you walk with Him. And, though your circumstances may improve, knowing God is the goal.
