I Struggle to Manage My Emotions

About the Sermon

What do you do when your emotions feel bigger than you can handle? In this week’s message from Ben Davis Christian Church, we explore what Scripture says about emotional regulation through the story of Hannah in 1 Samuel and the example of Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane. Whether you’re overwhelmed, discouraged, angry, or just emotionally exhausted—God invites you to bring your full, unfiltered self to Him. Learn practical tools to recognize, wrestle with, and respond to your emotions in healthy, Spirit-led ways. Because unregulated reactions wreck relationships—but prayerful surrender brings peace, healing, and wisdom.

The Gratitude Gap

In this one-off message, Pastor Ryan walks through Luke 17 and the story of the ten lepers—a story that exposes how easy it is to receive God’s blessing without responding to the One who gave it. It’s a message about slowing down, remembering, and learning to see God’s goodness in the middle of real-life chaos.

Give

This week’s message wraps up our Heart for the House series with the topic most of us feel the tension around: giving. But not giving out of guilt or pressure—giving that flows from grace, trust, and ownership.
