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.

Faithfulness

In Week 2 of our Be Our Guest series, guest speaker Makayla Lance walks through the story of Abraham and Sarah in Genesis and reminds us of a truth we desperately need to hear:
God is faithful—even when we struggle to believe He will come through.
For 25 years, Abraham and Sarah waited on a promise from God that seemed impossible. And somewhere in the waiting came doubt, frustration, hopelessness, and the temptation to take control themselves.
Maybe you know that feeling too.

30 Days to Live with Mike Breaux

In this powerful kickoff to our Be Our Guest series, guest speaker Mike Breaux challenges us to stop putting off the life God is calling us to live.

Drawing from Acts 4, this message is a direct invitation to move from spiritual boredom to a life marked by purpose, courage, and obedience to Jesus.
