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.

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.

Raised to Life

This message unpacks:

Sin is slavery — It promises freedom but ultimately controls and destroys
Baptism is a transfer of ownership — You were buried with Christ and raised into a new life
Your new life is not your own — You were bought at a price
You are alive to God now — No longer defined by your old life
Real change happens through surrender — Giving every part of your life to God

Buried with Christ

In Part 1 of this two-week series, Pastor Ryan walks through Romans 6 and what it really means to be buried with Christ in baptism. This isn’t just a symbol or a moment—it’s a turning point. A line in the sand where the old life is left behind.
