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.

Look to the Lamb

Pastor Josue encourages us to look to the Lamb during the holiday season.

God Moved In

In this message from the Come and See series, Pastor Ryan walks through John 1:10–14 and reminds us of a powerful truth: God didn’t stay distant—He moved in. Jesus stepped into our world, understands our pain, and stays faithful even when life feels heavy.

Before the Beginning Began

In this message, Pastor Ryan opens the Gospel of John and shows us Christmas from God’s perspective—not starting in Bethlehem, but before time itself began. John pulls back the curtain and reveals Jesus as the eternal Word: the One who existed before everything, speaks life into us, brings light into our darkness, and cannot be overcome.
