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.
