About the Sermon

Addiction doesn’t always look like rock bottom. Sometimes it looks like high-functioning survival—secret habits, emotional crutches, and quiet dependencies that no one else sees. In this message from Ben Davis Christian Church, discover how the Apostle Paul’s words in Romans 6 speak directly into the battle so many of us face. Whether it’s alcohol, food, screens, or stress shopping, Jesus offers real freedom—not just forgiveness. If you’re tired of managing pain with temporary fixes, The Struggle Is Real will show you how to walk toward honesty, healing, and daily surrender. Because the struggle is real—but so is the Savior.

Come Home

This powerful story reveals the heart of our Heavenly Father, who welcomes us back with grace, no matter how far we’ve strayed. Whether we see ourselves as the rebellious son or the resentful brother, the invitation is the same: come home to God’s love.

It’s Not the Seed—It’s the Soil

The problem isn’t with God’s Word—it’s with how we receive it. Jesus starts His story series by telling us the condition of your heart will determine the fruit of your life.
