I Struggle with Lust

About the Sermon

Lust is one of the most quietly destructive struggles in the church—and in our culture. In this message from Ben Davis Christian Church, you'll discover how Jesus addresses lust not with shame, but with clarity and compassion. Whether you're single or married, male or female, lust distorts the way we see people, damages relationships, rewires our brains, and creates distance between us and God. But there’s hope: Jesus invites you to something greater. Learn how to fight lust with radical purity, total surrender, and lasting freedom. If you’re tired of secret struggles and fake fixes, this message is for you.

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.
