About the Sermon

Revival requires ruthless honesty. Ezekiel confronts the leaders of Israel for harboring idols in their hearts—hidden things that compete with God for their devotion. Today, we face similar challenges: success, comfort, relationships, or approval that can take God’s rightful place in our lives. True revival happens when we identify these idols and surrender them completely to God’s authority.

I Struggle with Addictive Behavior

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.

I Struggle with Lust

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.
