• 31 | Save Our Boys: Raising a Generation of Godly Leaders Through Biblical Manhood (Summer Series)
    Jun 22 2025

    We’re kicking off our Sunday Renewal Summer Series—a handpicked collection of some of the most powerful, fruit-bearing sermons Ernest Benjamin has preached over the years.

    These messages spoke to real life, met people where they were, and provided practical applications.

    Each week, we’re revisiting one of these unforgettable sermons to be reminded, refreshed, and re-centered in God’s truth.

    This week’s message is “Save Our Boys”—a bold, biblical call to raise up godly men in a culture that often confuses masculinity with either aggression or passivity.

    Preaching from 1 Kings 2, where David gives his final words to his son Solomon, Ernest unpacks the weight and clarity of a father’s charge: “Be strong, and prove yourself a man.”

    This sermon challenges us to see manhood not as a cultural stereotype but as a spiritual responsibility—one that requires courage, conviction, and consistency.

    It speaks to the role of fathers, families, and the church in raising up the next generation of men who fear God and walk in His ways.

    You’ll hear about:

    • Why raising godly sons takes more than good intentions
    • The dangers of distorted masculinity
    • What it means to walk in strength and obedience
    • How the example we live becomes the legacy we leave

    Whether you’re a parent, a mentor, or simply someone invested in the future of the church and the next generation, this message is one to hear—and hear again.

  • 30 | Guard Your Heart: The One Habit That Shapes Every Part of Your Life - Part II (Proverbs 4:23)
    Jun 15 2025

    Have you ever wondered why the same reactions keep showing up in your life, even when you try to change?

    Why the anger, fear, or insecurity surface in moments you least expect?

    That is not random. It results from something deeper...what's already flowing from your heart.

    In Part 2 of this teaching on Proverbs 4:23, we go beyond guarding your heart.

    We learn how to inspect what is already coming out of it, because your heart is not just something you carry.

    It's what is carrying you.

    If you are tired of managing symptoms and ready to address the source, this episode will help you confront the flow and invite God to do the deeper work of renewal.

    What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

    ✅ Why your words, reactions, and habits reveal the state of your heart
    ✅ How to move from surface-level change to deep spiritual transformation
    ✅ What Jesus promises to do with a heart that is tired, broken, or bitter
    ✅ Practical questions to help you trace the leak and start again

    Jun 8 2025

    This week, my wife and I celebrated our 16th wedding anniversary. I took a step back from the mic to be present and soak in the gift of that milestone.

    But I didn’t want to leave you empty-handed. I wanted to leave you encouraged.

    So I’m sharing a sermon from Hiram Kemp that left a mark on me, and I believe it will do the same for you.

    It’s a message about growing your confidence in God, especially when life tries to wear it down.

    Faith isn’t something we either have or don’t have. It’s something we can build and this message shows you how.

    What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

    ✅ Why confidence in God starts with truly knowing who He is
    ✅ How seeing God's work beyond your own corner of the world expands your faith
    ✅ The connection between studying the past and finding hope for the present
    ✅ Why bold obedience and changing your mindset deepens your trust in God
    ✅ How learning other people’s stories can strengthen your own

  • 28 | Guard Your Heart: The One Habit That Shapes Every Part of Your Life - Part I (Proverbs 4:23)
    Jun 1 2025

    We secure our homes, lock our phones, and guard our passwords, but often leave the most important part of us wide open: our hearts.

    Not the muscle in your chest, but the core of who you are—your thoughts, desires, convictions, and secrets.

    In this episode of Sunday Renewal, we explore Proverbs 4:23 and unpack why guarding your heart is not just wise; it is essential because everything in your life flows from it.

    If you have been feeling overwhelmed, reactive, or spiritually distracted, this message will help you get back to the root.

    You will learn how to build a spiritual firewall around your soul and how to protect what matters most in a world full of distractions, temptations, and noise.

    Because if your heart is the spring, then whatever flows from it becomes your life.

    What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

    ✅ What Proverbs 4:23 really means and why it might be the most important command for your spiritual health

    ✅ How your heart shapes everything from your peace to your relationships

    ✅ Why neglecting your heart can quietly unravel your walk with God

    ✅ 7 Biblical practices to help you guard your heart in a distracted world

  • 27 | When God Feels Distant and Life Feels Heavy - Part II (Psalm 13)
    May 25 2025

    What if trusting God didn’t require the pain to stop first?

    What if the most powerful kind of faith wasn’t found on the mountaintop but in the valley when everything still hurts?

    In this episode of Sunday Renewal, we return to Psalm 13 and witness something remarkable.

    David is still waiting. God still hasn’t spoken. The sorrow hasn’t lifted.

    But in the silence, something begins to shift, not in David’s situation but in his soul.

    This isn’t a story about the pain going away.

    It’s about a man choosing to trust before the rescue.

    David shows us that faith isn’t the absence of struggle. It’s a defiant trust in the middle of it.

    If you’ve ever felt like your prayers are bouncing off the ceiling or like your faith is barely hanging on, this episode will remind you that God’s silence is not His absence and your tears are not the end of your story.

    Together, we’ll explore what it means to grieve honestly, pray persistently, and worship boldly even when God feels far away.

    What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

    • How David shifts from grief to trust without a change in his circumstances
    • Why worship can be a weapon in the battle and not just a response after victory
    • What it means to pray in the dark and keep believing when you can’t see the way forward
    • How to find hope not in what you feel but in who God has always been

  • 26 | When God Feels Distant and Life Feels Heavy - Part I (Psalm 13)
    May 18 2025

    What do you do when God feels far away and life feels too heavy to carry?

    In this first part of a two-part series, we open Psalm 13—a gut-wrenching prayer from David that gives voice to the silence, sorrow, and confusion that often accompany seasons of grief.

    David doesn’t start with strength; he begins with struggle.

    Four times he cries out, “How long, O Lord?”

    Not because he stopped believing, but because he was barely holding on.

    This isn’t a sermon about having all the answers.

    It’s about having permission to question, wrestle, and bring your raw, unfiltered emotions to God without shame.

    In this episode, you’ll discover:

    ✅ Why God’s silence isn’t the same as His absence

    ✅ How grief becomes a mental and spiritual battlefield

    ✅ What Psalm 13 teaches us about permission, lament, and trust

    Whether you're in a season of loss or simply feeling spiritually dry, this episode is for you.

    Come be reminded that even in the silence, God is still near, and you are not forgotten.

  • 25 | Reasons to Seek the Lord with Hiram Kemp
    May 11 2025

    What does it mean to seek the Lord, and why is it more urgent now than ever?

    In this stirring message from guest preacher Hiram Kemp, we’re invited to slow down, listen closely, and remember the one pursuit that gives life its meaning: knowing God.

    Preaching from the book of Hosea, Hiram unpacks five powerful reasons to seek the Lord with sincerity and urgency.

    It’s a wake-up call to hearts that have grown distracted, disillusioned, or spiritually dry.

    This isn’t just a reminder to try harder. It’s a call to return to the God who heals, restores, and provides everything we truly need.

    In this episode, you’ll discover:

    ✅ Why idols—ancient or modern—always overpromise and underdeliver

    ✅ What keeps us stuck in empty rituals, and how to break free

    ✅ How God meets us not with shame, but with mercy and second chances

    ✅ Why delaying spiritual decisions is more dangerous than we think

    ✅ How seeking God realigns our identity, our purpose, and our peace

    If you’re tired of going through the motions or waiting for “the right time” to get serious about your faith, this episode is for you.

    The time to seek the Lord is now.
