We’re continuing our Summer Series with a message that speaks directly to anyone walking through hardship right now.

Not all pain is pointless.

In this week’s episode of Sunday Renewal, Ernest Benjamin explores how adversity, when handled God's way, can become one of life’s most unexpected blessings.

Rooted in Matthew 26, this message uncovers how suffering reveals who we really are, reshapes what we value, and draws us closer to the heart of God.

Whether you’re in a storm right now or still healing from the last one, The Benefits of Adversity will help you see trials not as obstacles, but as opportunities for spiritual growth.

This one’s for anyone who’s ever asked, “Why am I going through this?” or “What’s the point of my pain?”

In This Episode, You'll Discover:

✅ Why adversity is often the clearest mirror of your true faith
✅ What Peter’s denial teaches us about self-awareness and spiritual maturity
✅ How God uses trials to refine your values and redirect your life

📖 Key Scriptures:

• Matthew 26:31–35
• Romans 5:3–5
• Ecclesiastes 7:2–4
• Luke 12:13–21

We are continuing our Summer Series with a sermon that is bold, honest, and deeply needed right now.

In this episode of Sunday Renewal, Ernest Benjamin opens the Word to John 4 and challenges us with a message on evangelism that is anything but soft.

Titled “The Politically Incorrect Evangelist”, this sermon calls believers to break cultural barriers and confront personal prejudices for the sake of the gospel.

You’ll hear the story of Jesus and the Samaritan woman not just as a moment of compassion, but as a masterclass in courageous, countercultural evangelism.

In a world where it’s easy to avoid the uncomfortable, Ernest shows us how our Savior went toward discomfort to reach lost souls and how we are called to do the same.

This episode will challenge the way you see people, your mission, and what it really means to follow Jesus into the hard places.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

✅ Why sin is the root issue behind society’s brokenness
✅ The danger of allowing social and racial prejudice to block spiritual purpose
✅ How Jesus modeled evangelism that prioritized souls over status
✅ A convicting reminder: “Who are those people in your life you avoid and do they know Jesus?”

We make thousands of decisions every day, but some choices are more than daily routines—they shape our character, our calling, and even our eternity.

In this powerful message from 1 Kings 3, Ernest Benjamin walks us through Solomon’s bold request for wisdom and explores how discerning between good and evil is not just a biblical virtue—it is a spiritual necessity in a culture that often confuses the two.

This episode will challenge you to ask yourself: Are you choosing what is right or simply what is accepted?

If you have ever felt the tension between biblical convictions and cultural compromise, this message will help you stand firm with truth and grace.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

✅ Why decisions determine direction—and ultimately your destiny

✅ What Solomon’s prayer teaches us about leadership and wisdom

✅ How moral relativism erodes discernment and conviction

✅ Why calling good “evil” and evil “good” is more than confusion—it’s spiritual danger

✅ How to stay rooted in truth when sin is no longer hidden but celebrated

🎧 Whether you're walking the dog, commuting to work, or studying scripture at home, press play and rediscover the clarity and courage you need to choose God's way—especially when the world says otherwise.
