Are you tired of getting love wrong? In this powerful message, Apostle Ken Bennett kicks off the Love Life Skills series with a question that will change how you approach relationships: Have your desires been discipled by God or by Egypt?

Drawing from Leviticus 18, Apostle Bennett reveals why so many of us struggle in love: We've allowed the world to disciple our dating, our sexuality, and our relationship standards. We treat love like a fast-food drive-thru when God is calling us to crucified love that honors Him.

Whether you're single, dating, or married, this message confronts a sobering truth: We've learned to carry the cross in our finances and our serving, but the one area most believers refuse to carry the cross is in our love life.

Discover three foundational Love Life Skills and take an honest assessment of how you show up in relationships. Because the question isn't "What are you ordering?" The question is: "What are you willing to sacrifice to honor God in your love life?"

You become what you worship. Stop dating like Egypt. Start loving like God.

In the first message of the "Flourish" series, Apostle Ken Bennett challenges us to examine the depth and breadth of the Gospel in our lives. Drawing from Psalm 92, he reveals that God hasn't called us to merely survive; He's called us to flourish. But here's the truth: fading can look like success, and many believers don't realize they're spiritually withering until it's too late.

Discover what it means to be planted like a palm tree and a cedar of Lebanon, understand the difference between God's removal and pruning in your life, and learn how to measure true transformation. This isn't about how strong your belief is; it's about how deeply you're rooted in the Gospel and how much fruit your life is bearing.

Are you flourishing or fading?

Key Scripture: Psalm 92:12-15

Authentic Worship or Just Performance? | Apostle Ken Bennett

Is your worship real—or are you just going through the motions?

In this convicting message from 1 Peter 1:13 and 2:1, Apostle Ken Bennett explores the critical connection between worship and identity. This isn't about mental health—it's about spiritual sanity: living with clarity, preparing our minds, and stripping away the masks we hide behind.

The central truth? You become what you worship.

If we're clinging to religious routines without real surrender, choosing spiritual sophistication over authentic transformation, we're worshiping the wrong thing. This sermon challenges us to examine what's truly on the throne of our hearts and return to worship that actually changes us from the inside out.

Ready to release whatever has taken God's place in your life? This message will meet you right where you are.
