How do you step into a new season when the old one still has its hands on you?
In Isaiah 43, God speaks straight into the heaviness of His people and into ours:
“Do not remember the former things… Behold, I will do a new thing.”
This episode is a powerful reminder that God’s mercy is stronger than your memory and that He often begins His greatest work long before you feel it.
In This Episode, You’ll Discov...
Guest speaker Hiram Kemp walks us through a clear, hope-filled framework for identity—rooted not in trends or achievements, but in the God who made us in His image.
This message confronts our idol-making hearts, equips us to respond with empathy, and shows how the gospel dismantles false narratives with truth and grace.
In This Episode, You’ll Discover:
✅ Identity that lasts: Why being made in the image of God is ...
Sometimes we wonder if God really sees what happens behind church doors — the meetings, the manipulation, the moments when power crushes people instead of protecting them.
Ezekiel 34 answers that question with unmistakable clarity: God sees. God cares. And God will act.
In this powerful episode, Ernest walks us into one of the most sobering scenes in Scripture — a divine courtroom where God Himself takes the stand...
Sometimes the deepest wounds don’t come from enemies—they come from leaders.
From people we trusted to guide, protect, and care for us.
In Ezekiel 34, God doesn’t stay silent about failed leadership.
He grieves it.
He exposes the heartbreak of shepherds who stop shepherding, and the devastating impact that neglect has on His people.
This message unpacks God’s heart toward the scattered and the wounded—the ones who still love Him but n...
Let’s talk about the pain no one expects—hurt inside the church.
If you’ve been shamed with Scripture, silenced in the name of “unity,” or dismissed when you spoke up, this episode is for you.
In Ezekiel 34, God doesn’t look away—He confronts corrupt shepherds, defends His flock, and promises to personally rescue the wounded.
This isn’t just history.
It’s God’s heart on display: He’s not loyal to platforms—He’s loyal to His...
Let’s be honest—no one expects to get hurt by the people of God.
That’s what makes church hurt so painful.
It’s not just disappointment—it’s betrayal in the name of God.
In this deeply compassionate episode of Sunday Renewal, Ernest Benjamin speaks directly to the pain so many quietly carry—the pain of being wounded by the very place that was supposed to be safe.
Whether it came through gossip, hypocrisy, abuse of authority, or sile...
What if evangelism wasn’t reserved for “experts,” but woven into normal life—your lunch break, your group text, your neighbor’s driveway?
In this energizing message, our guest speaker, Allen Webster, takes the pressure off and shows how ordinary Christians can do extraordinary good by taking simple steps that lead people to Jesus.
He unpacks the GOSPEL from “GO” to “Everlasting Life,” and reminds us what stands in the middle: Some P...
In this episode, we step into Revelation 20:9–10, where Satan makes his final stand and surrounds the people of God.
From a human point of view, it looks hopeless.
But in an instant, heaven moves—fire falls, the rebellion ends, and the devil is cast down forever.
This passage reminds us that even when evil feels overwhelming, God is still in control.
His power is decisive, His judgment is final, and His victory is secure.<...
The world feels like it’s unraveling.
Wars drag on.
Corruption is uncovered at the highest levels.
Propaganda spreads faster than truth.
Justice is delayed while the innocent suffer.
If you’ve ever looked at the headlines and asked, “Where is God? Why does evil keep winning?”— This message is for you.
In Revelation 20, God pulls back the curtain and shows us how the story ends.
Satan doesn’t slip the lock; God holds the key.
Evil does...
We live in a world where the Holy Spirit is often misunderstood. Some attach His name to every feeling or impulse. Others reduce Him to an abstract doctrine. But Scripture paints a much clearer—and far more beautiful—picture.
In this week’s Guest Spotlight episode, Hiram Kemp takes us through what it really means to have the Spirit of God dwelling within. He shows how the Spirit’s presence isn’t about chasing signs or emotions—it’s ...
Have you ever knocked on a door and wondered if anyone was on the other side?
Prayer can feel that way.
We ask, we seek, we knock, and sometimes all we hear is silence.
But in Luke 11:9–13, Jesus pulls back the curtain on God’s heart.
He reminds us that prayer isn’t a gamble, it’s a guarantee because our Father is generous, faithful, and never tired of hearing from His children.
In this episode of Sunday Renewal, we continue our Teach...
What do you do when life knocks on your door at midnight?
Not literally—but in those moments when you feel empty, weak, and out of answers.
That’s exactly the picture Jesus uses to teach us how to pray in Luke 11.
Prayer, He says, isn’t polished or polite.
It’s pounding on heaven’s door when you have nothing left to give.
It’s bold, shameless persistence that refuses to walk away until the Father responds.
In this week’s episode of Sun...
What if prayer wasn’t just about the “big” moments—eternity, salvation, or crisis?
What if God actually wanted you to bring Him your everyday needs—your bills, your battles, your bread?
In this episode of Sunday Renewal, we continue our Teach Us Again series in Luke 11:3–4.
Last time, we focused on the Godward focus of prayer—His name, His kingdom, His glory. But Jesus doesn’t stop there. He teaches us that prayer is also about depen...
What if prayer wasn’t a performance, a formula, or a last resort in times of crisis?
What if it could be simple again—honest, bold, and deeply beautiful?
In this episode of Sunday Renewal, Ernest takes us into Luke 11, where the disciples watched Jesus pray and finally asked, “Lord, teach us to pray.”
What follows isn’t just a set of words to memorize, but an invitation to a relationship.
Jesus shows us how to pray as children who bel...
Guest Spotlight: Hiram Kemp
This week on Sunday Renewal, guest speaker Hiram Kemp takes us on a journey through the dramatic highs and crushing lows of the prophet Elijah’s life.
From his bold stand on Mount Carmel, calling down fire from heaven, to the depths of despair where he sat under a broom tree ready to give up—Elijah’s story is a raw and relatable portrait of faith under pressure.
Hiram unpacks how God me...
This week on Sunday Renewal, we’re welcoming a powerful voice to the podcast—Allen Webster, a longtime friend, preacher, teacher, and one of the most widely read writers in the church today.
Allen brings a deeply moving message from Luke 15, reminding us that no matter how far we’ve gone, God is always ready to run toward us with open arms.
This isn't just a parable—it’s a portrait of a Father who doesn’t wait for you to get it ...
What if prayer wasn’t about the words you say—but the heart behind them?
In this week’s episode of Sunday Renewal, we continue our Summer Series with a timely message called “The Heart of Prayer.”
Drawing from Matthew 6 and Luke 11, Ernest walks us through Jesus’ teaching on prayer—not as a performance, but as a posture.
In a world where spiritual habits can easily become hollow rituals, this message is a powerful reminder that God i...

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

You’ll hear the story o...
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 y...
