    Sermon: Get Ready - Part 2 | 428 Ministries | Ben Lewis

    ⚔️ Are you spiritually prepared for the battles life throws at you? In Part 2 of the “Stay Ready” series, 428 Ministries dives deep into the Armor of God from Ephesians 6 and what it actually looks like to live it out in today’s world. From the Shoes of Peace to the Sword of the Spirit, this message breaks down how truth, faith, salvation, prayer, and Scripture protect believers from fear, doubt, temptation, anxiety, and deception. This message also gets personal — sharing real stories about fear, faith, answered prayers, spiritual battles, and learning to trust God even when life feels uncomfortable. Whether you’re struggling with anxiety, questioning your purpose, fighting temptation, or just trying to stay grounded in a chaotic world, this sermon is a reminder that God has already provided everything you need — but you have to put the armor on. Most importantly, this message ends with a clear Gospel invitation and a reminder that readiness doesn’t come from trying harder… it comes from surrendering your life to Jesus Christ.📖 Scriptures Referenced:• Ephesians 6:13-17• Luke 12:35-40• Matthew 4🙏 If this message encouraged you, make sure to LIKE, SUBSCRIBE, and SHARE it with someone who needs encouragement today.428 Ministries | Ben and Christy Lewis⁠⁠⁠⁠www.428Ministries.com⁠⁠⁠⁠Watch on YouTube: ⁠⁠⁠⁠@428Ministries⁠⁠⁠⁠Record Date: 05.13.2026#ArmorOfGod #StayReady #ChristianSermon #Faith #Jesus #428Ministries #BibleTeaching #SpiritualWarfare #ChristianYouTube #ephesians612

    Scripture Analysis: Luke 11:23 | You're Either With Me, Or Against Me...| 428 Ministries

    In this episode, we break down Luke 11:23 and the powerful statement Jesus makes: “Whoever is not with me is against me, and whoever does not gather with me scatters.” Jesus challenges the idea that we can remain neutral when it comes to faith. In a world where many people try to stay on the fence spiritually, this verse forces us to confront a hard truth—there is no middle ground with Christ. We explore what Jesus meant by gathering versus scattering, why following Him is meant to be active rather than passive, and how our choices, silence, and actions can either help build God’s Kingdom or unintentionally push people away from it. If you’ve ever wondered whether simply believing is enough, or what it really looks like to be “with” Jesus in everyday life, this conversation will challenge and encourage you. Join us as we unpack the context, meaning, and real-life implications of Luke 11:23. 428 Ministries | Ben and Christy Lewis ⁠⁠⁠www.428Ministries.com⁠⁠⁠ Watch on YouTube: ⁠⁠⁠@428Ministries⁠⁠⁠ Record Date: 03.13.2026

    B-Sides: 10 Years Late, But Right On Time | 428 Ministries | Ben Lewis

    Welcome to the very first episode of B-Sides — the companion podcast to the sermons from 428 Ministries. If the main sermon is the A-side, this is the deeper cut. In this episode, I unpack what didn’t make it into the message — including the full story behind “ten years late, but right on time.” That includes: Why I accidentally called The Prince of Egypt “the Joseph movie” How a 30-minute sermon turned into… not 30 minutes And the real story behind the Atlanta Falcons blowing a 28–3 lead to the New England Patriots and how I mistakenly took that as a sign from God Yes — that Super Bowl.Yes — with Tom Brady.Yes — that 28–3. What started as a sports heartbreak turned into a spiritual lesson about obedience, testing God, and what happens when we ask for signs instead of simply saying yes. This episode is about calling.It’s about doubt.It’s about misinterpreting silence.And it’s about realizing that delayed obedience is still better than never obeying at all. If you’ve ever felt like you missed your moment…If you’ve ever wondered whether you heard God wrong…If you’ve ever thought, “Maybe I’m not qualified”… This one’s for you.

    Sermon: 10 Years Late, But Right On Time | 428 Ministries | Ben Lewis

    **10 Years Late, but Right on Time** What if the delay isn’t denial—but design? In this sermon, *10 Years Late, but Right on Time*, we explore the truth that God’s timing is never rushed and never random. Even when life feels delayed, uncertain, or off schedule, you may be exactly where God wants you to be. This message speaks to the waiting seasons—the years you thought you were behind, the prayers that seemed unanswered, and the moments when progress felt slow. You’ll be encouraged to trust that blessings arrive in God’s time and according to His purpose, not our pressure. When God moves, He does so with precision, intention, and perfect love. If you’ve ever wondered whether you missed your moment, this sermon is a reminder: you’re not late—you’re right on time. Don't forget to Like and Subscribe!
