    One Thing is Necessary | Standalone Message -- South Austin Service 5/24/2026

    In this timely message, Pastor Craig dives into Luke 10:38-42 to explore the constant struggle between human busyness and divine devotion. Drawing from the well-known story of Mary and Martha, he exposes how modern distractions and packed schedules can easily distort our identity, breed anxiety, and pull us away from God's grace. Ultimately, Pastor Craig challenges us to step out of the chaos of "May-cember," embrace stillness, and choose the "one thing necessary"—a life fully devoted to sitting at the feet of Jesus.

    Faith Under Fire | Week 5

    Faith Under Fire – Week 5: When Faith Keeps Praying1 Kings 18:41–46 | Pastor Craig Turnbull What happens when prayers seem unanswered? What do we do when we keep asking God for breakthrough… and nothing changes? In Week 5 of Faith Under Fire, Pastor Craig Turnbull teaches through the final moments of Elijah’s time on Mount Carmel after God sends fire from heaven and the nation turns back to Him. But before the rain finally comes, Elijah continues praying with persistence, humility, and trust in God’s promises. This message is a powerful reminder that prayer is not just about getting results. Prayer draws us closer to God, deepens our dependence on Him, and shapes our faith while we wait. Pastor Craig highlights four key truths about prayer: • Prayer begins by believing God’s Word and trusting His promises• Prayer requires humility and surrender before the Lord• Prayer persists even when answers seem delayed• Prayer allows us to experience the power and presence of God Elijah prayed seven times before even seeing a small cloud appear on the horizon. The message challenges us not to stop praying just because we have not yet seen the answer. Whether you are praying for a prodigal child, healing in a relationship, freedom from addiction, wisdom, direction, or revival in your family and community, this sermon encourages believers to remain faithful and keep seeking God. Because sometimes while God is working on the situation…He is also working on us.

    Faith Under Fire | Week 4

    Faith Under Fire – Week 4: When Faith Stands Alone1 Kings 18:20–40 | Pastor Kacy Benson What happens when faith has to stand alone? In Week 4 of Faith Under Fire, Pastor Kacy Benson teaches through Elijah’s confrontation with the prophets of Baal on Mount Carmel. One man stood in obedience to God while an entire nation remained divided. This message reminds us that real faith is often developed privately before it is revealed publicly. Elijah learned to trust God in hidden places long before he stood boldly before crowds. When faith stands alone:• It confronts divided hearts• It stands firm even when outnumbered• It refuses to be distracted by noise• And it trusts God before seeing results God never needed the majority. He simply looked for someone willing to trust Him completely. If you’ve been struggling to stay grounded in truth, pressured by culture, or afraid of standing apart from the crowd, this message will encourage you to remain faithful and trust God fully. Because faith may stand alone for a season… but it never stands alone forever.

    Faith Under Fire | Week 3

    Faith Under Fire – Week 31 Kings 17 | Pastor Craig Turnbull What happens when faith collides with heartbreak? In Week 3 of Faith Under Fire, Pastor Craig Turnbull continues Elijah’s story through one of the most emotional moments in 1 Kings 17. A widow who had already experienced God’s miraculous provision suddenly faces devastating loss when her son becomes sick and dies. This message wrestles honestly with the questions many believers carry in seasons of suffering: Where is God when life falls apart?Why does pain still come after obedience?Can faith survive disappointment and grief? Through Elijah and the widow of Zarephath, we see that real faith is not shallow positivity or pretending everything is fine. Faith wrestles. Faith cries out. Faith brings pain honestly before the Lord. And even in the darkest moments, God is still at work. If you’ve been carrying disappointment, confusion, loss, or unanswered questions, this message will encourage you to keep bringing your heart honestly before God. Because even in suffering… God is still faithful. If you need prayer or want to take a next step in your faith, we would love to connect with you:bannockburnchurch.com/prayer

    Faith Under Fire | Week 2

    Faith Under Fire – Week 2: When Faith Goes Where It’s Sent1 Kings 17:8–16 | Pastor Craig Turnbull In Week 2 of Faith Under Fire, Pastor Craig Turnbull continues the story of Elijah and shows us what happens when faith moves in obedience to where God sends it. After being sustained by God, Elijah is called again… this time not just to trust, but to go. And where God sends him isn’t easy, comfortable, or predictable. It’s into unfamiliar territory, deep need, and a situation that requires even greater faith. When faith goes where it’s sent:• It listens first to the Word of God• It steps into real need• It dismantles fear• And it brings God’s blessing Through an ordinary man and a desperate widow, we see a powerful truth: God doesn’t just call us to grow in faith for ourselves.He sends us so others can experience Him too. This message is a direct challenge: You already know where God is calling you to trust Him.You’ve heard it. You’ve felt it. You’ve seen it in His Word. The question is… will you go? Because faith isn’t just learning, thinking, or feeling.Faith moves. Even when it’s uncomfortable.Even when it doesn’t make sense.Even when it leads you into someone else’s need. Faith goes where it’s sent.

    Faith Under Fire – Week 1

    Faith Under Fire – Week 1: When Faith Is Called 1 Kings 17:1–7 | Pastor Craig Turnbull What does real faith look like when life gets difficult? In Week 1 of our new series Faith Under Fire, Pastor Craig Turnbull introduces us to Elijah, an ordinary man living in one of the most chaotic and spiritually dark seasons in Israel’s history. A time when culture had turned from God, truth was rejected, and pressure to conform was everywhere. And right in the middle of it… God calls. Elijah’s story reminds us that faith isn’t proven in comfort. It’s revealed under pressure. When the call to faith comes: • It will often lead you into difficulty • It may require you to stand alone • It demands obedience, not just understanding • And it always leads to deeper blessing Elijah wasn’t a hero. He was ordinary. Just like us. But ordinary faith in an extraordinary God changes everything. This message challenges us to ask: Where is God calling me to trust Him right now? And am I willing to answer? Because faith isn’t just knowing what God says. It’s stepping out and living like it’s true. Even when it’s hard. Even when it doesn’t make sense. Even when it costs something. If you’ve been feeling pressure, uncertainty, or hesitation in your faith, this message will help you refocus, take your next step, and hold on to the only One who never moves. When faith is called… will you answer?

    We Are On A Rescue Mission

    We Are On a Rescue MissionPastor Kacy Benson The mission of the Church has never changed. In this message, Pastor Kacy Benson reminds us that we are not here to stay comfortable, stay inward-focused, or simply go through the motions. We are here on a mission. A rescue mission. At the heart of the gospel is a God who pursues, saves, and restores. And as followers of Jesus, we are called to reflect that same heart to the world around us. We are on a rescue mission. This message challenges us to ask:• Have I lost sight of the mission?• Am I living with urgency for people who don’t know Jesus?• Am I willing to step out of comfort to reach others? The gospel is not something we keep to ourselves. It is something we carry. God is still rescuing people.And He invites us to be part of it. If you’ve felt stuck, distracted, or disconnected from purpose, this message will refocus your heart on what matters most. We are on a rescue mission. If you need prayer or want to take a next step in your faith, we would love to connect with you: #ChurchOnline #KacyBenson #RescueMission #JesusSaves #FaithInAction #GospelCentered #HopeInChrist #ChristianLiving #PurposeDriven #GreatCommission #ReachPeople #FaithJourney

    Easter In Our Eyes – Easter Sunday: The Outsider (The Thief)

    Easter In Our Eyes – Easter Sunday: The Outsider (The Thief)Luke 23:39–43 | Pastor Craig Turnbull Easter is for everyone… even the outsider. In this Easter Sunday message, Pastor Craig Turnbull brings us to the cross and invites us to see Jesus through the eyes of an unnamed thief. A man with no history, no status, no second chances… and no time left. Three crosses. Three very different responses to Jesus. One rejects Him.One recognizes Him.One redeems. In his final moments, this thief sees what so many missed: Jesus is King. • We are all outsiders, separated by sin• Jesus draws us in through grace• And through Him, we are given life With nothing to offer and nowhere else to turn, the thief makes a simple request:“Jesus, remember me.” And Jesus responds with one of the most powerful promises in Scripture:“Today, you will be with me in paradise.” No time to fix his past.No good works to prove himself.Just faith. This is the heart of Easter. It doesn’t matter how far you feel.It’s not too late.You are not too far gone. Easter is for Pilate. Easter is for Peter.And Easter is for the outsider. Easter is for you. If you made a decision to follow Jesus, or you need prayer, we would love to connect with you: bannockburnchurch.com/prayer #EasterSunday #HeIsRisen #EasterInOurEyes #ResurrectionSunday #JesusSaves #GospelTruth #FaithInJesus #ChurchOnline #HopeInChrist #Salvation #GraceAlone #NewLifeInChrist #JesusIsKing #Forgiveness #YouAreNotTooFarGone
