    Ep. 40 The Judgement - Genesis 19 - 11/01/26

    What happens when God's judgment meets human depravity? And what does the story of Lot reveal about the danger of compromising with the world?In Genesis 19, we encounter one of the most disturbing accounts in the Bible. The wickedness of Sodom is exposed, Lot's compromises become increasingly apparent, and God's judgment falls upon the city. Yet woven throughout this account is another important theme: the mercy of God toward undeserving people.This passage challenges us to look beyond the obvious sins of others and examine our own hearts. Lot's story reminds us how easily we can become influenced by the world around us rather than influencing it with the goodness and truth of God.*In this message, we explore three themes:* Sodom's depravity and the seriousness of human sin.Lot's compromise and the danger of being shaped by the world.God's mercy and the grace he extends to undeserving people.It's easy to point fingers at Sodom and feel righteous. But Lot shows us how quickly quiet compromise can turn into a broken life.Don't conform to the world around you. Live with distinct, courageous, God-fearing influence. And where you've drifted, remember that God's grace meets us in our need.*Scripture:* Genesis 19*Series:* The Promise: The Story of AbrahamLearn more about Rise Church: https://risechurchdyer.comService from Rise Church in Dyer, IndianaSermon preached by Pastor Josh Benner Link to full service video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4r7VorfWeAY

    Ep. 39 The Host - Genisis 18 - 10/25/29

    Is Anything Too Hard for the Lord? | Hospitality, Faith & God’s Promises | Genesis 18What does biblical hospitality look like, and what does it reveal about the character of God?In Genesis 18, Abraham welcomes three unexpected visitors and offers them a feast. Through this encounter, God reaffirms His promise that Sarah will have a son, even when the promise seems impossible. The chapter then turns to a sobering conversation about the wickedness of Sodom and Gomorrah, as Abraham pleads with the Lord to show mercy.In this sermon from our series The Promise: The Story of Abraham, we explore three scenes from Genesis 18: a feast, a laugh, and a conversation. Along the way, we discover that hospitality is more than entertaining guests or opening our homes. It reflects the goodness of God, who provides for His people and calls them to extend that same care to others.We also consider the power of God’s promises, the question “Is anything too hard for the Lord?”, and Abraham’s humble appeal for mercy on behalf of others. Ultimately, this passage points us toward the greater hope of the gospel: Jesus Christ, who not only intercedes for sinners but gives Himself to bear the penalty of our sin.In this sermon, we’ll explore:Abraham’s example of biblical hospitality and generosity.Sarah’s laughter and God’s faithfulness to His promises.Why nothing is too hard for the Lord.Abraham’s intercession for Sodom and the relationship between justice and mercy.How the hospitality we receive from God should shape the way we treat others.A question to consider: What is one way you can practice hospitality that pushes you beyond your comfort zone?If this message encourages you, consider liking the video, subscribing to the channel, and sharing it with someone who would benefit from it.#Genesis18 #BiblicalHospitality #Abraham #BibleSermon #Christianity #ExpositoryPreachingService from Rise Church in Dyer, IndianaSermon preached by Pastor Josh Benner

    Ep. 38 The Sign - Genesis 17 - 10/18/26

    In Genesis 17, God reaffirms his covenant with Abraham, promising to make him the father of many nations and to bless the world through his offspring. After years of waiting, Abraham might have thought he understood how God's promises would unfold. But God had a plan far greater than Abraham could have imagined.In this message from our series The Promise: The Story of Abraham, we explore three questions from Genesis 17: Who are we? Why are we here? And who's in control? Discover how God's grace shapes our identity, how his covenant promises reveal his mission to bless the nations, and how his sovereign plans unfold even when life takes unexpected turns.Ultimately, Genesis 17 points us to the faithfulness of God, who accomplishes his purposes in his own way and in his own time, and to Jesus Christ, through whom God's blessing reaches the world.Sermon from Rise Church in Dyer, Indiana Message preached by Pastor Josh Benner Link to full service: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8kEO8fL1NK4

    Ep. 37 The Affliction - Genesis 16 - 10/11/26

    People are complicated. Even when we want something good, our pursuit of it can lead us to make unwise decisions, hurt others, and take matters into our own hands.In **Genesis 16**, Sarai and Abram try to secure God’s promise of a son through their own plans. Their decisions create conflict and suffering, and Hagar—the Egyptian servant caught in the middle—is mistreated and driven into the wilderness. But there, Hagar encounters the God who sees her.This passage challenges us to consider how we make decisions, whether our goals are taking priority over obedience to God, and how easily we can treat people as obstacles or means to an end. It also reminds us that no one is invisible to God. He sees the brokenhearted, cares for those the world overlooks, and remains at work even when he seems silent.**In this sermon on Genesis 16, we explore three people and three lessons:**- **Sarai:** The danger of taking God’s promises into our own hands.- **Abram:** The failure to lead faithfully when courage and responsibility are needed.- **Hagar:** The comfort of knowing that we are seen and cared for by God.How can we pursue good things without compromising what is right? How do we choose grace over self-righteousness, and reconciliation over simply winning? Genesis 16 reminds us to begin with what honors God and loves our neighbor—not merely with what we want to accomplish.Sermon from Rise Church in Dyer, Indiana. Message preached by Pastor Josh Benner.

    Ep. 36 The Covenannt - Genesis 15 - 10/04/26

    Can we trust God when his promises seem impossible—and the waiting stretches on? In “The Covenant,” Pastor Josh Benner explores Genesis 15, where God reassures Abram, promises descendants as numerous as the stars, and confirms his covenant through a remarkable ceremony.Part 4 of The Promise: The Story of Abraham traces how God makes his promise, confirms his promise, and fulfills his promise in Jesus Christ. Discover why Abraham’s faith matters today, how salvation has always been by grace through faith, and why we can trust God through suffering, uncertainty, and years of waiting.#Genesis15 #Abraham #GodsPromises #Faith #Covenant #JesusChrist #ExpositoryPreaching #RiseChurchSermon from Rise Church in Dyer, IndianaMessaged preached by Pastor Josh Benner Link to full service: ht tps://studio.youtube.com/video/3SIQMYY5ApA/edit?c=UC13P88u545VUgKmTkDC7WUg

    Ep. 35 The Priesthood - Genesis 14 - 9/27/26

    What does a mysterious priest in Genesis 14 have to do with Jesus?When Lot is captured in a war between kings, Abram sets out to rescue him. On his return, he meets Melchizedek, the king of Salem and priest of God Most High. The encounter lasts only a few verses, but the Bible returns to Melchizedek in Psalm 110 and Hebrews to reveal something remarkable about Christ.In this sermon from *The Promise: The Story of Abraham*, we trace that thread through Scripture and see why Jesus is the king who reigns and the priest who offered himself once for all. Because he lives forever, we can draw near to God through him.**Scripture:** Genesis 14; Psalm 110; Hebrews 7 and 10#Melchizedek #Abraham #priest #promise #expositorypreaching #preaching Sermon from Rise Church in Dyer, IndianaMessage preached by Pastor Josh BennerLink to Full Service : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pzvx76fZjYs

    Ep. 34 The Choice - Genesis 13

    How do we know if we’re following God’s will—or simply convincing ourselves that God wants what we already want?In Genesis 13, Abram and Lot face a choice. Lot looks at the land before him and chooses what appears to be the better option. Abram takes a different approach: he holds the outcome with an open hand and trusts God to remain faithful to His promises.In this sermon from Genesis 13, Pastor Josh Benner explores the contrast between Abram and Lot and what their choices teach us about faith, discernment, humility, and trusting God with an uncertain future.Sometimes the attractive choice isn’t the wise choice. And following God doesn’t mean we have to perfectly decipher His plan for every decision. The life of faith is not about securing the future we want, but trusting the God who already holds our future.📖 Scripture: Genesis 13📚 Series: The Promise: The Story of Abraham⛪ Rise Church | Dyer, Indiana#Genesis13 #Abraham #ChristianSermon #Faith #Discernment #GodsWill #TrustingGod #BibleTeaching Message from Rise Church in Dyer, Indiana Sermon preached by Pastor Josh Benner

    Ep. 33 The Call - Genesis 11:10-12:20

    Sunday service from Rise Church in Dyer, Indiana - 9/13/2026What can we learn from Abraham about trusting God when life doesn’t go according to plan?In Genesis 11:10–12:20, God calls Abraham to leave everything familiar behind and go to a land God promises to show him. Abraham responds in faith—but almost immediately, his faith is tested by famine, fear, and uncertainty. In this sermon, Pastor Josh explores the call of Abraham, God’s promises to Abraham and Sarah, Abraham’s journey into the Promised Land, and his failure in Egypt. Abraham’s story reminds us that genuine faith does not mean perfect faith. Through Abraham’s successes and failures, God remains faithful to his promises. This is Part 1, “The Call,” in The Promise: The Story of Abraham, a sermon series through Genesis 12–23.📖 Scripture: Genesis 11:10–12:20#Abraham #Genesis12 #BibleSermon #ChristianSermon #Faith #bibleteaching Sermon from Rise Church in Dyer, IndianaMessage preached by Josh BennerLink to full service video: https://youtube.com/live/81pWNa6GEj0
