Good Friday Service | Easter 2024

Take time to reflect and remember Jesus’ sacrifice for the sins of this world so we can have eternal life with him during a special 30-minute online experience. Darkness covered the entire land in the middle of the day. Hanging on the cross, Jesus called out with a loud voice, “Father into your hands I commit my spirit.” When Jesus said this, he took his final breath.

    Religion called and said: "We lied about what sin was so you would behave and be good people; we were just kidding!" - Sin is the denile that all things are god. The Christ wihin us all is rising. Truth is upon us! I am Free! I am Free! I am Free!

    What he saying is 100% true. The hardest thing to do in life is to learn yourself and learn how to control yourself. I have personally been going to Mountain for a year and a half, loving Jesus, and caring about other people has changed me so much. Thank you Ben.

    We cant excel when we put our faith and trust in anything outside of Christ because of our sinful nature. The Bible states the wisdom of man is folly to God and that our hearts are deceptively wicked. Great message sir.

    *STOP PRACTICING MENTAL HEALTH WITHOUT A LICENSE.* There's a reason why clinicians spend years and thousands of dollars to learn their field. They serve supervised internships. They take rigorous exams and are overseen by professional boards in their practice. They are required to take continuing education to stay up on the latest developments. Why? Because it's a dangerous game to play with people's mental well-being. It's not for some hocum to throw passages from an Iron Age book at. Stay in your lane.

      Good point 🤣 The water is actually part of a larger illustration about raising kids - Each marble in the jar represents a week of their life and the water symbolizes how a life lived in faith surrounds them with Jesus. You can checkout the full sermon for more context.

    5 And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward. 6 But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly. 7 But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking. 8 Be not ye therefore like unto them: for your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask him. Matthew 6:5-8

    Used to got to church with you guys. Ben is amazing. My first time there you guys were asking for shoes donations for I believe it was India. Either or. I actually wore my favorite shoes and when ben asked to donate the shoes we had. I knew I had to. I was glad. God Bless you Ben. You've made an impact in my life. My wife was angry with God for this that happened in her past. I have ease her into this. We went there a while back and she loved it. Unfortunately, we live an hour and a half an I work nights and get off at 7. When my schedule allows, we will definitely be coming down regularly. Lord knows I need to come back. Thank you!!

    The bible is ALLEGORY/ALLEGORICAL. The bible is NOT A HISTORY BOOK. The bible is NOT LITERAL NOT FACT. The New Testament is a work of propaganda cobbled together by various propagandists for the Christian cult and is ENTIRELY based upon HEARSAY written many, many years AFTER Jesus supposed death. Nothing more and nothing less! But if you really want to join the Christian cult be by guest! If you truly want to live an ethical and moral life with or without the presence of the Divine as your spiritual partner there are many, many ways of so doing. A good start would be to start asking some serious questions and not believing every damn thing that comes spewing out of the mouth of fundamentalist nutcases like DB. To my way of thinking DB's PRESCRIPTIVE CELIBACY FORMULA FOR GAY MEN'S LIVES RAISES A LOT OF RELIGIOUS NARCISSISM RED FLAGS! Religious Dogma is a terrible form of psychological mind enslavement/imprisonment. Do you really want to live out your probably rather miserable and wretched life on account of listening too closely and taking to heart too seriously the words of someone who is at best is a FUNDAMENTALIST IDEOLOGUE or at worst a DELUSIONAL RELIGIOUS NARCISSIST!? BEWARE DB AND HIS CULT AND HIS AGENDA! ASK QUESTIONS! BELIEVE NOTHING SIMPLY BECAUSE SOMEONE SIMPLY SAYS IT IS SO! THINK CRITICALLY!
