Like a sailor on turbulent seas, we need to look up and see the North Star: the fixed points in the sky whereby we might navigate the objective realities in life. We need the skill-set to know how to journey through life and how to select the right people to journey alongside. In this book we will chart a course through the four relational phases that the vast majority of human beings on the planet will pass through in their twenties: singleness, dating, engaged and married. In each of these phases, we will look at what eternal purposes should be pursued in each stage, and how to pursue them.
SINGLENESS: DEVOTION
DATING: EVALUATION
ENGAGED: UNIFICATION
MARRIED: MISSION

I have no idea how I found this church on KZbin but my life has been blessed with Pastor Ben's sermons! I love the way he teaches and preaches because his story-telling and examples are engaging and attention-grabbing. Most importantly he brings the word of God in a way I can understand it! He provides context for everything and I really appreciate that because even if I find that I already knew that information, other people there or watching might not. I don't know you Pastor Ben, but I am so thankful that God uses you to communicate the word so crystal clear and comprehensible. My favorite sermons have been the ones about marriage, singleness and dating. I recently went through a break-up, but these sermons have given me inspiration to not remain still, but to be productive during this season of singleness. I am a witness that God is using your ministry to touch lives and allow room for the Holy Spirit to shape our character. God bless you and yours!

I was thinking the exact same thing! The Lord has definitely been speaking through Pastor Ben into my life. His sermons have aided me in staying focused on the Lord.

@@carolyneperez2134 you're welcome. Just make sure you get the intouch ministries versions of Charles Stanley. There's other people posting his stuff for ad dollars, so there's ads and the messages arent as long etc

I really needed to hear this.

Wow. "I believe God wants everyone to know Him. So He will give you whatever He needs to give you and He will take from you whatever He must take from you, because He wants your attention." Dang. Ben truly has a gift. Thank you.

[@jannebailey4016]

Amen … “God wants everyone to get to know Him. So He will give you whatever He needs to give you, and He will take from you whatever He must take from you, to get your attention, because He wants you.”

[@ShimmeryNight]

I can't explain in depth as to how much I needed this today. I was folding laundry and listening to this and it made me just stop in the middle and cry out to the Lord and let him know that I needed him so much so that I consider myself a helpless infant who needs him to guide me and my footsteps in this journey through life with him. It was so relieving and comforting to say the least. It made my heart rejoice and my ego move to the side... Because my focus is on Jesus... And to him, I owe my life. I'm forever grateful. God Pay you Pastor Ben for this Sermon ... You have no idea how this impacted my life. I appreciate you and your family and the church you are serving. God Bless you.

All I can say is "wow" as well! Thanks! From Toronto, Canada :)

[@laura___elise116]

this is so good. it's hard to find a pastor that truly involves lots scripture into his sermons.

[@Chia13579]

Thank you so much for this❤ I’ve been struggling with sleep issues and many other strange symptoms for a year now with no known reason and I have asked God so many times to heal my body. I get a little hopeless sometimes because of these issues. I’ve been to doctors and taken blood tests and am still trying to figure out what is going on. I don’t understand why He has allowed this and I needed this sermon to remind me I don’t see the whole picture yet. I just pray that one day I will be able to look back on this season and see His hand❤ I know He hears my prayers

[@LadyLikeBabyKay]

Maaan that's a word. I'm gonna have to listen to it at least 5 times before this really marinates
