Disappointments, persecution, rejection, monotony, change - all these things can take us from God.  In these messages, learn how to let tough times push you closer to God and to your destiny.

                                                                                                                              Sometimes we expect something to be refreshing and positive, but it is just disappointing and bitter.  How do we cope when life serves us lemons?  The answer is not make lemonade, but rather let God transform the lemons into something sweet and refreshing as He reveals His truth about His nature to you.  In this funny and powerful message, Benjamin will show you how to deal with disappointment.

                                                                                                                              When God wants you in His land of more than enough you have to leave the old comforts behind to experience God's best.  In this highly personal account of how Benjamin had to leave the safe and the comforting meeting place of his house to lead the church to Harmony House, Ben shares how God showed Him to accept the largeness of what Jesus is going to do, and the revelation that turned him from hesitant to on fire for God's will.
