We make thousands of decisions every day, but some choices are more than daily routines—they shape our character, our calling, and even our eternity.

In this powerful message from 1 Kings 3, Ernest Benjamin walks us through Solomon’s bold request for wisdom and explores how discerning between good and evil is not just a biblical virtue—it is a spiritual necessity in a culture that often confuses the two.

This episode will challenge you to ask yourself: Are you choosing what is right or simply what is accepted?

If you have ever felt the tension between biblical convictions and cultural compromise, this message will help you stand firm with truth and grace.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

✅ Why decisions determine direction—and ultimately your destiny

✅ What Solomon’s prayer teaches us about leadership and wisdom

✅ How moral relativism erodes discernment and conviction

✅ Why calling good “evil” and evil “good” is more than confusion—it’s spiritual danger

✅ How to stay rooted in truth when sin is no longer hidden but celebrated

🎧 Whether you're walking the dog, commuting to work, or studying scripture at home, press play and rediscover the clarity and courage you need to choose God's way—especially when the world says otherwise.

Have you ever told yourself, “I’ll get serious about God… just not right now”?

Maybe you’ve felt the conviction. You’ve heard the call. But life is busy. Things are complicated. And somewhere in the back of your mind, you’re waiting for a more convenient season.

In this episode of Sunday Renewal, we open Acts 24 and meet Felix—a man who stood face to face with truth, but delayed obedience.

He wanted salvation without surrender. He was interested, but not invested.

And the window of grace eventually closed.

This isn’t just his story.

It’s ours too.

Because delayed obedience is still disobedience, and the time to respond is never “someday.”

It’s now.

If you’ve ever found yourself postponing the very thing God is asking of you, this message will challenge you to stop waiting and start moving.

Your destiny doesn’t start in a more convenient season. It begins in surrendered obedience.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

✅ Why “someday” is one of the enemy’s most effective lies
✅ How the pursuit of convenience can cost you your calling
✅ The danger of conviction that never turns into action
✅ How to respond when God calls—and you feel unready

We’re kicking off our Sunday Renewal Summer Series—a handpicked collection of some of the most powerful, fruit-bearing sermons Ernest Benjamin has preached over the years.

These messages spoke to real life, met people where they were, and provided practical applications.

Each week, we’re revisiting one of these unforgettable sermons to be reminded, refreshed, and re-centered in God’s truth.

This week’s message is “Save Our Boys”—a bold, biblical call to raise up godly men in a culture that often confuses masculinity with either aggression or passivity.

Preaching from 1 Kings 2, where David gives his final words to his son Solomon, Ernest unpacks the weight and clarity of a father’s charge: “Be strong, and prove yourself a man.”

This sermon challenges us to see manhood not as a cultural stereotype but as a spiritual responsibility—one that requires courage, conviction, and consistency.

It speaks to the role of fathers, families, and the church in raising up the next generation of men who fear God and walk in His ways.

You’ll hear about:

• Why raising godly sons takes more than good intentions
• The dangers of distorted masculinity
• What it means to walk in strength and obedience
• How the example we live becomes the legacy we leave

Whether you’re a parent, a mentor, or simply someone invested in the future of the church and the next generation, this message is one to hear—and hear again.
