Expounding the Word

Edification and Understanding Part 2

Tue, 23 Jun 2026 10:00:00 +0000

We live in a world where people have different opinions- basketball or football, hamburgers or hot dogs, and many other preferences. But even among believers in Christ, there can sometimes be division over spiritual matters, including the use of spiritual gifts like speaking in tongues. But today, Pastor Chris reminds us that in private worship, believers are free to use the gifts God has given them. However, in public worship, everything should be done in a way that builds up the body of Christ and points others to Jesus.

Edification and Understanding Part 1

Mon, 22 Jun 2026 10:00:00 +0000

Sometimes, as we serve God in this life, we do it on our terms. We go about it our way and really only serve when it’s convenient for ourselves. But in today’s message, Pastor Chris wants us to know that serving God isn’t about self; it’s about God’s people. We shouldn’t serve God on our terms but with the mindset of serving His people for God’s glory, even if it means changing the way we want to serve or using different spiritual gifts. We must serve God in a way that benefits His flock, not just the one sheep.

Love Never Fails Part 2

Fri, 19 Jun 2026 10:00:00 +0000

In this life, we spend our days making decisions. We choose what we eat, how we provide for our families, and even what kind of future we want to build. But there is one thing that matters above all others: do you know what Jesus has done for your life? Jesus, the Son of God, came to this earth, lived a sinless and blameless life, died for our sins, and rose again after conquering the grave… all because He loves you. So today, Pastor Chris urges you to make the only decision that matters: choose Jesus Christ.

Love Never Fails Part 1

Thu, 18 Jun 2026 10:00:00 +0000

Isn’t it amazing to know that there will be a day with no more sorrow, pain, or suffering… a day when every hardship will come to an end forever? And there is only one who has promised to make that a reality: Jesus Christ - and His return is closer than you think. In today’s message, Pastor Chris encourages you to give your life to Jesus so that when He returns and fulfills His promises, you will be with Him. So don’t wait another moment, choose to follow Jesus Christ and place your hope in Him today.

Love, Part 1 Part 2

Wed, 17 Jun 2026 10:00:00 +0000

An atomic bomb is designed to cause massive destruction in a minimum amount of time—wiping out everything in its path and leaving lasting damage behind. In today’s message, Pastor Chris uses that image to show you what love is not. Love doesn’t explode in anger or tear people down in a moment. It doesn’t leave destruction in its wake. Instead, real love is steady, controlled, and life-giving. It builds up others rather than destroys, even when emotions run high.

Love, Part 1 Part 1

Tue, 16 Jun 2026 10:00:00 +0000

The word “love” gets used for just about everything. You can love cheeseburgers, your favorite socks, your dog, and your mom. But when a word gets stretched that far, it starts to lose its meaning. In today’s message, Pastor Chris points you back to what love really is. In Scripture, love isn’t casual or self-focused—it’s intentional, sacrificial, and giving without expecting anything in return. It’s not just a feeling; it’s a way of living that stands in sharp contrast to the world around us.

Gifts of the Spirit Part 2

Mon, 15 Jun 2026 10:00:00 +0000

“Lost in translation” is a phrase for a reason. When something is translated, meaning can shift, and sometimes important details get lost. Today, Pastor Chris explains the difference between translations—some stay closer to the original language, while others aim for clarity and flow. And those choices shape how we understand Scripture. He even offers a few helpful recommendations. Because when it comes to God’s Word, which translation you read matters.

Gifts of the Spirit Part 1

Fri, 12 Jun 2026 10:00:00 +0000

On social media, it’s all about who you follow and who follows you. Numbers matter. The more connections, the better. But following Jesus isn’t just about staying connected—it comes with a purpose. In today’s message, Pastor Chris reminds you that if you’re a follower of Jesus, you’re also sent. You follow the One who was sent, and now you’re sent in the same way. And that mission is simple, but powerful: to share with others who He is and what He’s done. What an amazing mission to follow!

The Body of Christ Part 2

Thu, 11 Jun 2026 10:00:00 +0000

Sadly, you’ll find some churches where this isn’t practiced very well. You’ll see a burned-out pastor who’s expected to meet every need and fill nearly every role at some point or another. In others, you’ll find a small group of people who seem to drive all the programs and activities, and it can be hard to break into that circle. As Pastor Chris will remind us in today’s message, we’re meant to depend on Jesus and each other. As the body of Christ, each one of us should be valued in the role we serve in.

The Body of Christ Part 1

Wed, 10 Jun 2026 10:00:00 +0000

The Church of Jesus Christ is possibly the most diverse group of people on the face of this planet. Sure, if you walk into an individual church on any Sunday morning, the diversity may not be immediately apparent. But, as a whole, the Church contains people from all walks of life, nationalities, ethnicities, and economic statuses. The world likes to paint it as being an exclusive group, but as Pastor Chris will explain in today’s message, all are indeed welcome because of Jesus.

Manifestations of the Spirit Part 6

Tue, 09 Jun 2026 10:00:00 +0000

Speaking in tongues is a mysterious thing, and it’s been the basis for many conflicts in the Church. Churches have split, and entire denominations have been born out of this controversy. That’s the exact opposite of what God intended for this spiritual ability. As Pastor Chris will remind us in today’s message, the gifts God gives us should only be used to unite His people and bring glory to Him. If we’re using the gifts in a way that contradicts those purposes, we’re misusing them.

Manifestations of the Spirit Part 5

Mon, 08 Jun 2026 10:00:00 +0000

Good intentions are not enough by themselves. As Pastor Chris will point out in today’s message, we saw this demonstrated in Peter. Peter loved Jesus, and he believed in His cause. But he didn’t fully understand what Jesus came to do. As the cross came onto the horizon, Peter struggled to accept that it could be God’s will. He directly argued with Jesus about it and stood up to fight in the garden when Jesus was arrested. He meant well, but his actions directly contradicted God’s will.

Manifestations of the Spirit Part 4

Fri, 05 Jun 2026 10:00:00 +0000

What’s your immediate reaction to a story like that? Maybe you have more faith than I, but I tend to be skeptical. My initial thought is that I’d like proof. The story may or may not be real, but do I believe it could be true? Do you believe it’s possible that God could or would have done that kind of miracle? As Pastor Chris will challenge us in today’s message, if we believe God’s Word is true and that He’s all-powerful, making a tornado miraculously jump over someone’s house is easy for Him.

Manifestations of the Spirit Part 3

Thu, 04 Jun 2026 10:00:00 +0000

Wouldn’t it be nice if all we had to do was say a specific phrase and God would heal us from sickness or meet whatever need we’re facing? Where would we place our faith? If all that mattered was saying the correct words, those words would become the source of power. As Pastor Chris continues our study in the book of 1st Corinthians, he’ll explain why God isn’t held to a certain formula or pattern in answering our prayers. He wants our faith to be in Him, not in our own actions or words.

Manifestations of the Spirit Part 2

Wed, 03 Jun 2026 10:00:00 +0000

Have you ever experienced that? Whether you were the one sharing or the one receiving a word of knowledge, it’s a beautiful moment. It’s a reminder that our God is all-knowing, and He loves to use us to demonstrate that trait. As Pastor Chris will challenge us in today’s message, when we feel pressed by the Holy Spirit to share something with someone, we should step into it with bold humility. Even if you don’t understand why or how, God can speak through you in that moment.

Manifestations of the Spirit Part 1

Tue, 02 Jun 2026 10:00:00 +0000

Wisdom can come through experiencing a trial and coming out on the other side with a better understanding of that struggle. It can also come through studying God’s Word or the experience of your fellow believers, bringing understanding without the personal hardship. As Pastor Chris will point out in today’s message, wisdom can also be given miraculously. We saw this with Solomon, as God gave Him wisdom in an instant, and God can provide supernatural wisdom to all of us when we ask in faith.

The Grace Gifts Part 2

Mon, 01 Jun 2026 10:00:00 +0000

When a sports team spirals, it usually starts with their coach and how much they care. Coaches get fired when they lose their locker room’s trust and can’t get their players to listen to them. In today’s message, Pastor Chris says if you’re a leader, you must lead with integrity and steward the gift God’s given you. People must know that you believe in them and that you care. If this is your gifting, don’t take it lightly! God’s extremely intentional in the giftings He gives! You’re handpicked by God!

The Grace Gifts Part 1

Fri, 29 May 2026 10:00:00 +0000

Have you ever talked to someone, and they advised you on something you didn’t ask for advice on? It always feels the worst when people share their thoughts, and you don’t agree with what they’re sharing! Today, Pastor Chris says when you give advice, you must make sure that it’s scripture-based. The Bible says that all scripture is good for training, rebuking, correcting, and training in righteousness. Check for yourself! You must use scripture as your guide to life and to lead others closer to Jesus!

Right Thinking About The Grace Gifts Part 2

Thu, 28 May 2026 10:00:00 +0000

In high school, I had a teacher who was able to take complex things about anatomy and make them simple so I could understand them better. She was one of the best teachers I had! In today’s message, Pastor Chris says you know you have the gift of teaching if you can do just that! Have you been able to take a complex idea and make it understandable to someone? If so, you may be gifted in teaching! You must steward it well by reading and allowing God to teach you more so you can be well-equipped!

Right Thinking About The Grace Gifts Part 1

Wed, 27 May 2026 10:00:00 +0000

When I was younger, I was a bad kid and got in trouble often. My parents would take away the toys and privileges they gave me to teach me a lesson. In today’s message, Pastor Chris says God chose your gifting and was intentional in it. The difference between God and my parents is that God doesn’t take away his gift to you! You were chosen by Him to serve in ways that only you can. Live with confidence knowing that what you’re gifted in is only because of God and that He has you exactly where He wants you.

Intro to Gifts of the Spirit Part 2

Tue, 26 May 2026 10:00:00 +0000

Jesus has called everyone to ministry, even if it’s not vocational! You may be called to be the best evangelizer at your office, or maybe it’s to random people on the street! But God’s called everyone to honor Him however they can! In today’s message, Pastor Chris says you must ask God where He’s gifted you! Allow Him to speak into your life so you can know exactly where you’re best suited. Be a light for Jesus and show everyone around you just how much you love Him by how you love them.

Intro to Gifts of the Spirit Part 1

Mon, 25 May 2026 10:00:00 +0000

It would be weird if someone gave us a gift and we just chose to ignore it. Yet, we do that all the time to God! In today’s message, Pastor Chris says we must not forget the gifts that God has given us! He’s made you unique and given you unique giftings! In this journey of life, you’ll find out what your best fit is by testing the waters and seeing where you feel the most comfortable. The key step to affirming your giftings is to ask God if it’s where He wants you to be. He’ll reveal to you where you’re best fit!

Communion in the Church Part 2

Fri, 22 May 2026 10:00:00 +0000

Knowing ourselves is one of the hardest things to do. We don’t like to do self-reflection because it can bring out some things we don’t want to think about. In today’s message, Pastor Chris says when you go to communion, you must do self-introspection, but not on your own. You must ask God to reveal to you the places in which you’re not honoring Him. One of the best ways to be more like Jesus is to simply ask God to lead you to be! He loves you and wants to do anything to help you be closer to Him.

Communion in the Church Part 1

Thu, 21 May 2026 10:00:00 +0000

When a group of people watches sports together, we would say the statement “there’s a group of people watching the game.” Even if it’s 3 or 4 people, we would still call them a group! In today’s message, Pastor Chris reminds us that no matter how many people are gathered, if they’re worshipping the Lord, they’re the church. See, the church isn’t a building, it’s a people. Even if your church is only 10 people and not in a building, but on a lawn, it’s still a church! All that’s required is the worship of God!

Gender Roles and Functions Part 2

Wed, 20 May 2026 10:00:00 +0000

God’s not alone in heaven. We often think of God, Jesus, and the Spirit—but Scripture points to something more: a vast host of angels. Present before creation, they’ve been watching what God has been doing from the very beginning. And they’re still watching. In today’s message, Pastor Chris invites you to consider this often-overlooked reality—and what it means for how you live right now. Because even when you’re not aware of it, you’re part of a much bigger unfolding story.

Gender Roles and Functions Part 1

Tue, 19 May 2026 10:00:00 +0000

When we think about authority, most of us recognize it right away—bosses, laws, people in charge. But there’s another kind of authority too, the kind that comes from trust, wisdom, and relationship. We all live under both, whether we realize it or not. Today, Pastor Chris invites you to look deeper at what authority really means and who truly holds it. Because no matter what authority shapes your life right now, Jesus is the one with all authority. The real question is—do you recognize it?

All to the Glory of God Part 2

Mon, 18 May 2026 10:00:00 +0000

The compass was truly a revolutionary invention. Before its use, seafarers had to use landmarks and celestial bodies to direct them on the waters. But with a compass, navigation became far more accurate, regardless of weather conditions, time of day, or visibility. Today, Pastor Chris uses the compass as a simile to describe what your life should be like as a Christian. Just like a compass, your life ought to be pointing to true north, directing people to the One True God.

All to the Glory of God Part 1

Fri, 15 May 2026 10:00:00 +0000

Have you ever made a ceramic pot? There are so many ways to shape clay—building it by hand, stacking coils, or using a pottery wheel. Once that clay is fired in a kiln, it becomes as hard as a rock and is then ready for various uses. Today, Pastor Chris shares a powerful truth: if you’re a Christian, you are a ceramic pot. God’s glory dwells right inside of you, and He has specific purposes for your life. You are a vessel designed by the Master Potter for something great, no matter what kind of pot you are.

Have You Pledged Allegiance? Part 2

Thu, 14 May 2026 10:00:00 +0000

Today, Pastor Chris speaks about a topic often misunderstood in the Scriptures: demons. He explains that they are evil. They are sometimes the driving force behind what may seem neutral, so you must be on guard. If there’s something you know you ought to avoid, you'd better do it. Evil is out to destroy and devour you, and it will use any means possible because you’re an image of God. But the good news is that, if you’ve pledged allegiance to Jesus, then the One inside you is stronger than the one in the world.

Have You Pledged Allegiance? Part 1

Wed, 13 May 2026 10:00:00 +0000

When we think of "worshipping other things," we often imagine ancient statues or golden calves, but modern-day "idolatry" is usually much more subtle. It’s anything that takes the primary place in your heart—the thing you rely on for your identity, security, or happiness instead of God. It’s what you think you can’t live without or what you think of first thing when you wake up. Today, Pastor Chris challenges you to check the altar of your heart. Are you offering sacrifices to anything other than the One True God?

Blessings and Failures for Today Part 2

Tue, 12 May 2026 10:00:00 +0000

Have you ever heard someone talking loudly on a speaker phone at the grocery store? You wonder why that person thinks they’re entitled to share their conversation with strangers! Entitlement means you think you’re owed something, that you inherently deserve privileges or special treatment regardless of the circumstances. Today, Pastor Chris reminds you that as a Christian, there’s no entitlement. You’re owed nothing, but Jesus wants to give you everything.

Blessings and Failures for Today Part 1

Mon, 11 May 2026 10:00:00 +0000

We’ve all been there—taking the "shortcut" that ends up taking twice as long because we didn't just do it right the first time. Doing something halfway often creates a false sense of progress while leaving a mess for our future self to clean up. Today, Pastor Christ tells you that Jesus didn’t take a shortcut. It’s not like He was tortured a little, and then partly died and partly rose again. He was stripped, beaten, and fully died and fully resurrected. Are you taking shortcuts in your faith, or are you all in?

Realities on Sharing the Gospel Part 2

Fri, 08 May 2026 10:00:00 +0000

The war between will and weakness constantly rolls through our heads. We desire, and are even willing to do things, but we just don’t do them. It could be going to the gym, or reading consistently, eating healthy, or spending time with God. We let our procrastination get in the way of our willingness to accomplish things in our lives. Today, Pastor Chris will show you that willingness isn’t enough; it takes discipline to not let your weakness take over and keep you from doing what you are willing to do.

Realities on Sharing the Gospel Part 1

Thu, 07 May 2026 10:00:00 +0000

How often do you use your creative bone nowadays? With the busyness of the world, you sometimes lose that creative spirit. The more you go with the motions of everyday life, the less creative you become. What if I told you that doesn’t have to be the reality, and YOU could be creative every day!? In today’s message, Pastor Chris shares that the message of the Gospel remains the same, but how YOU share it with others gives you the opportunity to think of new ways to stretch that creative muscle.

Money and Ministry Workers Part 2

Wed, 06 May 2026 10:00:00 +0000

When we do something “good”, we tend to expect some type of reward. It could be a simple “thank you” for holding the door open for someone, finding a lost wallet and returning it, or even helping someone in need. When we think of doing good, we subconsciously want a reward, but are you willing to do the right thing and get nothing in return? In today’s message, Pastor Chris shows you, through Paul’s example, that material things are worthless compared to the reward you have in a relationship with Jesus.

Money and Ministry Workers Part 1

Tue, 05 May 2026 10:00:00 +0000

Have you ever had a calling you were drawn to, but stopped pursuing? Could it be because you were nervous about the backlash you would receive? Could it be because someone talked you out of it, or because you were worried about failing? The heckling from yourself or others is just a distraction to keep you from being obedient to the call that God has placed on your heart. Today, Pastor Chris sheds light on these distractions and points you to listen and follow the call that God places in your life.

No Legalism but Love Part 2

Mon, 04 May 2026 10:00:00 +0000

Have you ever gotten into a heated argument over something small, only to realize later it really didn’t matter? Maybe it was the thermostat, what movie to watch, or where to eat. Today, Pastor Chris reminds you that those kinds of things aren’t worth the conflict—especially with a fellow believer. Not every disagreement needs to become a battle. Sometimes the wiser, stronger choice is to let it go, choose peace, and protect the relationship instead of proving a point.

No Legalism, but Love Part 1

Fri, 01 May 2026 10:00:00 +0000

Balancing on one leg isn’t easy. After a few seconds, your muscles start to shake and strain under the pressure. But with practice, you build strength and stability, learning to endure the tension. Today, Pastor Chris reminds you that living as a Christian in a broken, dark world is also a balance. You can grow stronger and steadier over time, but that doesn’t mean it will ever feel easy. Faithfulness requires endurance, even when your life feels unsteady.

Perspectives on Relationships Part 2

Thu, 30 Apr 2026 10:00:00 +0000

We all wear many hats—spouse, parent, colleague, friend—and it’s easy to let those roles define who we are. They shift constantly depending on where we are and who we’re with. But today, Pastor Chris reminds you that if you’re a Christian, one identity rises above them all. You are a beloved member of God’s family. That truth isn’t temporary or situational—it’s foundational. The real question is: is that the identity that you’re defining yourself with?

Perspectives on Relationships Part 1

Wed, 29 Apr 2026 10:00:00 +0000

“If only…(sigh).” It’s easy to get stuck in wishful thinking, longing for different circumstances. But as the saying goes, if ifs and buts were fruits and nuts, every day would be a Merry Christmas. Today, Pastor Chris reminds you that while you may not be able to change your life situation, you can choose your attitude. And that attitude is simple: wherever you are, as a Christian, you are called to serve the Lord right there. No matter what’s going on in your life, you’re free to serve Him.

A Godly View of Relationships Part 2

Tue, 28 Apr 2026 10:00:00 +0000

We live in a throwaway culture. When something breaks, we toss it in the garbage and buy a new one. But today, Pastor Chris reminds you that God doesn’t treat people that way. You may carry wounds from the past, hidden struggles, or painful memories, but that doesn’t make you damaged goods. To God, you’re not disposable. He sees you, loves you, and can heal what is broken in your life. And one day, through His power, you will be made completely whole.

A Godly View of Relationships Part 1

Mon, 27 Apr 2026 10:00:00 +0000

If you slow down for a moment, you’ll notice the many good things God places in your life—the warmth of the sun, a quiet moment of beauty in a budding flower, the blessings of work, family, and healthy relationships. But today, Pastor Chris offers a grave reminder: there is also unseen evil that wants to destroy those gifts God gives you. Don’t ignore the danger. Remember who God has made you and the good things He intends for you, and keep your focus on Him.

It’s Not Your Body Anymore Part 2

Fri, 24 Apr 2026 10:00:00 +0000

Usually, going to extremes doesn’t end well. Ignoring all your homework and then pulling an all-nighter rarely works. Living on junk food and then trying to cut it out overnight often leads to splurging later. But today, Pastor Chris says there’s one area where radical action is necessary—sin. Instead of tolerating it or managing it, you must deal with it decisively. If something is causing you to stumble, cut it out of your life. Are you willing to take that kind of drastic step?

It’s Not Your Body Anymore Part 1

Thu, 23 Apr 2026 10:00:00 +0000

Today, Pastor Chris reminds you that as a Christian, you have real freedom in Jesus Christ. You are free to live in His forgiveness and to enjoy the good things God has created. But that freedom also raises an important question: is it helpful? Just because you can do something doesn’t mean you should. Even good things can begin to control you if you’re not careful. So ask yourself—are you enjoying God’s gifts, or are those gifts starting to master you?

Don't Sue Your brother Part 2

Wed, 22 Apr 2026 10:00:00 +0000

In today's message, Pastor Chris explains that when two believers fight their case openly before unbelievers, everyone hears it, and no matter who wins the lawsuit, both have already lost. The real loss is the public shame brought to the name of Christ and the poor witness given to the watching world. Paul calls it an utter failure right from the start. The mere fact that you're airing grievances publicly shows you've already missed the mark. That's not how Jesus taught us to treat one another.

Don't Sue Your brother Part 1

Tue, 21 Apr 2026 10:00:00 +0000

Do you ever feel tempted to take a dispute with another believer straight to public courts or social media instead of handling it privately? In today's message, Pastor Chris explains that Paul was shocked and dismayed when believers dragged their conflicts before unbelievers rather than resolving them among the saints. Doing so creates a poor witness and damages the testimony of Jesus, because it shows the world that Christians can't even love or settle differences with each other, let alone non-believers.

Sexual Immorality Part 2

Mon, 20 Apr 2026 10:00:00 +0000

In today's message, Pastor Chris explains that the call for believers is not to pull away from the world. That approach would actually be harmful because it would keep your light away from those who need it. Jesus Himself prayed for His followers exactly this way: “Father, do not take them out of the world, but keep them in it while protecting them from the evil one.” You are meant to stay right in the middle of the world, living among people who need to see God's love and truth through your life

Sexual Immorality Part 1

Fri, 17 Apr 2026 10:00:00 +0000

In today's message, Pastor Chris explains that love demands action when you see real danger approaching someone vulnerable. Staying silent or doing nothing would not be love at all. You and your church have a responsibility to stay alert and aware of harmful ideas or influences that could enter your life or community and cause serious damage. Bringing or allowing those destructive philosophies to go unchecked is like inviting danger right into a place meant for safety and growth.

Who Made You the Judge? Part 2

Thu, 16 Apr 2026 10:00:00 +0000

Paul’s heart offers a reflection of the heart of Christ for His followers. It’s the heart of a good shepherd and a loving father. Paul, as a representation of Jesus, isn’t a dictator who demands obedience for his own enrichment or empowerment. As Pastor Chris will point out in today’s message, Paul desires for the Corinthians to live in obedience because he loves them. He doesn’t want them to experience the destruction that sin brings.

Who Made You the Judge? Part 1

Wed, 15 Apr 2026 10:00:00 +0000

We’re highly intelligent as humans. It’s a God-given blessing that has enabled endless innovations that have strongly impacted our lives, for good in some cases, but sometimes, not so good. As Pastor Chris will remind us in today’s message, when we come to Christ, we need to submit our intellect to Him. We don’t just throw reason out the window, but we trust that if Christ is leading, we can follow, even when it doesn’t make sense.

Food, Farm, Frame Part 2

Tue, 14 Apr 2026 10:00:00 +0000

What an appropriate image of the Church. If you’ve ever been in an ancient Cathedral, it’s an awe-inspiring experience. Many of these beautiful monuments have stood for centuries, and took decades or, in many cases, centuries to construct. The Church, as a universal collection of believers, has been under construction since the moment that Christ commissioned it two thousand years ago, and each one of us is an important part.

Food, Farm, Frame Part 1

Mon, 13 Apr 2026 10:00:00 +0000

All of us were babies at one point. Apart from Adam and Eve, every single human who’s ever lived went through the same process of growing up. In today’s message, Pastor Chris will remind us that every believer goes through a “baby” stage as well. Sadly, some struggle to leave that phase. At some point, we need someone like Paul – a loving, but firm and direct leader – to point out our complacency and push us to grow in Christ.

The Deep Things of God Part 2

Fri, 10 Apr 2026 10:00:00 +0000

A gift of the New Testament, given to us through the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, is the ability to be in a close relationship with God through the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit, which dwells within us, is our compass. He guides us in our everyday life through both our victories and struggles, pointing us to the right path. Today, Pastor Chris teaches us that as Christians and believers, we all have the Holy Spirit helping us, making known to us the things that God wants to reveal.

The Deep Things of God Part 1

Thu, 09 Apr 2026 10:00:00 +0000

Have you ever sat among the congregation and felt like a spotlight was hitting you the entire time the pastor was preaching? Feeling like every time you looked up, his eyes met yours, and it was clear that he was speaking to you. Completely wrecked on the inside, you leave the church trying to make sense of the whirlwind of emotions overcoming you. Today, Pastor Chris teaches us how God uses man to demonstrate the power of the Holy Spirit and how He works in our hearts.

Fools Gold Part 2

Wed, 08 Apr 2026 10:00:00 +0000

God doesn’t see earthly position and status. He doesn’t care what our background is, how big our house is, what kind of car we drive, or how much money we make. God puts us all even at the foot of the cross. When we put our trust and faith in God, He welcomes us as a son or daughter into His home, and He doesn’t have favorites. Today, Pastor Chris teaches us that fancy words and flashy shows are not necessary to receive and share the gospel- His simple yet powerful message of love.

Fools Gold Part 1

Tue, 07 Apr 2026 10:00:00 +0000

The way that Christians put their faith and trust in something they can’t see may seem foolish and unwise to those who don’t believe the story of the cross. God’s word tells us that “the foolishness of God is wiser than human wisdom and the weakness of God is stronger than human strength”. Today, Pastor Chris teaches us that worldly wisdom and knowledge are not the same as spiritual wisdom and knowledge. Through the Holy Spirit, God gives us the ability to share in His wisdom.

Are you of Christ Part 2

Mon, 06 Apr 2026 10:00:00 +0000

The gift of the new covenant is that of the Holy Spirit dwelling within all who choose to believe, making none of us more spiritual than the other. Too often, we allow our preferences and ideas to cause division among friends, family, and even Churches. In doing this, our pride destroys fellowship. It’s not only silly-it’s sad. Today, Pastor Chris teaches us that Jesus is the only one we are to give all the glory to. Jesus’ sacrifice on the cross is what joins us together and saves us from ourselves.

Are you of Christ Part 1

Fri, 03 Apr 2026 10:00:00 +0000

It’s just like humanity to overthink everything. To let our minds run wild, picking apart our thoughts until we’re so lost that we can’t differentiate between truth and self-sabotage. The enemy loves to work here, whispering lies, affirming our excuses and self-righteousness. One of the enemy’s favorite tactics is to cause division, and he’ll jump at the chance to do just that. Today, Pastor Chris teaches us that when we’re left to ourselves without the Word of God, we tend to think the worst.

To the Church in Corinth Part 2

Thu, 02 Apr 2026 10:00:00 +0000

God has given us everything that we need to live out this messy life with grace and peace through Him. We are not perfect, and no matter how hard we try, we cannot escape the fact that we fall short. How blessed are we to be given such a gift as Jesus Christ, that we may be forgiven in all areas in which we fail. We can’t earn God’s love, and the beautiful part is that we can’t lose it either. Today, Pastor Chris teaches us that no matter how often we stumble and fall, our God is faithful to the end.

To the Church in Corinth Part 1

Wed, 01 Apr 2026 10:00:00 +0000

Light is meant to drive out darkness, not the other way around. As Christians, we are called to be set apart; to let our influence speak Jesus into society. Humans, in their sinful nature, are pulled toward acceptance of those around them. We long for fellowship, all the while forgetting about the perfect fellowship we graciously share with Jesus. Today, Pastor Chris reminds us that we can’t live both set apart and of the world, challenging us to question which we allow to influence us more.

Point them to Jesus Part 2

Tue, 31 Mar 2026 10:00:00 +0000

Having biblical knowledge and understanding of who Christ is is so important to knowing God! It isn’t everything; we can obviously get caught up in just knowledge and forget about the relationship. When we know who God is based on what His Word says, we can begin that relationship and know ourselves better! Knowing God’s Word can be the first step to knowing God! In today’s message, Pastor Chris will encourage you to read your Bible more, in hopes of knowing your creator better!

Point them to Jesus Part 1

Mon, 30 Mar 2026 10:00:00 +0000

The impact that the Word of God can have on your life, and the lives of others, is so far beyond words! In today’s message, Pastor Chris will challenge you with some hard questions and give you some ideas to ponder. If you only had a couple of minutes or a few verses, how would you explain Jesus? Could you properly share the love of Christ using your current biblical knowledge?! I’ll tell you this: more understanding of the Bible will never hurt your chances of sharing God’s love!

Unusual Kindness Part 2

Fri, 27 Mar 2026 10:00:00 +0000

Christianity is about Christ, but it is also about the walk of serving others in Christ's name. That is obviously difficult, because there are difficult people and situations in this world… which is why we NEED Christ all the more!!! In today’s message, Pastor Chris will highlight the blessings of Christianity without sugarcoating the absolute difficulties. Even though it will be hard, it is still vital that you seek the Lord and obey where and who He calls you to selflessly serve!

Unusual Kindness Part 1

Thu, 26 Mar 2026 10:00:00 +0000

Jesus didn’t only perfectly model this, but He commanded us to do the same, and that is to serve! The Bible says Jesus came to serve, and we can clearly see that He did that so well! The Bible also says, we’re to serve, we’re to have a generous servant's heart! In today’s message, Pastor Chris will encourage you to serve someone today! Sacrifice your time, your finances, or even your patience, and serve someone in need! If you look around, you will easily find someone in need of your Christ-like service!

Stormy Seas Battered Boats Part 2

Wed, 25 Mar 2026 10:00:00 +0000

Whether you have a lot of hair or no hair, God knows how many strands you’ve ever had and how many strands you have now! God knows the number of hairs on every single person's head…if He knows such a tiny detail of your physical appearance, think of the intricate details He knows of your heart, your mind, and your soul! In today’s message, Pastor Chris will remind you that you are known! You are known on such an intimate and deep level by your creator, Jesus Christ!

Stormy Seas Battered Boats Part 1

Tue, 24 Mar 2026 10:00:00 +0000

Unfortunately, culture is incredibly influential, and we’re naturally inclined to follow. The important Christian differential is that we’re to follow God, not the world and its ever-changing culture. In today’s message, Pastor Chris will point out that God designed us to be like sheep, to follow our loving shepherd. But like a sheep, you can be easily influenced or deceived; you can follow people, things, or new cultural norms. It’s your duty as a Christian to go against society and go towards the Lord!

Acts 25-26 Part 2

Mon, 23 Mar 2026 10:00:00 +0000

Imagine you're on the Titanic as it's sinking into the ocean. What would have to happen for you to be safe? Would knowing that there is a lifeboat be enough? Would believing that the lifeboat could save you be enough? No! You have to actually get on that lifeboat! Today, Pastor Chris will show you that it's the same with Jesus. You're either on board with Him... or you're not. Praise God that He has provided the perfect lifeboat through the death and resurrection of Jesus, and it has room for everyone!

Acts 25-26 Part 1

Fri, 20 Mar 2026 10:00:00 +0000

Have you ever felt like you were the only person speaking up for the truth? Modern culture tells you to be accepting of all kinds of lifestyles and to let other people pursue “their truth.” The apostle Paul definitely knew what it was like to speak the truth, even when it was unpopular. Today, Pastor Chris will share with you Paul's experience on trial, as he advocated for the gospel when no one else was on his side. Jesus calls you to fight for the truth in every situation, and the great news is that He is always with you.

Paul's Defense to Felix Part 2

Thu, 19 Mar 2026 10:00:00 +0000

If you're a Christian, the Bible is full of wonderful promises that are custom-made just for you! One mind-blowing truth is that the perfect righteousness of Jesus is yours now! Your spiritual bank account went from being trillions of dollars in debt to having enough money to fill the whole universe! Today, if you've been born again, Pastor Chris will encourage you to live more like Jesus. If you haven't made that decision yet, think about it as you listen to this message! Jesus is waiting with open arms, so run to Him!

Paul's Defense to Felix Part 1

Wed, 18 Mar 2026 10:00:00 +0000

It's pretty unusual for you to want to be found guilty, right? You don't want to be guilty of something minor, like choosing to embellish a story. You definitely don't want to be found guilty of something major, like a crime! But there's one thing you should want to be 100% guilty of: belonging to Jesus. Looking at your life, would the people who know you say, “That's definitely a Christian?” Today, Pastor Chris will show you that the most important thing in your life is being guilty of following Jesus.

Paul and the Council Part 2

Tue, 17 Mar 2026 10:00:00 +0000

In today’s message, Pastor Chris describes how God arranged the right person, the right place, and the right message to deliver Paul from danger. God is sovereign over every detail of your life. He has people you have not yet met, circumstances you cannot predict, and protections already in motion that you may never see this side of heaven. Even the small frustrations you face, being late, missing an exit, or hitting an unexpected delay, can be the exact things He uses to shield you from danger.

Paul and the Council Part 1

Mon, 16 Mar 2026 10:00:00 +0000

Today, Pastor Chris explains the clear biblical truth that every single human will die and be resurrected. The Bible teaches that no one escapes this; every soul will rise into an eternal, glorious body. The difference lies not in whether you rise, but in where that resurrected body goes. Jesus Himself said not to marvel at this, because the hour is coming when all who are in the graves will hear His voice and come forth. There are only two options. You know what they are. There’s no third one. So which will it be?

The Testimony of Paul Part 2

Fri, 13 Mar 2026 10:00:00 +0000

Today, Pastor Chris describes the road to Damascus where Jesus confronts Saul with the words, “I am Jesus of Nazareth, whom you are persecuting.” Saul’s immediate response is raw surrender. He doesn’t argue, doesn’t negotiate, doesn’t run. Jesus answers with simple direction: “Go into the city, and I’ll tell you what to do.” No full blueprint, just the next step. That’s the Christian walk you’re called to live: place your faith in Christ, bow to Him as Lord, and ask daily, “Lord, what do you want for me?”

The Testimony of Paul Part 1

Thu, 12 Mar 2026 10:00:00 +0000

Have you ever been put on the spot by someone asking, “Who is God to you?” Today, Pastor Chris challenges you to have an answer ready. Sanctify Christ as Lord in your heart first, then always be prepared to give a clear answer to anyone who asks for the reason behind it. It’s not always about having every answer, but being able to articulate who Jesus is to you personally. Why His death and resurrection changed everything, and why His presence gives you unshakable hope even in chaos.

The Struggle Is Real Part 2

Wed, 11 Mar 2026 10:00:00 +0000

There’s so much we can learn from the Bible, especially in the Book of Acts. But if there’s one thing Pastor Chris wants you to understand, it’s this: God is good, no matter what you face. In this world, you’ll encounter storms from your own actions, spiritual battles from the enemy, and tasks from God that may feel difficult at times. That’s why He gave you His Word, to remind you that you’re never alone, and that God has always been faithful to those who choose Him. Today, place your faith in Christ.

The Struggle Is Real Part 1

Tue, 10 Mar 2026 10:00:00 +0000

When we spend our entire lives in the world, it’s easy to adopt a worldly mindset; in fact, it’s the mindset we’re born into by default. But when we give our lives to Christ, everything begins to change. Our hearts change. Our standing with God changes. And while so much happens immediately, there’s still work to be done. That’s why, in today’s message, Pastor Chris encourages you to adopt a heavenly mindset. Because when the world tells you one thing, the Lord and His Word remain the ultimate authority.

Serious Faith (Never Surrender) Part 2

Mon, 09 Mar 2026 10:00:00 +0000

If you knew that today was your last day on Earth, how would you choose to spend it? Would you revisit your favorite activities one last time, or would you prefer to be with the most important people in your life? Life in this world is not guaranteed, and at any moment, the Lord could call you back home. That’s why Pastor Chris reminds you that a life lived with Jesus is a life well spent. Following Christ is the best thing you could ever do. And when you accept Him into your heart, your eternal life begins right there and then.

Serious Faith (Never Surrender) Part 1

Fri, 06 Mar 2026 10:00:00 +0000

We live in a world where almost anything we want is available at the touch of a button. And in a world driven by materialism, it’s easy to forget that there are things in life beyond our control, things we can’t understand or figure out on our own. That’s why, today, Pastor Chris reminds us that Jesus is real and that trusting in Him means choosing a life of faith. And it’s through that faith that we discover this truth: when we trust in Jesus, He is always with us, through every storm, guiding us every step of the way.

Poke The Bear Part 2

Thu, 05 Mar 2026 10:00:00 +0000

As Christians, we can sometimes forget that there is more God has called us to do. When we’re not gathered in church or caring for our families, we are still called to reach a lost world, sharing the gospel through our lives and taking a stand against the evil we see around us. That’s why, in today’s message, Pastor Chris reminds us that if we’ve grown spiritually sleepy, it’s time to wake up. It’s time to let the world know that we’re here, that there is still time to come to Christ, to repent, and to receive His grace.

Poke The Bear Part 1

Wed, 04 Mar 2026 10:00:00 +0000

As Christians, we have more influence than we sometimes realize. We have the opportunity to support leaders who reflect godly values and seek the good of their communities and work to make our cities better places to live. In today’s message, Pastor Chris reminds us that these are actions we can take right now. And while standing for what’s right may invite opposition, contending for a God-honoring society is a stand worth taking. Well-lived Christianity should shake up the world we live in.

Level Up Part 2

Tue, 03 Mar 2026 10:00:00 +0000

Before we knew Christ, many of us were entirely different people. We may not have cared about what we did or who we did it with. But then God made Himself known to us, and today, He’s making Himself known to you as well. Maybe you’re carrying something only you know about, or perhaps it’s a struggle you still face even as a believer. But today, Pastor Chris wants you to know that through Jesus, your sins are forgiven. He breaks the chains that once held your life captive and offers you true freedom.

Level Up Part 1

Mon, 02 Mar 2026 10:00:00 +0000

Right now, someone listening to this is struggling silently. Maybe you’re bound to something… something you keep hidden or can’t seem to get rid of. Perhaps you’re in a bad place mentally, and the end feels nowhere in sight. But if that’s you today, Pastor Chris wants you to know that you’re not alone. There is someone who knows what you’re going through, someone who can free you, someone who wants you to know that you’re loved - and His name is Jesus. Today, you’ll have an opportunity to get to know Him.

We Need Each Other Part 2

Fri, 27 Feb 2026 10:00:00 +0000

We live in a world filled with chaos, and at any moment, we can find ourselves facing a storm simply because of its brokenness. Sometimes, the fear of what’s out there, or even the fear of the unknown, can keep us up at night, leaving us anxious and worried. But in today’s message, Pastor Chris wants us to know that we weren’t meant to live our lives ruled by our emotions. When we place our trust in Jesus, we can bring our fears to Him, give Him our burdens, and allow Him to guide us through every storm.

We Need Each Other Part 1

Thu, 26 Feb 2026 10:00:00 +0000

As Christians, many of us can fall into an escapist mentality, waiting for the rapture in a nice, quiet part of the world. But the reality is that God doesn’t call us into hiding once we’re saved; He commands us to go out and make disciples of all nations. And in order to do that, we need community. In today’s message, Pastor Chris reminds us that the body of Christ isn’t just made up of people we pass time with; they are people we trust, rely on, and even love as we walk with Christ. Just as Paul had Timothy, we need each other.

Smarty Pants Part 2

Wed, 25 Feb 2026 10:00:00 +0000

Isn’t it amazing to know that our God cares about us? It’s easy to say that God wants a relationship with us, but have you ever stopped to ask why? It’s because He created us to be with Him. Not only that, He chose us in hopes that we, too, would choose Him. In today’s message, Pastor Chris reminds us that God gave us the freedom to choose. He created us with free will because of His great love for us, and He sent His Son, Jesus, to take our place on the cross because of that same love. Today, make a choice.

Smarty Pants Part 1

Tue, 24 Feb 2026 10:00:00 +0000

As we study the Word of God and seek to apply it to our lives, one question we may struggle with is how to effectively share God’s message with others. You wouldn’t speak to a toddler the same way you would speak to an adult, and the same principle applies when sharing God’s Word. That’s why in today’s message, Pastor Chris teaches that effective communication of the gospel comes from the Holy Spirit. It is when you spend time with God that He gives you discernment and wisdom on how to share the Word.

Biblical Black Belts Part 2

Mon, 23 Feb 2026 10:00:00 +0000

In today’s message, Pastor Chris teaches what it takes to be a biblical black belt… or as he likes to say, “spiritually shredded.” Several disciplines lead to “spiritual shredded-ness,” but one of the most important is discernment. Do you take what Pastor Chris teaches at face value? Do you listen to him and believe every word? Or do you take the wisdom he imparts, fact-check it, and test it against your own copy of God’s Word? Biblical black belts don’t earn that rank without training and discipline.

Biblical Black Belts Part 1

Fri, 20 Feb 2026 10:00:00 +0000

People often say there are two types of “smarts” out there. Some people have street smarts, and some people have book smarts. It can also be said that some people have plenty of knowledge, but no common sense. In today’s message, Pastor Chris teaches that the same thing can happen with knowledge of scripture. Some people know plenty of Bible facts, but don’t know the One who authored it. Could the same be said about you? When you read the Bible, do you fill yourself with head knowledge or heart knowledge?

God of All Circumstances Part 2

Thu, 19 Feb 2026 10:00:00 +0000

Can you imagine the humility and brokenness of the guard who led the apostle back to his house to clean their wounds? Can you imagine the humility if he were the one who delivered those wounds? In today’s message, Pastor Chris teaches that you will hurt someone in life, whether accidentally or through malicious intent. However, whether or not the damage is reversible, the bridge has not yet crumbled. You have the opportunity to make amends, ask for forgiveness, and restore that relationship.

God of All Circumstances Part 1

Wed, 18 Feb 2026 10:00:00 +0000

One thing about life is certain. There will be bright, sunny days, and also cold, dark nights. Life will not always go your way. You may get in a fight with your spouse or face the death of a child. You might get betrayed by your best friend, or be blindsided by being let go from your job. In today’s message, Pastor Chris teaches that no matter how long the night seems… no matter how dark it gets… You can always be a light and continue to praise God for all the great things He has done in your life.

Ups, Downs, and All Arounds Part 2

Tue, 17 Feb 2026 10:00:00 +0000

Do you know those days when it seems like the whole world is against you? Flat tire on the way to work… the coffee tasted terrible… a massive project gets thrown on you with a last-minute deadline… You get home, and kids are misbehaving… not exactly the best day, right? Today, Pastor Chris teaches that it’s best to look at those days with spiritual discernment. Maybe God was protecting you on the way to work. Perhaps the Holy Spirit wants to see you grow more like Jesus through trials.

Ups, Downs, and All Arounds Part 1

Mon, 16 Feb 2026 10:00:00 +0000

Forgiveness is somehow one of the hardest things to do, yet one of the most beautiful feelings. Holding a grudge, or having a grudge held against you, can feel like carrying a backpack full of rocks and wet mud… heavy, and weighing you down. In today’s message, Pastor Chris teaches that when you forgive someone, Jesus comes along and wears that backpack that was too heavy for you. He relieves that burden so you can freely run in your newly reconciled relationship. What used to be so hard is now beautiful and whole.

A Word Against Legalism Part 3

Fri, 13 Feb 2026 10:00:00 +0000

When you go to someone’s house, and they take their shoes off at the front door, what do you do? Do you keep yours on like you do whenever you’re away from home, or do you take yours off too, as they’d prefer? In today’s message, Pastor Chris teaches that you’ll often encounter others with a different worldview than your own. What convicts you may not convict them, and the things that grip their heart may not grip yours in the same way. Being Christlike means sacrificing your comfort when necessary.

A Word Against Legalism Part 2

Thu, 12 Feb 2026 10:00:00 +0000

Do you enjoy people-watching when you are at the local park or waiting for your flight at the airport? You can definitely find some interesting ones! In today’s message, Pastor Chris teaches that while you may ascribe fictional backstories to those around you, there’s no way to know their salvation until you engage in dialogue. The single mother down the street… the old married couple around the corner… the kids with the lemonade stand… they are all souls that long to see Jesus face-to-face.

A Word Against Legalism Part 1

Wed, 11 Feb 2026 10:00:00 +0000

We live in a world built on merit. Our success is built on how hard we work and how extensive our network is. Promotions are given to those who work hard, and those who sit idle get passed by. In today’s message, Pastor Chris explains that you may think this applies to the spiritual world as well, but that’s not the case. No matter how hard you work to impress God, it will never be enough. Because of that, your salvation isn’t found in the works you do, but rather the work of Jesus Christ on the cross.

God at Work Part 3

Tue, 10 Feb 2026 10:00:00 +0000

Professional sports teams often have older players to help their younger players grow. Those teams usually end up winning a championship and sometimes become a dynasty. Today, Pastor Chris says everyone must make disciples and teach them how to walk with God. It’s one thing to bring someone to Christ, but it’s another to walk with them and teach them how to read Scripture and pray. You must help new believers know how to know God well so they can build a strong foundation for their faith.

God at Work Part 2

Mon, 09 Feb 2026 10:00:00 +0000

We’ve all been in those awkward conversations where we don’t know what to say next. It usually happens when we don’t know who we’re talking to or have any relationship with them. In today’s message, Pastor Chris says if you lack faith, you must read the Bible so your faith can grow. It’s hard to trust someone whom you don’t know! Scripture is your way to have a real conversation with God. You must read your Bible to understand Him better. He wants to have a relationship with you. Let Him in!

God at Work Part 1

Fri, 06 Feb 2026 10:00:00 +0000

What do we do if our favorite sports team wins the championship? We tell everyone we know every chance we get! Whenever something good happens to us, we tell everyone we can! Today, Pastor Chris says you must share the gospel with people because the Bible tells you to do so. If knowing Jesus is the best thing that’s ever happened to you, it shouldn’t be hard to share with others! Share from your own experiences! Challenge yourself to share the gospel with someone new today!

Shake it off Part 3

Thu, 05 Feb 2026 10:00:00 +0000

Have you ever wondered what happens after death? There are a lot of theories, but can I tell you the truth? Without Jesus in your life, you’ll be eternally separated from God. In today’s message, Pastor Chris says if you don’t share that message with others, you aren’t loving them to the fullest. God wants you to be in eternity with Him! He sent His Son so you can be free from your sins. He loves you and wants a relationship with you. If you trust God and put your faith in Him, He promises to give you eternal life.

Shake it off Part 2

Wed, 04 Feb 2026 10:00:00 +0000

What makes a professional athlete better than a regular person? For one, they might be naturally gifted, but they also choose to work hard to be great at their sport. Even if they’re tired or don’t want to, they’ll push through the pain to continue perfecting their craft! Today, Pastor Chris says everyone reaches a point where they want to give up. You may have had multiple difficult things come up, but Christ strengthens you! You must remind yourself of what God’s brought you through to continue persevering!

Shake it off Part 1

Tue, 03 Feb 2026 10:00:00 +0000

When there’s injustice, we do everything we can to try and make it right. There’s just something unsettling about knowing that there’s nothing we can do to fix the wrong that’s happening. But don’t fret! The Bible promises that the unjust things will be made right when Christ returns! Today, Pastor Chris says sometimes we need to confront evil with the truth. As Christians, you must fight evil with love, but that doesn’t mean you can’t be clear and direct. You can be direct while still loving others as Christ loves you!

Listen Believe and Obey Part 2

Mon, 02 Feb 2026 10:00:00 +0000

Parents often assign their kids various tasks to teach them how to be responsible. When I was young, a common task I was assigned was to do the dishes and take out the trash! It’s a different mindset for me to do the dishes, not just because I was told but because I want to honor my parents. Today, Pastor Chris says we must not only minister for the Lord but minister to the Lord. He says that when you choose to minister to the Lord, it honors Him; therefore, you must live your life for Him daily.

Listen Believe and Obey Part 1

Fri, 30 Jan 2026 10:00:00 +0000

We all know one person in our lives who over-glorifies their stories. For me, it’s my mom. She’ll say she was at this place or saw this happen, and I’ll look at her and double-check her story, usually finding out she added more to her story than what happened. In today’s message, Pastor Chris says you must be wary of those who claim they have a new story about the Bible. This isn’t just from his words; this is also scriptural. The Bible warns you to be aware of those who are false prophets of the Word.

A Plethora of Principles Part 2

Thu, 29 Jan 2026 10:00:00 +0000

It can be hard to live this life when there’s so much unknown happening. In today’s message, Pastor Chris says the early church prayed for Peter, and that gave him immense rest and peace as he was amidst a trial. What if I told you there’s a way you can have the same peace that Peter had in your own life? You must trust in Jesus and allow Him to lead your life! Following Christ is the best decision you can make! Trust in Him and allow Him to lead you to have peace beyond all understanding.

A Plethora of Principles Part 1

Wed, 28 Jan 2026 10:00:00 +0000

Have you ever tried to hold a child that isn’t your own? What I’ve found is that if I don’t know the kid, they usually start to tear up instantly and eventually start crying! When a child is born, they’re usually attached to their parents because they know who has provided for them throughout their life! In today’s message, Pastor Chris says you must cling to Jesus for everything in your life. He’s provided all that you have; you must allow Him to lead you through every hill and valley! He’s worth putting your trust in.

Renewed in Christ Part 3

Tue, 27 Jan 2026 10:00:00 +0000

How do you view people who are different than you? Do you see levels, with some people higher or lower than others? Do you think less of someone with different political views or opinions about religion? In today's message, Pastor Chris will share with you what God thinks about those things. When it comes to sharing the Gospel with others, there shouldn't be a line that's drawn. The good news of Jesus is for anyone, no matter what they believe. God sees everyone as equal and equally needing Him.

Renewed in Christ Part 2

You can't fully comprehend God's plans. No one can. When someone has surrendered fully to Him, He'll use that person to bring about His will. It might be in ways that are unexpected, or that might not even make sense in the moment. But, as Pastor Chris will tell you in today's message, you don't have to know all of God's plans. Sometimes you can't. What you can do is move and go where He calls. You can take the next step He calls you to, and listen and wait for what's next. What's important is that you obey.

Renewed in Christ Part 1

Fri, 23 Jan 2026 10:00:00 +0000

If you've given your life to Christ, then your life should look like Him. Have you let Him start to change you from the inside out? There should be something different about your life that other people can see. The love of Christ should flow out of you. You should be bold in standing up for God's Word and telling others about Jesus. In today's message, Pastor Chris will show you what it should look like when The Holy Spirit is truly moving through your life to touch the people around you.

The Salvation of Saul Part 2

Thu, 22 Jan 2026 10:00:00 +0000

God can use you wherever you are to do great things for His Kingdom. It doesn't matter what you've done in the past, because He can forgive it all and make you new. You can be redeemed of anything you've ever done and live a life for Him that ends in eternity in Heaven. You just have to answer His call. In today's message, Pastor Chris is going to show you how Paul, probably one of the most unlikely people to share Jesus, was changed from a persecutor of Christians to a bold preacher of Christ.

The Salvation of Saul Part 1

Wed, 21 Jan 2026 10:00:00 +0000

Your walk with God isn't finished just at the moment you're saved. That's just the beginning. God wants you to live your life differently from that moment on. He calls you to live like Jesus, and to share His Word with everyone you can. That can look different for everybody, but it doesn't matter what the specific path is for you. What matters is that once you're called, you go do it. Today, Pastor Chris is going to encourage you to seek out God's will for your life and to be faithful to live it out.

Acts 8:26-40 Part 2

Tue, 20 Jan 2026 10:00:00 +0000

God wants you to spread the good news of the Gospels to everyone you can. Philip was ready, and when God called him to go, he went. He didn't ask questions. He didn't sit by and do nothing. He did what God called him to do, and the ministry opportunities showed up when he started moving. In today's message, Pastor Chris is going to ask you if you're ready and willing to go wherever God calls you. Would you go? Would you listen to God and do what He wants, regardless of what it is?

Acts 8:26-40 Part 1

Mon, 19 Jan 2026 10:00:00 +0000

You can't even comprehend all the things that God's capable of doing through the life of someone who's totally sold out to following Him. When God moves, He can't be stopped. He's greater than any situation, trial, or enemy attack. In today's message, Pastor Chris is going to show you how important it is to listen for God's voice and to go where He calls you when you hear it. You don't have to fear anything when following God, because He'll provide you with all you need along the way.

Salvation in Samaria Part 2

Fri, 16 Jan 2026 10:00:00 +0000

The Gospel is for everyone. Jesus came to earth to die for the sins of everyone. No matter your past or where you're from, The Father's gift of salvation is for you, and all you have to do is turn from your sins and give your heart to Him. In today's message, Pastor Chris is going to share the importance of looking past a person's race, or income, or social status. Jesus didn't care about those things. He cared about each individual person's heart. He came to save anyone who wants to be saved from their sins.

Salvation in Samaria Part 1

Thu, 15 Jan 2026 10:00:00 +0000

The message of Jesus Christ coming to earth, dying for your sins, and resurrecting is for everyone! It's for all who sin and fall short of the glory of God. Regardless of your background, or race, income, religion, God can change your heart, forgive you, and make you a child of His. That was the message Stephen preached in the book of Acts, and the same message is true for you today, too. Pastor Chris wants you to know that anyone can be forgiven, and everyone should preach that good news everywhere!

Stephen Boldly Preaches Part 3

Wed, 14 Jan 2026 10:00:00 +0000

We find it so easy to see the shortcomings and failures in others, while ignoring and justifying our own sins. As we examine today’s passage in Acts with Pastor Chris, Stephen’s sermon will draw our attention to a history of failure on the part of Israel. Over and over, they chose to reject the ways of God, despite His continual provision for them. We tend to be so forgetful. God can rescue us from the most hopeless circumstances, and we turn right around and long to return to our oppression.

Stephen Boldly Preaches Part 2

Tue, 13 Jan 2026 10:00:00 +0000

The rejection and execution of Jesus should have been the last straw for God. He loved us enough to send Him in human form, experiencing temptation and the struggles of this life. But instead of celebrating and welcoming Him as the Messiah, we scorned Him and treated Him like a criminal with no justification. Yet, as Pastor Chris will point out in today’s message, in His incredible grace, God followed through on His promise to bring restoration and subjected His own Son to death to save us.

Stephen Boldly Preaches Part 1

Mon, 12 Jan 2026 10:00:00 +0000

As Pastor Chris continues our study in the book of Acts, we’ll encounter one of the greatest sermons delivered in Scripture. Stephen beautifully connected the dots between the prophecies of the Old Testament, the foundation of the belief system that many members of his audience had clung to for much of their lives, and their fulfillment in the form of Jesus Christ. Sadly, just as Joseph’s brothers didn’t recognize him when they found him in Egypt, many of the Jews failed to recognize who Jesus was.

Called to Service Part 2

Fri, 09 Jan 2026 10:00:00 +0000

We have an unhealthy tendency to think that pastors bear the entire weight of responsibility for ministry and outreach in the Church. We want them to prepare an engaging, perfectly timed sermon every Sunday, and they need to be there for the widows, the impoverished, or the emotionally unstable, on top of many other management and facility responsibilities. As Pastor Chris will point out in today’s message, being a part of the Church is not a matter of being served but of humbly serving others.

Called to Service Part 1

Thu, 08 Jan 2026 10:00:00 +0000

We live in an extremely consumeristic society. On average, Americans spend an estimated $1500 every month on non-essential items and services. Things we don’t need, just because they’re convenient or we just want them. As Pastor Chris will point out in today’s message, this consumerism has bled over into the Church. There’s a common, unhealthy tendency in many Christians to pick a church based on what it does for them, instead of focusing on how they can serve the Church.

Obey God Part 2

Wed, 07 Jan 2026 10:00:00 +0000

We live in a very sensitive time. The characteristic that Pastor Chris is referring to seems to be especially abundant in the younger generations today, but it’s an issue for people of all ages and across the political and cultural spectrum. It’s not unique to a specific group. As he’ll challenge us in today’s message, we need to operate with grace and love as followers of Jesus. We can stand up for what we believe in without blowing up and escalating every conversation into a heated argument.

Obey God Part 1

Tue, 06 Jan 2026 10:00:00 +0000

What fills your heart and mind? Is it personal ambitions, relationships, plans, or desires? When you accept Jesus as your Lord and Savior, He wants all of you. He wants to fill up your heart and be the center of your life. As Pastor Chris will challenge us in today’s message, this doesn’t mean life stops, and you spend your entire life reading the Bible and attending worship services. It does mean that every aspect of your life becomes an opportunity for giving honor and gratitude to God.

Stop Pretending Part 2

Mon, 05 Jan 2026 10:00:00 +0000

You may take offense at that for multiple reasons. None of us enjoys thinking back to those days of masks and social distancing, but as Pastor Chris will point out in today’s message, we’re often guilty of wearing a different kind of mask in church. We want to look like we’ve got it altogether. The Church is a gathering of sinners who’ve been saved by grace – we’re not perfect, and we rarely claim to be. Yet, we strive to look like we are. We need to be honest about our brokenness and our need for Christ.

Stop Pretending Part 1

Fri, 02 Jan 2026 10:00:00 +0000

As Pastor Chris continues our study in the book of Acts today, he’ll draw our attention to a great weakness we see in the modern Church, especially in America. We enjoy the freedom to practice our faith openly, but this freedom has led to complacency and hypocrisy in many cases. We have the ability to be affiliated with Christianity, even holding to many Christian values, while completely missing the heart of our faith. We’re called to something greater, and the world needs us to step up.

They Saw and Marveled Part 3

Thu, 01 Jan 2026 10:00:00 +0000

In today’s message, Pastor Chris shows why the religious leaders were astonished at Peter and John. They had no formal training, yet they spoke with boldness and wisdom. The reason was simple: they had been with Jesus. Spending time with Him through His Word and prayer gives you the same power. God can transform ordinary believers when they stay close to Christ. Open your Bible daily and meet Him there. How do you make daily time with Jesus your greatest priority?

They Saw and Marveled Part 2

Wed, 31 Dec 2025 10:00:00 +0000

What makes the gospel both wide open yet extremely narrow?

In today’s message, Pastor Chris highlights Peter’s bold declaration: there is no other name under heaven by which we must be saved. The way to God is exclusive; only Jesus saves. No one reaches the Father except through Him. Yet it’s wonderfully inclusive because the offer stands for every single person. Jesus died for the sins of the whole world. God can and will receive every heart that turns to His Son.

They Saw and Marveled Part 1

Tue, 30 Dec 2025 10:00:00 +0000

What happens when you openly share the name of Jesus? In today’s message, Pastor Chris points out that preaching Christ always brings two results. Some people get saved and find eternal life. Others respond with opposition and even hatred. That’s the Christian life. When you step out in faithfulness, God can use you to change someone forever, but you might also face pushback or trouble. You can play it safe and avoid most conflict, or you can go for it and trust God with whatever comes.

You Used to be Lame Part 3

Mon, 29 Dec 2025 10:00:00 +0000

In today’s message, Pastor Chris describes seeing so many gripped by anxiety and fear from all that’s happening in the world today. What they desperately need is refreshing from God, a real relationship with Jesus Christ. That’s the only true joy and lasting hope. The Greek word for “times of refreshing” literally means recovery of breath. The world is strangling people, but when you come to Christ, you breathe again. How can you point others to the One who finally gives them breath again?

You Used to be Lame Part 2

Fri, 26 Dec 2025 10:00:00 +0000

What opportunities surround you that you might be missing? In today’s message, Pastor Chris shows how Peter saw a crowd and instantly recognized a moment to preach Christ. The Spirit led him, and he simply responded. God can place divine appointments in your path every day. The question is: are you looking? Are you praying for open doors to share the hope of Jesus? Peter didn’t hesitate when he noticed; he acted. God can open your eyes the same way if you just ask Him to.

You Used to be Lame Part 1

Thu, 25 Dec 2025 10:00:00 +0000

What stops you from standing up and walking with God today? In today’s message, Pastor Chris shares the moment Peter told the lame man, “Rise up and walk.” Before any healing was visible, the command came: wake up and walk. That word “rise up” means to awaken, to open your eyes. God can open your eyes first to who He is and how good He is. Once you see Him clearly, the next step is simple: start walking with Him. How do you respond when God says, “Wake up and walk” to you?

The Day of Pentecost Part 2

Wed, 24 Dec 2025 10:00:00 +0000

What do you expect when you gather with God’s people? In today’s message, Pastor Chris calls believers to approach church with reverence and awe for the Holy Spirit. The early church arrived anticipating God’s supernatural power because they knew He is mighty. God moves just as powerfully today as He did then. He hasn’t changed; His Spirit is still at work. A healthy fear of God and bold faith go hand in hand. How do you prepare your heart to meet a God who still moves today?

The Day of Pentecost Part 1

Tue, 23 Dec 2025 10:00:00 +0000

What lies does the world tell you to keep you from God’s truth? In today’s message, Pastor Chris confronts the crooked thinking that says you’re fine just as you are. The world insists you can define truth however you want and still be right with God. But Scripture reveals a twisted path that leads away from Him. God’s standard is just, holy, and unchanging. Only Jesus makes the crooked straight and the warped whole. How do you turn from the world’s crooked lies to walk in God’s straight truth?

The Purpose of Pentecost Part 2

Mon, 22 Dec 2025 10:00:00 +0000

Can you imagine living your whole life in darkness, broken, afraid, and unsure of the road ahead? That’s what it’s like to live without Jesus. But today, Pastor Chris wants you to know that you don’t have to stay in pieces or walk through life spiritually blind. Through Jesus Christ, you can see the light. He is the One who puts your life back together and frees you from the chains and burdens of this world. In Christ, you can walk in true freedom and look forward to eternal life with Him.

The Purpose of Pentecost Part 1

Fri, 19 Dec 2025 10:00:00 +0000

We live in an uncertain world: a world that often feels on the edge of war, chaos, and deep social and political division. And when we turn on the news and see the turmoil around us, it’s natural to wonder, “Is this the end times the Bible talks about?” In today’s message, Pastor Chris reminds us that while we are living in the last days, that does not mean we are without hope. Our hope is in Jesus Christ. Every day, He extends grace, giving us another opportunity to repent, return to Him, and be ready for His coming.

Day of Pentecost Part 2

Thu, 18 Dec 2025 10:00:00 +0000

We lead busy lives: going to work, coming home, taking care of our kids, spending time with family and friends, and pursuing our personal goals. But where does God fit into all of this? How can we glorify God and honor Him in our daily lives without neglecting our other responsibilities? In today’s message, Pastor Chris encourages you to prioritize God and give Him praise in everything you do. No matter the area of your life, express gratitude to God and strive to live with a heavenly mindset.

Day of Pentecost Part 1

Wed, 17 Dec 2025 10:00:00 +0000

Every Sunday, when we gather at church to worship Christ, learn from His Word, and spend time with our friends and family, it’s easy to forget how blessed we are - to worship Jesus freely and read from His Word without the fear of having our freedom taken away. It really makes you think. Have you ever wondered what the early church looked like 2,000 years ago? Today, Pastor Chris takes you back to the very beginning of the Church age, to the moment when the Holy Spirit was poured out, and the Church was born.

A Church of One Accord Part 2

Tue, 16 Dec 2025 10:00:00 +0000

One of the greatest things about God is His mercy and forgiveness. His grace is endless and without bounds. Imagine if God punished us every time we sinned, every time we argued, cursed, or held hatred in our hearts; none of us would remain. But God, in His goodness, offers forgiveness every time we turn to Him and ask for His mercy. Today, Pastor Chris reminds us that because of what Christ accomplished on the cross, we are called to live in unity as the Body of Christ, giving thanks for His unending grace.

A Church of One Accord Part 1

Mon, 15 Dec 2025 10:00:00 +0000

As Christians, we’re called to be the salt and light of the world, to be set apart as ambassadors of Christ. But when we argue or hold grudges against one another in the church, it doesn’t reflect who Jesus is. That’s why, in today’s message, Pastor Chris reminds us that there can be no strife or division within the Body of Christ. We’re called to walk in unity and love; the same love that Jesus showed us is the love we must show the world and one another, so that we may be of one accord.

The Theology of the Holy Spirit Part 3

Fri, 12 Dec 2025 10:00:00 +0000

Do you remember when you were a kid and would go to your parents whenever you needed help? As you get older, you often stop asking; you try to handle everything on your own, even in your walk with God. But in today’s message, Pastor Chris reminds you that your Heavenly Father wants you to come to Him for everything, even when asking for more of His Spirit. God delights when His children seek Him and is ready to pour out His Spirit on those who ask. All you need to do is seek God, and He will find you.

The Theology of the Holy Spirit Part 2

Thu, 11 Dec 2025 10:00:00 +0000

As we walk through life with God, we discover that He gives us spiritual gifts through the Holy Spirit, gifts that allow us to do amazing things, but only through His power. These gifts aren’t given for our glory, but to serve others and point people back to Him. Today, Pastor Chris reminds you that if you want to be used by God for His purpose and glory, you must first come to Jesus. When you give your life to Christ, He fills you with the Holy Spirit, and that’s when true change begins: in your mind, heart, and soul.

The Theology of the Holy Spirit Part 1

Wed, 10 Dec 2025 10:00:00 +0000

One of the most amazing things about God is how He works through people. When someone serves you or shows you genuine care, that’s the love of God working through them. So, how does God do it? In today’s message, Pastor Chris reminds you that when you give your heart to Jesus Christ, the Holy Spirit comes to live within you, guiding you, transforming you, and using your life to point others to Him. All you have to do is let Jesus into your life, and watch the Holy Spirit work through you.

Acts 1:1-11 Part 2

Tue, 09 Dec 2025 10:00:00 +0000

What do you consider your “Sunday Best?” Maybe you’re a fan of a nice suit, a freshly ironed dress shirt, and your grandfather’s watch. Or maybe your Sunday best is a flannel shirt paired with one of your nicer pairs of jeans. In today’s message, Pastor Chris teaches that your outward appearance does not reflect your status with God… your heart does. It doesn’t matter what your past looks like, what your wardrobe looks like, or where you’ve been. If you allow God to use you, you’ll do incredible things.

Acts 1:1-11 Part 1

Mon, 08 Dec 2025 10:00:00 +0000

Waiting can be extremely hard. As humans, we are not really known for our patience… especially when it comes to driving! We wanted to get where we want to go as fast as we possibly can. In today’s message, Pastor Chris teaches that this is often how we approach life as well. We want that job now. We want that raise now. We want that law to pass now. As much as you wish you could have all these things now, it’s best to wait on the Lord because He knows exactly when you need them.

Mark 16 Part 3

Fri, 05 Dec 2025 10:00:00 +0000

God calls people to be followers, but also to go out and share the good news about Him. You don’t have to be a full-time missionary to Cambodia to do that. Sharing the good news can happen when you fill your car with gas or when you go out to eat. Today, Pastor Chris teaches that wherever you go, God is right beside you, working alongside you to expand His kingdom. Next time you go out to eat, ask your waitress how you can pray for her, and watch how that opens the door for a Jesus conversation.

Mark 16 Part 2

Thu, 04 Dec 2025 10:00:00 +0000

Whenever things aren’t going our way, we tend to isolate ourselves. Why do we do that? Why do we assume that when life gets hard, going through it alone makes it any easier? In today’s message, Pastor Chris teaches that God cares for the broken-hearted because He’s been broken-hearted. He cares for the hurt because He’s been one of the hurt. See, Jesus knows your pain. He knows what it’s like to be mocked, and He knows what it’s like to be abandoned. Don’t isolate yourself from Him.

Mark 16 Part 1

Wed, 03 Dec 2025 10:00:00 +0000

What’s that thing in your life pinning you down? You know, the room around you is on fire, and one of the rafters fell, and it’s too heavy to escape, metaphorically speaking, of course. What challenges or burdens are keeping you trapped in that burning room? In today’s message, Pastor Chris teaches that none of that is too heavy for God. He’s the hero who wants to run in to save you. He wants to lift that rafter off you, but first you have to let go. Will you allow Him to rescue you from the fire?

Mark 15 Part 2

Tue, 02 Dec 2025 10:00:00 +0000

Do you realize that every day, you fall short of the glory of God? He has set out a list of rules that no one can keep except for Jesus, and because of that, He could leave you behind for breaking His law. However, He didn’t do that. He sent Jesus to keep His laws and to act as the sacrifice required to pay your debt —a debt you will never be able to pay. In today’s message, Pastor Chris teaches that, as a broken human, you cannot reach God, so God, in His mercy, reaches down to meet you.

Mark 15 Part 2

Mon, 01 Dec 2025 10:00:00 +0000

Often, it’s easy for us to ignore the advice of others, only to realize that they were right the whole time when things don’t go the way we expected. In today’s message, Pastor Chris teaches that, though Jesus let His persecutors know that He was God, they could not believe Him. They just thought He was just some crazy troublemaker, but when the veil tore, so did their reality… they had just killed the Son of God. However, the story doesn’t end there. Jesus would come back, and He would do it for you.

Mark 15 Part 1

Fri, 28 Nov 2025 10:00:00 +0000

How often do you find yourself making excuses instead of taking the blame? It can be hard to admit responsibility at times, but it is the right thing to do. In today’s message, Pastor Chris teaches that when Jesus was condemned to death, none of the responsible parties wanted to stake their name in it. Pontius Pilate washed his hands… the Jews turned Jesus over to Rome to do their dirty work. Today, can you admit what they couldn’t? Can you admit that Jesus was on the cross for and because of you?

Mark 14:53-72 Part 2

Thu, 27 Nov 2025 10:00:00 +0000

In today’s message, Pastor Chris teaches about two rocks. One of them, the Apostle Peter, crumbles under the pressure of man and denies Jesus multiple times throughout the night of Christ’s capture. The other rock is Jesus Himself. He is the Rock who never crumbled. He’s the rock that you can base your foundation on. If you are a born-again believer, He is the rock your faith is built on. If you’re not a believer, why not make that change today? Why not put your faith in Jesus Christ, the Solid Rock?

Mark 14:53-72 Part 1

Wed, 26 Nov 2025 10:00:00 +0000

It can be incredibly frustrating when false accusations are made against us. “So-and-so told me you said this!” and “You said you’d do X, Y, and Z!” It puts us on defense and makes us want to retaliate with words that we probably shouldn’t say. In today’s message, Pastor Chris teaches that when this happens, you can respond as you usually would… or you can choose to respond like Jesus would. Now… be honest. Whose approach is better? Jesus, of course! Choose patience, gentleness, and self-control.

Mark 14:32-52 Part 2

Tue, 25 Nov 2025 10:00:00 +0000

Life can feel like standing on shifting sand—everything around us moves and changes. Friends drift away, plans fall through, and the things we once depended on start to crumble. But there’s one solid rock beneath it all: Jesus. He never changes, never leaves, and never stops loving us. Pastor Chris will tell you today that when the ground is shifting, Jesus remains steady. Hebrews says, “Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever.” He’s the one constant you can always count on.

Mark 14:32-52 Part 1

Mon, 24 Nov 2025 10:00:00 +0000

“Not my will, but Yours be done.” It’s one of the hardest prayers to pray, especially when life hurts—when the path ahead feels uncertain, or when God’s plan doesn’t look like ours. In the garden, Jesus prayed those exact words, knowing the suffering that awaited Him. Yet He surrendered, trusting the Father’s perfect wisdom and love. Today, Pastor Chris will explain that when you face your own trials, that same prayer becomes an act of deep faith, choosing God’s will over your own and trusting in Him.

Mark 14:12-31 Part 2

Fri, 21 Nov 2025 10:00:00 +0000

Have you ever felt too far gone for God to forgive you? Like your mistakes have disqualified you from His grace? The truth is, you aren’t worthy of His forgiveness, but that’s the beauty of the gospel. It’s not about how good you’ve been or how bad you’ve failed. It’s about Jesus and what He’s already done for you. Pastor Chris will proclaim today that when you put your faith in Jesus, His mercy covers every sin and every regret. Forgiveness isn’t earned; it’s received through faith in the One who gave it all.

Mark 14:12-31 Part 1

Thu, 20 Nov 2025 10:00:00 +0000

Imagine being the man who owned the upper room, the space where Jesus and His disciples shared the Last Supper. We don’t even know his name, but his willingness to open his home became part of one of the most sacred moments in history. He simply made what he had available for Jesus to use. Today, Pastor Chris will ask, “What if you lived like that?” Your home, your car, your time, your talents, all surrendered for His purpose. What if you placed your possessions in Jesus’ hands to be used?

Mark 14:1-11 Part 2

Wed, 19 Nov 2025 10:00:00 +0000

Have you ever stood for something you believed in, only to be laughed at or criticized? Following Christ can sometimes feel that way. When we choose to live for Him, we may face rejection, misunderstanding, or even suffering, but He never said it would be easy. Pastor Chris will tell you today that Jesus endured far more for you, and He calls you to share in His sufferings with courage and faith. Every trial you face for His name is not wasted; it refines your heart and brings glory to the One you follow.

Mark 14:1-11 Part 1

Tue, 18 Nov 2025 10:00:00 +0000

The other day, I tried fixing a leaky faucet on my own. I watched a few videos, grabbed some tools, and thought, “How hard could it be?” An hour later, water was everywhere, and I finally called for help. Isn’t that how we often handle life’s problems? We try to fix things on our own, like our stress, our relationships, and the things that cause us worry, only to make a bigger mess. Today, Pastor Chris will explain that Jesus invites you to bring it all to Him, to lay your struggles at His feet, where true peace and help are found.

Mark 13:14-37 Part 2

Mon, 17 Nov 2025 10:00:00 +0000

Imagine a servant whose master leaves on a long journey, entrusting him with important work to do. The servant doesn’t know when the master will return, but he stays faithful—working diligently, showing kindness, and keeping the light burning. That’s the picture Jesus gave us of how we’re to live until He comes back. Pastor Chris will encourage you today to keep serving, keep loving, and keep shining His light in a dark world, because one day, the Master will return and make all things new.

Mark 13:14-37 Part 1

Fri, 14 Nov 2025 10:00:00 +0000

Isn’t it amazing how something written thousands of years ago can still speak directly to our hearts today? Scripture was given to real people in real moments of history; people facing fear, doubt, and struggle just like us. Yet the same words that encouraged them still breathe life and truth into us now. Today, Pastor Chris will tell you how God’s Word is timeless; it never expires or loses its power. Every verse has layers of meaning, rooted in the past, yet alive for the present. It still speaks today.

It’s Gonna Get Real Part 2

We live in a divided nation; maybe more divided than ever before. And in times like these, we have to ask ourselves: who are we drawing the line for, and what will it cost? Politics and opinions can divide friends and families, but there’s a far greater line being drawn today… the one that leads to Jesus. And Pastor Chris wants you to know that there will come a day, maybe sooner than you think, when you’ll have to choose between the world and all its pleasures, or eternity with Jesus Christ.

It’s Gonna Get Real Part 1

Wed, 12 Nov 2025 10:00:00 +0000

Have you ever been online shopping for something you actually needed, only to end up buying something you didn’t? Human nature is easily drawn to things that catch the eye. But when your life comes to an end and you stand before God, none of your possessions will be there with you…not your house, your bank account, or your stuff. That’s why Pastor Chris reminds you that possessions aren’t eternal; your soul is. And the question you have to answer is where you’ll spend eternity: with Christ, or without Him.

Mark 12:13-44 Part 3

Tue, 11 Nov 2025 10:00:00 +0000

Sometimes, as we walk through life, we can forget what truly matters. It’s easy to put our relationship with God on the back burner when the world offers things that seem more enticing. But in today’s message, Pastor Chris wants you to know that your relationship with Jesus should be your top priority. Don’t limit Him to just one day a week or one small part of your life. Make Jesus the center of everything you do, and allow Him to lead the way. Love God with all of your mind, heart, and soul.

Mark 12:13-44 Part 2

Mon, 10 Nov 2025 10:00:00 +0000

We live in an information age, and in today’s world, knowledge is king. Now more than ever, this world has become reliant on staying up to date on everything, and sometimes, the pursuit of knowledge can lead down a dark path, especially when it comes to trivial matters. But today, Pastor Chris encourages you to have a heavenly mindset and look to God to reveal things you’re unsure about through His Word. Ask God, humble yourself before Him, and allow Him to share everything He wants you to know.

Mark 12:13-44 Part 1

Fri, 07 Nov 2025 10:00:00 +0000

It’s easy to say we’re one hundred percent Christian every moment of our lives and that we live every second according to God’s Word. But the truth is, we all mess up, and often at that. Sometimes we act one way around our church friends and another way at home, and that’s not what God calls us to. We’re called to walk in the light and be the salt of the earth, which means living for Christ consistently, not selectively. In today’s message, Pastor Chris reminds us that no matter who we’re around, our lives should always reflect Jesus.

Where’s The Fruit? Part 2

Thu, 06 Nov 2025 10:00:00 +0000

Many people believe that all roads lead to God, that as long as we follow our own convictions, we’ll end up in the same place. But that couldn’t be further from the truth. Salvation can’t be earned by good works or personal effort; it comes only through faith in Jesus Christ. He said, “No one comes to the Father except through Me.” That’s why in today’s message, Pastor Chris reminds you that Jesus already did what you and I could never do alone. He died on the cross for all who would believe in Him.

Where’s The Fruit? Part 1

Wed, 05 Nov 2025 10:00:00 +0000

Have you ever gone out to grab a bite to eat, and when you see a restaurant with its lights on, you walk up only to find that it’s closed? That’s what Jesus experienced when He came to a fig tree in Jerusalem. It looked full of fruit, but when He got there, there was none to be found. Sometimes in life, people can appear to be Christians, but their spiritual tree bears no fruit. So today, Pastor Chris invites you to read the Word of God, study it, and live it out each day so that your life doesn’t just look fruitful, it truly is.

Mark 11:1-11 Part 2

Tue, 04 Nov 2025 10:00:00 +0000

Have you ever had one of those days when doing the right thing felt harder than taking the easy way out? When the weight of the world left you longing for something more? If that’s you, then today’s message from Pastor Chris is for you. Life can be hard, and sometimes choosing what’s right feels like the toughest road to take. But today, Pastor Chris encourages you to let Jesus into your heart. Don’t let another day pass, seek Jesus, and choose the narrow path, the road that leads to everlasting life

Mark 11:1-11 Part 1

Mon, 03 Nov 2025 10:00:00 +0000

As we walk through life, we’re faced with all kinds of decisions. Sometimes the hardest choice of the day is whether to eat out or pay extra for same-day shipping. We don’t often make life-changing decisions, but when those moments come, we can find ourselves unsure which way to go. And too often, we wait for a big sign before we move forward, so we end up doing nothing. But in today’s message, Pastor Chris encourages us to seek God not just in the major decisions, but in every area of our lives.

Mark 10:23-52 Part 3

Fri, 31 Oct 2025 10:00:00 +0000

Your life was not rescued by sentiment or slogans but by the highest ransom imaginable—Jesus giving Himself in your place. He covered every debt, shattered every chain, and opened a future you could never purchase. The price proves His love and guarantees His commitment to finish what He began. Receive that costly love with gratitude, walk free of shame, and live boldly for Him. And in today's message, Pastor Chris will ask you to let Christ’s sacrifice define your identity and purpose.

Mark 10:23-52 Part 2

Thu, 30 Oct 2025 10:00:00 +0000

Safety nets—savings, plans, and connections—are wise, but they’re not saviors. They calm nerves until life outruns them. God alone deserves the full weight of your trust. Place outcomes in His hands, not in your contingencies. Pray before you plan, obey when it’s costly, and hold resources loosely. And in today’s message, Pastor Chris will remind you to trade illusion for assurance: let confidence shift from what you’ve built to Who holds you, and discover peace that safeguards can’t provide.

Mark 10:23-52 Part 1

Wed, 29 Oct 2025 10:00:00 +0000

You can plan harder, grind longer, and lay the best plans—but human effort has a ceiling. God’s power doesn’t. He opens doors no résumé can, calms storms hustle can’t, and transforms hearts willpower won’t. Surrender isn’t quitting; it’s partnering with the limitless. Pray first, obey quickly, and expect provision beyond your resources. And in today’s message, Pastor Chris will invite you to trade self-reliance for God-reliance and watch ordinary limits become platforms for His extraordinary work.

Mark 10:1-22 Part 2

Tue, 28 Oct 2025 10:00:00 +0000

Like infants rely on parents for everything—food, safety, comfort—you’re invited to depend on God for wisdom, strength, and daily bread. Dependence isn’t weakness; it’s trust that frees you from pretending you’re self-sufficient. Ask boldly, receive gratefully, and rest securely in His care. Build rhythms of prayer, surrender plans, and follow His lead step by step. And in today’s message, Pastor Chris will encourage you to choose childlike reliance—God delights to carry what you can’t and guide where you can’t see.

Mark 10:1-22 Part 1

Mon, 27 Oct 2025 10:00:00 +0000

When God is at the center, your marriage draws from a source bigger than moods, mistakes, and seasons. Prayer softens pride, forgiveness shortens arguments, and shared purpose turns daily tasks into teamwork. You learn to outserve each other, to listen before defending, and to choose “us” over winning. And in today's message, Pastor Chris will remind you to return to the Center—worship together, seek wise counsel, and practice gratitude. Anchored in Him, your bond becomes resilient, joyful, and remarkably hard to break.

Mark 9:33-50 Part 2

Fri, 24 Oct 2025 10:00:00 +0000

Have you ever attended church or heard a message that really touched your heart? Preachers and pastors are not called to sugarcoat God’s teachings; they are meant to share them from a place of love. That’s why, in today’s message, Pastor Chris encourages you not to feel discouraged when you hear God’s Word speaking directly to you. Instead, embrace the conviction of the Holy Spirit and allow it to guide you and change your ways, walking with God rather than following your own desires.

Mark 9:33-50 Part 1

Thu, 23 Oct 2025 10:00:00 +0000

Do you remember being a kid, waking from a nightmare, and running to your parents for comfort? Fear is a real part of life, and too often, there are moments when you forget that you’re not alone. The Bible teaches that God is always with you, no matter where you go. So today, Pastor Chris reminds you that you don’t have to carry fear and anxiety on your own… Jesus invites you to bring every worry to Him. When you place your faith in Him, He doesn’t just walk beside you; He conquers it all.

Mark 9:14-29 Part 2

Wed, 22 Oct 2025 10:00:00 +0000

Have you ever had one of those moments when you hear about something, and it sounds way too good to be true? In our lives, most things sound better than they really are, but not Jesus. No words can capture just how amazing He truly is. And sometimes, when we’ve been lost for so long, we look at the solution to everything and wonder, “What’s the catch?” Today, Pastor Chris wants you to know there isn’t any; there’s only Jesus, and all you need to do is place your faith in Him.

Mark 9:14-29 Part 1

Tue, 21 Oct 2025 10:00:00 +0000

Sometimes we fall into the habit of relying only on ourselves. We carry our problems, our pain, and our struggles alone. But you don’t have to be on your own, not anymore. In today’s message, Pastor Chris invites you to reach out to Jesus. And when you trust Him, you are never alone. He will walk with you through every problem, every victory, and every loss. Have faith in Christ, and He will see you through every storm and every season. All you have to do is reach out, and He will find you.

Mark 9:1-13 Part 2

Mon, 20 Oct 2025 10:00:00 +0000

We live in a world of subliminal messaging, and nowadays, it’s not so subtle anymore. From music to online media, the world has its ways of pushing its agenda out there, and people fall into it. But in today’s message, Pastor Chris tells you that there’s nothing in this world that can force you to have a relationship with Jesus Christ. Walking in this life with Jesus is the most personal relationship you can have, and no amount of tradition or pressure can force you to accept Him into your heart. Only you can choose Him.

Mark 9:1-13 Part 1

Fri, 17 Oct 2025 10:00:00 +0000

When we’re kids, the entire world feels like one big adventure, just waiting to be explored. But as we grow up and become adults, we become more stationary and fall into a routine. Sometimes, we go through life on autopilot. In today’s message, Pastor Chris encourages us to be spiritually awake and to live our lives with our eyes wide open. We should be aware of our surroundings and ensure that our relationship with Jesus is at the center of our lives so that when He comes back, we’re ready.

Mark 8:27-38 Part 2

Thu, 16 Oct 2025 10:00:00 +0000

When you look back at your life, what would you say is the most valuable thing to you? Would you say it’s your money, status, or fame? Would you say it’s your family or the legacy you’re leaving in this world? Or is it something greater than all of that combined? You see, your relationship with Jesus should be the most important thing in your life. But when push comes to shove, how far are you willing to go for Him? Today, Pastor Chris asks you: Are you willing to lose it all for Jesus Christ?

Mark 8:27-38 Part 1

Wed, 15 Oct 2025 10:00:00 +0000

Sometimes, our paths can lead us to places we never expected. However, when our lives come to an end, there are only two places we can go. See, Jesus wants us to be with Him. That’s why He gives us His grace. When we live our lives by walking with Him, Jesus offers us eternal salvation so that when it’s our time to leave this world, we’ll be right there next to our Lord and Savior. So, in today’s message, Pastor Chris asks you: Who is Jesus to you, and how will you respond to His calling?

Mark 8:11-26 Part 2

Tue, 14 Oct 2025 10:00:00 +0000

This life of following Jesus is a journey. Sin will continue to find footholds in your life long after you accept Jesus as your Savior. Till you stand before Him in Heaven, you’ll remain imperfect. This may sound discouraging, but it’s not meant to be. Even the greatest heroes of Scripture had some very low moments of struggle and failure. Yet God used them in amazing ways. Today, Pastor Chris will encourage us to trust that God can do the same with us as we trust in His grace, not our own performance.

Mark 8:11-26 Part 1

Mon, 13 Oct 2025 10:00:00 +0000

This journey of life is often compared to the conditions we find in nautical journeys. When you travel by boat, you’re at the mercy of nature. Even in modern boats with powerful engines and clever designs meant to protect the vessel, a storm can wreak havoc for those aboard and threaten their lives. As Pastor Chris will point out in today’s message, Jesus and His disciples were very familiar with life on the water, and it’s one of the places we often find Jesus demonstrating His power and testing His disciples’ faith.

Mark 7:24-8:9 Part 2

Fri, 10 Oct 2025 10:00:00 +0000

A byproduct of our sinful nature is this persistent tendency to forget who God is and what He’s done for us. We see this exhibited in the Israelites' time and again throughout Scripture, and in our own lives, we can see the way we experience His goodness and faithfulness, just to completely forget the next time we come to an obstacle or a trial. As Pastor Chris will encourage us in today’s message, we need to remind ourselves daily of God’s goodness and step out boldly in faith.

Mark 7:24-8:9 Part 1

Thu, 09 Oct 2025 10:00:00 +0000

Not a single one of us is deserving of a single crumb from the Lord’s table. He’s perfect and full of selfless love and grace, and we are full of selfish pride, greed, lust, and ambition for power. We’re consumed with these sinful attitudes and desires and are unworthy of our Creator’s presence. Yet, as Pastor Chris will point out in today’s message, because of Jesus, God has made a place for us at His table, considering us as His Children and no longer enemies or dogs undeserving of His fellowship.

Mark 7:1-23 Part 2

Wed, 08 Oct 2025 10:00:00 +0000

There are some beautiful worship songs out today, along with extremely talented musicians and worship leaders who create amazing musical experiences that grab your heart and pull you into the emotions of the moment. But it’s important to ask, where’s the focus? Jesus should be at the center of everything we do. As Pastor Chris will warn in today’s message, if the production value is a higher priority than the clarity of the Gospel, we’ve lost the plot and placed an experience over God.

Mark 7:1-23 Part 1

Tue, 07 Oct 2025 10:00:00 +0000

For many who’ve grown up in the Church, as well as some other religious traditions, God is a distant, harsh judge. He’s not seen as a loving Father and Creator. They may even sing songs that describe Him that way, but in their hearts, they fear His judgment and wrath for their failures. As Pastor Chris will encourage us today, that isn’t the heart of God for His Creation. He loves us dearly and sent His own beloved Son, Jesus, to suffer unimaginable pain so that we could be made right with Him.

Nothing Normal Part 2

Mon, 06 Oct 2025 10:00:00 +0000

I know I’ve been there. If you’ve ever been out on the water battling a headwind, it can be frightening. No matter how hard you struggle, the boat seems to be going nowhere, and you wonder if you’ll ever make it back to land. As Pastor Chris points out in today’s message, as the disciples struggled against the storm, even as experienced fishermen, they felt intense fear. Then Jesus stepped into the storm with them, and He wants to do the same for us as we struggle through this life.

Nothing Normal Part 1

Fri, 03 Oct 2025 10:00:00 +0000

Do you ever read these accounts of the disciples and just question whether Jesus really made the best choices when He called them? All kidding aside, these guys just seem dense at times. As Pastor Chris will point out in today’s message, even with all the knowledge we have about who Jesus is and what He accomplished, we can be just as thickheaded when it comes to following Him. Our hardest trial is nothing for Him to overcome, and we need to step out in faith, trusting in His promises.

Mark 6:1-29 Part 2

Thu, 02 Oct 2025 10:00:00 +0000

One of the most valuable commodities on Earth is something that is entirely intangible. It’s not gold, it’s not cryptocurrency, or the power of friendship. It’s trust. The amount of trust in any relationship will be a key factor in determining the success of any endeavor. In the military, soldiers must trust their commander to keep them alive. In football, players must trust their coach to lead them to victory. Today, Pastor Chris explores how our trust in God can impact the success of our work.

Mark 6:1-29 Part 1

Wed, 01 Oct 2025 10:00:00 +0000

Wait a minute, so Jesus went to church? Yes, that’s correct! Even though Jesus was absolutely perfect and didn’t need to learn more about God (since He is God!), He still set an example for us to follow centuries later. Jesus was all about spending time with His Heavenly Father, and what better place to do that than in the places in which God’s Word was taught? In today’s message, Pastor Chris challenges us to walk in line with Jesus’ call upon our lives, and to be followers of His example.

Mark 5 Part 3

Tue, 30 Sep 2025 10:00:00 +0000

There are countless stories of parents doing incredible things for their children – lifting cars, fighting off wild animals, standing up against injustice, or working multiple jobs, just to make sure they can buy them Christmas gifts. The love of a parent knows no bounds, and Jairus (juh-eye-rus) was no exception. Today, as Pastor Chris expounds this text, put yourself in Jairus’s shoes; how far would you go? What would you surrender to save the life of your child? Consider how Jairus’ humility might be an example to follow.

Mark 5 Part 2

Mon, 29 Sep 2025 10:00:00 +0000

During the Civil Rights movement of the 1950’s and 60’s, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. made many enemies. He faced rejection, persecution, hardship, and eventually was killed for his work. It must also be noted that the work he did was just, righteous, and honorable, both to God and his fellow man. The Church will also face persecution and hatred – Jesus told Christians to expect as much. As you listen to Pastor Chris today, do not let this discourage you! Rather, let it be a reminder that you get to be part of God’s story!

Mark 5 Part 1

Fri, 26 Sep 2025 10:00:00 +0000

God is the same yesterday, today, and tomorrow. Songs are sung of God’s faithfulness and His follow-through on promises He has made. It’s no different here, where Jesus promises the disciples they will go across the Sea of Galilee, yet the Bible tells how the disciples doubted and feared when trouble arose. In today’s message, Pastor Chris explores how fear of the unknown is often the antithesis of trusting in the Lord. Examine your own life; would you say it is marked by trust, or ruled by fear?

Mark 4:35-41 Part 2

Thu, 25 Sep 2025 10:00:00 +0000

Life is full of hardship. I have a friend who is going through a season of intense marital strife, and in the thick of it, the common questions he's had are, “God, do you care? Are you seeing what I’m going through?” These questions are difficult to wrestle with. In today’s message, Pastor Chris presents these moments of darkness in a new light. Just like that boat on the Galilean Sea, God has your situation in His hands. The question is not if He cares for you, but rather, are you looking at how He has cared for you?

Mark 4:35-41 Part 1

Wed, 24 Sep 2025 10:00:00 +0000

Growing up, I took piano lessons, and I always hated practicing. I loved playing recitals – the performance was thrilling, and being cheered on felt wonderful. But if I had never practiced, those recitals would’ve been much less rewarding! Now, imagine constantly practicing, but never performing. Sure, you’d never fail, but you’d also never know if you could’ve succeeded. Today, Pastor Chris shares that Jesus doesn’t want you to simply rehearse; He encourages you to apply what He’s taught you on the stage of life!

He Said Part 2

Tue, 23 Sep 2025 10:00:00 +0000

Farmers know better than anyone that you cannot harvest what you do not plant. Jesus used agricultural parallels many times in his ministry, because it would have been well understood in that time. Perhaps “No pain, no gain” is better for our modern-day fitness programs and sports culture, but nonetheless, it applies to us! In today’s message, Pastor Chris will break down Jesus’ parables in Mark and provide helpful context - so we can better understand and apply these lessons to our lives here and now.

He Said Part 1

Mon, 22 Sep 2025 10:00:00 +0000

Every parent’s favorite question starts with 1 word: “Why?” Children are so unabashedly inquisitive about the world around them because they truly do not understand how many things work. Some things are simpler than others to understand. “Why do I need to take a bath?” is much easier than “Why did my aunt get cancer?” In today’s message, Pastor Chris addresses how we can understand some of Jesus’ parables, which he often structured around questions – some more difficult than others.

Mark 4:1-20 Part 2

Fri, 19 Sep 2025 10:00:00 +0000

Do you remember studying for a test in high school? Maybe you passed it on a wing and a prayer, but usually you put in the time. You write your notes, look them over, and prepare for the test. This shows that when you spend time preparing, you retain what you learn. The same applies in your walk with God. When you read His Word, you can’t just glance and hope you understood it. You need to stay in the Word consistently. Today, Pastor Chris reminds you that spending time in God’s Word helps you grow deeper with Him.

Mark 4:1-20 Part 1

Thu, 18 Sep 2025 10:00:00 +0000

If you’ve ever planted anything, you know growth doesn’t happen overnight. Every seed begins its journey deep in the dirt, hidden from view. The amazing thing is that before anything emerges above the surface, the seed is already working its way through the soil. But what fuels this growth besides good soil? Water. Just as a plant needs sustenance to thrive, you need spiritual nourishment found in the Word of God. Today, Pastor Chris reminds you that when you plant the seed of faith, God nurtures it.

Mark 3:7-24 Part 2

Wed, 17 Sep 2025 10:00:00 +0000

Sometimes, when we look at where we come from or what we’ve done, we ask ourselves, “Can we even change?” But today, Pastor Chris is here to say: yes, you can. But not by yourself. In today’s message, Pastor Chris reminds you that by yourself, there is only pain and destruction. But when you place your faith in Jesus Christ and allow Him to work in your life, you can do all things through His name. All you have to do is let Him into your heart, and watch Him change your life forever.

Mark 3:7-24 Part 1

Tue, 16 Sep 2025 10:00:00 +0000

You know what’s the most beautiful thing about the past? It stays there. Many people hold on to their baggage until it weighs them down, but that’s not what it’s like to follow Jesus. He sees what you’re carrying, and instead of brushing you aside or dismissing what you feel, He offers you a hand. That’s why in today’s message, Pastor Chris wants you to know that with Jesus Christ, you can be free of who you were and what you went through and become the person Jesus wants you to be.

Mark 2:18-3:6 Part 2

Mon, 15 Sep 2025 10:00:00 +0000

Have you ever been to a church where the pastor delivers a great message, one that truly resonates with you, yet there isn’t a single scripture in the entire sermon? That reflects the reality in many churches around the world, where charlatans and motivational speakers stand behind the pulpit, preaching from the flesh rather than from the Bible. In today’s message, Pastor Chris urges you to stay biblically grounded and to ensure that the church you attend is spiritually nourishing you with the Word of God.

Mark 2:18-3:6 Part 1

Fri, 12 Sep 2025 10:00:00 +0000

Have you ever been to a church that tells you that you need to change before coming to Jesus? That’s religion, and religion tells you that you need to be perfect before you even walk through the door. Some religions might even tell you that you don’t have to change at all. But in today’s message, Pastor Chris wants you to know that there are no prerequisites to enter a relationship with Jesus. Jesus invites you to come as you are. Let Christ into your life, and allow His Word to change your heart.

Mark 2:1-17 Part 2

Thu, 11 Sep 2025 10:00:00 +0000

We all have those days where nothing goes right. Maybe we argue with a loved one, or do something we regret. We’re human, and everyone faces hardships, regardless of whether we're Christian or not. But as Christians, we know we’re never alone. And you don’t have to be alone either. In today’s message, Pastor Chris wants you to know that Jesus loves you. Jesus loves you so much that He died for your sins, so that all who believe in Him would have everlasting life. All you have to do is let Him in.

Mark 2:1-17 Part 1

Wed, 10 Sep 2025 10:00:00 +0000

Have you ever been in a situation where you were placed outside your comfort zone? Maybe you find it daunting to speak to new people, especially when the topic could be seen as controversial. But when you think about what it means to be saved by Jesus Christ, and how He saves, doesn’t that outweigh the fear? Doesn’t that make it worth sharing the Word of God? In today’s message, Pastor Chris encourages you to step out of your comfort zone and share the good news with all who will listen.

Mark 1:32-45 Part 2

Tue, 09 Sep 2025 10:00:00 +0000

Are you a night owl or an early bird? I’m not going to say one is better than the other, but it’s obvious that Jesus was definitely a bit of both! Now perhaps it’s not fair to compare to Him, seeing He’s perfect and we’re not, but that said, there’s a lot to learn from His example! Today, Pastor Chris teaches through Mark chapter 1 about the importance of setting aside quiet time with the Lord. Perhaps it’s worth going to bed a little earlier, so you can get up & spend an extra few minutes with God in the morning!

Mark 1:21-32 Part 1

Mon, 08 Sep 2025 10:00:00 +0000

Whether it’s work, sports, or a school decathlon, there’s a catchphrase I’m sure you’ve heard - “Teamwork makes the dream work!” Today in Mark chapter 1, Pastor Chris gives us an up-close look at the team Jesus is building around him. While others may have doubted His picks thus far – mostly a bunch of fishermen from Galilee – no one could argue the results! Come along on this journey and see how Jesus takes this ragtag group of men and builds them into the “dream team” of the early church!

Mark 1:16-20 Part 2

Fri, 05 Sep 2025 10:00:00 +0000

I despise my alarm clock. I frequently find myself hitting snooze, waiting an extra five minutes, and trying to wring the last bit of warmth from my bed before rising for the day. I’m reluctant to leave the comfort of the place I am in. However, the book of Mark shows us that Jesus' disciples did not hesitate to follow Him. They were not reluctant. They didn’t hit the snooze button and ask Jesus for five minutes. Join Pastor Chris today as he teaches on the importance of following Jesus when He calls us.

Mark 1:16-20 Part 1

Thu, 04 Sep 2025 10:00:00 +0000

Disney’s 1993 movie, “Cool Runnings,” is a loose retelling of the 1988 Olympic Jamaican bobsled team. It’s a wonderful film about a coach who assembles an unlikely team, despite numerous doubts and difficulties. Similarly, Jesus takes an unlikely group of men and builds them into a highly effective team. Jesus looks, not at who they were, but who they could be; he doesn’t see their position, but rather, their potential. Join us today, as Pastor Chris slides through the book of Mark (bobsled not included)!

Mark 1:2-15, John 1:45 Part 3

How often do you let your car stay all dirty and covered in mud? I love taking my messy car to the car wash for a thorough scrub, making it shine like it just rolled off the lot! In a similar vein, you were seen as perfect in God's eyes, but then sin entered the world, leaving you all drenched in filth. But here’s the thing—God didn’t just leave you hanging. Today, Pastor Chris tells you God's incredible master plan for your salvation. He wiped the slate clean for you once more and offered you a fresh start!

Mark 1:2-15 Part 2

Tue, 02 Sep 2025 10:00:00 +0000

John the Baptist had a special mission when he came into the world: to spread the word and get everyone ready for the arrival of the Messiah, who we know as Jesus! Hey, do you notice any similarities between you and John? Today, Pastor Chris is inviting you to spread the good news to everyone in your circle! Just like John the Baptist, you've been handpicked by God to spread the wonderful news of the gospel to those around you. Feel free to share your story about how Jesus has transformed your life!

Mark 1:2-15 Part 1

Mon, 01 Sep 2025 10:00:00 +0000

Have you checked out how the president's concierge makes their grand entrance? The roads are shut down, with all the police on duty out there. It conveys that the most significant person in the country is about to arrive. In today’s message, Pastor Chris talks about the message that John the Baptist shared with the people of Israel. When John arrived in the world, he was on a mission to get the minds and hearts of the people prepared for the coming of the Messiah. He was the concierge for Jesus Christ!

Mark 1:1, Acts 15:36-41 Part 2

Fri, 29 Aug 2025 10:00:00 +0000

When you slip up or make an error, it’s only natural that the world expects you to take responsibility for it. But there's always a possibility for a fresh start. Similarly, there might be moments when you stumble and find yourself giving in to those tempting urges. So, does that mean God won't find a way to use you for His purpose again? Today, Pastor Chris is spreading some good news: your Creator is all about giving second chances. What truly matters to God is the sincerity of your heart when you seek forgiveness!

Mark 1:1, Jonah 3:1 Part 1

Closing Time Part 3

Wed, 27 Aug 2025 10:00:00 +0000

If you turn on the news, what do you see? Armies fighting in the Middle East? Famines affecting people around the world? Information spreading at an astonishing rate? These are not mere coincidences; they are prophecies from the Bible that were written over 2,000 years ago and are now unfolding before your eyes. In today’s message, Pastor Chris encourages you to seek understanding of the events happening in the world by looking to God and His Word. Allow God to reveal His intended message for you and the world.

Closing Time Part 2

Tue, 26 Aug 2025 10:00:00 +0000

In the midst of life's hardships and struggles, isn’t it comforting to know that we have a home to return to? As followers of Jesus, we look forward to being with Him for eternity, knowing that there will come a day when we will no longer feel the pain of sin. In today's message, Pastor Chris reminds us that this world is not our true home; rather, our real home is with God in heaven. If you truly seek salvation, ask Jesus Christ to come into your life and allow Him to meet you where you are. All you have to do is seek Jesus.

Closing Time Part 1

Mon, 25 Aug 2025 10:00:00 +0000

Did you know that over 56 percent of Americans use AI? Among people under thirty, that number rises to 76 percent. The world is evolving rapidly, and in today's society, it's common to rely on these tools. However, what happens when you place your trust in man-made resources instead of God? In today’s message, Pastor Chris reminds you that as Christians and followers of God, your trust should be rooted in Him alone, not in wealth or technology, but in His Son, Jesus Christ.

Turbulent Times Part 2

Fri, 22 Aug 2025 10:00:00 +0000

In today’s message, Pastor Chris urges you to share your faith, as people now more than ever are under a false sense of security. They may believe they have a lifetime to reconcile with God or think they don’t need a relationship with Him at all. However, this couldn’t be further from the truth. The Word of God teaches that the birth pains the world will experience won’t ease up; instead, they will intensify until the events in the prophetic calendar come to pass. Now is the time to get right with God.

Turbulent Times Part 1

Thu, 21 Aug 2025 10:00:00 +0000

Have you ever heard someone on social media or in your church claim that the Old Testament no longer applies to Christians? In today’s message, Pastor Chris emphasizes that this belief is far from the truth. While Christians are not saved by the Law but through the grace of Jesus Christ, it does not mean that the Old Testament is irrelevant. The Old Testament contains rich history, beautiful poetry, prophetic messages, and life lessons that remain applicable to your everyday life. Let God lead you through His whole Word.

Heavenly Warfare Part 3

Wed, 20 Aug 2025 10:00:00 +0000

Have you ever had one of those days when you wondered when your suffering would end? It’s difficult to navigate life, especially when you can’t see the light at the end of the tunnel. But that’s where Jesus comes in. Jesus reminds you that you’re never alone; even in the darkest times, He is the light in the emptiness and a beacon of hope when the storm feels unending. Today, Pastor Chris encourages you to place your faith in Jesus Christ. Even when you feel all alone, He will always be with you.

Heavenly Warfare Part 2

Tue, 19 Aug 2025 10:00:00 +0000

If we take a look at the world around us, what would we see? Pain, suffering, and confusion—these are all byproducts of sin. However, by the grace of God, He paid the price for everyone who accepts Him as their Lord and Savior. Sometimes, in our walk with God, we may forget that we were once in the same situation: living life without Christ. That’s why, in this message, Pastor Chris reminds us that every person struggles with sin and encourages us to have a heart for the lost, rather than looking down on them.

Heavenly Warfare Part 1

Mon, 18 Aug 2025 10:00:00 +0000

When the days are long and the seasons of hardship seem never-ending, it's comforting to know that you are not alone. God hears your prayers and your cries, and He sees you. That’s why, in today's message, Pastor Chris wants you to understand that no matter what season of life you are in, God will always be there to hear and be with you. When you face spiritual warfare and feel like your back is against the wall, you can trust that God will guide you through every battle and every storm.

70 Weeks of Daniel Part 6

Fri, 15 Aug 2025 10:00:00 +0000

It's a surreal moment in life when you realize that everyone is on one of two paths. One path is wide and leads to eternal separation from God; it is the road that most people follow. The other path is narrow and leads to everlasting life- a road that few ever find. In today’s message, Pastor Chris encourages you to share the Word of God with the world, to let them know that they’re on the wide road, but also that it’s not too late. That with Jesus Christ, they can follow Him on the path that leads to everlasting life.

70 Weeks of Daniel Part 5

Thu, 14 Aug 2025 10:00:00 +0000

We live in a world that claims to embrace diverse ideas, yet there's a strong opposition to Jesus Christ. Why is it that when it comes to Jesus Christ, the world draws a line in the sand? Is there a truth that the world knows, yet denies because it goes against their way of living? In today’s message, Pastor Chris emphasizes that, as Christians, there may come a day when we face persecution just as Jesus did. Despite this, we know that one day, every knee will bow and every tongue will confess that Jesus is Lord.

70 Weeks of Daniel Part 4

Wed, 13 Aug 2025 10:00:00 +0000

In our walk with God, we can let our expectations get in the way of bigger things. We say, “I’ll pray about it,” yet when God opens a door, we hesitate because the opportunity isn’t exactly what we pictured. This mindset was evident among the people of Israel when Jesus entered Jerusalem; they had expectations of what He would do instead of recognizing His true purpose. Today, Pastor Chris encourages you to seize the opportunities God gives you and align your expectations with His promises.

70 Weeks of Daniel Part 3

Tue, 12 Aug 2025 10:00:00 +0000

There are some people who love to give functional gifts. They’ll see a need in their friend’s life, and hand-pick something that will help them overcome that need. Well, Pastor Chris teaches you today that Jesus is the ultimate functional gift-giver, because He has given you the Holy Spirit! In this time you have on Earth, while you’re not face-to-face with Him, you have the Holy Spirit in your heart to help guide you through life’s difficult times. He is there to lead you along until you’re in God’s presence in Heaven.

70 Weeks of Daniel Part 2

Mon, 11 Aug 2025 10:00:00 +0000

As human beings, you and I are unable to resist the temptation of sin in this life. There are so many obstacles that the enemy has put in our way that we will inevitably mess up at some point or another. But Pastor Chris reminds us that we have hope in the Holy Spirit! While we are on this Earth, we will still have to deal with the presence of sinful behavior all around us, but the Holy Spirit gives us the strength to resist and even overcome the evil temptations. We have all we need in the Holy Spirit.

70 Weeks of Daniel Part 1

Fri, 08 Aug 2025 10:00:00 +0000

If you spend a significant amount of time living in a different culture, you will start to lose some elements of the culture you grew up with. Just ask any foreign missionary, or anyone who emigrated from a different culture! Your new culture becomes a blend of where you are and where you came from. But Pastor Chris reminds us that spending time in the presence of God is something that transcends cultural barriers. The style of worship may differ, but it is the same God that our hearts crave.

A Powerful Prayer Part 2

Thu, 07 Aug 2025 10:00:00 +0000

What kind of price tag can you put on salvation? How much money does it cost to erase the debt of a lifetime of sin? The fact is that not even the combined riches of the entire human race could buy one person’s freedom from the penalty of sin. But Pastor Chris reminds you today that God sent His Son, Jesus, to give Himself on the cross. His gift of salvation is free to all those who humble themselves and call on His name. When you call to Him, He answers your prayer and comes to your rescue.

A Powerful Prayer Part 1

Wed, 06 Aug 2025 10:00:00 +0000

The best things in life take time! In today’s world, people want things to be quick and easy, and so they’ll take shortcuts to get that instant gratification. But when we try to apply that mentality to Scripture, we tend to let the meaning of the words wash over us, just to check off a spiritual box for the day. Pastor Chris reminds us today to spend real time in God’s Word, not to just consume it like a quick meal, but to savor and enjoy the time we spend in His presence! We shouldn’t take His Word for granted.

A Hairy Situation Part 2

Tue, 05 Aug 2025 10:00:00 +0000

Listen… all this fancy theology with words like premillennialism versus amillennialism, or Calvinism versus Arminianism… they can be fun topics to discuss with your pastor, but don’t let them get in the way of what’s truly important. In today’s message, Pastor Chris teaches that God made the important bits of the Christian faith incredibly easy, so you can tell others about the Gospel without all the fancy theological words. Christ lived a perfect life, died for their sins, rose again on the third day, and is coming back again.

A Hairy Situation Part 1

Mon, 04 Aug 2025 10:00:00 +0000

To quote the A-Team’s Colonel John “Hannibal” Smith… “I love it when a plan comes together.” Many times, we create plans down to the finest detail, but when it comes to executing them, something always goes awry, causing us to have to pivot. Today, Pastor Chris teaches that while you may not be able to execute your plans well, God always perfectly implements His. Whether it’s the spread of the Greek language or the construction of the Roman road system, God’s plan always comes together.

Beastly World, Glorious Future Part 2

Fri, 01 Aug 2025 10:00:00 +0000

It’s much easier to jump out of a plane when you know which bag is the parachute and which is the pilot’s personal belongings. When you know the outcome, you have less to worry about. In today’s message, Pastor Chris teaches that when it comes to your faith, you should know the outcome… Jesus wins, and you get to be with Him forever. However, there are people in your life who still can’t tell one bag from the other. It’s probably wise if you help them figure it out before it’s too late.

Beastly World, Glorious Future Part 1

Thu, 31 Jul 2025 10:00:00 +0000

Have you ever watched a TV series until you had to wait for the next season, and then by the time the next season is out, you forgot everything you’d seen so far? When you rewatched the older seasons, did you notice the number of details and foreshadowing hidden in plain sight? In today’s message, Pastor Chris teaches that the Bible is full of foreshadowing, and it all points to Jesus. You’re lucky to be on the other side of Jesus’s life to see the Old Testament’s foreshadowing come to fruition.

A Steadfast Man Part 2

Wed, 30 Jul 2025 10:00:00 +0000

Do you remember the day you were saved? For some, it might have been a frightening moment as you placed all your trust in Jesus. But can you imagine what your life would be like if you got saved and then isolated yourself in the middle of nowhere until the rapture? Jesus calls you not to hide from the world, but to engage with it, to spread the gospel, and to make disciples. Today, Pastor Chris encourages you not to hide your faith but to share it with those around you. You’re an ambassador of Christ - don’t hide your faith!

A Steadfast Man Part 1

Tue, 29 Jul 2025 10:00:00 +0000

Have you ever felt like the things you do in life have become a chore? As if each task is merely a part of a big checklist? When people feel this way, it often impacts not just one area of their lives, but every aspect—including their relationship with Jesus. Before you know it, reading your Bible or attending church can start to feel like just another item to check off your list. But today, Pastor Chris reminds you that spiritual growth isn't about completing a to-do list; it’s about deepening your relationship with Jesus.

Party Crasher Part 2

Mon, 28 Jul 2025 10:00:00 +0000

Throughout our walk with Christ, we often find ourselves doing things we may not want to do. For example, we might give someone a ride home after church or pay for a friend’s lunch when they forget their wallet. But, if good deeds alone could secure our place in heaven, wouldn’t everyone be saved? In today’s message, Pastor Chris emphasizes that your actions do not earn favor with God; rather, it is the grace you receive from Him that inspires you to act. Allow Jesus to enter your heart, and let Him work in you.

Party Crasher Part 1

Fri, 25 Jul 2025 10:00:00 +0000

We live in a world that glorifies party culture, treating each day like it’s the last night on earth. Many wonder, “If the world isn’t ending tomorrow, why not live as I please?” Unfortunately, this mindset is also present in some churches, with people believing they can postpone their relationship with God. But what if His return is sooner than we expect? Today, Pastor Chris emphasizes the urgency of repentance and surrender. With the world's direction, time may be shorter than we think, so now is the time to choose God.

The Chopping Block Part 2

Thu, 24 Jul 2025 10:00:00 +0000

Have you ever reflected on your younger years and thought, "If only I had known then what I know now, I would have made different choices"? Sometimes, you follow a path and don’t realize its destination until you look back at where you started. That’s where God comes in; He gives you the freedom to choose your own way, whether to follow His wisdom or to face the challenges of the world. Today, Pastor Chris reminds you that God will always meet you where you are and guide you toward where you need to be.

The Chopping Block Part 1

Wed, 23 Jul 2025 10:00:00 +0000

Have you ever realized that you made a mistake but found it difficult to admit? That’s pride holding you back. While it’s natural to feel proud when your children excel or when you achieve your fitness goals, pride can also blind you to deeper truths. It may lead you to think, “Why do I need God? Haven’t I done enough on my own?” This mindset creates distance between you and God. That’s why Pastor Chris encourages you to embrace humility, not only in your daily life but also in your relationship with God.

Bow or Burn Part 3

Tue, 22 Jul 2025 10:00:00 +0000

If someone were to ask you where you would go after this life, what would you say? Would you believe that there is nothing, or that you would be reborn based on your past choices? Many people think they will go to heaven simply by being good, but what if just one choice mattered? Sin affects everyone, and everyone’s born into it. That’s why Jesus paid the price for your sin—because only He could. So today, Pastor Chris encourages you to give your life to Jesus and allow Him to give you His grace.

Bow or Burn Part 2

Mon, 21 Jul 2025 10:00:00 +0000

In a world that often prioritizes instant gratification, we sometimes overlook the fact that certain situations are beyond our control. When we pray to God for something that He alone can determine and receive a "no," we may find ourselves placing blame on Him. But today, Pastor Chris encourages us to recognize that God is sovereign, regardless of how our problems and circumstances turn out. Instead of focusing solely on our desired outcomes, we should seek alignment with God's will in our lives.

Bow or Burn Part 1

Fri, 18 Jul 2025 10:00:00 +0000

If you’re like me, you’ve probably noticed how much the world has changed in the past twenty years. It wasn’t that long ago when not having the internet, air conditioning, or even a personal cellphone was the norm. Nowadays, it’s easy to embrace new trends and conveniences simply because everyone else is doing the same. But what happens when society urges you to abandon Jesus? Today, Pastor Chris encourages you to stand firm in your faith and focus on the teachings found in the Word of God.

Crushing Kingdoms Part 2

Thu, 17 Jul 2025 10:00:00 +0000

As each day passes, more evidence emerges of how lost and broken our world has become. The pursuits people often choose do not lead to the peace and contentment they are seeking. In his message today, Pastor Chris emphasizes that the only solution to the problems we face lies in a relationship with Jesus. The world needs to know Jesus, every person needs and longs for that relationship, and it’s up to us to tell them. The urgency to reach a lost and broken world has never been greater.

Crushing Kingdoms Part 1

Wed, 16 Jul 2025 10:00:00 +0000

In a world that seems to be spinning out of control, it can be challenging to believe that God is involved in our everyday lives. In his message today, Pastor Chris assures us that God, who is the source of all wisdom and power, is still in control of everything that happens in our world. He still gives wisdom to the wise and knowledge to the scholar. He removes kings and sets up other kings. The God of all creation is the One who changes times and seasons. He is the God who is still in control.

Camp Babylon Part 2

Tue, 15 Jul 2025 10:00:00 +0000

There isn’t much attention paid to a person who displays true conviction and moral belief about the way they live. More attention is given to those who lack a moral compass. We live in a fallen world where it is acceptable to cheat on taxes, exaggerate about a product's quality to make a sale, or lie to cover up the truth. In his message today, Pastor Chris describes the sincere conviction displayed by Daniel and his friends. They stuck to their convictions and received favor from God and man.

Camp Babylon Part 1

Mon, 14 Jul 2025 10:00:00 +0000

With each passing day, we hear of more and more turmoil, confusion, and destruction coming from every part of the world. In his message today, Pastor Chris reminds us of a time when Israel was in total disarray and being taken over by foreign regimes. All forms of idolatry, evil, perversion, and shedding of innocent blood were taking place. It sounds like something we hear on every news channel today. When people turn their backs on God, confusion and disorder will always fill the void created.

Jonah 3-4 Part 3

Fri, 11 Jul 2025 10:00:00 +0000

So often, we look to the latest and greatest toys to bring us joy and satisfaction… a new phone, a new house, a new truck, or a new job. The problem is that when one hole is patched, another one appears. In today’s message, Pastor Chris teaches that you can’t rely on the world to bring you joy. True joy comes only from Jesus and the hope that He brings with Him. True joy celebrates Jesus’s work on the cross when He died so that you could live. No toy in this world could ever come close to that!

Jonah 3-4 Part 2

Thu, 10 Jul 2025 10:00:00 +0000

Isn’t that truly incredible? God knows not only how to show His power, but also how to show His power to specific groups of people. In today’s message, Pastor Chris teaches that God will use a variety of tactics to speak to people, and the way that He speaks to you may not look the same as how He speaks to your mayor, your neighbor, or even your spouse. As you study the book of Jonah, what’s the Ninevah in your life? What has God called you to do that causes you to run in the opposite direction?

Jonah 3-4 Part 1

Wed, 09 Jul 2025 10:00:00 +0000

What year was your city established? Oh, and which animal has a stronger bite force, a crocodile or a lion? Maybe after today’s message, you can Google it. People today have gotten so used to instant gratification when it comes to answers. Today, Pastor Chris teaches that maybe you’ve started treating God like Google, and Google like God. Do you find yourself getting mad at God when He doesn’t answer you right away? Or do you trust that God’s timing and wisdom are better than quick gratification?

Jonah 1-2 Part 2

Tue, 08 Jul 2025 10:00:00 +0000

A glass prism is a truly fascinating object. When you take the prism and shine a pure, white light through it, it will break the light into various wavelengths that we see as different colors. One simple light becomes scattered into many hues. In today’s message, Pastor Chris teaches that Scripture is like a prism. It takes the words and splits them into multiple meanings. As you study Jonah, you will see how every step of his journey foreshadows Jesus Christ’s death, burial, and resurrection.

Jonah 1-2 Part 1

Mon, 07 Jul 2025 10:00:00 +0000

Remember back when you were a child and you had a dream job? Maybe you wanted to be a professional baseball player or an astronaut. Now look around… are you doing what you dreamed what you would be doing as a child? Today, Pastor Chris teaches that sometimes in life, you end up in places you didn’t expect, just like Jonah never expected to be in the belly of a whale. When you consider your situation, are there any areas where you are running from the place that God called you to go?

Justice and Mercy Part 2

Fri, 04 Jul 2025 10:00:00 +0000

There are two types of people in this world: People who believe topics are black and white, and people who don’t. Maybe you agree with that, or perhaps you believe in a middle ground. Either way, it proves the point! Today, Pastor Chris teaches that whether you view the world as black and white, or you see it as some form of gray… there’s one line that truly divides people: those with God, and those against Him. When you look inside your own heart and mind, which side of that line do you stand on?

Justice and Mercy Part 1

Thu, 03 Jul 2025 10:00:00 +0000

When you turn on the news or hop onto your favorite social media app, it’s hard to avoid seeing opinions on the latest social justice topic. Topics of abortion, race, gender ideology, and more fill our news feeds. In today’s message, Pastor Chris teaches that this trend isn’t anything new. These tough topics have simple answers that the Prophet Amos spoke to the people of Israel. The message is this: God wants you to run from idols, ignore what society teaches, and return to what He teaches.

Feast of Purim Part 2

Wed, 02 Jul 2025 10:00:00 +0000

We live in a world that can be cruel and unfair, and because of this injustice, it often becomes second nature for everyone. However, God did not create this world for sin to run rampant and destroy His creation. When sin entered the world, God made a way to redeem us and restore our relationship with Him through His Son, Jesus Christ. In today’s message, Pastor Chris encourages you to give your life to Jesus and accept the gift of grace that He offers. All you have to do is place your faith in Him.

Feast of Purim Part 1

Tue, 01 Jul 2025 10:00:00 +0000

Did you know that there are only two books in the entire Bible that do not mention God? One of these books is the Song of Solomon, and the other is the book of Esther. You might be wondering, “If God isn’t mentioned, why are these books in the Bible?” Today, Pastor Christ explains that even though God is not explicitly mentioned in the book of Esther, His presence and influence are still evident. And as the events unfold, it becomes clear that God is with Esther as she navigates the path He has set before her.

The King Has Plans Part 2

Mon, 30 Jun 2025 10:00:00 +0000

Imagine yourself traveling down a long, dark road in the dead of night, with no light and no direction. For some people, this is a journey they undertake throughout their entire lives, hoping to adjust to the conditions and find their way. However, that is not the path God intends for you. He wants to be by your side on that road, illuminating the way ahead and guiding you to where you need to be, rather than having you stumble in the darkness. Today, Pastor Chris invites you to ask God to light the path in your life.

The King Has Plans Part 1

Fri, 27 Jun 2025 10:00:00 +0000

One of the most amazing things about God is that He gave us free will. God created us to have a relationship with Him, but more importantly, He desires for us to choose Him willingly. In today's message, Pastor Chris emphasizes that God does not want us to spend eternity separated from Him. That’s why He sent His Son, Jesus, to take our place on the cross. We should have been the ones bearing the consequences of our sins, but out of His love, Jesus chose to take our place.

Flip the Script Part 2

Thu, 26 Jun 2025 10:00:00 +0000

If you look at the world's population, you'll see that over 8 billion people are living on this earth. Every person who has ever lived shares one thing in common: sin. It is part of our human nature to lie in uncomfortable situations, to steal when we think it’s harmless, and to harbor hatred toward those who have wronged us. These sins create a barrier between us and God. But God understood this, and that’s why He sent His Son to the cross to pay for our sins. Today, Pastor Chris encourages you to invite Jesus into your life.

Flip the Script Part 1

Wed, 25 Jun 2025 10:00:00 +0000

Many of us were taught to mind our own business and keep a low profile, but what happens when our voices are silenced? In today’s message, Pastor Chris shares the story of Esther from the Bible. Instead of remaining silent, Esther bravely advocated for her people, trusting in God's guidance. Her courage inspires us to speak out boldly for our beliefs, especially when they are threatened. Most importantly, it reminds us to seek God's help when we need to stand up for ourselves.

A Call To Courage Part 2

Tue, 24 Jun 2025 10:00:00 +0000

Isn’t it amazing to know that we have a God who loves us and genuinely desires a relationship with us? He wants to be involved in every area of our lives. In today’s message, Pastor Chris invites you to give your heart to Jesus Christ. When you do, His promises are not just empty words; they are guarantees for your life. Jesus will guide you, keep you safe, love you, and provide you with His grace. All you have to do is reach out to Him, and He promises to meet you wherever you are in your life.

A Call To Courage Part 1

Mon, 23 Jun 2025 10:00:00 +0000

When you look at the news, you will notice that many world leaders are expressing hostility toward Israel and even calling for its destruction. This is happening because there is a force at work behind the scenes attempting to thwart God's plan, and his name is Satan. But in today's message, Pastor Chris emphasizes that God already has the victory over sin, the world, and evil. There’s nothing the enemy can do that can prevent God from fulfilling His promises, especially when it comes to His family and His chosen nation!

A Tale of Two Queens Part 2

Fri, 20 Jun 2025 10:00:00 +0000

Have you ever heard someone say, “I don’t like to talk about politics”? There’s a good reason for that: people often have strong and differing opinions on the subject. Everyone believes that their viewpoint can lead to a better world through legislation. But the real issue goes beyond politics; it stems from a problem of sin. Changing laws will not eliminate sin if a person's heart does not change. Today, Pastor Chris reminds you that there is only one person who can transform your heart, and His name is Jesus.

Nehemiah 13, Matthew 5 Part 2

Wed, 18 Jun 2025 10:00:00 +0000

Just like Solomon, there are times when you can love someone so intensely that you might overlook their lack of faith in Jesus. So, you might believe you can lead them to your faith, but really, how often does that actually pan out for you? In fact, they often steer you away from trusting in God. In today’s message, Pastor Chris shares some thoughts on why it's essential to seek a life partner who truly fears God. When you tie the knot following God’s blueprint, you can be sure your marriage is set up for success!

Even if you stumble along the way, with a little help from God’s grace and forgiveness, you can bounce back stronger than ever!

Mon, 16 Jun 2025 10:00:00 +0000

Revival Through Serving Part 2

Thu, 12 Jun 2025 10:00:00 +0000

You know, there's something interesting about human nature: whenever we accomplish something significant, we often feel the urge to share it with others, hoping to soak up a little praise in return. It's a bummer, but we often find ourselves doing the same when it comes to serving God as well! Today, Pastor Chris encourages you to serve God with sincerity and a little secrecy. It's really not necessary for anyone to be aware of your actions for God. Rest assured, there's a wonderful reward waiting for you up in heaven!

Wed, 11 Jun 2025 10:00:00 +0000

Today, Pastor Chris shares a heartfelt reminder to dedicate yourself to serving God wholeheartedly. Choosing to step away from the world and embrace a life of sacrifice for God shows just how deep your love for Him runs!

Revival Through Obedience Part 2

Tue, 10 Jun 2025 10:00:00 +0000

The Bible says, “Where two or more are gathered, God is with them.” When you gather with other believers, you are the church! Today, Pastor Chris says you are the temple of the Lord. This means you hold a lot of responsibility, but don’t worry! God has given you all the tools to follow through and live up to this expectation. The Bible gives you everything you need to live a life God desires for you. He loves you and wants you to glorify Him in all. Trust Him and allow Him to lead your life today!

Revival Through Obedience Part 1

Mon, 09 Jun 2025 10:00:00 +0000

Have you ever given your whole heart to something? Maybe it was a sports team or an assignment for school. Today, Pastor Chris says the people in Nehemiah gave all they had to the Lord. They were saying, “Here am I, use me, God.” How often do you get into that heart posture with the Lord? God desires you to be wholly His. He wants to use you for His glory, which means you must be ready to say yes to anything He asks of you! Let God use you for His glory and watch as your life becomes purposeful.

Revival Through Prayer Part 3

Fri, 06 Jun 2025 10:00:00 +0000

God’s constantly working for your good, whether you ask for it or not. He loves you and wants what’s best for you! Today, Pastor Chris says we need to pray to God always, not just when we need Him. It’s easy to forget God’s faithfulness in the good times, but you must constantly remind yourself of His goodness and mercy in your life.

Revival Through Prayer Part 2

Thu, 05 Jun 2025 10:00:00 +0000

Have you ever been in a situation you didn’t understand? Maybe it was a trial that came out of nowhere, and you didn’t know why it was happening to you. Today, Pastor Chris says sometimes God will lead you to a place that makes no sense, so you can turn the corner and see He has a greater plan. He wants you to trust Him so He can lead you to what’s best for your life. Trusting God wholly doesn’t mean it’ll always be all sunshine and roses, but amidst the trials, you can have confidence that He’s in control.

Revival Through Prayer Part 1

Wed, 04 Jun 2025 10:00:00 +0000

Have you ever been around someone so arrogant that they couldn’t see past their own wrong? In today’s message, Pastor Chris says we must remember that we’re all sinners and not think we’re better than anyone. Jesus was humble to the point of death on a cross; because of this, you must be humble in your walk with the Lord. Everyone needs Jesus because of their sins. Remind yourself of the sacrifice He paid on the cross for your sins so that you can be humble amidst a world of sin and brokenness.

Revival Through Scripture Part 2

Tue, 03 Jun 2025 10:00:00 +0000

When we lift weights and they’re too heavy, we need someone to come in and help us lift them. Just like weights, our sins can weigh us down so much that we need someone to walk through it with us. Today, Pastor Chris says we can’t let our sin affect the way we think of God’s grace. He loves you and sent His Son for your sins. God wants you to trust and depend on Him so He can be the hand that lifts you out of the pit your sins created. Rejoice in His grace today and let Him make your burden lighter.

Discernment and Determination in the Midst of Distractions Part 2

Fri, 30 May 2025 10:00:00 +0000

Fear is an emotion that can control us if we’re not careful. It can cause us to think lies about ourselves and start to believe those thoughts in our head. Today, Pastor Chris says fear can cause us to question what people think about us, to the point where we don’t do anything. Can I let you in on a little secret? If you believe in God, you have nothing to fear. He gives you strength when you feel weak and hope when you feel hopeless. God is a God who is above all and gives you confidence amidst fear.

Discernment and Determination in the Midst of Distractions Part 1

Thu, 29 May 2025 10:00:00 +0000

Have you ever tried to build a Lego set without its instructions? The more pieces there are, the harder it is! Today, Pastor Chris says you must read scripture wholly because it’ll help you discern what’s from the Lord and what’s not. The Bible is your instruction manual for life. It’s not a rule book that you have to follow, but rather a way for you to live in a way that’s honoring and glorifying to Him. He loves you; that’s why He gave you this book! God is training you through the Bible to live for Him.

Purpose in Problems Part 2

Wed, 28 May 2025 10:00:00 +0000

If we’re to be perfectly honest, each and every one of us has something that absolutely angers us to no end. However, as believers and followers of Christ, it’s important that we ask ourselves whether or not that anger is righteous, or detrimental. In today’s message, Pastor Chris teaches that while it’s not always wrong to be angry, it’s important to reflect on why we’re angry. In his study, you’ll learn the importance of discerning between anger that God would agree with, or selfish and vain anger.

Purpose in Problems Part 1

Tue, 27 May 2025 10:00:00 +0000

As believers and followers of Christ, it’s often difficult for us to forget what we struggled with prior to our faith. If it’s an ongoing struggle, well, the struggle goes without saying. While some things can be a simple one-eighty, they might be a point of weakness for others. In today’s message, Pastor Chris discusses the importance of parameters and accountability. In his study, you’ll learn the importance of recognizing what might be a stumbling block in your life, and rooting it out accordingly.

The Ten Gates Part 2

Mon, 26 May 2025 10:00:00 +0000

When’s the last time you’ve taken a spiritual inventory? More importantly, when’s the last time you recognized the things that need to go and then relied on The Spirit to rid them from your walk? In today’s message, Pastor Chris reflects on the importance of regular reflection, confession, and repentance. In his study, you’ll learn that by regularly confessing with your mouth and receiving God’s faithful and just forgiveness, you’ll be sure to see growth in your walk with The Lord.

The Ten Gates Part 1

Fri, 23 May 2025 10:00:00 +0000

In today’s message, Pastor Chris will remind you of the importance of heeding the call to ministry after becoming a believer. In his study, you’ll learn that while it might not look the same as the next person, we’re no less called to minister.

Alone Together Part 2

Thu, 22 May 2025 10:00:00 +0000

We’re all prone to having insecurities about the way we talk, act, or look. It becomes even harder when you are a believer who has values that are opposite to what the world is telling you. It’s easy to become complacent and tell yourself you aren’t good enough to spread the good news. Other people might even ridicule you into believing that you aren’t worthy of being a disciple of Jesus. Today, Pastor Chris will encourage you that those are lies of the enemy. God wants to equip and empower you to be confident in His name.

Alone Together Part 1

Wed, 21 May 2025 10:00:00 +0000

Have you ever looked at your pastor and wondered, "How are they always so joyful and happy?" Why does it seem that they don’t have the same problems that I’m having? Today, Pastor Chris will remind you that everyone struggles with sin and hardships. It’s not that your pastor or leaders don’t struggle with things; they know how to handle those situations because they spend time in God’s word. When no one is around, they are praying and asking God for His wisdom and peace.

Burdens, Blessings, Battles Part 2

Tue, 20 May 2025 10:00:00 +0000

Do you know where everything good in your life comes from? You might think that your money comes from your job, or that your happiness stems from your relationships. Today, Pastor Chris will remind you that all of it comes from God. There isn’t anything in this life that wasn’t created or provided to you outside of God’s hand. He is the creator of the universe and everything in it. When Nehemiah won battles or gained glory, He didn’t credit other people. He gave the glory to the one and only God.

Burdens, Blessings, Battles Part 1

Mon, 19 May 2025 10:00:00 +0000

When was the last time you took a day to put down your phone, email, or favorite TV show and just spent some time with your thoughts? It’s so hard to put down any of these things when you live in a world that is driven by technology. You feel like you might miss out on something if you aren’t constantly checking Instagram. Today, Pastor Chris will remind you that sometimes it takes sitting in silence to hear from God. If you feel far from God, you might try silencing the notifications and taking some time to sit in His presence.

Tabernacle Glory Part 2

Fri, 16 May 2025 10:00:00 +0000

If someone’s ear is full of earwax and they can’t hear, they must first go in and take it out from the inside before thinking about anything else. Today, Pastor Chris says just like God built the Tabernacle from the inside out, He also cleans us from the inside out. When you become a believer, God must clean out the inside of your heart for you to be able to see the greater picture. What’s the “earwax” that’s stopping you from seeing the full glory of the Lord? It might be time to clean it out of your life and trust Jesus!

Tabernacle Glory Part 1

Thu, 15 May 2025 10:00:00 +0000

Everyone’s greedy in their own way. Today, Pastor Chris asks, “If God asked for your time or money, would you give it to Him?” Everyone has their own giftings and wealth. Are you willing to give up even the hardest things for the Lord? You should give back to Him because He’s given you everything. The things that you own already belong to God. When you think about giving back to the Lord, remind yourself that all you have is already His; you must give out of love for your Father, not out of obligation.

The Glow of Mo Part 2

Wed, 14 May 2025 10:00:00 +0000

It has been said that you’re the sum of your five closest friends. So, when you move away from friendships, your whole lifestyle and demeanor often change. Today, Pastor Chris says that as followers of Jesus, we must remain in Christ so we can constantly have His glowing presence in our lives. God wants a relationship with you, He wants you to trust Him fully. He deserves to be one of your five closest friends because He’s who you should be modeling your life after! Be near to Him and trust Him!

The Glow of Mo Part 1

Tue, 13 May 2025 10:00:00 +0000

Sometimes, we think the God of the Old Testament isn’t the same as the God of our time. Today, Pastor Chris says God is the same today as He was back then. He never changes! God’s a gracious and loving Father who looks out for His children. When you feel like you’re too far gone for God, remind yourself that He hasn’t changed His perception of you. God loves you and always will love you. He’s got good plans for your life and wants you to walk in His light so He can continually guide you through those plans.

The Presence of God Part 2

Mon, 12 May 2025 10:00:00 +0000

Sometimes, in your walk with the Lord, it can feel like He’s distant from you. In today’s message, Pastor Chris says Moses prayed the characteristics of God back to Him because he knew he needed closeness with his Father. If you’re feeling distant, start pleading with God just like Moses did. Ask Him to draw near and guide you. He’s a loving Father who listens to the prayers of His children. Put your full faith in Him and find comfort and peace in the nearness of your Lord and Savior.

The Presence of God Part 1

Fri, 09 May 2025 10:00:00 +0000

One of the biggest things humans seek is the feeling of security. We will go towards relationships, homes, or even our friends to find security. Today, Pastor Chris says even though we fall away, God’s always there to protect us. He wants you to drive out the things that are not from Him. What’s something in your life you need to give up to the Lord? Trust in God’s plans for your life. He’s not trying to rid you of the fun things in your life, but rather giving you a way to walk in the freedom He’s already given you.

The Golden Calf Part 2

Thu, 08 May 2025 10:00:00 +0000

Have you ever seen injustice and felt anger toward the situation? Whether justified or unjustified, these emotions always show up. In today’s message, Pastor Chris says it’s okay to feel upset about injustice, but what we do with that emotion will determine whether we’re in sin or not. You have hope amidst the world's injustices. Christ is returning, and He’s coming back to fix all that’s wrong with the world. When you see injustice, remind yourself, a king’s coming and He’s going to bring justice to all.

The Golden Calf Part 1

Wed, 07 May 2025 10:00:00 +0000

It’s scary not knowing what’s coming next in life. Today, Pastor Chris says in the Christian life, we won’t always know what’s coming next. God purposefully puts us in places where we must depend on Him fully. Are you in a season of life where you’re not sure what’s to come? Run to God for help! He loves you and wants you to trust Him fully so He can guide you to what’s best for you. God’s plan is better because He knows all. Give your life wholly to Him and you’ll find peace in His loving arms.

Praying Washing Anointing Part 2

Tue, 06 May 2025 10:00:00 +0000

If you believe in the Lord, God promises to give you the Holy Spirit. In today’s message, Pastor Chris says the Holy Spirit has gifted and empowered you to do amazing things with your life. Are you serving the Lord to the best of your abilities? You’re special in God’s eyes, and He made you for a purpose only you can fulfill. Utilize your giftings for Christ today and allow Him to shape and mold you into the person He desires you to be. He loves you and wants you to serve Him in the best capacity you can.

Praying Washing Anointing Part 1

Mon, 05 May 2025 10:00:00 +0000

When we see the offerings to the Lord in the Old Testament, we often read of how good the smells were. God deserved the best, and that’s what people gave. In today’s message, Pastor Chris says that we’re offering up incense to the Lord when we pray. God loves it when His children pray to Him and find joy in it. Scripture says, “ask and you’ll receive, seek and you’ll find.” There’s nothing the Lord desires more from you than your prayers. Run to the Father today and find peace in His loving arms.

The High Priest Part 3

Fri, 02 May 2025 10:00:00 +0000

Sometimes when we read scripture, we can come across something that seems a little more detailed than most of the Bible. Today, Pastor Chris says even though there’s a lot of detail in Exodus 29, it’s meant for us to read, and it’s there for a reason. When we have details, we have context for how people are feeling. God gives you details in His word so you can understand Him fully. He loves you and wants you to know Him better. Don’t neglect the things in scripture that might even feel silly to know.

The High Priest Part 2

Thu, 01 May 2025 10:00:00 +0000

Since the Garden of Eden, we’ve put ourselves in a situation where we always mess up. Our natural tendency is to choose sin over God. In today’s message, Pastor Chris says Jesus has given us new life through His blood. He died on the cross so you could have eternal life with the Father. There’s immense grace for all those who believe in His death and resurrection. Jesus didn’t die to condemn us but rather to give us new life in Him. Believe in His death and resurrection today. Find hope in His blood!

The High Priest Part 1

Wed, 30 Apr 2025 10:00:00 +0000

Our natural tendency as humans is to look for the approval of others. We’re always putting ourselves in situations where we can gain. In his message today, Pastor Chris says we must live for an audience of one. This means God has to be the center of everything that we do. When you think of your life, are you living for the approval of man or the approval of God? He deserves all your honor and praise because He’s given you everything you have. Live for an audience of one instead of an audience of many today.

The Tabernacle Part 2

Tue, 29 Apr 2025 10:00:00 +0000

When you hear the words triumphant king, what words come to mind? Maybe words like glorious, shining, or even powerful. In today’s message, Pastor Chris says that when Jesus came to Earth, He wasn’t glamorous. Scripture says Jesus was undesirable. Jesus came humbly so He could die on the cross for your sins. He's the ultimate example of humility. When you think of humble, do you think of people in power? Probably not! But that’s how awesome Jesus is! He’s king, while still being gentle and lowly.

The Tabernacle Part 1

Mon, 28 Apr 2025 10:00:00 +0000

When we invite people to our homes for a meal, oftentimes it’s to build a relationship with them. Pastor Chris says in today’s message that God wants a relationship with you. He wants you to trust Him. Like your relationships on this Earth, the only way to trust God is to spend time with Him. He desires to guide you to everlasting life and promises eternal life to all who believe. Trusting Jesus is the best decision you’ll ever make. Put your trust in Jesus today; He died so you could live in freedom.

The Mosaic Covenant Part 2

Fri, 25 Apr 2025 10:00:00 +0000

Have you ever made a friend at church? One moment, you’re worshipping God in your bubble, and the next, you’re sharing that experience with other believers. This is what God desires for His family: not only to talk to each other but to fellowship and commune with one another. When you do this, you not only grow in your relationship with God, but you also gain friends who can help you walk with the Lord. So today, Pastor Chris invites you to reach out to others and build connections.

The Mosaic Covenant Part 1

Thu, 24 Apr 2025 10:00:00 +0000

Isn't it amazing to know that we serve a God who loves us? Many people believe that God is unfair, but the reality is that God loves us so much that He provided a way out of our sins. He sent His one and only Son to pay the price that we could never pay, all because of His love for us. In today's message, Pastor Chris teaches us about the power in the blood of Jesus. His blood is what sets us free. Through the blood of Jesus, we are liberated from the bondage of sin, and when we accept Him into our lives, Jesus gives us His grace.

The Feasts Point To Jesus Part 2

Wed, 23 Apr 2025 10:00:00 +0000

In our busy lives, we can sometimes forget that this world is not our true home. Despite the beauty this planet has to offer, it is not our final resting place. Even when life seems unfair, there is something greater and better awaiting us in Christ. In today’s message, Pastor Chris reminds us that this world is not our home. Regardless of how good or bad this world treats us, our true home is beside Jesus Christ. When we leave this world, we can find peace in knowing that we will spend eternity by His side.

The Feasts Point To Jesus Part 1

Tue, 22 Apr 2025 10:00:00 +0000

When we invite friends and family over for dinner, we put effort into serving them. Imagine their disappointment if they arrived to find only the leftovers from weeks ago. Yet, how often do we approach our relationship with God with a different mindset? Too often, we give Him our leftovers – our unconsidered moments, our rushed prayers, and our half-hearted efforts. Today, Pastor Chris emphasizes that serving God should not be an afterthought, but a priority in our lives that deserves our best efforts.

You Once Were A Stranger Part 2

Mon, 21 Apr 2025 10:00:00 +0000

As Christians, we strive to embody the life of Jesus in everything we do. We immerse ourselves in His Word, embrace His teachings, and nurture our relationship with Him. It is not just our duty but a privilege to extend a hand to fellow believers in Christ. When a spiritual brother or sister is in need, we should seize that moment, not for personal gain but to assist them in deepening their connection with Jesus. Today, Pastor Chris emphasizes that we are called as Christians to stand out and represent Christ in our world.

You Once Were A Stranger Part 1

Fri, 18 Apr 2025 10:00:00 +0000

Have you ever realized that you messed up in one of your friendships? Sometimes, it can be hard to recognize your own behavior. However, when you take a step back, you might see that you were the one out of line. Reconciliation is crucial, not only in your relationships with other believers in Christ but also in your relationship with God. Today, Pastor Chris discusses the importance of reconciliation and emphasizes that when you ask for forgiveness, it should come from a place of humility.

God Loves People Part 2

Thu, 17 Apr 2025 10:00:00 +0000

Sometimes, as we go through life, we can feel underappreciated- like our accomplishments and goals may seem insignificant to others. However, in today’s message, Pastor Chris wants you to know that when God looks at you, He does not downplay your value. God loves you so much that He calls you His prized possession in the Book of Deuteronomy. He loves you so deeply that He could not bear to be apart from you and sent His only Son to pay the price for your sins so that you would believe in Him.

God Loves People Part 1

Wed, 16 Apr 2025 10:00:00 +0000

What is it about our eyes that causes us to focus on what we don’t have? Every time we go out, check our phones, or watch TV, we’re tempted by the latest trends. Sometimes, in our pursuit of the next thing, we can overstep our boundaries, particularly in our relationship with God. He offers us so much freedom, yet we often find ourselves yearning for what we lack. Today, Pastor Chris wants you to remember that with Jesus, all His promises, blessings, and guidance are meant for you. Don’t be tempted by what you do not have.

Thou Shalt Not Covet Part 2

Tue, 15 Apr 2025 10:00:00 +0000

If you’re a parent with multiple children, you know that when one child is playing with a toy, the others will often want that same toy. It’s a natural human instinct to desire something more from life. However, it becomes coveting when we desire something that doesn’t belong to us. That’s why in today’s message, Pastor Chris emphasizes that when you have wants and needs for your life, seek God and embrace His promises for your life. Don’t settle for the material pleasures of this world, but look for God and His gift of Grace.

Thou Shalt Not Covet Part 1

Mon, 14 Apr 2025 10:00:00 +0000

We live in a digital world filled with media and advertisements for just about everything. You know that feeling when you don’t realize you want something until you see it? That’s called coveting, and it's one of God's Ten Commandments. But is it always wrong to want something? In today’s message, Pastor Chris wants you to understand that desiring something isn’t always bad—especially when you seek the things of God. When you find yourself wanting, seek God and His promises for your life.

Don’t Steal, Give Part 2

Fri, 11 Apr 2025 10:00:00 +0000

In a small church, everyone knows each other's stories, and news spreads quickly. While members may share certain aspects of their lives selectively, what happens when information is shared out of context? A single misinterpreted statement can significantly impact someone's life or, worse, lead them away from Christ. That's why, in today’s message, Pastor Chris urges you to avoid rumors and gossip, particularly within the Body of Christ, to prevent hurting yourself and, most importantly, others.

Don’t Steal, Give Part 1

Thu, 10 Apr 2025 10:00:00 +0000

When you take your children to the store, it's important to keep a close eye on them, as they might be tempted to take items that don’t belong to them. If this behavior goes unchecked, it can become a habit as they grow older. As an adult, you might not steal from stores, but you could take more than you should in other areas of your life due to a lack of faith. That’s why, in today’s message, Pastor Chris invites you to allow God into all areas of your life, not just the ones you can control.

The Seventh Commandment Part 2

Wed, 09 Apr 2025 10:00:00 +0000

Have you ever faced a problem in life but chose to ignore it, only to watch it grow into something more serious? Many Christians live their everyday lives, yet they often carry unaddressed issues that could have been resolved long ago. For some, this may manifest as addiction; for others, it could be a toxic relationship that leads to sin. Whatever your struggle may be, Pastor Chris encourages you to take decisive action and confront the issue at its core. If you have a problem that leads you to sin, take action and let Jesus lead the way!

The Seventh Commandment Part 1

Tue, 08 Apr 2025 10:00:00 +0000

We live in a world where people are more open about their sexuality than ever before. For some, their sexuality serves as their identity in the world. For a long time, many have operated under the belief that, since it is their body, they can do whatever they please with it, even within Christianity. However, in today’s message, Pastor Chris emphasizes that your body is not your own; it was bought at the price of a life. Jesus Christ came to this earth, died for your sins, and paid the ultimate price for you.

Exodus 20:12-20 Part 2

Mon, 07 Apr 2025 10:00:00 +0000

Imagine driving down the road when someone suddenly cuts you off. For many, the immediate reaction is anger, which can be not only hateful but also hurtful to others. While these emotions are normal human responses experienced by many, they highlight a fundamental difference between Jesus and the world. Today, Pastor Chris emphasizes that there is someone who can uphold the Ten Commandments, and each of these commandments reflects the heart of one person: Jesus Christ.

Exodus 20:12-20 Part 1

Fri, 04 Apr 2025 10:00:00 +0000

If you’re a parent, you know you have to watch what you say. One day, you might hurt yourself while doing something, and in your moment of pain, you might yell out a certain word. Suddenly, you hear your kid say the same word from across the house. As a parent, you set an example for the kind of person you want to be in your child's life. So today, Pastor Chris encourages you to let your relationship with God serve as a model for your children as they grow.

God Speaks Part 3

Thu, 03 Apr 2025 10:00:00 +0000

Most people know that the First Commandment says: “You shall have no other gods before Me”. But what does that mean? Is it okay to worship God as one of many gods, as long as He is number one? Well today, Pastor Chris answers that question with a resounding “No!” God must be worshiped exclusively. And that doesn’t mean just abstaining from burning incense or saying prayers to any idols. It means offering everything in your life as worship to God. Nothing in your life can exclude Him.

God Speaks Part 2

Wed, 02 Apr 2025 10:00:00 +0000

When you’ve thought about the Ten Commandments, have you ever noticed WHEN God gave them to His people? It wasn’t while they were in Egypt. It was AFTER God had brought them out to freedom. Today, Pastor Chris shows that this illustrates a pattern of God’s interaction that we can’t overlook. FIRST, God saves. THEN, He shapes. As you look at the things in your life that need to be better conformed to God, remember this: these things come OUT OF salvation, they don’t bring you INTO salvation.

God Speaks Part 1

Tue, 01 Apr 2025 10:00:00 +0000

There are a lot of ideas floating around today about the nature of God. To a lot of people, He’s a kindly, benevolent figure who really likes almost everybody, and hopes that you’ll like Him too. But today, Pastor Chris reminds us of a characteristic of God we dare not forget: His holiness. Before God spoke to His people from Mount Sinai, He strictly warned them not to get too close. So never take this for granted: Today, you CAN come close to God, but you can only do so through the holiness of His Son Jesus.

You Need Help Part 2

Mon, 31 Mar 2025 10:00:00 +0000

How easy is it for you to manage your life so that you’re staying focused on the most important things? Does that tend to run along smoothly, or do more and more tasks keep attaching themselves to your schedule? Today, Pastor Chris challenges us to step back and seriously ask WHY we’re doing what we do. Moses was once asked that question by his father-in-law, Jethro. And after considering and praying about it, he made some changes. What changes might God want to make in your life?

You Need Help Part 1

Fri, 28 Mar 2025 10:00:00 +0000

It’s an easy temptation to think that we can “do it on our own”. The world teaches us to be independent and self-sufficient. It’s considered a sign of strength not to need anyone and a sign of weakness to depend on others. But today, Pastor Chris reminds us that this is not the way it works in God’s economy. God has designed each of us to work together with others. You need your brothers and sisters in the church, and they need you. God has given you a unique role that He hasn’t given anyone else.

Hungry and Thirsty Part 2

Thu, 27 Mar 2025 10:00:00 +0000

When things go wrong, where do we turn? Some people will ask their friends. Others will try to find a book or an online video. And there’s always the option of just running away. But today, Pastor Chris reminds us that there’s only one GOOD solution: turn to God. Whatever your needs, He’s there for you, and He cares for you. Maybe your troubles are caused externally – other people are mad at you and blaming you for their problems. Or maybe they’re happening inside your own mind. Turn. To. God.

Hungry and Thirsty Part 1

Wed, 26 Mar 2025 10:00:00 +0000

“Wow, things were so much better in such-and-such days.” We hear that a lot, and we probably think it often as well. It’s easy to selectively remember how nice the warm winter was in one place, and how cool the summer was in another. Sometimes it seems like our pre-Christian life had some pretty good things about it. But today, Pastor Chris warns us about such thinking. To be faithful to God means that you’re trusting Him for your past, your present, and your future. He WILL take care of you.

The Song of Moses Part 2

Tue, 25 Mar 2025 10:00:00 +0000

Can you think of a song you know that’s been around a really, really long time? Something you’ve remembered since your earliest years and has stuck with you throughout your life? Well today, Pastor Chris tells us about the LONGEST running song recorded in the Bible. It’s called the Song of Moses. It was sung when the Israelites were delivered through the Red Sea. And it’s sung again near the end of the book of Revelation. You too have a song of God’s deliverance. It’s a lifetime in the making.

The Song of Moses Part 1

Mon, 24 Mar 2025 10:00:00 +0000

It would be impossible to number all the songs that have ever been written by the human race. Not only those which have been recorded and played on the radio but those sung quietly by someone in the privacy of their home. Tonight, Pastor Chris describes a truly amazing song: the Song of Moses. It praised the glory and power of God in His deliverance of the nation of Israel through the Red Sea. You too have songs in your heart – of God’s holiness, faithfulness, and mercy. Go ahead and sing them!

Parting the Red Sea Part 2

Fri, 21 Mar 2025 10:00:00 +0000

In life, we often face difficult lessons about which battles are worth fighting. Some issues simply aren’t worth the conflict, while at other times, we might feel compelled to win a particular fight. When we’re in control, it can feel like an easy victory. However, there are moments when situations are beyond our control, and engaging in a fight may not be wise. In today’s message, Pastor Chris encourages us to place our trust in God to handle the battles that are out of our hands.

Parting the Red Sea Part 1

Thu, 20 Mar 2025 10:00:00 +0000

If you’ve been a Christian for a while, you know that it only takes one decision to make God the Lord of your life. Yet, there are moments when thoughts of backsliding or reverting to your old ways can creep in. In today's message, Pastor Chris shares an encouraging reminder about the importance of trusting in the Lord for what He has in store for you. It’s tempting to wish for the days when things were easier, especially during difficult times, but Pastor Chris invites you today to place your faith in Jesus Christ.

The Exodus Part 3

Wed, 19 Mar 2025 10:00:00 +0000

Imagine you're driving down the road at night, trying to get home. Suddenly, you miss your turn. Normally, you’d look for a well-lit area or a designated spot to make a U-turn, but it’s late, and the road is empty. You think: "There’s no one around; I’ll save time if I just make a U-turn here." In that moment, instead of doing what’s right, you choose the quick and easy option. Today, Pastor Chris tells you that in your relationship with God, you should strive to do things the right way, rather than taking the easy way out.

The Exodus Part 2

Tue, 18 Mar 2025 10:00:00 +0000

Have you ever gone out with friends or family and shared the food you ordered? When sharing, you usually offer just a little bit—enough to be generous- but sometimes, it can be things you don’t want. People often treat their relationship with God in a similar way- they give Him their time and love in small, sporadic moments when it’s convenient for them, rather than making Him a priority. In today’s message, Pastor Chris encourages you to invite God into your heart and make Him the center of your life.

The Exodus Part 1

Mon, 17 Mar 2025 10:00:00 +0000

In a world that often feels unfair, we can find ourselves in difficult situations that lead us to question where God is in all of it. Today, Pastor Chris reminds us that while our circumstances may seem unjust, God is ultimately just and aware of everything happening around us. He is present, guiding us through every storm life presents. And when we reach the other side of our challenges, we can share our experiences as a testimony to His mercy and grace - that God does care and that His plan is greater than any storm.

The Passover Instated Part 2

Fri, 14 Mar 2025 10:00:00 +0000

Have you ever thought about what you would do if you were faced with a situation where you could save your family, even at the cost of your own life? Most people would choose to sacrifice for their loved ones. However, it’s much less common to make such a sacrifice for those we don’t know. That’s what makes Jesus different. He didn't take the price of all sin on the cross just for a select few but for all who would believe in Him. Today, Pastor Chris tells you that the Grace of God is available to all who place their faith in Jesus.

The Passover Instated Part 1

Thu, 13 Mar 2025 10:00:00 +0000

As a parent, you’re probably familiar with how cranky kids can get when their routine is disrupted. Young children thrive on consistency, and even the smallest deviation in their schedule can lead to frustration and tears. When you see your child upset, your instinct is to look at them not with anger but with compassion and love. This reflects how God views His children, you and me. Today, Pastor Chris invites you to accept God’s Grace by allowing His Son, Jesus Christ, into your heart.

Pharoah’s Heart Hardened Part 3

Wed, 12 Mar 2025 10:00:00 +0000

As children, we can’t wait to grow up. We often try to do things on our own and seek ways to become more independent. Even as adults, we sometimes convince ourselves that we don’t need help from others—and even God. However, there will come times in life when we face challenges that we cannot overcome alone, and that’s when we truly need support. In today's message, Pastor Chris emphasizes that when we humble ourselves and invite God into our lives, He is always there to help us.

Pharoah’s Heart Hardened Part 2

Tue, 11 Mar 2025 10:00:00 +0000

If you’re anything like me, you may sometimes find yourself lost in thought. When you look at the news and see something happening, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed and wonder where the world is headed. However, in today’s message, Pastor Chris wants you to remember that when you accept Jesus into your life, you become part of His family, and all His promises apply to you. God is always in control, and nothing can harm you or take you away from this world until it’s your time.

Pharoah’s Heart Hardened Part 1

Mon, 10 Mar 2025 10:00:00 +0000

Have you ever felt too exhausted to wash the leftover dishes in the sink? Before leaving the kitchen, you might tell yourself, “It’s not that bad; it’ll be fine.” But then the next day, you walk into the kitchen and get overwhelmed by a foul smell in the sink. Sometimes, your spiritual life can be similar when you sin. You know there’s something you need to address, yet instead of repenting, you leave it alone. Today, Pastor Chris shares that when something feels off in your walk with Christ, it might be time to confront and cleanse it.

Heed God’s Commands Part 2

Fri, 07 Mar 2025 10:00:00 +0000

Have you ever experienced a day where everything seems to go wrong, no matter how hard you try? For some, this may only last for a short time, but for others, it can feel like a prolonged struggle. In today's message, Pastor Chris wants to remind you that even during these difficult times, God is not only in control of the situation, but is always there to guide you through it with Hi. When it feels like the storms in life won't end, you can trust that God will bring you through to the other side.

Heed God’s Commands Part 1

Thu, 06 Mar 2025 10:00:00 +0000

In today's fast-paced world, we often feel pulled in every direction—between work, family, and countless distractions. Amid this chaos, it’s easy to lose sight of our relationship with God simply by prioritizing other things over our relationship with Him. So, where does He fit into our busy lives? In today’s message, Pastor Chris encourages us to make God the center of our lives. When we allow God into our hearts and make Him the center of our lives, everything else falls into place.

Excuses, Excuses, Excuses Part 2

Wed, 05 Mar 2025 10:00:00 +0000

In the Bible, Moses had a privileged life but, at 40, found himself in a new land where he had to adapt to a new way of life. At the age of 80, he one day encountered God and was called on a mission, but he responded with excuses. Yet, God was patient with Moses and found a way to prevail. In today’s message, Pastor Chris reminds us that even when we come up with reasons to avoid sharing God's message in our lives, God always has a plan to help us move forward, all we need to do is trust Him.

Excuses, Excuses, Excuses Part 1

Tue, 04 Mar 2025 10:00:00 +0000

In today's world, it's natural to feel discouraged and uncertain about the future. During these times, it can be challenging to hear God's voice and discern the right path to take. But that’s why God is in our lives; to show us the way and remind us that while we can’t see the road ahead, He alone can get us to the other side. Today, Pastor Chris reminds us to trust in God's plans for our lives. When the burdens of the world feel overwhelming, we should reach out to God and ask for His help.

I Am Who I Am Part 2

Mon, 03 Mar 2025 10:00:00 +0000

God is everything we need Him to be. He's the source of everything material. He gave the first man Adam his first breath. He's the only God Who can forgive you of all your sins and give you eternal life. Today, Pastor Chris is going to remind you that everything you need is found in God. God won't ever call you anywhere to face anything that He also won't give you the strength to overcome. Your material, physical, emotional, and spiritual needs can all be met by coming before God for them.

I Am Who I Am Part 1

Fri, 28 Feb 2025 10:00:00 +0000

God had an amazing miraculous plan to rescue the people of Israel from their captivity in Egypt. He appeared supernaturally to Moses in a burning bush to tell him. After the time of captivity that was prophecied about that came true, God was going to move in mighty ways again. Today, Pastor Chris will point out that Moses was obedient to do what God called hIm to do. That's why God used him in such amazing ways. There's no limit to what God will accomplish through a heart that's surrendered to Him.

God's Goodness Part 2

Thu, 27 Feb 2025 10:00:00 +0000

God blesses those who are faithful to His commandments. Even when the pressures of those around you are to live contrary to Scripture, you must remember God. Those times are the times of testing. Pastor Chris is going to show you in today's message that the Israelites were faced with laws put in place by the Egyptian government that directly contradicted what God's Word said. What did they do? They chose to remain faithful to God, and they were blessed because of it, just like how it is for you today.

God's Goodness Part 1

Wed, 26 Feb 2025 10:00:00 +0000

When you give your life to Christ, it's not guaranteed that it's going to be an easy life afterward. Oftentimes, it's quite the opposite. But, through the trials and tests, if you keep your heart focused on God and living according to what His Word says, it will ultimately be better for you when you get through the trials. That's the word of encouragement Pastor Chris has for you today. God rewards His children when they don't turn their backs on Him and follow what the world says is right when the times get hard.

Trusting In God Part 1

Tue, 25 Feb 2025 10:00:00 +0000

We all come to a point in our lives where we realize that not everyone’s perfect. We make mistakes, and sometimes, people get hurt. Whether it was us or someone else, getting hurt is a part of life. But remember, God's transformative power can turn any situation into something good. In today’s message, Pastor Chris encourages you to look at your situation and allow God to make you look more like Jesus- to transform your pain into a testimony of His goodness and allow Him to shine through you.

The End of Jacob’s Life Part 2

Mon, 24 Feb 2025 10:00:00 +0000

Where did the idea of idolatry begin, and what effect has this sin had on mankind throughout history? Today, Pastor Chris answers these questions and cautions listeners against worshipping anything other than Almighty God. Examine your life - is there something that takes precedence or carries more value than your relationship with the Lord? What can you surrender to Him? He is worthy of all your worship and all of your praise. Others may, but He will never let you down!

The End of Jacob’s Life Part 1

Fri, 21 Feb 2025 10:00:00 +0000

Do you feel overlooked or unqualified to complete meaningful work for the Kingdom? Throughout history, God has used those who are small and weak in the eyes of man to do mighty things for Him. In today’s message, Pastor Chris encourages listeners that the Lord can use anyone to do anything because He is the One who supplies the power. Your value in the eyes of God looks way different than what the world values. Ask Him to reveal how He might use you in spectacular ways today!

Beyond Our Wildest Dreams Part 2

Thu, 20 Feb 2025 10:00:00 +0000

The redemption story of Joseph and his family is one of the most powerful and inspiring in Scripture. It speaks volumes of the Lord’s hand at work even in the most unfortunate of circumstances. In today’s teaching, Pastor Chris pieces together the big-picture view of God’s sovereign work in the lives of this family, all leading to a glorifying conclusion. Are you facing challenges in your family life? Pray and ask the Lord to show you how He can use you in His redemption story for your life.

Beyond Our Wildest Dreams Part 1

Wed, 19 Feb 2025 10:00:00 +0000

Throughout the course of life, we are faced with so many pivotal decisions, and it can sometimes be hard to discern which is God’s will. Today, Pastor Chris teaches listeners of Jacob’s commitment to listen for the Lord’s voice when at a crossroads. Not every direction from the Lord is applicable to all future decisions either. There may be times He calls us to wait, and a month later, He calls us to go in the same situation. How can you submit to the Lord’s voice in all circumstances of your life today?

What Forgiveness Looks Like Part 2

Tue, 18 Feb 2025 10:00:00 +0000

Joseph's level of forgiveness toward his brothers is a powerful comparison to Jesus and an important example for us. In today’s message, Pastor Chris unpacks this story and shows how even amid deadly persecution, Jesus too chose forgiveness over hate. All throughout Scripture there are meaningful messages of forgiveness for us to follow. Who might the Lord be calling you to forgive today? Just as He forgave the sins of the world, so does He call you to forgive the shortcomings of your neighbors.

What Forgiveness Looks Like Part 1

Mon, 17 Feb 2025 10:00:00 +0000

Growth and maturity usually increase over time, and as we experience various circumstances. In today’s teaching, Pastor Chris looks at the growth that took place in the lives of Joseph’s brothers while they were separated. What were once hearts filled with jealousy and bitterness, had changed to compassion and protection. What area of your heart might the Lord be looking to mature today? He may bring certain situations in your life to test and strengthen you into the person He’s called you to be.

Recognizing God Part 3

Fri, 14 Feb 2025 10:00:00 +0000

Picture this: your child stumbles upon a wild animal, and in that moment, your heart races. As a parent, your instinct kicks in to shield your little one, even if it means stepping into the unknown yourself. Did you realize that your Creator has done something similar for you? Today, Pastor Chris dives into the amazing concept of agape love. Sin was holding you back, steering you toward a dark path, but then Jesus stepped in, giving His life on the cross and taking all your sins on Himself. That’s how you’re saved!

Recognizing God Part 2

Thu, 13 Feb 2025 10:00:00 +0000

The justice system is pretty clear: if someone breaks the law, they’re going to have to deal with the fallout; no second chances given. But have you ever thought about how you're saved, even when your sins come with the heavy price of death? Today, Pastor Chris dives into the topic of grace. Just think about it—God loves you so much that He sent His Son, Jesus, to take your place on that cross! Thanks to God's grace, you're no longer held back by sin.

Recognizing God Part 1

Wed, 12 Feb 2025 10:00:00 +0000

When Joseph’s brother showed up in front of him, they didn’t recognize him. Joseph stepped up and looked after them during their tough times. In the same way, Jesus cares for you deeply, even to the point of sacrificing Himself on the cross for your sins. But how often have you acknowledged the fact that He’s the one who’s been there for you in your times of need? Today, Pastor Chris is here to guide you in embracing the beautiful truth that Jesus is your shepherd. Just trust in Him, and everything will fall into place!

Faithful Messenger Part 3

Tue, 11 Feb 2025 10:00:00 +0000

Are you holding onto past hurts that God is asking you to release? Life leaves us with plenty of baggage, and sometimes it’s hard to let go of the pain, regrets, or bitterness from our past. Today, Pastor Chris encourages you to follow Joseph’s example and let go of the past so it no longer holds you captive. Whether the hurt was beyond your control or something you regret, don’t let it define you. Trust God to help you move forward, and ask Him for the strength to release whatever you’re still holding onto.

Faithful Messenger Part 2

Mon, 10 Feb 2025 10:00:00 +0000

When life brings questions and confusion, it’s natural to seek answers from every possible source. But as Pharaoh learned, human wisdom has its limits and can only go so far. Pastor Chris shares in today’s message that only God’s insight can bring the clarity and direction we desperately need. When you’re faced with tough decisions or uncertain paths, instead of searching everywhere else, turn to God. His wisdom never fails and always meets you exactly where you are, ready to guide you toward His good plans.

Faithful Messenger Part 1

Fri, 07 Feb 2025 10:00:00 +0000

When life feels stuck and answers seem far away, remember that God’s timing is always perfect. For 13 years, Joseph suffered as a slave and prisoner in a foreign land. Joseph couldn’t see the end of his hardships, but he held onto faith, trusting that God had a purpose. In today’s message, Pastor Chris reminds you to do the same. If you’re waiting for a breakthrough or longing for a change, don’t lose heart—God is working, even when you can’t see it. Your moment of deliverance could be just around the corner.

Flee Temptation Part 2

Thu, 06 Feb 2025 10:00:00 +0000

Imagine having such integrity that people trust you with anything, knowing you’ll always do right by them. That’s exactly how Potiphar felt about Joseph—he didn’t even know what he owned because Joseph handled everything so faithfully. In today’s message, Pastor Chris encourages you to strive for that kind of trustworthiness in your own life, as a neighbor, friend, or family member. Be the person who reflects God’s faithfulness, and someone others can count on without a second thought.

Flee Temptation Part 1

Wed, 05 Feb 2025 10:00:00 +0000

Have you ever met someone who faces every hardship without a single complaint? It’s as if their strength comes from a deeper, unshakable source. Today, Pastor Chris shares how Joseph endured wrongful accusations and betrayal with remarkable patience, refusing to defend himself and instead choosing integrity and trust in God. In the same way, you’re encouraged to stand firm in faith, embracing character and grace, and trusting that God will carry you through whatever trials may come.

A Big Deception Part 3

Tue, 04 Feb 2025 10:00:00 +0000

Have you ever made a mistake so significant that you thought God wouldn’t forgive you? In the Bible, people like King David, Jonah, and Simon Peter have done amazing things for the Lord, yet they all experienced failure in some way. But did God abandon them? No! Why not? Because of God’s promise to His family! In today’s message, Pastor Chris reminds you that when you join God’s family and accept His Son, Jesus, into your life, all His promises apply to your life; all you have to do is let Him in!

A Big Deception Part 2

Mon, 03 Feb 2025 10:00:00 +0000

As a parent, your greatest wish is for your children to thrive. You guide them with love, hoping they will eventually understand your intentions, even if they don’t grasp everything right away. Unfortunately, young children often see parental concerns as mere disapproval of their friends, rather than as protective wisdom. In today’s message, Pastor Chris emphasizes the importance of being aware of the influences in your life, especially regarding your faith in Christ.

A Big Deception Part 1

Fri, 31 Jan 2025 10:00:00 +0000

The next time you go to church, pay attention to who is praising God. You will find people there with their struggles and challenges, yet they still come to glorify Him. From the outside, it can be hard to understand how anyone can attend church while trying to keep their heads above water. In today’s message, Pastor Chris reminds you that when life’s problems feel overwhelming, it is essential to take the time to praise God. In every area of your life, remember to give thanks and pray without ceasing!

Our Disappointments & God's Appointments Part 3

Thu, 30 Jan 2025 10:00:00 +0000

Have you ever felt like your life is going from one storm to another? Are you exhausted by what seems like a never-ending struggle? Sometimes, God places His family in specific situations, and we often fail to realize He guides us through every season of hardship. Today, Pastor Chris wants you to understand that God never allows you to go through anything without a purpose. No matter what that purpose may be, God will always keep His promise to prosper His family and protect them from harm.

Our Disappointments & God's Appointments Part 2

Wed, 29 Jan 2025 10:00:00 +0000

One of the most relatable aspects of life is the people we encounter and the lessons we learn from every situation. Perhaps you’ve found yourself learning the same lesson with different people, or you're still grappling with negative feelings from an experience. If that’s the case, Pastor Chris understands that it's normal to distance yourself from such situations. However, he wants to remind you that holding onto hate is detrimental to your soul. If you truly want to love God, you must love His family.

Our Disappointments & God's Appointments Part 1

Tue, 28 Jan 2025 10:00:00 +0000

No matter where you work or go to school, drama always lurks around the corner. The worst situation is when someone else pulls you into their drama. So, what can you do? In today’s message, Pastor Chris wants to remind you that while you can’t control the actions of others, you can control your reactions. By placing your faith in Jesus and inviting Him into your heart, you can find peace knowing that He will provide you with the strength and guidance to navigate any situation; all you have to do is trust in Jesus!

From Brokenness to Blessing Part 3

Mon, 27 Jan 2025 10:00:00 +0000

In life, we often find ourselves wanting more. Whether through social media or pursuing wealth, we can feel perpetually unsatisfied with what we have. This mindset can carry over into our spiritual lives, where some struggle to pause and discern what's going wrong. In today’s message, Pastor Chris reminds us that when you have Jesus Christ in your heart, you possess everything you truly need, and all else is merely a blessing. His Grace has been and will always be sufficient!

From Brokenness to Blessing Part 2

Fri, 24 Jan 2025 10:00:00 +0000

Do you remember as a child when you did something you weren’t supposed to do, and you feared your parents might find out? There was always a fear of them being upset or disappointed. However, as a parent, you know that children are bound to make mistakes, yet you forgive them regardless of what happens. In the same way, many people believe that God won't forgive them when they falter. In today’s message, Pastor Christ reminds you that God will always forgive you now and forever!

From Brokenness to Blessing Part 1

Thu, 23 Jan 2025 10:00:00 +0000

Imagine this: you’re running late for work, cruising down the freeway, when suddenly, someone cuts you off by darting across three lanes. You slam on the brakes and see that the driver is absorbed in their phone. How do you respond? Many might feel a surge of frustration but choose to brush it off.

Picture yourself standing in a courtroom. The evidence against you is undeniable, and just as the judge prepares to declare you guilty, he takes the punishment upon himself. How could this be possible? It is because God loves you profoundly. He sent His Son, Jesus, to bear the burden of your sins so you wouldn't have to.

Our lives are incredibly busy and full of things that don’t really matter or just don’t matter in the case of our eternal salvation.

In today’s message, Pastor Chris will remind you that the only way for your fire to burn brighter and your faith to be stronger, is to spend time with the Lord!

Jacob, A Work in Progress Part 2

Thu, 09 Jan 2025 10:00:00 +0000

We know we can’t understand the taste of something without tasting it, or grasp the beauty of a view without seeing it, and the same is true with Jesus! We cannot comprehend His love, grace, and gentleness without feeling it for ourselves! In today’s message, Pastor Chris will teach you the difference between knowing about God and knowing God. You can memorize Scripture and know all the historical facts, but without actually experiencing the presence of God…you can’t understand. So, do you know God or do you know of God?

Jacob & Esau Part 2

Mon, 06 Jan 2025 10:00:00 +0000

Abraham of the Bible is an inspirational figure, but remember that he, too, was a sinner. As you listen to today’s message from Pastor Chris, he explains that although Abraham is seen as a model of excellent faith, he also needed a Savior. Do you ever tend to compare yourself to others who seem like a “better Christian” than you? Pastor Chris encourages you to understand that every person has fallen short of the grace of God.

Mon, 16 Dec 2024 10:00:00 +0000

Let’s be honest: we all face temptation. Whether it’s lust, greed, or other desires, resisting what we crave can feel nearly impossible. Many people try to justify indulging in activities like watching porn or partying by saying, "Everyone does it." However, the Bible calls us Christians to be the salt of the earth and the light of the world! When we dim our lights to fit in, we risk becoming just as lost. So today, astor Chris wants you to understand that true joy is found in a relationship with Jesus, not the world!

Sodom and Gomorrah Part 1

Fri, 13 Dec 2024 10:00:00 +0000

Have you ever been to a church, and while worshipping God, you start speaking to Him? That’s called prayer.

The Bible teaches that Christians should pray in all areas of their life and every circumstance. In today’s message, Pastor Chris encourages you to take your relationship with God to the next level by starting a prayer life with Him.

The Abrahamic Covenant Part 3

Thu, 12 Dec 2024 10:00:00 +0000

The Call of Abraham Part 2

Mon, 09 Dec 2024 10:00:00 +0000

When you think of Christ, what comes to mind? For many, it's His incredible sacrifice on the Cross. But today, Pastor Chris wants to remind us of something amazing: Jesus is ALIVE! He conquered death and took on a burden no one could ever carry, all because He loves you deeply. God sent His only Son to Earth with one main purpose: to save you! Today, Jesus invites everyone who believes in Him to experience His Grace! All you have to do is repent and accept Him into your life.

The Call of Abraham Part 1

Fri, 06 Dec 2024 10:00:00 +0000

Do you remember when your child was an infant, and they would crawl around on the floor? One of the hardest things as a parent you can experience is watching your kids get hurt. So what happened when they stumbled and fell? You helped them back up! God does the same thing for you when you get off track or stumble with Him. And in today’s message, Pastor Chris wants you to know that God will never give up on you. No matter how many times you fall, God will always help you up!

The Flood & The Noahic Covenant Part 3

Tue, 03 Dec 2024 10:00:00 +0000

Do you ever read the fine print when you sign up for something? Most people don’t care about what they agree to as long as they get what they want, but when God makes a deal, He promises to go through with It. In the Bible, God made an unconditional promise to Noah, that He would never flood the earth again. The thing about covenants is that when God makes one, you can bet He’ll never break His word. And in today’s message, Pastor Chris reminds you that through Jesus, you and I have a new covenant of eternal life!

The Flood & The Noahic Covenant Part 2

Mon, 02 Dec 2024 10:00:00 +0000

Have you ever thought about the back burner on your stove? It’s the burner that's furthest away from you, and it’s meant to keep things warm for later. In life, people push the nonessentials off to the side. The truth is that some people leave their relationship with God off to the side until something good happens. They’re quick to remember God when the blessings roll in but forget about Him when things slow down. So today, Pastor Chris invites you to take Jesus off the back burner and make Him a priority in your life!

The Flood & The Noahic Covenant Part 1

Fri, 29 Nov 2024 10:00:00 +0000

What would you do with your time if you had 24 hours left on Earth? Would you spend the day with your loved ones or do something you’ve never done? In this world, there’s a damaging mentality of living life as if there is no tomorrow. In turn, people spend their lives finding new experiences and hoping something fills the hole in their hearts, but what’s missing from their lives is Jesus. So today, Pastor Chris invites you to take the first step in your walk with Christ; all you have to do is let Him in!

The Flood & Noah’s Ark Part 3

Thu, 28 Nov 2024 10:00:00 +0000

So, in today’s message, Pastor Chris invites you to join God’s family by starting a relationship with Him.

The Flood & Noah’s Ark Part 1

Tue, 26 Nov 2024 10:00:00 +0000

If you’ve ever been on a diet before, you know it’s hard work. You start by eating at home more and drinking more water, but after a while, your body craves everything you cut off. The same thing happens in your spiritual life, too. You'll stop going to parties, or you'll stop hanging around certain people, but the flesh will always want more. That’s why God gave you and me the Bible. And today, Pastor Chris encourages you to allow the Word of God to provide you with the strength to fight off temptation.

Contrasting Families Part 2

Mon, 25 Nov 2024 10:00:00 +0000

Do you remember Christmas as a kid? The excitement of the new toys and good food? Do you remember the inevitable question everyone would ask each other the first week back in school from Christmas break? “What did you get?” Do you remember how excited you were to tell your friends all about the new toy you got? In today’s message, Pastor Chris teaches that you have something exciting to share, and plenty of people to share it with. You have the good news of how Jesus changes everything.

Contrasting Families Part 1

Fri, 22 Nov 2024 10:00:00 +0000

This life is hard. Would you agree with that? It’s tiring… we have to work constantly… and it’s full of frustrations, anger, and heartache. Don’t get me wrong, there’s plenty of joy in life too, but… well, like I said… it’s hard. Today, Pastor Chris teaches that despite the hardships of this life, the next one will be a piece of cake. Jesus has made a way for you to live eternally with Him. There will be no pain or suffering, only joy. Now that’s something to look forward to. All you have to do is trust in Jesus as King.

Cain & Abel Part 3

Thu, 21 Nov 2024 10:00:00 +0000

Who doesn’t love playing fetch with their furry friend? Dogs have a very special place near and dear to our hearts. Have you seen videos showcasing their intelligence, such as fetching a drink from the fridge or putting away their toys? Amazing! Well… kind of. That is until you realize they’ve been motivated by treats instead of their own intellect. Today, Pastor Chris teaches that, like show dogs, we are often motivated by fear and rewards. So, when you’ve messed up, do you feel genuine remorse?

Cain & Abel Part 2

Wed, 20 Nov 2024 10:00:00 +0000

Why do we hurt others out of spite? A tough day at work might turn into snippy remarks to the wife and kids. Bad news might turn into a blaring horn on the interstate. Feeling under the weather might lead to short, blunt conversations. Those that we lash out against aren’t at fault, but we turn against them anyway. Today, Pastor Chris teaches that you’re not alone in this. Cain did the same thing to Abel because he let his sin and anger take control of his actions. Don’t let your anger become your ruler.

Cain & Abel Part 1

Tue, 19 Nov 2024 10:00:00 +0000

There is nobility and honor in approaching those you love and checking on them. It’s tempting to see someone having a rough day and to steer clear of them altogether as we try to avoid conflict, but Pastor Chris teaches in today’s message that demonstrating God’s love is being a rock for your brothers and sisters in Christ. You ought to be with them. Pray for them. Cry with them. What better example of Christ than to show believers and non-believers alike that they are worth your time?

The First Gospel Part 2

Mon, 18 Nov 2024 10:00:00 +0000

Doesn’t that just excite you? If you’re like me… probably not. The topic of death is scary, and rightfully so. However, Pastor Chris teaches in today’s message that Christians don’t need to fear death. The process will always be painful and scary, but you have hope for what’s on the other side. If you follow Jesus, death is just the passageway into eternity with the God of the universe. No matter how scary things get on earth, or how rough your health gets, you can rest knowing there’s a God who loves you.

The First Gospel Part 1

Fri, 15 Nov 2024 10:00:00 +0000

Tragically, this is true. The difficulty and strife that exists today between men and women have existed since the fall of Adam and Eve. It’s why women are viewed as property in some cultures, instead of the daughters of God that they are. In today’s message, Pastor Chris teaches that many of the difficult topics in culture stem from the same act of disobedience and rebellion in the Garden of Eden. However, there’s good news. If you follow Jesus, He has taken your brokenness and made you whole.

The Downfall Part 2

Thu, 14 Nov 2024 10:00:00 +0000

Have you ever experienced a little bit of buyer’s remorse? It’s not the greatest feeling in the world. Those pesky marketing tactics sell you a product that seems too good to be true, only to find out it isn’t as great as you once thought. Perhaps your wallet feels a little light after spending the cash, or the interest is a little higher than you realized. Today, Pastor Chris teaches that just like Adam and Eve, you may have buyer’s remorse for your sins. The good news is there’s redemption in Jesus Christ.

The Downfall Part 1

Wed, 13 Nov 2024 10:00:00 +0000

In this highly politicized, busy-bee culture, it seems that everyone has the answer to everyone else’s problems. There’s always a new diet pill, life hack, or way of thinking that promises to be the end-all-be-all. The problem is… well… they’re not. In today’s message, Pastor Chris teaches that you can try these things all you want, but you’ll always end up thirsting for more. That’s why Jesus tells the woman at the well that He is the Living Water, and all who drink will never thirst again. Are you thirsty?

A Closer Look At Creation Part 2

Tue, 12 Nov 2024 10:00:00 +0000

For many people, vacationing on an island is a tropical dream. The peace and solitude are wonderful… for a time. After about a week, many are ready to return to their friends, family, and society. For this reason, it’s safe to say that “No man is an island.” Today, Pastor Chris teaches you aren’t meant to be alone. Even though it’s an introvert’s dream, isolation will drive you mad. Humans are meant to have a community. You are meant to engage with other people around you.

Life is full of choices. You can choose to accept that… or not. See what I did there? Every day, you decide whether to go to work or stay home. You decide what to have for dinner. You choose to show either kindness or bitterness. In today’s message, Pastor Chris teaches that free will is a gift from God, and what you do with it is solely up to you. If you really want to, you can partake in a sinful lifestyle and run from God… or you can choose to accept His grace and mercy, and worship Him.

You may not have had the most pleasant upbringing. If you did, wonderful! But there’s a chance that not everything went according to plan. You may have faced financial or health challenges growing up. If it ever led you to believe you were an accident, Pastor Chris reassures you that you aren’t. You were specifically and uniquely designed. You can look at yourself today, and know that X number of years ago, God knew exactly what He was doing when He designed your fingerprints.

Have you ever spent time out in the remote dark spots of nature watching the stars? It’s amazing how much is visible to the naked eye when the city lights disappear. God truly is an artist and has created an unfathomable number of lights in the evening sky. Today, Pastor Chris teaches that there are two types of lights. There’s the primary light, and lesser lights; the sun and moons. If Jesus is the primary light in your life, you ought to reflect His light as a moon brings light to dark places.

Jesus is in everything. Even the beginning of the world foreshadows the work that Jesus would do in our lives. Today, Pastor Chris teaches that you were once formless and void. You were a pit of nothingness and darkness. Then, out of nowhere, Jesus… the Word of God who became a man… died for your sins and made you whole. When God said “Let there be light,” He was foreshadowing the time in which you would become a new creation. If you have Jesus, you’ve been made new.

Many of us would probably agree that it doesn’t require a mathematician to look at countless probabilities to realize something isn’t pure chance. However, the secular narrative is that we’re all here by chance, it all came from nothing, and with no design. In today’s message, Pastor Chris reflects on the design behind our solar system, and how things would quickly fall apart were it not for God. In his study, you’ll gain a better understanding of the tight-knit design of our wonderful powerful, and awesome God.

While it can be entertaining to have debates or discussions about Bible interpretation, it’s important that we don’t let it divide us. Perhaps one of the more common topics of division is whether or not God created the Heavens and the Earth in six literal days. In today’s message, Pastor Chris explains why he personally believes the Creation account can be interpreted literally. In his study, you’ll learn the importance of cross-referencing Scripture, which in the case of Genesis, has New Testament support.
