Expounding the WordGod at Work Part 2 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!
2026-02-0926 minExpounding the WordStop Pretending Part 1 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.
2026-01-0226 minExpounding the WordMark 14:53-72 Part 2 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?

2025-11-2634 minExpounding the WordMark 14:12-31 Part 2 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.

2025-08-0844 minExpounding the WordA Steadfast Man Part 2 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 hi...

2025-07-1149 minExpounding the WordNehemiah 13, Matthew 5 Part 2 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!

2025-06-0208 minExpounding the WordPurpose in Problems Part 1 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.

Psalms for the SpiritLenten Psalms and Practices: Lent #4The Psalms help us express a wide range of emotions, but one form of expression they are well known for is Lament. Lament is a cry out against injustice, it’s a complaint against the way things are, it’s an expression of deep sadness or anger. Lament is all that ~ but that’s not all it is. The Lament form of prayer found in the Psalms follows a template that holds all those things in their raw, bare honesty, in the light of hope. Psalm 13, “How Long,” is a perfect example of this. A beloved professor of mine wrote, “La...

2025-01-3138 minExpounding the WordJacob, A Work in Progress Part 3 Our faith in Jesus Christ and our personal relationship with Him needs to be just that, personal! Whether we’re new to Christianity or we’ve been following God all our lives, we all need to have a fresh love and a strong steady fire for the Lord! 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! When you spend time with God, you get to know Him more and that creates a firm fear of God!
2025-01-1026 minExpounding the WordAbraham Tested Part 2 Faith without works is dead! As you listen to today’s message from Pastor Chris, he encourages you to live out your faith in a tangible and recognizable way. It’s important to understand that no amount of your good efforts will earn you the right to stand before a Holy God. There is only One way to salvation and that’s through faith in Jesus Christ. However, Pastor Chris explains that as you have placed your faith in Christ, there should be evidence of the abundant fruit that comes from a life transformed by Him.
2024-12-2426 minExpounding the WordAbraham & Isaac Part 2 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. Everyone needs salvation through Jesus. And having faith in Jesus is what credits you as righteous.

How's That Working For You?Living Life In Widening Circles: An Enneagram 9 Wants to get Everyone to the Table (and keep them there!)It is often said of enneagram type 9’s that because they are perched “at the top of the world” they can easily see and relate to all other types. In fact, many who eventually identify as personality style 9 in the enneagram wisdom tradition say it took awhile to settle in as that type because they see so much of all the other types in themself. And while every type does contain some essence of all types, in a very real sense 9’s are the “every-man” or “every-woman” on the enneagram spectrum of human archetypes. 9’s naturally see all the sides to an issue, lo...

An Ennea-type 7, Addiction, and Faith-Based 12 StepsIn today’s episode we are joined by Tyler Currier, an Ennegram type 7 who is also in long-term recovery from drugs and alcohol. Sevens are often ‘life-of-the-party’ personalities, constantly filling their days and nights with new and exciting experiences. Often this over-planning can become emotionally gluttonous in nature, where if a little is good then more has to be better This overuse of their mental space tends to keep unconscious Sevens in the future and thus disconnected from being fully present. As a result they rarely process life’s experiences effectively or deeply which limits their emotional and relational growth.
