When Revival Comes
Revival means "to come back to life," "a spiritual awakening," "a returning to God." One of the greatest misconceptions of revival is that it is only needed by those who have fallen away from God. On the contrary, every believer needs seasons of renewal, of fresh visitations from God. Without these, we will struggle or possibly not even be able to accomplish what God has for us to do. Referencing Revelation 2:1 - 7, Pastor Chris highlights three marks of true revival.

- Jan 17, 2021Let Us Pray
Let Us PrayAs we see our country seemingly coming apart at the seams, it can be easy to get discouraged or wonder if anything can be done. As Pastor Chris brings this timely message, he references Daniel 10:1 - 3 and reminds us of the powerful tool we have called "fasting". He calls us to fast, pray and earnestly seek God during this particular time in our nation.
- Jan 10, 2021The Spirit of Winning
The Spirit of WinningWinston Churchill is noted to have said that "Success is going from one failure unto another without losing your enthusiasm." The Church needs to have that kind of attitude, the kind of spirit that we see Caleb have in Joshua 14:6 - 14--a spirit that gets God's attention when push comes to shove, a spirit that speaks God's Word when everyone else is speaking negatively. In this message, Pastor Chris points out four lessons for life that we learn from Caleb.
- Jan 3, 2021First Things First
First Things FirstOne of the most important lessons for life is setting and maintaining priorities. And the thread which should run throughout every one of those priorities is the Kingdom of God. In this message, Pastor Chris looks deeper into Matthew 6:33 & 34 and shows three ways in which we can seek God's Kingdom first. He encourages us that if we keep our relationship and our walk with God where it rightly belongs, He will help us to keep everything else in its appropriate focus.

Born In a Manger, Raised On a CrossWe cannot forget, in the wander of the Christmas season, in seeing the nativity recreations, that the manger is indivisibly connected to the cross. As Pastor Chris reminds us from John 3:1 - 17, the baby found in a manger at Bethlehem was born to die on the cross of Calvary, to be the Savior for all. Jesus is the expression of God's love for every single person.
- Dec 6, 2020Launch Out Into the Deep
Launch Out Into the DeepJesus calls us to take an adventure of faith with Him, going deeper into the things of God, all to be used for His glory. No matter how long a believer has walked with God, there are deeper depths for him or her. So what kind of people does God use for His glory? In this message, Pastor Chris references Luke 5:1 - 11 to describe the five kinds of people that God uses and wants to take deeper into Him.
- Nov 29, 2020Beating Babylon
Beating BabylonIs life just the pursuit of being happy? Tragically, in the world, and even in the Church, people are pursuing happiness rather than holiness. Our great challenge as believers today is battling to beat Babylon--not losing our pursuit of holiness for the pursuit of happiness. In this message, Pastor Chris gives us three great keys to live a holy life in the midst of Babylon, just as Daniel did in Daniel 1:1 - 8.
- Nov 22, 2020Heart Matters
Heart MattersIn this message, Pastor Chris looks at Proverbs 4:23 and gives us five ways in which we can be diligent with what pertains to our heart. As he explains, when the Bible references the heart, it is referring to the essence of our being, our true inner self, not the physical muscle. As the world grows darker and farther away from God, it is imperative that we be dedicated to keeping our heart tethered to God's heart.
- Nov 8, 2020The Throne of Grace
The Throne of GraceGod is not a long ways off and He is not someplace where we cannot find Him. He gave us the remedy to the sense of disconnection and separation we battle at times in our life. Pastor Chris reminds us, as we see in Hebrews 4:14 - 16, that God made a bridge for us--Jesus, our High Priest. And God Himself implores us to come boldly, confidently, to the throne of grace to find our help.
- Nov 1, 2020When Hope Fades
When Hope FadesHopelessness is a silent killer--robbing our joy and peace, ultimately leading to despair, where no relief seems forthcoming. Is there a remedy? In this timely and timeless message, Pastor Chris looks at the life of the weeping prophet Jeremiah. In Jeremiah 33:1 - 3, we find three ways in which God infuses hope in the most dire of circumstances. When we radiate hope, it fills us and our environment and praise arises, reminding us that all things are possible with God.
