    A Plan for Rescuing America
    Currently, our nation is facing tremendous turmoil and many are seeking answers. For America to get where she needs to get, the solution is not a quick-fix, but a determination to invest the time to see the desired outcome and return to foundational principles, namely, men rising up in Jesus' power and leading their families. From Micah 6:6 - 8, Pastor Chris lays out five qualities that men need to cultivate to bring our nation back to health.

    Lost People Matter
    The Gospel has always been and will forever be a "whosoever" message. We must not allow the animosity and hatred to penetrate our hearts and cause us to forget that every person needs Jesus. No matter what we consider our occupation in life, the bottom line is that we are called to be soul winners. In this message, Pastor Chris takes us through the book of Jonah and encourages us to remain focused on the souls of the lost, just as God was focused on the lost Ninevites and not Jonah's feelings about them.

    Experiencing an Encounter With the Eternal
    God is serious about making a difference in people's lives and we must be also. To facilitate that, we need to personally have a fresh encounter with the God of heaven. Without such an encounter, we are limited to our own insufficient resources to help people. Using Exodus 3 as the backdrop, Pastor Chris shows us three things about how we can experience an encounter with the Eternal.

    Revival: American Style
    Revival is not a man-made thing. There is a divine framework and pattern revealed in the Word of God to which every true move of God has followed. This paradigm can be found in Psalm 85. In this message, Pastor Chris takes us on a journey through revival history and challenges us with Charles Finney's seven principles to expect a "revival of religion".

    Whoever Said Do Away With the Cross?
    Modernity looks down it's nose at ancient people whose idols were made of stone, wood and precious metals. But we have an idolatry today that is far more wicked than even that which is recorded in the Old Testament. It is preaching a salvation without the cross of Christ. As Pastor Chris preaches from 1 Corinthians 1:18 - 2:5, he admonishes us to take seriously the call to "take up our cross and follow Jesus." There must be a confrontation of our sin and true repentance.

    Is This the Beginning of the End?
    As we look at current world circumstances, we might wonder if the end is imminent. Having seen plagues, natural disasters and wars all throughout history, this current state of affairs seems somehow different. In this message, Pastor Chris discusses this and gives us several points from Luke 21:5 - 36 that we can do to remain steadfast as we look forward to the return of King Jesus.

    Why a 21st Century World Needs a 1st Century Christ
    In this dynamic Easter message, Pastor Chris preaches from John 14:1 - 6 and walks through how Jesus could rightfully claim to be the Way, the Truth, the Life. Pastor Chris encourages all to take that most important step in life and declare Jesus as Lord and Savior.

    COVID-19 & Christ
    As we continue to walk through an uncertain, ever-changing time, we face the tension between the current crisis and Jesus Christ. We must maintain that balance between being paralyzed with fear and being careless with indifference. As Pastor Chris reads the accounts found in Matthew 8 and 9, he brings to our attention three points to carry us through to the other side of this and other moments of uncertainty.

    Whatever Became of Sin?
    There is such a thing as sin; but there is also forgiveness. The bad news is that there is none righteous, we have all sinned. But, the good news is that there is a Savior--Jesus! As Pastor Chris ministers from Luke 7:31 - 50,  we see the proper response to the forgiveness of our Savior in the woman worshiping at His feet. And we see in the cynical onlookers the response of hearts calloused to their fallen nature.

    When the Elements Melt
    The manner in which we view our past largely determines our present. And how we look forward to the future greatly impacts how we live today. As Pastor Chris discusses in this reassuring message from 2 Peter 3, our present has meaning because our past is under the blood of Jesus and our future is secure in Him. Pastor Chris reminds us that our ultimate goal is not the here and now; it is the new heavens and the new earth wherein dwells righteousness.

    Faith > fear
    Living for and serving God does not exempt us from life's storms. But, God has promised to never leave us nor forsake us. Pastor Chris encourages us with three points taken from Paul's encouragement given during his perilous travel to Rome, found in Acts 27:1 - 26. As we face our current perilous times, we can remain in faith knowing that just as God was with Paul in the midst of the storm, so He is with us.

    Righteous Among Unrighteous
    Looking at the description of Lot found in 2 Peter 2:1 - 9, Pastor Chris examines what it is to live righteously in an unrighteous world. There is a real battle we are facing right now. But, if the righteous withdraw from the world, who will win them to Christ? Pastor Chris encourages us that although we will be vexed at times, the same God that delivered Lot out of Sodom knows how to deliver us at exactly the right time.

    The Lord’s Lot
    As Pastor Chris takes us through Judges 1 and 2, he reminds us that although we are positionally saved, we practically have to work it out, just as the Israelites had to possess the Promised Land. From these passages, he points out three truths that we need to value and apply to our lives to be effective ministers of the Gospel.

    Does Your Heart Still Burn for Jesus?
    In this message, Pastor Anthony reads from Luke 24:13 - 32 and poses the same question to us that the travelers to Emmaus asked themselves, "Did not our heart burn within us...?" He discusses five ways in which we can gauge whether or not our hearts still burn for Jesus.

    An Explanation of the End Times
    No one is one hundred percent sure of the days to come, but we need to make sure that we are focused on the right things. A good way to know if our focus is right is to know what Jesus said about it. As Pastor Chris points out from Acts 1:1 - 11, Jesus emphasized to His disciples the importance of the indwelling Spirit of God. We need to be full of power which will lead to effective evangelism. As we see in the parable in Matthew 25,  we cannot run on empty in these last days.

    Missing the Move of God
    In the history of Christendom, most of the great moves of God have been missed by most believers because they did not expect it, they did not prepare for it, or they did not recognize it as God. Pastor Chris takes the account found in Acts 8:4 - 25 and shows that the people who most resist God's moves are the ones who try to control those moves. He also reminds us that we cannot put the new moves of God in the context of His past moves.

    Living Sacrifices
    In this message, Pastor Chris teaches from Romans 12:1 - 3 and points out that the larger issue for believers today is not if we will die for Christ, but whether we can live for Him. The day to day living out of our faith prepares us for what will happen when push comes to shove.

    How far along would you be if you unpacked the whole box of Who Jesus is? In this dynamic message, guest speaker Pastor Richard Ware preaches on the need for the Church to walk in the fullness of Holy Spirit. He shows that Holy Spirit is God's seal and guarantee on His people and is the down payment on our heavenly inheritance.

    The Move of God
    There is a move of God coming that is greater than the Church has ever seen and will have a great harvest for the Kingdom. In this message, Pastor Chris makes three points regarding the move of God, based on Ezekiel 47:1 - 12. He encourages us with the reminder that Jesus is coming to rule and reign; and, in preparation for that, God is going to send rivers locally. We also here a powerful testimony from Bob Wendall at the beginning.
