No Other Name
Episode | April 3rd, 2022 | 39 mins 41 secs
baptist, bible, church, preaching, scripture, sermon
Today, Pastor Chip preaches on the power of the name of Jesus, and how our life as a Christian is worked out because Christ has made us alive. Religion is doing, but the gospel is living in Christ, it’s not about what you do, it’s about why you do what you do. We see throughout scripture that salvation is found only in Christ, and there is no other name given to us where we can be saved. This hope of glory is Christ in you, not Christ and you. Billy Graham puts it this way – “Being a Christian in more that just an instantaneous conversion – it is a daily process whereby you grow to be more like Christ.” We are also to stand on the truth of the Gospel and proclaim the name of Jesus, because there is no other name above Him.
Are you continuing to grow more like Christ? Are you connected with Jesus? Or has your faith not moved more than just that instantaneous conversion? We encourage you to find a community of believers who can hold you accountable and walk with you in the process of growing more like Christ. One of the best ways to find this community is to join a LifeGroup, where people in the same stage of life as you can do just that – encourage and grow together in faith.

The Sermon on the Mount | Do Not Worry
Episode | June 27th, 2021 | 41 mins 34 secs
baptist, bible, church, preaching, scripture, sermon
As Christians, Jesus calls us in Matthew 6:25 to not worry about life. This at first, might seem like a platitude, but there are some spiritual implications involved when we worry. Pastor Chip explores Jesus’ words in the sermon on the mount regarding our circumstances and how we should control our thoughts, actions, and feelings. Concern is when we are in control of our thoughts and worrying is when the circumstances we are in control our thoughts. This may seem a subtle difference, but we learn that this shows distrust in the promises and power of God to be in control of our life.

Pastor Chip picks up the story of Elijah after the great showdown on the mountain, when God showed His power. Elijah’s life is threatened by one of Jezebel’s messengers, and Elijah becomes afraid and runs away to hide and even asks God to end his life. We see how a strong faith can be shipwrecked by not relying on God.
