Gifts of the Spirit Part 2

Love, Part 1 Part 1

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.

“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.

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

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

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.
