Abiding Sermon Series - Nehemiah

This week we continued our sermon series on Abiding. Pastor Jenny looked at the book of Nehemiah and showed how he remained faithful to God and his people amongst hard times.  Points  Pay Attention to the Pull  Push through the Pause Let God use the Pause to Purify your Purpose

We Live Missions

This week Chris talked about how every Christian is called to take part in God's mission. God doesn't just call certain people to become missionaries, but Chris shows us in the Bible how God has called every Christian to live on mission and to go, give, welcome, and pray. Prior to joining Chi Alpha, Chris and his wife Kelly had spent 2 years serving as missionaries overseas.

Life Without Compromise

This week at Chi Alpha, we had the privilege of having Pastor Alvin, who is the lead pastor at Fireplace Church, and your former Chi Alpha director back for a visit to speak. He gave us a powerful message and teaching about not living a life of compromise. He takes us through 2 uncommon passages, Revelation 2 and Numbers 22-24, and teaches us on the importance of not compromising our life or beliefs when the rest of society encourages it. He teaches us how those passages are related to one another and what we can learn from them today. This was a great word that you don't want to miss out on!

Winning the Battles of Your Mind

This week at Chi Alpha Pastor Jenny gives us a powerful message on winning the battles within in our mind. She discusses how to overcome thoughts that have been placed in us by other people or the enemy, and combatting those lies with truth (the Bible). Overcoming this will transform our lives and enable us to fulfill all that God has for us. Sermon Notes: 1.) Your mind is like a garden. 2.) Identify what is not healthy by knowing the Truth. 3.) Uproot or cut the lies. 4.) Plant good thoughts.

Mission Trip Recap

This week was a little bit different, we got to recap all that God did on our mission trips we took over spring break. You will get to hear from a variety of students about what God did in them over these trips, and testimonies of how they saw God move. We sent students to WV, where they did a tour of three different Chi Alpha's and they got to serve and learn from them. They also got to help design and build a stage and wall in the sanctuary of a church that was burnt down. We also sent a group to DC to serve a ministry known as Urban Outreach, which serves and ministers to homeless people. The third trip was to Orlando Florida to work with a ministry known as CFAN (Christ for All Nations) and speak and lead small groups for a school.  We are so thankful to have gotten to take trips and watch our students grow. We look forward to doing mission trips again soon and hope you decide to say yes and come with us! God has so much that he wants to do!
