Chase Gallimore at Chisholm Hills Church of Christ

What does a renewed mind look like in everyday church life? In Romans 12:3–8, Paul shows that transformation doesn’t stop at personal growth—it becomes humble, practical service in the body of Christ. In this message, we’ll confront pride, comparison, and “consumer Christianity,” and we’ll learn how grace-filled people use their gifts to build others up with zeal, generosity, and mercy.

When life gets heavy, what are you saying to yourself? In this sermon from Psalm 42, we explore the constant inner conversation every person is having and the gospel we preach to ourselves every day. Too often, we rehearse messages of fear, shame, loneliness, and discouragement. But Psalm 42 shows us a better way: to speak truth to our own souls, remember God’s steadfast love, and call our hearts to hope in Him. This message is a reminder that no one talks to you more than you do, so what you say to yourself matters. Learn how to stop preaching despair to your heart and start preaching the true gospel of God’s presence, power, and faithfulness.

In The Beginning of Wisdom, we explore the biblical truth that wisdom does not start with information, experience, or intelligence—it starts with reverence for God. Drawing from Proverbs 9:10 and Psalm 111:10, this sermon challenges us to examine our posture before God and reminds us that true wisdom begins with humility, teachability, and submission before understanding.

What does spiritual growth look like when it moves beyond knowledge and becomes visible in everyday life?

In this message, we introduce the next movement of our 2026 theme by focusing on growing in wisdom—faith that takes on flesh. Drawing from Luke 2:52 and James 2, we explore how wisdom shapes the mind, but obedience, character, and consistency shape a life. This sermon reframes growth away from performance and toward faithful living in ordinary moments, reminding us that maturity is not about perfection, but direction.

As we move from learning truth to living it, we’re invited to see how Christ forms us into people whose faith is steady, embodied, and enduring—faith with skin on it.

Jesus will return openly (Matthew 24:30–31), and the grace that saved us trains us to live ready today (Titus 2:11–14). Kicking off with a finals-week “cramming” joke—“you can’t cram for the trumpet”—we move from cosmic certainty to daily discipleship: character, hope, and mission. We name His delay as mercy (2 Peter 3:9) and invite listeners to respond with repentance and baptism (Acts 2:38) and a renewed eagerness for good works (Titus 2:14).

In this Christmas message from John 8:12, we explore why Jesus didn’t come merely to be seen—He came to be followed. Light isn’t seasonal ambiance; it’s God’s life, truth, and holiness breaking into our darkness. You’ll hear how Christ’s light reveals what we couldn’t see, confronts the darkness we can’t defeat, and leads step by step into real life. If you’ve felt stuck in guilt, fear, or confusion, this episode offers a simple path forward: not by out-muscling darkness, but by staying close to Jesus. 

The Birth of the King (Luke 2:1–20). Rome was loud and certain, but God arrived quiet and low. From Caesar’s census to a Bethlehem manger, we see power in disguise, heaven’s “fear not,” and the shepherds’ simple response—go, see, tell, worship. Bottom line: the true King came low—so kneel and make room.

In this episode we begin our series, The Road to Jesus, by stepping back before Bethlehem and into the deeper story that makes Christmas make sense. Long before a manger, God spoke a promise—first in a garden shattered by sin, then through a prophet in a nation paralyzed by fear.

Genesis 3:15 and Isaiah 7:14 reveal something essential:
 Jesus didn’t come because the world was beautiful. He came because it was broken.

We explore why the Savior had to come, why humanity could never rescue itself, and how every promise of God points to the coming Messiah. This message sets the foundation for the series, showing the ache before the answer and the darkness before the light.

If you’ve ever wondered why the birth of Jesus matters so deeply—or why the story begins long before Bethlehem—this episode will anchor your heart in the hope only Christ can bring.

In this Thanksgiving message, Chase walks us down two very different roads that lead to the same destination: a heart awakened to gratitude.
 The journey begins with a gripping true story—three men lost in the Gulf of Mexico for eight days—and the surprising shift that happened in their prayers when rescue still seemed impossible. From there, we explore why gratitude isn’t really about circumstances at all, but about clarity: recognizing the Source behind every breath.

Then we step into the book of Daniel, where Daniel bows in gratitude long before the blessing becomes public, while Nebuchadnezzar learns the hard way that gratitude often rises only after the crown falls. Humility and breaking, quiet praise and loud pride—two very different experiences revealing one unchanging truth:

Everything good begins with God.

As we enter Thanksgiving week, this message invites you to look beyond the table in front of you and see the Giver behind it all. Whether your year has felt like Daniel’s steady trust or Nebuchadnezzar’s unraveling, the road to gratitude is open… and it leads you home.

In this episode, we walk through 1 John 3:16–18 and explore what real love looks like. Not the watered-down version our culture often offers, but the kind of love Jesus defines through the cross—holy, sacrificial, and deeply practical.

This message unpacks four movements in the text:

• The Definition of Love — Jesus shows us love by laying down His life.
• The Demand of Love — Love always costs something.
• The Test of Love — How we respond when we see need reveals what’s in our hearts.
• The Practice of Love — Not love in words alone, but love in “deed and truth.”

We also look at the difference between sentimental love and saving love, why the cross was absolutely necessary, and how believers are called to reflect Christ’s sacrifice in everyday relationships.

If you’ve ever wondered what it looks like to actually live the love of Jesus in a noisy, self-centered world, this passage gives us the clarity we need and the challenge we need.
