Chase Gallimore at Chisholm Hills Church of Christ

In this message from our Faith in Action series, we walk through Ephesians 6:10–18 and rediscover a surprising truth: sometimes the most courageous act of faith isn’t moving forward — it’s refusing to be moved. Paul doesn’t call believers to sprint, strive, or outmuscle the enemy. He calls us to stand: to hold the ground Jesus has already won for us.

We explore what standing looks like in real life, why strength is something we receive rather than perform, and how the armor of God isn’t a list of spiritual accessories but the gospel itself applied to our everyday battles. Each piece — truth, righteousness, peace, faith, salvation, and the Word — anchors us when pressure hits. And woven through it all is prayer, the rhythm that keeps us steady, alert, and connected.

If you’ve ever felt tired, overwhelmed, or unsure of your next step, this message is a reminder that God doesn’t ask you to win the war in your own power. He asks you to plant your feet, lift your eyes, and stand firm in His.

Faith moves… but sometimes faith wins by standing.

Walking in the Spirit isn’t about chasing emotional highs or trying harder to be good. It’s about learning to live each day step-by-step with God’s Spirit shaping our hearts, our desires, and our character. In Galatians 5:16–26, Paul shows the tension between the flesh and the Spirit—not to discourage us, but to remind us that struggle is part of spiritual growth.

In this message, we explore why the Spirit leads to freedom, how the fruit of the Spirit grows in a surrendered life, and what it means to crucify the old self and keep in step with the Spirit. This is a call to real transformation: not behavior modification, but Spirit-powered living that makes us look more like Jesus.

The Race Isn’t About Speed; It’s About Sight — From Hebrews 12:1–3, this message reframes endurance: not running faster, but seeing clearer. Learn to drop the weights and sins that cling, listen to the witnesses who’ve finished, and fix your eyes on Jesus—the pioneer and perfecter—who endured for joy. Practical steps help you refocus your attention so your faith outlasts any terrain.

Faith Without Works Is Dead (James 2:14–26)
What if the problem isn’t that we don’t believe, but that our “belief” never leaves the chair? In this message we start with gospel rest—what Jesus has already done—and then let James press us toward a living faith that moves. We explore why “faith that doesn’t act isn’t faith at all,” how Abraham and Rahab embody obedient trust, and why mere agreement (“even the demons believe—and shudder”) isn’t the same as saving faith. Expect a grace-first call to action and a Table moment that fuels obedience from assurance, not anxiety.

In Genesis 32, Jacob wrestles with God and refuses to let go until the blessing comes. What kind of God is worth fighting for like that? Psalm 139 reveals Him: the Almighty—who knows everything, can do anything, and is everywhere in His fullness. In this sermon, we explore what it means to cling to the Great I Am and discover the God who never lets go.

Life is full of change—jobs, health, relationships, even entire nations rise and fall. In a world where everything shifts, Scripture reminds us there is One who never changes and never surrenders His throne.

In this message, Chase Gallimore walks through Malachi 3:6, James 1:17, Daniel 4:35, and Ephesians 1:11 to show us the hope we have in God’s immutability and sovereignty. Discover why His unchanging nature and His sovereign rule give us confidence in His promises, peace in uncertainty, and courage to live in obedience.

Because the good news is this: the Rock never moves. The King never abdicates. And that truth changes everything.

What would you say if someone asked you to describe God? Most of us start with an idealized version of ourselves—projecting our preferences, opinions, and cultural values onto Him. But in Exodus 3:14–15, God makes it clear: He is not defined by us. He defines Himself.

In this message, we’ll see how God reveals His name to Moses—“I AM WHO I AM”—and what that means for us today. God is self-existent, holy, and present to save. Far from leaving us groping in the dark like the ancient Assyrians, He has spoken His name, shown us His holiness, and come near to us in Jesus.

Bottom Line: God has not left us in the dark—He has revealed His name, His nature, and His holiness, and that changes everything.

In this message from Mark 10:33–34, we see Jesus flip the world’s definition of greatness upside down. In a culture that tells us to climb higher, Jesus teaches us that true greatness is found by getting lower—through humility, service, and sacrifice. This sermon challenges us to follow in the footsteps of Christ, the One who knelt to serve and gave His life to save.

Whether you’re striving for leadership, influence, or impact, this message reminds us that in God’s Kingdom, the path upward always begins by going down.

Jesus said something that turns our world upside down:

In this message from Matthew 16:24–26, we wrestle with one of the hardest — and most hopeful — truths of discipleship: real life is found not in clinging to control, comfort, or success, but in surrendering everything to Christ.

Through vivid stories and Scripture, we’ll explore what it means to deny ourselves, take up our cross, and discover that every “loss” for His sake is really a gain.

In this Father’s Day message, we explore what it means to live as God’s covenant people. From Israel’s calling in Deuteronomy 7, we see that God’s people are set apart—not because of their greatness, but because of His love and faithfulness.

Through real-life stories and biblical truth, this sermon unpacks:

• Our identity as God’s holy, chosen people.
• The basis of God’s choice—His grace, not our merit.
• His faithfulness to keep covenant through all generations.
• Our response of obedience, living distinct lives that mirror His holiness.

It’s a reminder that we don’t live to earn God’s love—we live from it.
