Chestnut Mountain Church

God is faithful. Since the beginning of time, God has remained faithful to His promises and in His pursuit of us. Even though we may have questions, doubts, and frustrations about our lives, God is faithful. Through how He took on the promise and the curse of the covenant to reconcile His people back to Him, we see how God is faithful to His promises, and He is faithful to His promises through Jesus. Even in our failures, Jesus still died in our place, and God still loves us, pursues us, and is faithful. Because He is faithful, we should be faithful. Listen to this sermon about how He is faithful in the tenth and final part of our He Is series.

Lighting is important. In photography, for example, lighting can be the difference between a breathtaking photo and a terrible one. In the context of a human being, a life is only as beautiful as the light that illuminates it. In the Sermon on the Mount, in addition to Jesus calling believers to be the salt of the earth, He also commands believers to light their shine in the world. As followers of Christ, we are called to be the light in a dark world. Jesus is the Light of the World, and He changes everything. Light always changes the environment it’s in because it exposes the darkness. Because we are an extension of Jesus’ ministry as followers of Him, our responsibility is to be the light in the darkness. Our responsibility is to let His light shine through us, but the reality is that there is sin in us that affects the brightness of the light that shines through us. As the light shines through us, it is going to expose the very things that dim the light that shines through us and around us. Our conviction of our sin must lead to confession because sin can dim the brightness of how the light shines in our life. The light in us never changes because Jesus never changes, but the sin in our lives can affect the brightness of the light shining through us. Let your light shine in the darkness, and let it shine bright. Listen to this sermon about how He Is Light and how we are to let the light shine in the ninth part of our He Is series.

We face choices and opinions where we are forced to pick sides. Often, these choices lead to clear division and separation. Similarly, there would be a dividing line in the room, a clear separation; before we place our faith in Jesus, there is a clear dividing line between us and God. God sent His only Son to provide a way for that gap to be closed so that we would be unified in Him, in Him alone. Therefore, He is unity. Not only was Jesus sent to be united, but Jesus also exhausted Himself modeling unity and how to achieve unity. We look to how Jesus modeled unity with his disciples to see how we, too, can model unity in a divided world. Through finding common ground, meeting people right where they are, and seeing others’ potential, we can be imitators of Christ to model unity and live it out. Listen to this sermon about He is unity in the eighth part of our He Is series.

Jesus is patient. We think that God loves us when we are doing well and that He is disappointed when we fail. However, God loves us enormously on our best days and loves us the same on our worst days. He is patient with us. He displays His patience towards us through being a patient physician and patient shepherd. Looking at how Jesus healed people, how He led people, and who He said He was throughout His earthly ministry, we see that He wants to heal and lead us, too. Listen to this sermon about how He is patient in the seventh part of our He Is series.

Jesus always led and loved with generosity. As an imitator of Christ, because Christ is generous, we are to be generous too. Looking to Jesus’ teaching in the parable of the Good Samaritan, we see how being generous involves putting others’ agendas before our own, having compassion that leads to action, and being open-handed with what God has given us. We are generous because He was first generous to us. How do we need to be generous today? Listen to this sermon about He is generous in the sixth part of our He Is series.

As followers of Christ, we are called to be authentic imitators of Him, not just in words but through our actions. Everything Jesus commands us to do, He has modeled it. Through this, we see, that He is authentic by how He loved, served, forgave, and was just real. How much different would our church, our homes, and our workplaces look if we were authentic through our love, service, forgiveness, and being real with one another? Listen to this sermon about He is authentic in the fifth part of our He Is series.

On Jesus’ way to Jerusalem, as He approached what He knew would be the crucifixion, He had to Jericho. Through His journey to Jericho, he encountered Zacchaeus, a chief tax collector hated among the people, in a sycamore tree. Despite being hated, being in a hard-to-see place amidst the crowd, and Zacchaeus not really knowing Jesus but curious enough to catch a glimpse of Him, Jesus called Zacchaeus by name and invited Himself to Zacchauses’ house to dine with him. Through this encounter and dining with what the community deemed as the worst of these, we see how Jesus is welcoming. Jesus wanted to display that anyone, including the worst of the worst, who will seek Him and will find Him and He will welcome them in. Jesus will welcome anyone, and in the same way, so should we. Listen to this sermon about He is welcoming in the fourth part of our He Is series.

When you think of kindness, you think of someone being nice to you or pleasant, gentle, patient, offering a helpful gesture. However, kindness is not just about being positive, helpful, and gentle, but it’s also acting on what someone needs. The kindness of God is one of the most fascinating and mind blowing qualities of God, that he, who is Yahweh, is kind. Looking to accounts of people being healed by Jesus throughout Scripture, we see how God’s kindness acts, goes first, and is selfless, ultimately, giving us a model that we can embody and emulate. Listen to this sermon about how He is kind in the third part of our He Is series.

Looking at the encounter between Jesus and the Samaritan woman at the well in John 4, we see how He is and still is intentional. Despite being despised by Jews and Samaritans, Jesus was still intentional in His interaction with the woman and provided true satisfaction to her thirst through a relationship with Him. This intentionality even compelled her to tell others, causing more to believe in Jesus. As imitators of Christ, we must live out this same intentionality to carry out the message of reconciliation to lost people. Listen to this sermon about Jesus’ intentionality in the second part of our He Is series.

We are called to be imitators of Christ, and it’s a responsibility of being a follower of Christ. Upon salvation, God not only calls you a child of God and calls you redeemed, but He also calls you an ambassador for Him. As an ambassador for Christ, we are given the message and ministry of reconciliation. Carrying this message and living out this ministry is the goal; how we accomplish this goal is the strategy. To learn how to accomplish the goal, we’ll look to Jesus and who He is throughout this new series entitled “He Is.” Listen to this sermon about being an ambassador for Christ in the first part of our He Is series.
