Christ Chapel TN

What do you do when you don’t know what to pray? And how do you know God is actually working in your life?

In Week 5 of Wild Goose: Life in the Spirit, Pastor Jerimy unpacks Romans 8:26-30 as we see that living in the Spirit is a both/and experience: being filled with the Spirit and being formed by the Spirit. We cover three things: the prayer, the promise, and the pathway.

You’ve been adopted by God. Willfully chosen. Pursued across the world. And you’re also walking through something hard right now. Both of those things are true — and Paul says they’re not in conflict.

In Week 4 of Wild Goose: Life in the Spirit, Pastor Jerimy Kanaday works through Romans 8:15–25 and unpacks three pillars of life in the Spirit — adoption, affliction, and assurance.

He shares the story of adopting his son Luke from China — and how the spirit of adoption was at work long before the reality of it was. That’s the picture of what God has done for every one of us.

Ten years ago, Pastor Jerimy and Shannon Kanaday moved their family to Spring Hill, Tennessee with no building, no seats, and no certainty — just a call from God to pioneer something new.

Today Christ Chapel celebrated Vision Sunday — and the vision isn’t just for the next year. It’s for the next decade.

Drawing from Matthew 25 and the parable of the talents, Pastor Jerimy unpacks what it means to be a pioneering church — and why faithfulness isn’t just consistency, it’s multiplication.

Sin is like a squatter in the home of your heart. And after a while, when you let a squatter stay long enough — it gains legal access.

In Week 3 of Wild Goose: Life in the Spirit, Pastor Jerimy Kanaday works through Romans 8:9–14 and delivers one of the most honest messages in the series. If we’re going to have life in the Spirit, our flesh has to die. And most of us don’t know how much flesh we have until we run into another person.

You can be a good, God-fearing Christian and still walk independent of God. That’s what Paul is warning against in Romans 8.

In Week 2 of Wild Goose: Life in the Spirit, Pastor Jerimy Kanaday works through Romans 8:1–8 and lands on one of the most practical — and most overlooked — truths in the Christian life: life in the Spirit is traveled on the road of the mind.

Where you set your mind determines which law you live under — the law of the Spirit, which produces life, or the law of sin, which can only produce death.

The early Celtic Christians had a different image for the Holy Spirit. Not a peaceful, serene dove — but a Wild Goose. Untamable. Unpredictable. Free.

In the opening message of our brand new series — Wild Goose: Life in the Spirit — Pastor Jerimy Kanaday launches eight weeks in Romans 8, one of the richest chapters in the Bible and the greatest guide to life in the Spirit that exists.

You probably own a Bible. Maybe more than one. You might have a Bible app on your phone and a framed scripture on your wall. But are you actually in a relationship with God's word — or just familiar with it?

In the series finale of Pillars: Relationships That Build a Meaningful Life, guest speaker Steve Horner closes out seven weeks of teaching with a message on our relationship with God's word — and why it's the foundation everything else is built on.

The church has been hurt, misrepresented, and misunderstood. But Jesus still called it His — and He's still building it.

In this week of Pillars: Relationships That Build a Meaningful Life, Pastor Jerimy Kanaday unpacks what the church actually is, why it matters, and how to have a healthy relationship with it — especially if you've been burned before.

The church isn't a building or a service. In Greek, ekklesia means a gathering of citizens called out for legislative purposes. It's a governmental term. The church is the legislative body of God's kingdom on earth — and Jesus said the gates of hell will not prevail against it.

You are not a one-dimensional person. And God doesn't want to heal just one part of you.

In this week of Pillars: Relationships That Build a Meaningful Life, Pastor Jerimy Kanaday builds a fully integrated model for health from Mark 12:30 — love the Lord with all your heart, soul, mind, and strength — and shows how each dimension maps directly to a different area of health that God cares about.

A Fully Integrated Model for Health:

- Spiritual Health — Love with all your heart. Your greatest identity is received, not achieved.

- Emotional Health — Love with all your soul. We cannot adequately heal what we do not allow ourselves to feel.

- Mental Health — Love with all your mind. Mental health is lived out through the biblical process of renewing the mind.

- Physical Health — Love with all your strength. God determines our mortality. We steward our longevity.

And hidden in Isaiah 9:6 — the four names of Jesus map directly onto these four dimensions:

What if your number one goal in life, your number one need in life, and God's number one purpose for your life were all the same thing?

In this special sermon from our Pillars series, guest Chip Judd unpacks one of the most overlooked truths in the Christian life — that before you can love God or love others, you have to learn to receive and rest in the Father's love for you.

"The hardest person you're ever going to have to learn to love is the one in your seat. Once you learn to love you, everybody else is easy."

"Whoever's words define you is your God."

"Easter didn't solve your problem. It solved God's problem. He looked down on a planet with seven billion people and said, 'I want to hold every one of them.' So he went and took care of it."

Three steps to get there:

Look to God first and most — for everything you need, every day

Identify and deal with your idols — most of them are in your family photo album

Practice — it might take six months before you really learn how to receive and rest in His love. You have the rest of your life to live in it.

"I want my wife to love me. I do not need my wife to love me. Why? I go to God to get my love need met." — Chip Judd

"Faith isn't why God does miracles. Faith is how. Love is why." — Chip Judd"

I wake up every day like — God, you there? Yeah, Chipper. We gonna have a good day." — Chip Judd
