Dauphin Island Baptist Church Message of the Week

God has provided us with His Word—the Bible—to guide us rather than leaving us to navigate our own religious experiences or opinions. In this impactful message, Pastor Chris Schansberg explores the significance of the Bible as God's communication to us. Whether you are new to the Gospel, a long-time Christian, or seeking a deeper understanding of Scripture, this message will resonate with you, inspiring you to center your life around the Bible.

Being a Dad is a big deal! God calls Dads to raise children who thrive, are well-equipped to face life's challenges, and walk with Jesus naturally and with ease. However, today, dads are often told that their role in the family is optional and unimportant. In this message, Pastor Chris Schansberg helps us understand the importance and influence of fathers and how they can guide their children toward Jesus Christ. Dads, let this message inspire your faith and ignite your passion for excellence in being the father God intended you to be.

Every Christian should take their family heritage seriously. In this message, Pastor Chris Schansberg encourages us to explore our family's backstory—identifying both the positive and negative aspects, as well as the heritage of faith that may be present. By understanding how God roots each believer within their family, we can uncover a path toward a life filled with potential and achievements for the Kingdom. Allow God to guide and support you as you broaden your vision for what is possible when your relationship with Jesus intersects with your connections to family.

To have the abundant family lives Jesus promises, we must be aware of what is happening and take our families seriously. In this message, Pastor Chris Schansberg reminds us that if we are on the lookout, our family connections are full of signals that, if heeded, can lead us to happier, more fulfilling, and prosperous relationships. This message is a call to rise to the call to do the hard work in the Lord’s wisdom and strength that can bring our families to heights beyond our imaginations, offering a hopeful and optimistic outlook for our relationships.

Part of God’s design and intention for families is for the parents to pass on the blessing to each of their children. The blessing is the unleashing of spiritual power and direction for an individual. When parents get the blessing right, great things follow. In this powerful message, Pastor Chris Schansberg calls the Church to return the blessing to the central role of each family. When we take the necessary steps to become families of blessing, we launch our children into a marvelous and powerful future! Get ready to wake up to the power of the blessing in your family!

To build healthy families, we need to let go of anger. Left unchecked, anger’s destructive power can wreck families and shatter close relationships. In this powerful message, Pastor Chris Schansberg shares the Biblical perspective on our anger—and how God offers us a better path. Learn how choosing forgiveness, self-control, and patience provides a better and more joyous path than the temporary satisfaction of winning an argument. Prepare to be challenged, empowered, and inspired to build a stronger family by conquering your anger.

Moms are God's agents of grace and blessing for our world! In the Father's plan, each Mom is meant by the Father to be an agent of His Kingdom, establishing His blessings and purposes for each family. In this transformative message, Pastor Chris Schansberg offers fresh insight into what it means to be a Mom and how God's grace is present for each woman to reach her full mothering potential. Let this message ignite anew your appreciation of mothers and awaken you to the supernatural strength available through God's grace for each Mom!

As the children of God and as his Church, we need to understand the promise and reward of heaven. In today’s Christian culture, we ignore God’s promised blessings of heaven. The result of abandoning heavenly thinking is that we often live without the encouragement and excitement the news of heaven is supposed to bring. When disconnected from the promise of heaven, our efforts will be driven by lesser motivations. Our efforts will lack productivity in the spirit and build inferior kingdoms. Join us as we hear from Pastor Chris Schansberg, who shares a timely message about embracing this Biblical truth for ourselves. We feel the power of God on this word and the empowerment of our heavenly Father. We bless you as you listen along! 

The Ascension is the launching of God's final act to bring about the Kingdom of God in this world. Join us as we hear from Pastor Chris Schansberg, who shares a power-packed message of hope and contagious joy. Discover the meaning of the Ascension of Jesus and the Hope it holds for you and the world. We bless you and pray that God speaks directly to your heart as you listen to this week's sermon.

Easter is about Jesus’ transformation of death. In Jesus’ death and resurrection, He took the power of death and completely shattered it. This was God’s plan from the beginning. In this message, Pastor Chris Schansberg unpacks the Biblical teaching on the significance of Easter. Jesus’ resurrection destroys death’s power to separate us from God and our loved ones. Through Jesus’ resurrection, we begin to experience the life of heaven now, which is preparing us for the glory to come.
