Pastor Chip continues on in our series, "A Thrill of Hope"; taking a look at a very popular portion of scripture found in Luke 1 of the Christmas story, Mary's Song. Mary declares what the Lord has done for her and sings about the kingdom to come. Jesus came to turn the world right side up and is coming again to restore His kingdom.

Could you imagine the Christmas season without listening to your favorite Christmas classic tune? "A Thrill of Hope" Christmas series will walk us through three specific songs found in the story of Jesus' birth. Teaching through Psalm 89, Pastor Chip highlights how music draws out our hopes and declares what we believe!

Pastor Chip teaches on how guilt. He shows us how our human nature wants to deal with guilt but then sheds light on what Jesus does with our guilt to set us free!

As we wrap up our series on Ephesians 6, we conclude with the secret weapon...the thing that holds everything in together: prayer. We are reminded that pray is the greater work in all things.

When we equip ourselves with the Sword of the Spirit (Word of God), we empower ourselves to move from a place of reacting impulsively to a place of responding intentionally. Don't just simply react in life...respond, drawing strength from the Sword of the Spirit.

Put on the Helmet of Salvation to guard yourself against the enemy. Pastor Chip explains how our thoughts have far more influence on us than our circumstances and relationships do. Listen and hear how can we conquer and take thoughts captive in this crazy world.

Pastor Chip continues in our Suit Up Series in Ephesians 6 and teaches on the Shield of Faith.

As we look at the Gospel of Peace, Paul calls us to stand firm. Pastor Chip reminds us what happens when we experience peace with God: we are confidence to stand and fight...positioned well in the battle.

In our second week of "Suit Up" Pastor Ken takes us through the Breastplate of Righteousness and how, once equipped with the Belt of Truth, we guard our heart against the lies of the enemy. Satan's desire is to be like God, but we have been equipped to win.

We start off our new series, "Suit Up", teaching on the most vital part of a warriors armor; the belt. The belt held everything together, from keeping up the breastplate, to holding the sword. Without it, everything would come sliding down and you wouldn't be able to fight off the enemy affectively. That is why we so strongly need the belt of truth (knowing who God is) in our spiritual armor to fight off the lies of the enemy. Knowing who God is, is what will hold all the other pieces of our spiritual armor up!
