God has unconventional ways of using His people throughout the Bible. We find one of those unique ways, in Daniel chapter 2, in which God perturbs a king, perplexes the godless, positions His people, provokes them to prayer, provides the solution, promotes His believers & gets all the praise in the end. In this message, "God's People Are God's Solution", Pastor Chris Kipp shares anchoring truth in these politically turbulent times reminding us that we can be used by God to be a part of the solution and not the problem.

How does what God does in our individual hearts have to do with the benefit of nations? That's the big question that Pastor Chris Kipp addresses in the message entitled "Christ & The Conscience". Teaching from John 6:41-51, Chris connects Jesus' teaching on how salvation works to the freedom of conscience that undergirds free societies. Chris challenges us to become thoughtful, reasonable and convictional Christians who see how our faith can be benefit, rather than a nemesis, to society.

Church growth was once a celebrated thing. But, a convergence of factors such as cultural change, publicized scandals of mega-churches and the missional church movement have created an anti-large and anti-mega church environment. For many Christians, big is bad when it comes to the church. In this episode, Pastor Chris Kipp examines these prevalent mindset against the account of Christ found in Luke 5:1-11. Chris challenges us to examine our preferences and to think BIG about God's purpose for our ministry.
