In The Divine Conspiracy, Dallas Willard poses a question that many Christians may have had: "It is good news to know that when I die all will be well, but is there any good news for this life? If I had to choose, I would rather have a car that runs than good insurance on one that doesn't. Can I not have both?" His concern was for a version of Christianity that believed for heaven but lived like hell.

In this episode, Pastor Chris Kipp teaches a message from Romans 6:1-14 entitled 'Walk In Newness of Life'. Chris contends that the good news of Jesus is not just heaven after death, but a 'fully alive' life that we can walk in now.

It has been said that there are no pessimists in heaven. All of us fall somewhere on the spectrum between pessimism and optimism. Pessimists are in danger of fatalism and optimists are in danger of folly. But, the resurrection presents us with a different way of seeing life as "Resurrection Realists". In this episode, Pastor Chris Kipp teaches a message entitled "Resurrection Realism" from Acts 4:1-12. Chris applies the resurrection to our daily lives, calling us to a fully alive faith.

Why did Jesus have to die? It's a valid question. Many have asked it. In this episode, Pastor Chris Kipp teaches from Matthew 27:38-44 revealing three perspectives: the legalist, the relativist and the message of the cross. The cross is foolishness to the other 2 perspectives. Yet, at the cross, both the glorious love and the glorious justice of God are mingled together.

How in the world can we obey the Bible's call to "count it all joy" when we go through trials, troubles and temptations? Are we just glossing over the difficulties an attempt to create a happy, clappy Christianity? That's not all what James has in mind in James 1:2-18. In this episode, Pastor Chris Kipp teaches a message entitled "Count It All Joy" in which he shares 4 keys to counting all joy from James chapter 1.

Many Christians are prone to think of missions as something else that someone else does somewhere else. But, the scriptures teach us that God has called each of us to His mission. In this episode, Pastor Chris Kipp teaches a message entitled "What's That In Your Hand?" from Exodus 3:7-12, 4:1-5. In this message, he calls each of us to consider what it looks like to engage in God's mission with the things that He has already given to us.

"How do I know if I believe?" That's question Chris's son asked one night at bedtime. It is similar to the questions that many of us have asked. It could also be phrased as, "Where does a walk with God start?"

In this episode, Pastor Chris Kipp teaches a message entitled "Starting Point" from John 3:1-21. This is the first message in a series entitled "Made For This." Throughout the message Chris uses the "3 Circles" gospel tool to equip us to share the starting point of our faith.

What do you do when you're in between a rock and a hard place? We find ourselves there often, don't we? We could scheme, manipulate, control, be paralyzed by indecision, worry... or, we could get really specific in our prayers to God. In this episode, Pastor Chris Kipp teaches from Ezra 8:21-23. 31-21 on The Power Of Specific Prayer Requests. He talks about the 3 things that happen to us when we get specific in our prayers.
