We think of stewardship in terms of our money and possessions, but God has also entrusted every believer with a testimony. Jesus' parable of the talents reveals that there's no reward for burying what he's entrusted to us. So, how do we steward the "God story" that we've been given? In this episode, Pastor Chris Kipp gives a teaching entitled "Stewarding The Story" from John 4:27-42.

It takes courage for us to tell the story of Jesus and how he changed our lives, doesn't it? We can have a lot of different fears about sharing our testimony. "What if I say it wrong?" "What if I lose this relationship?" "What if they shred something that is so personal to me?" These are the kinds of fear-filled thoughts that can fill our hearts and minds about sharing our testimony. We need courage. In this episode, Pastor Chris Kipp teaches on biblical courage from 2 Timothy 1:1-12 in a message entitled, "Courage To Tell The Story."

What do we do when our story, our faith journey, stalls out? That's what Pastor Chris Kipp teaches on in this episode. Like a car on the side of the road, our stories stall out because we either run out of gas or we breakdown. Chris points us to Hebrews 12:1-2, and shows us how Jesus can get our stories back on track.

He is risen indeed! In this episode, Pastor Chris Kipp shares an Easter message entitled "What Difference Does Easter Make?" based on Romans 6:4 in which the apostle Paul states that "...we too may walk in newness of life." Chris illustrates how the old way has been disrupted by a new kind of life because of Jesus' resurrection. This new kind of life is marked by peace, hope and power. We "may" walk in it, but we also may not. Chris invites us to consider the one thing that changes everything in our lives.

If you had to describe God in one or two words, how would you describe Him? Could you say, without a doubt, what He is like? In this message, Pastor Chris Kipp teaches on Palm Sunday from Zechariah 9:9 and Matthew 11:28-30. The message is entitled "The Heart of the King" and Chris invites us to take Jesus at His own words and to experience His heart.

In the famous Parable of the Sower, Jesus reveals a "Word war". The war isn't the Word trying to overpower the opposition, because no opposition can overpower the Word. Rather, it is a war for how the Word is received. In this episode, Pastor Chris Kipp teaches a message entitled "The Clashing Kingdom" from Matthew 13:1-9, 18-23.
