What's your dream for life? Did you have a dream for life growing up? Our dreaming hints at our heart's deep desire for purpose. We all want our lives to count for something. But, how in the world can we know that our lives will count for something? Pastor Chris Kipp addresses this in his message "The Father's Business", teaching from John 15:9-17 and John 5:19-20.

What in the world does it mean to be blessed? We use the word when it comes to sneezing, struggling and earthly riches, but those examples make it more confusing. And, is blessing something that is available to you and me? Pastor Chris Kipp talks about this and more from Matthew 3:13-17. Learn how our identity, acceptance and approval are found in the Father's Blessing.

This recording is from a sermon delivered at Renaissance Church in Richmond, Texas, on Feb. 9th, 2020, and is the 2nd in a series entitled The Father's Blessing. You can find the video that Chris references at https://vimeo.com/106492749.

What's your dad like? The research and stats about fathers and fatherlessness give compelling evidence that dads are incredibly important people. Hardwired into every human heart is the desire and need for the Father's blessing. The scriptures reveal primarily as a Father. Which means, that no matter what your earthly dad was, or is, like, there's great hope for you! Pastor Chris Kipp teaches from Psalm 86 about the Father's Being.

This sermon was delivered at Renaissance Church in Richmond, Texas on Feb. 2nd, 2020, and is the first in a four part series on The Father's Blessing. Before the sermon began, Chris referenced a video that you can find here: https://youtu.be/Jsj9S3mMr0U.

It takes a certain type of courage to stop and mark the milestones of life. The internal hamster wheel of fear keeps us hunkered down and driving forward and missing the joy and celebration of moments. But, celebrating these milestones is key to making life changes.

This sermon is the last in the series Time For A Change, but is also a milestone week in the life of Renaissance Church as we tell some God stories and celebrate 1 year of being a church.

Pastor Chris Kipp teaches from Joshua 4:1-7, 19-24 about "Milestones."

Habits are repeated behaviors that we do unthinkingly. The thing about habits is that once we form them, they form us. As the famous Ralph Waldo Emerson quote reminds us, "Sow a thought and reap an action. Sow an act and reap a habit. Sow a habit and reap a character. Sow a character and reap a destiny." So, how do we break out of old habits and break into a new ones? Listen in as Pastor Chris Kipp teaches on habits from Hebrews 10:19-25.

Like an old dirt road with deep ruts, we all have thought patterns that are so engrained in us that our minds naturally travel down the same old roads. We try to make life changes but we so often fall right back into our old ways. How in the world can we change? Pastor Chris Kipp teaches from Romans 12:1-2 on renewing the mind.

Only 8% of New Year's Resolutions actually get implemented in our lives. Which also means that 92% of them don't! With the odds stacked against us, how in the world will we make the changes that we need to make? The first step is seeing the change that we need to make. Listen in as Pastor Chris Kipp begins this series by talking about Vision from a familiar story in Luke 19:1-10.

Zac Nance teaches from the story of a sinful woman who anoints Jesus at a Pharisee's dinner party (Luke 7:36-50). He reminds us that God's grace is big enough to cover any and all debts.
