The 7 Relationships That Build A Meaningful Life
5d ago00:30:13Tap to summarizeYou thought God was just fixing a few things. Patching the roof. Clearing the drains. But He has something much bigger in mind.In the introduction to our brand new series — Pillars: Relationships That Build a Meaningful Life — Pastor Jerimy Kanaday opens with one of the most striking images from C.S. Lewis: God as a master builder, not renovating a cottage, but constructing a palace. And He intends to live in it Himself.Drawing from Proverbs 9:1, Ephesians 2, and 1 Peter 2, this message explores three foundational questions:- What is God doing? He is building a dwelling place for Himself.- How is He doing it? In all things and with all things.- Who is He doing it with? With the significant relationships in our lives.Over the coming weeks, we'll explore seven pillars — seven key relationships that God uses to shape us, strengthen us, and build something that lasts:The Holy Spirit · Friends · Work · Family · Health · Church · God's Word"By wisdom a house is built, and by understanding it is established." — Proverbs 24:3Scriptures Referenced:Proverbs 9:1Proverbs 24:3–4Isaiah 11:1–3Isaiah 54:2–3Genesis 3:8–9Exodus 25:8Psalm 23:6Matthew 16:18Matthew 22:37–39Ephesians 2:19–221 Corinthians 3:11–13, 161 Peter 2:4–5Romans 8:28Romans 12:2Galatians 4:19James 3:17Revelation 21:3Tap to read Pastor Jerimy's notes: https://www.christchapel.live/s/Pillars-Introduction.pdf

If You Say So
2w ago00:30:42Tap to summarizePeter had fished all night and caught nothing. His nets were clean. He was done. And then Jesus climbed into his boat and said — go back out.In this guest message at Christ Chapel, Pastor Rusty unpacks Luke 5:1–11 and the two words that changed Peter's life forever: "If you say so." In the Greek, that phrase means nevertheless — in spite of what I've tried, in spite of what I've lost, in spite of how tired I am. I'll obey.Provision waits on obedience. And it's obedience that activates faith.Pastor Rusty walks through four movements in the story of Peter's calling:Let Him In — Jesus stepped into Peter's boat without asking permission. He steps into your life the same way.Let Him Speak — Shallow Christianity can never encounter the depths of faith. Go where he tells you to go.Let Him Heal — Peter saw himself clearly in the presence of Jesus — and Jesus still chose him.Let Him Lead — They left everything and found everything."The greatest miracle in this story wasn't the catch of fish. It was Jesus getting into Peter's boat.""Obedience isn't the end of discipleship. It's the evidence that we're a disciple.""Counterfeit Christianity is built on consumerism. True Christianity is built on surrender and obedience."Scriptures Referenced:Luke 5:1–11Luke 17:3–4Luke 19:1–11Matthew 16:24–27John 10:27–28Romans 2:4Romans 5:8Revelation 3:20Hebrews 10:36Ecclesiastes 12:13Micah 6:8Tap to read Pastor Rusty's notes: https://www.christchapel.live/s/IF-YOU-SAY-SO-Pastor-Rusty-Notes.pdf

Delight of the Soul
3w ago00:33:13Tap to summarizeThere's a difference between visiting God's presence and actually living there.In this special sermon at Christ Chapel, Pastor Rusty Nelson unpacks one of the most misunderstood verses in the Bible: "Delight yourself in the Lord, and He will give you the desires of your heart." This isn't a promise that God gives us whatever we want. It's a promise that when we draw close to Him, He transforms what we want.Drawing from Psalm 27 and Psalm 37, Pastor Rusty traces a progression David lived out in the middle of one of the most chaotic seasons of his life — surrounded by enemies, betrayed by people he loved, forced from the sanctuary — and still choosing worship over worry.Tap to read Pastor Rusty's notes: https://www.christchapel.live/s/Delight-of-the-Soul-Pastor-Rusty-Notes-ca7m.pdf

How Offense Becomes a Stronghold in Your Mind
3w ago00:33:13Tap to summarizeOffense is inevitable — but what you do with it changes everything.In Week 5 of Project 31: The Road to Wisdom, Pastor Jerimy Kanaday teaches that an offense to our heart can lead to a stronghold in our minds. Drawing from Proverbs, Matthew 24, and 2 Corinthians 10, he shows how unresolved offense quietly cuts us off from God and from the people around us — and what it actually takes to break free.The big idea: injury is the intersection where we find healing or stay hurt. Both are painful. Only one has the power to transform us.Pastor Jerimy walks through four practical steps for breaking the cycle of offense:- Recognize the enemy's strategy- Repent for the offenses you've taken on — real or unreal- Renounce your agreement with the lies you've believed- Resist future attacks and assignmentsScriptures Referenced:- Matthew 4:17- Matthew 6:33- Matthew 24:10–14- Proverbs 4:23- Proverbs 10:12- Proverbs 16:28- Proverbs 17:9- Proverbs 18:19- 2 Corinthians 2:10–11- 2 Corinthians 6:16–17- 2 Corinthians 10:4–6- Genesis 3:1- Genesis 4:6–7- Luke 17:1, 3–4- Titus 2:11–12- 1 Peter 5:8–9- Revelation 3:19Tap to read Pastor Jerimy's notes: https://www.christchapel.live/s/Project-31-wk5.pdf

Your Mind, Moments, & Money, & Who Really Owns Them
Jun 2800:30:37Tap to summarizeWhat does your money reveal about your faith — and who's really in charge of your life?In Week 4 of Project 31: The Road to Wisdom, Pastor Jerimy Kanaday teaches that our kingdom finds its clearest expression in three domains: our mind (directed attention), our moments (time), and our money (financial resources). All three are areas where we have agency — and all three reveal who our true Lord is.Drawing from Proverbs and the teachings of Jesus in Matthew 6, Pastor Jerimy walks through the five financial pillars Proverbs addresses — earning, spending, saving, investing, and giving — and lands on a conviction: giving is the primary means of grace that keeps money from mastering us."Everybody in this room is tithing. You're giving your first and your best to someone or something. What is it?" — Pastor Jerimy Kanaday"My pocketbook was baptized too." — Sam Houston"I am afraid the only safe rule is to give more than we can spare." — C.S. Lewis, Mere ChristianityScriptures Referenced:Matthew 4:17Matthew 6:19–21, 24, 33Proverbs 3:9–10, 27Proverbs 6:6–8Proverbs 11:24Proverbs 13:11, 22Proverbs 22:4, 7Proverbs 23:4, 26Malachi 3:102 Corinthians 9:71 Timothy 6Tap to read Pastor Jerimy's notes: https://www.christchapel.live/s/Project-31-wk4.pdf
