Nobody wants crisis. All of us are going to experience it. So don’t waste a crisis. Wasting a crisis is when it doesn’t drive you to the one who is Lord over the crisis.

Jesus is never too busy to help us with those things that prevent us from being free and healed. He sees you.

When we obey the words of Jesus, it positions us for the Spirit to forever change us.

We may not be able to predict the timing of an encounter with the Spirit, but we can wait with expectancy.

What would make it worth not letting anything get in the way, pressing through any obstacle that might present itself, staying the course for as long as it took?

We all need to be changed, but sometimes we don't know what we need God to change. Even though Jesus knows what Bartimaeus needs, He still asks Bartimaeus what he wants Him to do. Jesus wants to change us as we follow Him.

Jesus has the power to heal: physically, spiritually, emotionally, relationally. Do you believe this?

If encounters with other people have the potential to change the trajectory of our lives, then imagine what’s possible when we encounter the maker of all reality, the one who loves us deeply. We could be forever changed.

Jesus puts this fork in the road: you can either build a life serving money that promises abundance but can ’ t deliver it , actually enslaves us rather than frees us, and LOSE God who IS all abundance OR you can build a life serving God , power to free you from scarcity into abundance and get money and everything else thrown in.…

Jesus says not to worry because we are more valuable than we know. Jesus' words are an invitation to freedom to live with a spirit of generosity.

Sow sparingly, reap sparingly. Sow generously, reap generously!

God asks us to live generously out of the abundance He provides, and He knows generous living brings us freedom. It can be scary to live generously because the scarcity lie tells us there isn't enough, but that is a lie.

God invites us out of the scarcity of of this world and into his abundance as we trust him by obeying him.

We are often tempted to see abundance as a zero-sum game where abudance means having more than someone else. In Christ we can experience God as the source abundance, and we experience abundance as the more-than-enough that allows us to bless others.

Easter is God's gift to a world trapped in scarcity, inviting us into His abundance.

Serving is the (counterintuitive) path to blessing because it forms us in ways that nothing else can to become the people God created us to be.

As Christ followers Christians are called to follow the example of Jesus. One of the most challenging and rewarding things we should to is to serve others.

There are times when Jesus asks us to go. In those times He goes before us and asks us to remember the way He has shown up in our lives in the past.

In hurried and harried times like the ones we live in, where time is a precious commodity, lingering may not be something we often think about, let alone do with any degree of intentionality, but today might be a good day to revisit and reconsider that.

Listening in as Jesus prays, just hours before his death. For whom does Jesus pray? And what does he pray for them?

A right relationship with the world makes us more resilient: set apart for the sake of being sent back for the sake of blessing.

We often think of a person's final hours as some of the most important in their life. Jesus' final hours comprise nearly a third of the gospels and in those hours Jesus called his disciples to trust and believe in Him.

Belief is important. Belief that Jesus is the Word, the Light, the Son of God, Christ, Lamb of God, King of Israel, and Son of Man.

Jesus' good news is too good to keep to ourselves. We are called to Share the good news of the Gospel, and that can change our world.

Come and see! Here's what he's done for me!

Our call to change our world is a call to care for one another. We are all part of God's creation and He commands us to be our brother's keeper.

In order to change our world we need to be people of God who replace lies with truth and who work to replace exploitation with blessing.

God has positioned us to release his Kingdom come and his will being done and many times what it takes is simple faithful actions.

Jesus wants us to be part of His plan to change the world. Part of our part in His beautiful plan is to serve God and others.

God uses us to change our world, and when we commit to excellence rooted in God, we will produce good fruit that can change our world.

Integrity (a life of fully integrated life of faith, hope, love, especially in our character but also our actions and our witness) + Excellence in our work = a life that honors God and opens the door for his kingdom to come.

God allows us to be part of His plan to change the world, but that change has to start with our identity. Our identity in Christ is where everything begins.

Changing your world through your character! What if you are the answer to your prayers to bring needed change to your world?

It's Chatham Community Church's 19th anniversary! Pastor Jaime explores the feeding of the 5,000, and looks at how CCC is hoping to become a force multiplier for God's kingdom.

Three Year Vision Rollout! We are created for and called into community with Jesus at the center of it all.

God does some of his best work in the “valleys of the ordinary.” As you go about your regular rounds, be willing to find whomever God wants you to find. Be alert!

Nothing changes the atmosphere quite like a miracle, but God seldom does miracles alone—He loves to partner with His children to do what man alone cannot do.

Sometimes we need God to change the atmosphere around us by opening our eyes to see how He is working in and through and around our lives.

We are made in God’s image to release something of God’s goodness/character/grace/mercy/wisdom/power/love on earth, to replace dysfunction with blessing, in order to change the atmosphere.

In a world defined by scarcity, Jesus followers are called to change the scarcity mentality atmosphere by drawing on the abundance of God through prayer: for ourselves and through ongoing prayer for others.

Prayer is one of the most powerful tools God gives his people for affecting change, but sometimes brayer takes time. To change the atmosphere, we have to pray consistently for the long haul.

We are the most alive, most ourselves, the most like the God who created us and the most like who God created us to be when we draw on his power, his grace, his forgiveness, and allow God’s blessing to flow through us, even to those who curse us In order that we might change the atmosphere.

God is in the business of blessing and He wants to use His people to bless those around them.

We are made in God’s image to release something of God’s goodness on earth, to replace dysfunction with blessing , order, wisdom, peace , in order to change the atmosphere.

We have access to spiritual resources that can Change the Atmosphere, in a variety of situations, whether the cause is spiritual or not; God has given us access to spiritual resources to address spiritual causes.

Through the lens of Romans, we were assured that there is no condemnation for those in Christ, freeing us from the law of sin and death.

Christmas brings us a sense of Wonder at Christ, but our wonder shouldn't go back into the box along with our Christmas decorations. We can keep our wonder out throughout the year by keeping our attention on the Uncontainable Christ.

God has seen all and forgives us.

In Jesus, God has spoken an awe-inspiring word of committed love for us.
