What happens when God feels silent? In this powerful Mother’s Day message from Esther 4, Pastor Chase reminds us that even when we cannot see, hear, or feel God, He is still faithfully working behind the scenes. The book of Esther never mentions the name of God once—yet His fingerprints are everywhere. Through the story of Esther, Mordecai, and the unseen providence of God, we discover a timeless...

In this episode we take a look at whether what we wear to church matters, how to reach the next generation, and how to raise up the next generation.

How long can you stay stuck in the middle before it costs you everything? In this message from 1 Kings 18, we step into one of the most dramatic moments in Scripture at Mount Carmel—where the prophet Elijah confronts a nation paralyzed by spiritual indecision. The question he asks still echoes today: “How long will you waver between two opinions?” Many claim God with their lips but give their hear...

What happens when a heart once fully devoted to God begins to drift? In this powerful message from Fault Line Faith , we examine the rise and fall of King David in 2 Samuel 11:1–5. David was a giant slayer, a worshiper, and a man after God’s own heart—yet even he was not above falling into sin. Through David’s story, we see how small compromises, unchecked desires, laziness, and misplaced faith ca...

What happens when the greatest threat to your faith is… you? In Week 2 of our Fault Line Faith series, we dive into 1 Samuel 15 and the tragic story of King Saul—a man who had every advantage, every opportunity, and every blessing from God, yet still fell because he trusted himself more than he trusted the Lord. Pride is subtle, dangerous, and destructive. It convinces us that partial obedience is...

What happens when we place our faith in the wrong things? In this opening message of our new series, Fault Line Faith , we step into Judges 6 and the story of Gideon to see how quickly hearts can drift from trusting God to trusting self. Israel had seen miracles, victories, and the faithfulness of God—yet one generation later they were hiding in caves, oppressed and broken. Through Gideon’s callin...

This Easter at Union Baptist, we looked at one of the most powerful encounters in the life of Jesus from John 8. A woman is caught in the act. Her sin is exposed. Her shame is public. And her future looks finished. But then Jesus steps in. In a moment where condemnation was expected, grace showed up instead. This message is for anyone who has ever carried regret… Anyone who feels defined by their...

What do you do when God calls you to step into something bigger than yourself? In this Palm Sunday message from Joshua 1, we step into a pivotal moment in Israel’s story—a new leader, a new land, and a call to move forward in faith after 40 years of wandering. Joshua is commissioned to lead, but with that calling comes a challenge many of us know well: overcoming fear, rejecting spiritual complace...

What if the greatest thing keeping you from God… is religion? In this message from The Road to Redemption , we walk from the Shema in Deuteronomy to the story of the Good Samaritan in Luke 10—and uncover a powerful truth: it’s possible to know all the right things about God and still miss Him completely. This sermon challenges the difference between empty religion and a life-changing relationship...

We’ve all had “should’ve, could’ve, would’ve” moments… Missed opportunities that make you wonder, what if? In this message from Numbers 13–14, we look at a moment where an entire nation stood on the edge of God’s promise—but let fear talk them out of it. Twelve men saw the same land. Two walked by faith. Ten were paralyzed by fear. Same situation. Different lens. What if the greatest thing standin...

Why do we struggle with God’s commands? In Book of Exodus 32 , Israel turns away from God and builds a golden calf—right after witnessing His miracles. The problem wasn’t lack of evidence… it was impatience and misplaced worship. In this sermon, Pastor Chase breaks down: Why God’s commands are guardrails, not handcuffs How waiting on God can expose the idols in our hearts The danger of religious a...

Pastor Chase and Dr. Sharpe recap Jacob and Joesph as we look at the sovereignty of God in the midst of uncertainty.

In this week’s sermon, Donovan Brock continues our Road to Redemption series by exploring how God used Moses to lead His people out of slavery in Egypt. But the story doesn’t stop there. Moses’ leadership points to an even greater deliverance—one that would come through Jesus Christ, offering the true and lasting freedom we have today.

In this message from Genesis 50:20 , we kick off our new series The Road to Redemption by walking through the life of Joseph —a man whose life went nothing like he planned, yet unfolded exactly according to God’s purpose. From betrayal and slavery to false accusations and prison, Joseph’s story reminds us that God is at work even when circumstances feel confusing, unfair, or forgotten. What others...

Have you ever found yourself resisting God—or running from Him altogether? In this message from Genesis 32 , we step into one of the most intense and personal moments in Scripture: Jacob’s midnight wrestling match with God. Drawing from the raw realities of fear, regret, pride, and uncertainty, this sermon explores why we so often fight God when He’s trying to bless us. From Jacob’s lifelong patte...

Testimony Time! In this special episode, Pastor Chase is joined by Dr. Sharpe and his wife, Julianna, for an honest and hope-filled conversation about rapture trauma —how fear-based teaching can shape faith, anxiety, and our view of God. Julianna also shares part of her personal testimony, opening up about the struggle to pursue a genuine, personal relationship with Jesus—even well into adulthood....

Series recap episode with Pastor Chase and Dr. Sharpe. In this week episode we also look at how Christians should view the media as well as some things recently taking the media by storm.

In this week's message Pastor Chase continues through our series Upside Down. W e’re opening Genesis 22 and walking with Abraham into one of the most challenging and faith-stretching moments in all of Scripture. It’s a passage about testing, trust, and learning to place what matters most to us into the hands of a God who always provides. If you’ve ever felt like your faith was being stretched…...

In this episode of Upside Down , we sit down with Dr. Sharpe to take a deeper look at one of the most familiar—and most misunderstood—stories in Scripture: the Tower of Babel (Genesis 11:1–9) . Together, we explore why familiarity with God’s Word can sometimes lead to spiritual laziness, and how the Babel story is about far more than languages, tall towers, or scattered people. From the command to...

The story of Noah is often treated like a children’s tale—but Scripture presents it as something far deeper and far more sobering. In this message from Genesis 6, we confront the uncomfortable realities of human sin, God’s holiness, and divine judgment, while discovering that the flood is not ultimately a story of an angry God—but a gracious one. As humanity’s rebellion reaches its darkest point,...

Pastor Chase and Dr. Sharpe sit down to recap weeks 1 and 2 of our current series Upside Down. We also take a look at a couple different current events happening around us and attempt to answer how disciples of Jesus should respond.

What went wrong with the world—and why does temptation still feel so powerful today? In week two of our Upside Down series, we walk through Genesis 3 to uncover how everything God created good was turned upside down by sin. This message exposes the enemy’s strategy from the very beginning: to make us doubt God’s Word, question God’s work, and reject God’s worthiness. From the Garden of Eden to our...

Upside Down – Identity Before Activity (Genesis 1) What if the change you’re looking for this year isn’t driven by motivation—but by identity? In the opening message of our new series Upside Down , we go all the way back to Genesis 1 to rediscover who we were created to be. From New Year’s resolutions and spiritual discipline to Marvel movies and the gospel story written on every human heart, this...
