Team Faith Podcast

Speaking live at the Camp Coker GNCC on May 30, 2020, Team Faith's Chuck Lemaster expounds on the topic of "Heaven." There are many questions that the Bible does't directly address, but many answers, as well - especially when placed in the context of WHO God is and WHAT His purpose is. We knnow for certain that heaven is wonderful and that God has a purpose while we are here! 

The conclusion of a 13 part series - learning the Story of God as written in the Bible! Special guest, 2x World Grand Prix Champion, Trampas Parker, shares his story at the beginning and offers a powerful conclusion at the end of the service. Team Faith's Chuck Lemaster takes the audience through some prophecy and explains that "What God said He would do, He did! What God says He has yet...

This is "Church at the Racetrack!" Hence, background noise and distractions - yet the message is clear: God had a plan from the beginning of time! Genesis 1 shows God creating mankind in His own image and the rest of the Bible, The Story of God, is all about Him redeeming and making a way for that unique and special creation to be in right relationship with Him. This is part 12 of a 13 p...

"Through the Ages and the Pages" has been a fascinating journey through the Bible! Week 10 left off with Jesus being "The Savior of the World." But how? Nicodemus comes to Jesus with a question on his mind. But before he can even ask, Jesus says, "You must be born again!" Which for Nick, that was the first time that phrase had ever been used and it was rather uncomfor...

Week 9 of a 13 series "Through the Ages and the Pages" (Through the Bible) brings the audience to the blank page that divides the Old Testament and the New Testament. That page represents 400 years. Often referred to as "The Silent Years" because there is no record of God speaking through prophets, judges, kings, etc. Actually, people gt the impression that God took his hands o...

"Through the Ages and the Pages" has been a journey through the Bible. It's a story of God's love for His special creation. He made a promise and although ALWAYS in jeopardy, that promise remained steadfast. Week 9 took the audience through 400 years of "silence." Week 10 is the coming of the Messiah! Something new is on the horizon! Something amazing is happening! An...

Part 8 of a 13 part series - Through the Bible in 13 messages. God has made a promise and the narrative has arrived at the time of the prophets. And yet, the people don't listen. Captivity awaits but God's hand, his plan and his purpose shine through! Just as the nation reaches it's breaking point, God reveals he will use terrible circumstances to accomplish his will. Team Faith&apo...

This is week 7 of going through the Bible in 13 messages. God has a plan and a purpose to redeem and restore His special creation: you and me! Yet at every turn, that promise is in peril. God raises up judges to turn the people back to Him and keep his promise on track. As soon as the judge dies, the people forget. God raises Samson who really has no interest in God's promise, God's fait...

Part 6 of a 13 parts series: Through the Ages and the Pages. The Bible, the story of God! We were created for relationship. That was broken with the original sin and God has been on a Redemptive Mission ever since! He promised that a descendant of Eve would "crush the serpent's head" and then He made a promise to Abraham that would ultimately bring Gen 3:14 true. In part 6 of the st...

As we work our way through the Bible, we often get stopped with all those strange and unusual laws in the Old Testament. Some people conclude that God is just a control freak! As Christians, we know better, but not really sure what to do with a commandment prohibiting someone from trimming the edge of their beard! In week 5 of this 13 part series, Team Faith's Chuck Lemaster takes a closer lo...

Through the Ages and the Pages: Week 4 is the story of the Exodus and how that relates to The Triumphal Entry that we celebrate on Palm Sunday! God made a promise to Abraham to use him to bless the entire world. We know that Jesus was certainly that blessing...but the story of how God moved and set that up is absolutely amazing! Team Faith's Chuck Lemaster is taking the GNCC Racin' Natio...

If you've ever felt that God has forgotten, overlooked or ignored you - you're not alone! Chuck takes the audience through the story of Joseph at the Steele Creek GNCC. The story is amazing - but even more amazing is how God used Joseph to preserve the covenant He made with Abraham! This is part 3 of a 13 part series: Through the Ages and the Pages - The Story of God!

This is the 2nd message from Through the Ages and the Pages: A 13 week walk through the Bible. Team Faith's Chuck Lemaster describes the promise God made to Abraham all the way back in Genesis and shows how the "Abrahamic Covenant" is central to all the rest of the Bible. God kept his promise, even when Abraham messed up! We know God will continue to keep his word because he already...

"Through the Ages and the Pages!" This is part 1 of a 13 part series going through the Bible. It's a fascinating look at the story of God! The Bible has been deemed "unnecessary" and "irrelevant" to modern society. But so much of what we don't understand is because we've never looked at it the way that it actually unfolded. One continuous storyline: Cre...

What are you thankful for? Team Faith set a pumpkin in front of their pits and challenged people to write down what they are thankful for! Chuck then read off some of the items at chapel, and related it to Luke 17; the story of Jesus healing 10 lepers...but only one came back. The story is so much more than, "You should say 'thank you!'" That one came back becasue he recognize...

We live in a very political age. Yet, 1st century Israel was even MORE political than this! Chuck provides some interesting background for the world that Jesus was born into - and then reviews how Jesus lived into it. There are practical applications for us, whether we are "Democrat" or "Republican." Jesus always had an eye on the Big "K" Kingdom and not the little &q...

Probably one of the most recognizable parables ever: The Sower and the Seeds! Preached like you've probably never heard before, though! Not only is it delivered at a prestigous motocross track (High Point, PA), but Team Faith's Chuck Lemaster makes the connection for what Jesus was really driving at! It's how you listen that determines the soil of your heart. 

Dug from the archives, this is a never-before-published recording from the Mountaineer GNCC in 2016. It was close to election time 2016 and references are made to the fear Americans were experiencing at the time. Obviously now we know that the election turned out very different than anticipated! This is a timely reminder that God in charge of our individual lives and that prayers do get answered....

One of our Team Faith chaplains said at X-Games 2010, "We don't know who will still be serving Jesus in 10 years." Sad but true - not all in attendance that day are still faithful. King Asa is an Old Testament king who started out so good, so faithful! But by the end of his life he forgot all about God. How can we avoid the same pitfall? Chuck discusses this topic at the Tomahawk GN...

I think I think like God thinks when God thinks about me! (Read that twice!!!) We think we have God figured out. We do good; He's happy. We do bad; He's mad. But when Jesus was on this earth, He was radical because He told people what God was really like! And according to Jesus, He isn't really like what we think! Jesus told a story of a wayward son who was welcomed home by the fath...

At Round 1 of the 2018 GNCC season, Chuck opened by explaining who he is, who Team Faith is, and why we do what we do! He shares his own story and the story of Team Faith as he walks the audience through II Timothy 3:16-4:5. These are Paul's last words to his protege, he knows he is going to die and charges Timothy with, "Preach the Word." A tradition that continues to this day at c...

The shooting in Las Vegas dominates our news feed. There is unimaginable evil in this world. Moments before the shooting, Americans were arguing over the flag and National Anthem. Team Faith's Chuck Lemaster presents Truth from God's Word that helps put these issues in perspective for the Christian listener. The challenge many people face is to stand up for what's right while "...

Have you ever felt that your prayers bounced off the ceiling? That God wasn't paying attention? Or maybe He forgot about you? Chuck tackles this question by looking at the 400 years of silence in between the writing of the Old Testament and the New. Chuck originally preached this message at the Snowshoe GNCC, 2017. This recording is from Chuck preaching the same message at this home church, C...

This is a recording of the Tribute Service done at Steele Creek GNCC for Chris and Cody Gragg. Although sound quality is rough, listeners can still hear what was said that evening. Team Faith's Chuck Lemaster spoke about the peace Jesus gives and how we can have hope even in tragedy. Chris and Cody left be3hind a great legacy and one of Cody's friends said it best; "It comes back to...

Moments before chapel started at the Sparta GA GNCC, Team Faith Pit Pastor Chuck Lemaster received official word that Chris and Cody Gragg (father and son) were killed in an auto accident on the way to race. This message spontaneously wrestles with the question, "Why do bad things happen to good people?" It's a broken world, but there is hope in Jesus Christ.
