Chaplain Jeff Adams

1 John 5:18 says the whole world is under the control of the evil one. This is because most live for the devil & not God (Jesus said only a few will enter that narrow gate...). In John 13:18-30, we catch a glimpse of what happens when a disciple chooses the wrong direction. Friends, stay close to Jesus. It's better & safer that way!

In an unexpected moment, the Creator of the universe teaches by example in our text. Similarly, Pastor Adams experiences & an unexpected thing highlighted the lesson in our text, making it more personal than he anticipated.

This is a big moment - one of only a few times this particular big thing happened & others witnessed. In this last part of John 12 there's a ton of really good & practical information. It's a long message, but chock full of good stuff!

After the Triumphal Entry, Jesus deals with a situation in a way the disciples were likely not expecting. As we go through this passage, we discover more golden nuggets which can help us through life - even when we feel alone and/or unsupported.

Pastor Adams had Scott Lerwick from Boise Bible College speak on this passage in John which covers what we call "Palm Sunday." Listen for a fresh perspective through our expository series, "According to John," & hear a little about a small but excellent, regionally accredited Bible College in Idaho.

Often people don't want to hear the truth, so they try to silence those who speak it. Historically, this is too common - even among God's people. We see this in our text & in life. Pastor Adams shares some of his own personal testimony, concerning this. Listen & learn!

Sometimes extravagant is okay when it comes to glorifying God, & sometimes people are adamant about their own lies. Study & learn with us through this fascinating part of John's account of Jesus' life on earth in the flesh.

Although this is a full & lengthy chapter with loads of good stuff, Pastor Adams makes it a short & timely delivery. Give it a listen. It might be just what you need right now.

Adapted Christmas messages from 2011, 2015, & years of delivering seasonal ones like this morphed into a special one for 2022. Listen & learn what the holiday is supposed to be about.

This was an unusual message delivered via livestream to Central Kitsap Christian Church from 5000+ miles away in Ghent, Belgium. The text is from the end of chapter 8 through chapter 9.

This is a basic Thanjsgiving message just in time for the season. May it bless you as you dwell on all the many reasons to be grateful to God for His abundant provisions!

Pastor Adams delivered this message remotely from Rich Hill Christian Church in Missouri to Central Kitsap Christian Church in Washington. The Missouri church is close to 150 years old, & was the 2nd congregation he served as a youth minister 35 years prior. Journey with us through this part of Jesus' ministry inside the temple. In this passage He pulls no punches as He exposes the true leader of...

They didn't feel enslaved, as most of us don't. Yet, Jesus has a refreshingly positive message which can brighten anyone's dark lives - even those oblivious to their own shortcomings. Pay careful attention. This message could be perfect for you right now!

Brace yourself for one of the most controversial messages yet. Set aside an hour for this one, & it's well worth it. Learn why the passage is questionable, & why Pastor Adams calls it "abused." Get ready to learn!

The Pharisees & other religious leaders thought Jesus, the officers, & the crowds were confused, ignorant, & misled. As it turns out, they were projecting their own problems onto others. Join us in this part of our journey through John, & discover more evidence of the brilliance, providence, & sovereignty of God. Pay careful attention. He just might have a message in the text you need to hear righ...

This is a complex subject. Put on your thinking caps, & learn the Biblical teaching about the indwelling Holy Spirit. In our text it is barely introduced. Here we look ahead & see what we need to know.

Jesus so easily could have flaunted His power, but instead He showed remarkable constraint. Journey through this part of John which highlights this small part of His life on earth in human form, & see His great example of meekness. We can learn so much from His perfect example!

Jesus had & still has many critics - even from his own biological family. Still, He loved/loves everyone & did/does so with such purpose & foresight. In this text, we will witness Him metaphorically "drop the mic" in the temple, & clearly see His brilliance in the moment.

We've been anticipating the "saddest verse in the Bible" (Pastor Adams' opinion), & in this message we discover it. Not only that, we all will remember exactly where it is - chapter & verse. Along the journey we'll learn sometimes it's best to hear what is needed, rather than what is wanted. Read along, & be challenged!

Two other Gospels provide more insight into this multiple-miracle event. Read along and visualize this captivating & dramatic historical moment. There's a lesson or more in there for each of us for sure. What might God have ready for you to learn right now?

Our Father owns "cattle on a thousand hills (Psalm 50:10)," & Jesus demonstrates His abundance quite well in this historical event. Pay attention to background people & things. They matter more than most might realize. This fascinating part of Jesus ministry reminds of this for sure! (The quote, "They had a meeting!" was credited on the slides of Pastor Adams, but not audibly. It's from Dr. Keith...

At this point they wanted to kill Him, yet He masterfully disrupted their unified attacks. While He had them off-step, He delivered painful truth - that He was made the Judge of their souls. Ouch! Read along and learn how remarkably well Jesus flipped the script on His critics as John chapter 5 wraps up & gives another reference of when He claimed deity.

Something's missing. For real. Get your Bible ready & see for yourself. While you're at it, learn something new - like you don't always have to have faith in Jesus to be healed by Him. Sound controversial? Open up your Bible, read for yourself, & learn some more wisdom from God in this first part of John 5.

Journey through this part of Jesus' story & learn not to dwell on the sensational, but rather validate Jesus with your testimony as a priority. Listen & maybe you'll hear something like never before. May God bless your evangelistic actions like he did this Samaritan woman.
