Christwalk Church

Pastor Blake Snapp walked us through Matthew 7 and the story of the speck and the log, challenging us to stop playing the role of God by condemning others while ignoring our own blind spots. When conflict inevitably arises in our lives and relationships, our default reaction is often to fly off the handle and demand justice, forgetting that we are just as broken as the other person. Instead of rus...

Pastor Blake walked us through James 4 and the reality of relational conflict, showing us that our fights and quarrels usually stem from unfulfilled desires and passions warring within our hearts. When our expectations collide with reality, we create an offense gap that we often try to fill through blame, gossip, or demanding that others give us what only God can provide. Instead of following the...

This sermon centers on Isaiah’s call to “enlarge the place of thy tent,” urging Christwalk Church to trust God’s promise that the best is yet to come and to resist the trap of comparison with other churches.

What if the thing you have been chasing is never actually going to satisfy the deep places of your soul? Pastor Blake walked us through the final week of our series in Philippians and reminded us that true contentment is being satisfied in Christ regardless of our circumstances.

In this message from the "Joyful, Joyful" series exploring Paul's letter to the Philippians, Pastor Blake Snapp addresses the heavy reality of anxiety and contrasts the shallow cultural advice of "don’t worry, be happy" with the deep, supernatural peace offered through Jesus Christ.

What if the very thing holding you back from joy isn't your suffering—but simply your exhaustion from the journey? Pastor Blake opened Philippians 3:12–4:1 with a striking reminder: even the Apostle Paul, church planter and theologian, declared, *"I am not there yet"*—and then kept pressing forward anyway. That holy tension between where we are and where God is taking us is the heart...

In Philippians 2, Pastor Blake unpacks one of Christianity's greatest paradoxes—that true joy is found not in self-promotion, but in humility.

What if you've been moving fast through life but not really going anywhere? Pastor Blake opens Philippians 1 with a striking GPS illustration—busyness without purpose is motion without a destination.

What if the hardest place you'll ever stand isn't in the middle of a crisis—but simply in the middle of your story? In part two of the *Joyful* series, Pastor Blake opened Philippians 1:12–18 to reveal how the Apostle Paul—chained to a Roman guard, falsely imprisoned, and surrounded by rivals exploiting his suffering—somehow chose joy not after his circumstances changed, but right in the m...

Gary Pate shared the remarkable story of his and his wife's missions work, and how they left comfortable lives in Callahan, Florida, to bring the gospel to remote Andean villages and a surf town called Montanita—where a beer warehouse became a beacon of hope for hundreds. From children memorizing Scriptur...

Are your hands busy while your heart runs on empty? In Luke 10, Mary made a revolutionary choice—sitting at Jesus' feet as a disciple when culture said she shouldn't—while Martha spiraled into anxiety, distraction, and even frustration with Jesus himself.

What if the most faithful thing you could do this week is simply *stop*? Pastor Blake opens a compelling new series—*The Rest: Finding More in Less*—by revealing that Sabbath wasn't a rule bolted onto creation, but its very crown.

What if worship has nothing to do with whether you enjoyed the music? Pastor Blake challenges everything we assume about Sunday mornings, revealing that true worship—like Mary's shattered alabaster jar or the widow's last two coins—is always costly, always sacrificial. Through three powerful anchors—surrendered hearts, serving hands, and stewarded lives—this message reframes worship as a l...

What if the very thing your church has been missing isn't a better program, a bigger stage, or a stronger social media presence—but simply a people who know how to pray? On this Father's Day, Pastor Blake opened with a moving portrait of the father God created—strong enough to wield a chainsaw yet tender enough for a tea party with dolls—then drew a powerful parallel: just as the most powe...

What if the secret to spiritual growth isn't found in more programs or better circumstances, but simply in returning to God's Word?
