Names have power. You know that because everything changed when mom called using your middle name, right? Pastor Chuck suggests that we throw around God's name carelessly, we make Him less, missing out on His name's deep meaning and everything God wants to be for us...which is everything, and the only thing, we need.

Pastor Chuck continues breaking down the second command and the creative issues that cause us to create God in our own image--making Him far less than how powerful, knowing, and present than He truly is. The answer: Pastor Chuck suggests it's love that's only found in a relationship with our jealous God.

It's nearly impossible to wrap our minds around the immensity of God, yet we still try to create God the way WE would like Him to be. Pastor Chuck calls this "creative issues," and in doing so, we make God out lesser than He actually is. Listen as Pastor Chuck explains.

Rules are a part of life. Some rules are crazy. Some rules are harsh. Regardless, rules are needed to keep order and to know how to best live. As the Ruler of the universe, God created the 10 Commandments as a set of rules to show us how to best live. As Pastor Chuck explains, when we know why we have the rules, it makes a lot more sense. And the rules all start with making the Ruler (God) YOUR ru...

Christianity gets a bad rap for only being about rules. It's not, though. It's far more than that. The rules are only part of this relationship with God. With that said, Pastor Chuck begins his new sermon series "TEN COMMANDS" by laying out for us what these commands measure and what they are there for in the first place.

As the new year begins, it's never a bad idea to take a step back from your life and ask, "Why am I here? What's my purpose?" In the story of John the Baptist and the life of Jesus, Pastor Alex explains how your purpose is clear and your mission is now.

Raising kids is an honor...and a difficult task. This is primarily because as we teach them to grow, we continue to grow as well. By looking at the one verse in the Bible we have about Jesus growth as a child, Pastor Chuck reminds us that adults still have some growing to do as well.

HATE. It has so many faces and so many expressions and it so easily fills our hearts leaving no room for love. But by looking at the Old Testament story of Jacob and the story of Jesus' birth, Pastor Chuck shows us how we can eliminate hate and let love into our lives.

Songs of joy fill the air around Christmastime, but it doesn't always fill our lives. By looking at the birth of Jesus and an epic story from the Old Testament, Pastor Chuck shares how we can find joy and make room for it in our lives this Christmas.

The word "hope" gets thrown around a lot at Christmas, yet once December 25 passes, it seems like we missed it altogether or doubt we ever had it in the first place. In the first sermon of our Advent series, "No Room for Christmas," Pastor Chuck explains how to make room for hope--a different kind of hope offered through Jesus--that will last far beyond the Christmas season.

Are you getting mixed messages about whether or not to stay in your marriage? Whether or not you should quit? Try again? Start over? But God's love doesn't quit. Today Pastor Chuck not only explains how to receive that love, but how that kind of love is possible in ALL our families.

As we age, memories can be the first thing to go. When it comes to love, that isn't necessarily a bad thing though. When we hurt, loving like God asks us to love is hard. Pastor Chuck shows us in God's Word how forgetting is just as important as remember when it comes to loving people...especially the people it's tough to love.

So what is it? The definition of love--or at least what it looks like--is different for everyone and seemingly changes with every new event and new emotion. So what is it? There's only one place to look. Starting this week, Pastor Chuck takes us on a journey through what's been commonly called "The Love Chapter," 1 Corinthians 13. Let's eliminate the confusion and let God lay...

We were happy to host Ted Lowe of Family First and last year's guest speaker at Marriage For Life. Ted is an incredible communicator, writing and speaking for over 20 years across the country, strengthening marriages and families. This morning, Ted presents a convicting and practical message on the power (good and bad) of words.

Welcome to Global Missions Sunday at Dayspring! With Dayspringers heading to Ecuador, Nicaragua, Thailand, Mali, and Central Asia and a new partnership to build a church in northern Thailand here in 2025-26, Pastor Chuck challenges us to ask the questions for ourselves: What is Good News? Who needs my compassion? And what am I willing to sacrifice in giving my life for the Gospel?

What's happening to you? What direction are you heading? If you slow down long enough, you might see God extending you grace in this moment, protecting you from something else and preparing you for something more. Listen to Paul's story and watch how Pastor Chuck connects it to you today.

When faced with persecution, or hard times in general, somethings got to give. What has to give is us. Listen as Pastor Chuck connects the book of Acts to our lives today and how to respond faithfully when the church is faced with adversity.

This is such a good message for the church living in America these past few weeks and months. Outside forces are causing division within, so how does God respond? How do we respond? Using the story of Stephen, the Christianity's first martyr, Pastor Chuck explains how valuing Jesus above all else fills us with the faith, grace, and power required to lose our lives and change the world.

You confused? Scared? Sad? Angry? After these past few weeks, we feel what you feel. For whatever it is we've been feeling in the midst of this chaos, Pastor Chuck suggests it's because of one problem: we've become our own gods. And the solution is staring us right in the face. Listen to his sales pitch, and ACT NOW!

When you are at your worst, the enemy fights dirtiest, making it personal: reminding us of our past or how worthless we are. As we wrap up the "Armor Up" series, Pastor Chuck explains how combat personal attacks by picking up the most lethal weapon--the "Sword of the Spirit which is the Word of God." But pick it up now, not just when attacked, so we can become skilled with its...

Ok, so a helmet isn't senseless; it does protect your head. But the helmet cannot protect everything. It can't protect your senses and Satan knows that. In this message, Pastor Chuck not only explains how your senses are vulnerable, but also to protect yourself from Satan's subtile but deadly attacks.

If you ever wrestle with doubt, you're not alone. And Satan knows doubt is the sweet spot for turning people away from God. Since we know it's coming, how do we fight it? In today's message, Pastor Chuck shares from Scripture just the piece of armor needed to deflect doubt and maintain a strong faith.

Ever feel like you're distracted by things that don't matter? You're fighting some of the same battles over and over again and you're getting nowhere? Satan's like that. As we continue to armor up, Pastor Chuck suggests it's our footwear that will prepare us to fight against and for the things that really matter.

Plain and simple, Satan wants to attack your heart, hit your vital organs, right where it counts, and there is only one thing you can do about it. Pastor Chuck continues to help us assemble our armor to protect us from the attacks of evil, and this one involves the indispensable work of restoring our relationship with God through Jesus.

No one is immune from facing attacks. It's not if, but when. Fear, doubt, anxiety can overwhelm, take you to the brink of losing all faith in God. It's a good thing that, in advance, God gives us everything need to prepare for these attacks: it's called "The Armor of God." Over the next month, Pastor Chuck is going to break it down piece by piece beginning with the singular p...
