Sunday Sermons and Devotions at Asbury Chapel

While we tend to discuss the magi and the star on Epiphany Sunday, Pastor Whit gives a character profile of King Herod, warning us of fighting God and His plan. We are challenged to examine our lives, encouraged not to resist God’s redemption and to allow Jesus to be the true King of our lives. Listen in...

On this first Sunday after Christmas, Pastor Whit reminds us that God is in the business of redeeming stories. Starting in Genesis 30, going to Jeremiah 31, and see fulfillment in Matthew 2, God tells us to dry our eyes and restrain our weeping because of what He is doing through Christ. Listen in...

Romans 1 calls us to preach to the world the good news of Jesus, sending us out. But who are we, the sent? 2 Corinthians 4 tells us we are jars of clay, fragile vessels that God deposits His glory into. God uses broken things to do His marvelous work! Listen in for more...

On the third Sunday of Advent, we learned about how God makes gardens out of deserts. The prophet Isaiah brings hope to the people that a way would be made for them—the way of holiness—so that they could return to God and have a crown of everlasting joy! We were challenged to spread that joy that comes from God and the congregation received a gift that would help them do that. Listen in...

On this second Sunday of Advent, we learned that the Advent and Christmas seasons are the most evangelistic times of the year. All that Christ has accomplished for us happened because He came to dwell among us. Without His coming, nothing that saves us would have happened. How important that everyone know the best of the good news! Christ has come! Listen in for more...

On this first Sunday of Advent, we were challenged to live like Christ has come and Christ will come again! Matthew 24.36-44 teaches that we are to be found ready when the Lord returns. May we be found prepared and so please our Lord. Listen in...

On this final week of our series on "From Worry to Worship," Pastor Whit highlighted Psalm 23.4-5, how God prepares a table in the presence of our enemies—whether those who seek our demise or our problems and worries. This provision from God is dependent upon whether or not He is our shepherd or not. Do you hear His voice calling out to you? Listen in...

Last week we learned about the importance of moving from worry to worship. Today, Pastor Whit discusses what to do with worry so that we can actually move toward a lifestyle of worship. 1 Peter 5.6-7 gives us the answer, commanding us to cast our anxieties on God because He cares for us. Listen in...

We begin a 3 week series on worry with an emphasis on moving "from worry to worship". Using Deuteronomy 6.4-9, Pastor Whit talks about how worry breaks the heart, robs the soul, and drains our strength. But when we surround ourselves with the things of God, all our heart, soul, and strength are given to God. We move from worry to worship. THIS should be our default response. Listen in...

Miss Laney Martin encourages us from John 15, as she speaks on Youth Led Sunday. Laney spoke on being in the world and not of the world, and how we are to live as those who belong to Jesus. Listen in...

Asbury highlighted the importance of Stephen Ministry, and Pastor Whit interviewed one of our Stephen Leaders, Mrs. Stephanie Grant. Listen in as they talked about the program and how it fulfills carrying one another burdens (Galatians 6) and helps move people to a mature growth in Christ (Ephesians 4)...

Pastor Whit covered Genesis 32.22-23 this Sunday, reminding us that it is ok with wrestle with God. Whereas the world will dole out an unfair fight in life, God offers a fair fight for us to work out our relationship with Him. God reminded Jacob (who became 'Israel') who was boss, dislocating his hip. We were asked the question, "What is God dislocating to remind you that He is in control?" Listen...

This Sunday we had the privilege of hearing from Mr. Palmer Griffin. Palmer beautifully handled Jeremiah 1.4-10 in his sermon "Jeremiah: the man and his message". So much wisdom here, so listen in...

Pastor Whit shared his testimony with us, helping us see his own need for restoration and revival--inviting us to experience the same (Psalm 85.4-7). Listen in...

We concluded Mission Month by highlighting our ministry partner North Georgia Works. Director of Ministry, Jason Lester, came to share a crucial message on sharing hope, using as his text Lamentations 3.1-24. Pastor Whit concluded by inviting people to into sharing hope through Jesus Christ. Those who have hope are called to share it! Listen in...

Today Pastor Whit challenged us to sow! We will reap what we sow. If we sow nothing, we reap nothing. If we sow greatly, we will reap greatly (Galatians 6). On the heels of a wonderful presentation by Family Promise with Lindsey McCamy, we were encouraged to be found faithful by Christ when He returns (Matthew 25). Listen in...

After hearing a blessed message from Jennifer Bero from My Sister's Place shelter, Pastor Whit took time to address the heavy darkness that has shown its face in our world. Listen in for a message on "Sin is the Problem"...

It's Mission Month! And we're excited to celebrate local ministry partners each Sunday. We were blessed to hear from Steve Nissley of Good News @ Noon. Listen in for his message on Luke 10.30-37 and for more about their ministry...

We finished up our series on Nahum with chapter 3 verses 8-19. Pastor Whit drew a connection from God's warning Nineveh to Jesus's weeping over Jerusalem. "Why not today" is what we asked, saying that while there's still time we should return to the Lord. A day will come—like the fatal wound to Nineveh or the overturning of the very stones of Jerusalem—when our chances are up. "Why not today?" Lis...

We covered Nahum 3.1-7 in this fourth of five sermons on the book of Nahum. "The Jealousy of God" is seen in how God will not be made an enemy without consequence. We were personally challenged to receive daily bread from God, rather than try to make our own luck to our own peril. God seeks to bless, and those who seek Him receive the blessing. Listen in...

"The Jealousy of God: Part III" covered Nahum 2.3-13, as God shows Assyria and its capital, Nineveh, just how futile it is to oppose God. It begged the question for us, "What in my life is futile and needs to be surrendered to God?" Summary: Nineveh, despite its strength and might, will be defeated by God due to its opposition to Him. This serves as a warning to all who oppose God, as their effort...

We continued our series on "Jealousy of God" as we dove into Nahum 1.9-2.2. Verse 15 contains the key to our response to God's call to be restored, how we are to "fulfill our vows". God is asking for devotion, but the question to be answered is "Will you come and be devoted?"

Today we began our series on Nahum, recognizing "The Jealousy of God" as the driving force between God's destruction of Nineveh and His salvation of Judah. His jealousy is a holy pursuit of endearing endurance. The same God who loved Israel and Judah then, loves His redeemed people today. The same God who held Assyria accountable according to His wisdom will hold nations accountable today. The sam...

"What do to with directions" is a message about the simplicity of following directions. If we are given directions, we follow them, being sure that we end up at the destination that has been laid out for us. The word of God gives us the directions, the instructions, for living out God's will in the world. Just as Jesus was about fulfilling God's mission in the world, so the Church is called to do...

Asbury Chapel’s beliefs are centered around the infallibility of the Holy Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments. The church affirms the historical creeds and the Global Methodist Church’s Catechism, but ultimately, all beliefs are derived from Scripture. The word of God, both written and embodied in Jesus, is the source of truth, salvation, and holiness, guiding the church’s teachings, practice...
