In this message from Matthew 13:24-30, 36-43, Pastor Chase unpacks Jesus' Parable of the Wheat and the Weeds and reveals a powerful truth about the world we live in: two kingdoms are at work around us every day—the Kingdom of God and the kingdom of darkness.

In this message, Pastor Chase tackles one of the most discussed and controversial topics in today's culture: Pride Month and the Christian response to it.

What happens when God feels silent? In this powerful Mother’s Day message from Esther 4, Pastor Chase reminds us that even when we cannot see, hear, or feel God, He is still faithfully working behind the scenes.

How long can you stay stuck in the middle before it costs you everything? In this message from 1 Kings 18, we step into one of the most dramatic moments in Scripture at Mount Carmel—where the prophet Elijah confronts a nation paralyzed by spiritual indecision. The question he asks still echoes today: “How long will you waver between two opinions?” Many claim God with their lips but give their hear...

What happens when a heart once fully devoted to God begins to drift? In this powerful message from Fault Line Faith , we examine the rise and fall of King David in 2 Samuel 11:1–5. David was a giant slayer, a worshiper, and a man after God’s own heart—yet even he was not above falling into sin. Through David’s story, we see how small compromises, unchecked desires, laziness, and misplaced faith ca...

What happens when the greatest threat to your faith is… you? In Week 2 of our Fault Line Faith series, we dive into 1 Samuel 15 and the tragic story of King Saul—a man who had every advantage, every opportunity, and every blessing from God, yet still fell because he trusted himself more than he trusted the Lord. Pride is subtle, dangerous, and destructive. It convinces us that partial obedience is...

What happens when we place our faith in the wrong things? In this opening message of our new series, Fault Line Faith , we step into Judges 6 and the story of Gideon to see how quickly hearts can drift from trusting God to trusting self.

This Easter at Union Baptist, we looked at one of the most powerful encounters in the life of Jesus from John 8. A woman is caught in the act. Her sin is exposed. Her shame is public. And her future looks finished. But then Jesus steps in. In a moment where condemnation was expected, grace showed up instead. This message is for anyone who has ever carried regret… Anyone who feels defined by their...

What do you do when God calls you to step into something bigger than yourself? In this Palm Sunday message from Joshua 1, we step into a pivotal moment in Israel’s story—a new leader, a new land, and a call to move forward in faith after 40 years of wandering. Joshua is commissioned to lead, but with that calling comes a challenge many of us know well: overcoming fear, rejecting spiritual complace...

What if the greatest thing keeping you from God… is religion? In this message from The Road to Redemption , we walk from the Shema in Deuteronomy to the story of the Good Samaritan in Luke 10—and uncover a powerful truth: it’s possible to know all the right things about God and still miss Him completely. This sermon challenges the difference between empty religion and a life-changing relationship...

We’ve all had “should’ve, could’ve, would’ve” moments… Missed opportunities that make you wonder, what if? In this message from Numbers 13–14, we look at a moment where an entire nation stood on the edge of God’s promise—but let fear talk them out of it. Twelve men saw the same land. Two walked by faith. Ten were paralyzed by fear. Same situation. Different lens. What if the greatest thing standin...

Why do we struggle with God’s commands? In Book of Exodus 32 , Israel turns away from God and builds a golden calf—right after witnessing His miracles.
