Til death do us part - when you walked down that aisle and said, “I do!” you had hopes and dreams for your marriage that were off the charts! In this message, Chip shares a life-skill with you that can keep your marriage going strong!

Imagine trying to put a 10-thousand-piece jigsaw puzzle together without the picture! You’d eventually give up. Chip suggests that your marriage is a 10-million-piece jigsaw puzzle and unless you find the picture on the box top, you'll spend years in frustration and heart ache. If you want to find that picture, for your marriage jigsaw puzzle, this message is for you.

Remember your wedding day - the planning, the dreams, the excitement?  Do you wish you could rekindle those “just-married” feelings and passions all over again? Chip gets this series started by explaining how you can spark that flame of love, and at the same time build a friendship and foundation that will stand the test of time.

If you could ask God what would be the best way to attract a person of the opposite sex, in a way that would please Him and satisfy you, would you like to hear His answer? With that answer, Chip wraps up this series.

Do you long for a deep, rich, intimate relationship with a person of the opposite sex that will last a lifetime? In this message, Chip shares, from the Bible, God’s plan to help us get there.

As believers in Christ, we want to be sexually pure, but it’s tough. Is it possible to really be pure in a sex-saturated world? Join Chip as he tackles this important and very controversial topic.

God designed a beautiful gift for His people - it’s called: sex. But it’s been exploited; it’s been cheapened; it’s been defrauded. Would you like to know what God thinks about sex? Then join Chip as he explains that, contrary to popular belief, God's not down on sex, He's the one who actually created it. He gave it to people to enjoy it as He designed it!

If you want to get the very best from God, you’ve got to give Him something in return. In fact, the scriptures are clear that God blesses those who do this one thing. But more than that, He opposes those who don’t.  In this message, Chip reveals what that one thing is.

Do you ever feel like your whole life is one big spiritual to-do list? Do this, don’t do that, 10 things to remember, etc, etc. It's exhausting!  Do you ever just want to get off the religious performance track and begin experiencing the joy of the Lord? If so, join Chip as he shares what God really wants from you.

If so, you know the sting of being pre-judged or prejudice. When prejudice happens to you, how do you respond? Chip walks us through how we can overcome that pain.

Is there a young person in your life – maybe it’s a child or grandchild – who has completely abandoned their faith? They used to believe in God and The Bible, but they strongly reject it now.

But it is possible to overcome the pain of rejection. In this message, Chip uncovers four lies we believe about rejection and the truth from God’s Word to overcome them.

Rejection. No one is immune to it. Everyone will experience it to some degree. And no matter who you are, your life is changed because of it. The question is, will rejection take you down or will you leverage it for good in your life? Chip explains that the choice is up to you, and shows you how to get started.

Chip gives clarity and great hope in this last message of the series.

Most of us think a lot about what we want from God. Have you ever wondered what God wants from you? Join Chip as he reveals what God really wants from us - and in turn, what He wants for us.

Who is Jesus to you, and what difference does that make in your life? If you’re like most of us, the answer to that question can get foggy in real life. So Chip teaches us how to clear away that fog and get a fresh understanding of who Jesus is - and who He wants to be in your life.

If Jesus had a business card what would it say on it? Who would it say He is? Nice guy? Teacher? Healer? God? Who is this Jesus we celebrate - and is it possible, that especially at Christmastime, the idea we have in our minds about who Jesus is, is somehow mistaken?

At some point in your life, you either have or will face a time when something seems hopeless. A relationship goes sideways, a devastating financial setback, the loss of your health - when that happens, what do you do? Chip reveals how Jesus offers hope when hope seems completely gone.

Let’s be honest - we’ve all done things we wish we hadn’t done.

In this program, Chip explains that even though we long for peace and stability in our lives, often our thinking and choices sometimes create just the opposite – chaos and upheaval. Join Chip as he shares, from God’s Word, the essential key to experiencing God’s peace. 

As much as we’d like it to be otherwise, the fact is that the world we live in is violent and uncertain. What is certain is that God promised His children supernatural peace - even in the midst of conditions that threaten to absolutely overwhelm us.  Chip unpacks how God’s peace works and how you can have it – even in a broken world. 

When you have a loved one in intensive care, or the house hasn’t sold, or the job hasn’t come through, or the news is full of things that make you fearful – are you able to trust God’s goodness, or does the anxiety just seem too overwhelming? Chip explains how we can actually turn our upsetting circumstances back to God and experience His supernatural peace.

When life gets hard, really hard, we have two options. We can become consumed with worry – which is what most people do, OR we can trust God, who tells us not to worry or be anxious. Chip shares that even though that sounds nearly impossible, God has promised to help us do just that.
