Legacy and Launch: Week 1: Next Not New

Transitions in life can feel overwhelming, but they represent crucial moments where legacy becomes responsibility. The biblical story of Moses passing leadership to Joshua reveals that while leaders change and seasons shift, God remains constant. Success isn't about running fast but about handing off well. Joshua learned that his role wasn't to fill Moses' shoes but to follow God's footsteps. Four keys help us navigate transitions: developing boldness for the next step, embracing the same mission in a new season, staying rooted in God's Word, and choosing God's presence over fear. Sometimes we must step into the water before it parts, trusting God's promises rather than waiting for proof.

With Us: Week 5: With Us Still

The story of Samuel's Ebenezer stone teaches us the importance of remembering God's faithfulness in our lives. Ebenezer means 'stone of help' and served as a memorial to remind future generations of God's provision and protection. We're prone to forget God's goodness when facing current challenges, but taking time to remember His past faithfulness builds our trust for the future. Churches must also raise their own Ebenezers by staying mission-focused rather than becoming inward-looking. When we recognize God's work in our lives, it should naturally lead to worship and gratitude.

With Us: Christmas Eve Message: "You Are Not Alone"

With Us: Week 4: Love Story

God's love is far deeper than romantic feelings—it's a sacrificial commitment demonstrated through Jesus Christ. When God wanted to show His love, He gave His one and only Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins. This wasn't something we asked for; God made a way when there was no way. Through Jesus, we receive forgiveness and the promise that He goes with us daily. As recipients of this love, we become Christ's ambassadors, called to love one another and share His love with the world. God's love is made complete when we give, forgive, and go to others in need.Discussion Guide: https://chapinccc.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/With-US-Week-4-Love-Story-Discussion-Guide.pdf 5-Day Devotional: https://chapinccc.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/With-Us_-Week-4_-Love-Story-5-Day.pdf

With Us: Week 2: 790

In a world filled with stress and anxiety, genuine peace seems impossible to find. The problem isn't that peace doesn't exist, but that we've sentimentalized Christmas and left Jesus as a baby in the manger instead of recognizing Him as the reigning King. Isaiah 9:6-7 reveals four titles that show us who Christ really is: Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, and Prince of Peace. True peace comes not from trying to create it ourselves, but from submitting wholeheartedly to Christ's rule and reign. When we surrender completely to the King of Kings, His peace conquers spiritual oppression, sin, and death in our lives.
