Sometimes we think of Christianity as a religion of Destination… it’s what determines how we will spend eternity. The church seems to have spent much of its time talking about that, and is how evangelism used to be done… the famous: “Turn or Burn” sermons. But, Jesus speaks of a walk with him that is not about just the destination, but about the jo…

Jesus Razor – Week 4 – Decision 32:36

Play Pause

6y ago32:36

32:36

Which seems more weird: Self-proclaimed Atheists who continue to live as though God is real? Or self-proclaimed Christians who continue to live as though He isn’t? This is the purpose of the Jesus Razor — it is designed to cut through deception.

Jesus Razor - Week 3 - Targeting 39:55

6y ago39:55

39:55

It seems most of the modern day Christian teaching centers around Faith. If your Faith is right, everything will work out fine... But, the Old Testament barely even mentions faith, and Jesus taught about "The Heart" as much as he does "Faith." Is having a right heart a forgotten teaching of the church? And if it is so important, how do you set your…

Jesus Razor – Week 2 – Simplification 39:31

6y ago39:31

39:31

We tend to divide our lives into compartments: there is the work compartment, the home compartment, the family compartment, the church compartment? But is it possible to keep the God of the universe in a compartment in our lives?

The Jesus Razor - Week 1 33:59

6y ago33:59

33:59

It's our anniversary -- and we're starting a new (old) series. This series is based on the first sermon ever preached at Spirit Chapel -- exactly 6 years ago. It is part testimony, part theology, and part movies, as Pastor Mark walks us through critical decisions made that were made -- sometimes for the better, and sometimes not. It's an honest loo…

CrossRoads Week 13: Finished Faith 28:36

6y ago28:36

28:36

We reach the part of Abraham's faith that seem unfathomable to us -- the sacrifice of Isaac. How did Abraham get to this kind of faith, where he was willing to trust God with everything in his life? How can we build this kind of faith?

CrossRoads Week 12: Laughter 32:53

6y ago32:53

32:53

We are called to be faithful. We are called to be righteous. But, we are also called to be God's friend. What do you do with your friends that you never do with God? How about sharing a laugh? Is it OK to laugh with God? (Hint: Who do you think invented humor to begin with?)

CrossRoads Week 11 - Old Ways 30:08

6y ago30:08

30:08

Sometimes, just when it seems we are improving and getting better, something from our past grabs us and holds us back. The good news is that we are not alone. It happens to some of the greats in the Bible. And, by studying them, we can learn our best way forward.

CrossRoads Week 10 - Bad Company 36:43

6+ y ago36:43

36:43

Sometimes we make a decision that affects us for the rest of our life -- not because it is so monumental that it can't be undone -- but because it sets us down a path that we never seem to realize we can leave. The momentum is what destroys us. But, how do we get off of the destructive path before it destroys us?…

CrossRoads Week 9 - Angels Unaware 37:56

6+ y ago37:56

37:56

Why do you want great Faith as a Christian? Do you think God cares what we do with our Faith? Maybe we can't have faith like Abraham until we have some other characteristics of this "Father of Faith"

CrossRoads Week 8 - Real Faith 31:50

6+ y ago31:50

31:50

The Christian religion runs on Faith. We need faith to believe. We need faith to pray. We Need faith for everything. So... where do we get this faith? Every televangelist seems to have an answer for that. But what if they are all wrong? What about if real faith looks nothing like what we were taught it does?…

CrossRoads Week 7 - Ishmael 39:38

6+ y ago39:38

39:38

How can we live a life of faith when we keep making huge mistakes? Do we ever reach a point where our screw-up is so big, God can't even use us anymore? If Abraham can make a huge mistake like he does in this week's lesson, what hope is there for us? Is there any way of avoiding these colossal errors that threaten to derail our whole life? How do w…

CrossRoads Week 6 – The Covenant 30:12

6+ y ago30:12

30:12

Abraham comes off one of the greatest military victories in the Bible. He has done — alone — what five kings failed to accomplish. And when he gets back home, God comes to him with an odd message: “Don’t be afraid, Abraham.” What did God know that we missed? Why does fear often follow our greatest victories?…

CrossRoads Week 5 – The Battle 34:35

6+ y ago34:35

34:35

Suddenly, the story in Genesis shifts to a battle between 9 kings — none of them named Abraham. But this story shows how far Abraham has come in his friendship with God. Because what he does next is something that Hollywood couldn’t have dreamed up…By spiritchapel

CrossRoads Week 4 – Lessons Learned 29:51

6+ y ago29:51

29:51

Abraham is back in the Promised land. And he has learned a lot from his time in Egypt. We see what a man of faith does when he finds his way back to God’s Promise. And it is a lesson for us all.By spiritchapel

CrossRoads Week 3 – The Test 32:14

6+ y ago32:14

32:14

No sooner does Abraham arrive at the Promised Land, than he faces his first test. And he doesn’t do well. Would any of us? How did you do when you faced “The Famine Test?”By spiritchapel

CrossRoads Week 2 – Come to the Altar 40:44

6+ y ago40:44

40:44

Abraham responds to God’s call on his life. And his journey is marked by three things: A Tent, And Altar, And “Calling on the Name of the Lord?” What do these mean for the person today trying to learn how to “Walk by Faith?”By spiritchapel

CrossRoads Week 1 - Where Dreams Meet Do 38:34

6+ y ago38:34

38:34

We start a series about the life of Abraham, known as "The Father of Faith." He is such a critical figure in the bible, from Genesis all of the way through the New Testament. What does God want us to learn from the life of this pivotal life captured in the bible?By spiritchapel

Prophecy – Week 4 – Practical Prophesy 44:42

6+ y ago44:42

44:42

In the final sermon in this series, we get down to some of the nuts and bolts of the prophetic word in the church today. And we learn how to examine it so that we don’t get deceived by human emotions being mixed with God’s revelationBy spiritchapel

Prophecy – Week 3 – Prophecy Proof 40:38

6+ y ago40:38

40:38

If we are not hearing God speak to us, it could be that he no longer speaks, as some believe. Or it could be that we are not listening. Are there things we do that make it hard, if not impossible, for us to hear the voice of God?By spiritchapel

Prophecy – Week 2 – Unchangeable 32:22

6+ y ago32:22

32:22

God never changes, and his word is also unchangeable. These are undeniable tenants of the Christian faith. But does that God’s relationship with his people is unchanged? Could the role of the prophecy be different today than it was when Elijah walked the earth? And if so, what does this mean for the modern day church?…

Prophecy – Week 1 – God’s Voice 31:30

6+ y ago31:30

31:30

There are so many questions about the prophetic gifts. Many believe they no longer exist. Some are convinced they do. Most Christians seem unsure. We take an honest look at the scriptures to answer this very critical question: Does God still speak to us today?By spiritchapel

Armor Week 8 - Sword of the Spirit 42:36

6+ y ago42:36

42:36

We finish our series on the armor of God by looking that the one weapon we have: The Sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God. And, of course, everyone knows that the Word of God means the bible... but what if everyone is wrong? What if Paul is telling us something more than just "You need to read your bible...?" We look at the real meaning be…

Armor Week 7 – Helmet of Salvation 37:01

6+ y ago37:01

37:01

The Helmet protects the head, and for us most importantly the mind. We all want our mind protected from spiritual attacks… But, how is it that Salvation is supposed to protect out mind? Are there “mind tricks” we need to learn? How does salvation play into that? BIBLE REFERENCES: Ephesians 6:13-17; 2 Corinthians 10:4-5; Romans 12:2; Colossians 3:1-…

God’s Armor – Week 6 – Shield of Faith 32:03

6+ y ago32:03

32:03

The Shield of Faith is supposed to protect us from the attacks of Satan. How does that work? Is there something we need to do in order to use this shield in our lives? Or does it protect us without our knowing? And what does an arrow fired from the spiritual world look like in the physical world? BIBLE REFERENCES: Ephesians 6:13-16; 1 Corinthians 1…

God’s Armor – Week 5 – Shoes 40:53

6+ y ago40:53

40:53

The shoes carry the soldier forward into battle. Without shoes you might be able to stand and defend, but you will never be able to go on the attack. Paul calls these the Gospel Shoes. How does this fit into our life? How does the Gospel prepare us to go on the march against the enemy? BIBLE REFERENCES: Ephesians 6:13-15; Isaiah 52:7; 2 Corinthians…

God’s Armor – Week 4 – Protecting The Heart 29:49

6+ y ago29:49

29:49

Continuing in the God’s Armor, we move to the “Breastplate of Righteousness.” You don’t have to be a Seminary Student to see the symbolism Paul is invoking here: The breastplate protects the most important part of the soldier — the heart. But how do we get the righteousness that protects? Is it just following a bunch of rules that they give us at c…

God’s Armor – Week 3 – Truth Part 3 5:38

6+ y ago5:38

5:38

We finish up the discussion of the “Belt of Truth” with looking at the final purpose of God’s truth in our lives: God’s Truth comes to convict. This does not mean condemn. And the difference is important…BIBLE REFERENCES: Ephesians 6:13-14; John 16:13; John 16:6; Psalm 26:1-4; 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18; James 5:13; Luke 11:2-5; 2 Corinthians 2:10; He…

God’s Armor – Week 2 – Truth Part 2 33:59

6+ y ago33:59

33:59

The Belt of Truth, as we learned in the previous sermon, is the center of everything. But it does far more than that for the Christian warrior. It also protects us from falsehood. Falsehood that attacks us has a special name: Deception. And we must guard against it because it can enter our lives in insidious ways.…

God’s Armor - Week 1 - Truth 43:21

6+ y ago43:21

43:21

We start looking into the passage in Ephesians discussing God's Armor, and we start where the Apostle Paul starts: With Truth. And to illustrate the point, Pastor Grice shares a very personal story from his past. You might need a kleenex for this one. "I'm not crying -- you're crying!"By spiritchapel

MGIG – Week 17 – The Devil Dilemma 28:34

6+ y ago28:34

28:34

60% of Christians don’t believe there is a Devil. That’s CHRISTIANS. Not Americans. That even holds true for many preachers. One megachurch preacher recently said in a sermon: “Don’t get too freaked out about the demon thing. Back in those days, everything was a demon. If a person sneezed, they thought he had a demon.” Is the Christian teaching of …

Easter 2019 – He is Risen, So What? 34:17

6+ y ago34:17

34:17

“He is Risen!” “He is Risen, Indeed!” That is the classic greeting in churches on Easter morning. But, honestly, how many people would respond the same way a month after Easter has come and gone? Does the fact that Jesus rose from the grave mean anything to most people as they go about their daily lives? Isn’t the resurrection really something for …

MGIG – Week 16 – Truth About Sin 35:00

6+ y ago35:00

35:00

What is Sin, really? Is it just some old concept that the church invented so it could control morality? Has the definition of Sin changed over the years? And if it is a horrible affliction that is destroying us and our world, why can’t we ever seem to get it out of our lives? Here’s an honest look at Sin, and why it never seems to go away.…

MGIG – Week 15 – Worlds Collide 37:10

6+ y ago37:10

37:10

Have you ever wondered what the point of Christianity is? You turn to Jesus at some point, but still struggle with the same sin that you did when you didn’t know Jesus? It’s like the same thing happening over and over again? Maybe we are finding it hard to live as a Christian because our approach to it is all wrong……

MGIG – Week 14 – Cease and Desist 40:29

7y ago40:29

40:29

We finish the study of what other churches teach about the holy spirit, this time looking at the group that says the miraculous gifts of the Holy Spirit have all ceased. Since this comes from the largest protestant denomination in America, it must mean that they are right. Doesn’t it? Well, does McDonalds serving billions and billions mean that the…

MGIG - Week 13 - Spirit Deniers - Pt 1 43:42

7y ago43:42

43:42

We move to the other side of the divide over the Holy Spirit -- The Spirit Deniers. These are the Christians who believe the Holy Spirit has moved into a background role, and no longer moves in miraculous ways. But if the Holy Spirit no longer moves or speaks in our lives, what do we use for guidance?…

MGIG – Week 12 – Spirit Quenching 45:30

7y ago45:30

45:30

Is it possible that all of the prayers you are praying are suppose to be answered? And that you don’t see miracles because of doubt in your life? What if you could just “win the battlefield for your mind” and that would allow you to see miracles again? We look in depth at one of the most dangerous teachings that has crept into the church.…

MGIG – Week 11 – God the Spirit – Pt 2 35:50

7y ago35:50

35:50

In the second part of the Holy Spirit teaching, we look at one of the biggest dangers in trying to have a Christian walk that is all about Experiencing God. Ironically, it ends up leading us away from God.By spiritchapel

MGIG – Week 10 – God the Spirit – Pt 1 43:21

7y ago43:21

43:21

This week we move to the third member of the Trinity: The Holy Spirit. The belief and teaching about the Holy Spirit is probably the most divisive topic in the Christian church today, and that’s probably not an accident: The Adversary knows what happens when the Holy Spirit anoints a group of believers — after all, that’s how we got the Christian C…

MGIG – Week 9 – God the Son 45:25

7y ago45:25

45:25

Be honest — you see the sermon is just about Jesus, and you’re thinking about skipping it, aren’t you? “I need a sermon that’s going to help me with me life,” you think. “Where’s the sermon about hearing God’s voice, or praying through problems, or seeing miracles?” And that’s the problem. That’s why we spend our lives not hearing God’s voice, not …

MGIG – Week 8 – God the Father 37:35

7y ago37:35

37:35

We turn our attention now to the idea that Christianity believes in one God in Three Persons. And the person that we start with is: God the Father. What do we know of Him, really? And more importantly, what is it that we MUST know to have any kind of a relationship with him?By spiritchapel

MGIG – Week 7 – The One True Religion 41:13

7y ago41:13

41:13

OK, so you’re a Christian… why? Have you ever thought about your decision? Or did you accept a “Hand-Me-Down” religion from someone else? Is it OK to ask the question: “How do I know my Religion is true?” Or does that show a lack of faith? We take an honest look at an important question: “What makes you think Christianity is the One True Religion?”…

MGIG – Week 6 – The Search for God 39:32

7y ago39:32

39:32

Too often, we accept our religious beliefs from someone else. But to be true followers of Jesus Christ, we can’t accept a “hand me down” religion. We have to know what we believe and why. Yes, Christianity — like any Religion — eventually requires a “leap of faith” — but there is no need to start off the journey by leaping. The Bible tells us that …

MGIG – Week 5 – It’s Personal 39:11

7y ago39:11

39:11

It is a very natural thing to look at the people around us to see how we are doing. We are taught at a very young age to compare ourselves — in kindergarten it starts. Sometimes sooner if we had older siblings. It continues into our job. Advertising is based upon it “Do you have the new iPhone yet? Why not? Look at all of these people in line to ge…

MGIG – Week 4 – The Bible and It’s Problems 40:31

7y ago40:31

Why do people reject the Bible? Why do so many people — maybe even us if we admit it — want the Bible to be wrong? And what happens when we start taking passages out that we “just don’t get?”By spiritchapel

MGIG - Week 3 - Can I Trust This? Really? 36:14

7y ago36:14

36:14

At some point, anyone who is told the Bible is the inerrant word of God asks one question: "Really -- I'm supposed to believe that?" So many people are saying there are errors in it. It was written so many years ago. Can a reasonable person honestly look at the Bible and think: "Yep, every word of this is inspired." We take a very honest look at th…
