    JEHOVAH JIREH MY PROVIDER | Chad Veach

    In this message, Pastor Chad Veach launches a new series titled In God I Trust with a message called “Jehovah Jireh: My Provider.” Using the story of Abraham and Isaac in Genesis 22, Pastor Chad teaches that God knows what we need before we know what we will face. Just as God provided a ram in place of Isaac, He remains faithful and trustworthy in every season of life. The message emphasizes that God is not against people having money, but He does not want money to become the thing they trust. As Pastor Chad explains, “God is not mad if you have money. He is mad if money has you.” Believers are called to trust in God’s character, faithfulness, and promises rather than relying solely on their own abilities, finances, or circumstances. today.txt Pastor Chad shares four questions to help people strengthen their trust in God: If God can take care of creation, how much more will He take care of me? If God took care of me in the past, why wouldn’t He take care of me right now? If God is in control, why am I so worried? And if God is my provider, why did I stop depending on Him? Through Scripture and personal stories, he encourages the church to replace worry with worship and remember God’s faithfulness through every season. He reminds listeners that their jobs, paychecks, and talents are resources, but God is the source. Rather than living in anxiety about finances, believers can depend on Jehovah Jireh, trusting that He knows their needs and remains a good and generous Father. today.txt The message concludes with a challenge to develop a healthier, more faithful relationship with money through prayer, budgeting, intentional work, practical steps toward financial freedom, and biblical stewardship. Pastor Chad encourages the church to manage money wisely, grow it intentionally, and give generously without allowing wealth to become a master. The central takeaway is that money should serve our lives, but God should lead them. When our trust is rooted in God rather than our financial circumstances, we can live with greater peace, generosity, and confidence in His provision. As Pastor Chad declares, “Money is a terrific servant. It is a terrible master.” today.txt

    THE SEASON CHANGED, THE WORK HAS NOT | Chad Veach

    In this concluding message of the Joshua series, Pastor Chad Veach teaches that “The Season Changed, The Work Has Not.” Drawing from Joshua’s journey into the Promised Land, he reminds the congregation that every season of life brings new responsibilities, but our calling to serve God remains the same. Reaching a breakthrough, achieving success, or receiving what we have prayed for does not mean our work is finished. God still has more for our lives, families, businesses, and communities. As Pastor Chad emphasizes, “Anyone can conquer, not everyone can steward.” We must learn not only to receive God’s blessings but also to care for, grow, and faithfully manage what He entrusts to us. Pastor Chad highlights three key lessons: there is still more to do, remain faithful to God after success, and trust that not one word from God will fail. Gratitude helps us remember what God has already done, while faith keeps us believing that He is not finished. Through Joshua’s challenge to Israel to choose whom they would serve, the message warns against becoming complacent or turning toward idols after experiencing God’s goodness. Our faithfulness is not an attempt to earn God’s favor; it is a response to the grace and faithfulness He has already shown us. As Pastor Chad puts it, “I am not initiating faithfulness. I am responding to God’s faithfulness. The message closes by returning to Joshua’s identity as a servant of the Lord. Despite his age, leadership, and accomplishments, Joshua remained a servant until the end. Pastor Chad contrasts Joshua’s earthly life with Jesus’ eternal reign, reminding believers that the mission of God’s Kingdom continues beyond every personal season or achievement. The seasons may change, but our commitment to serve Jesus must remain. Rather than settling into comfort after a victory, believers are challenged to keep serving, reaching people, welcoming others, and pursuing all that God has called them to do.

    STOP AND START

    In this message, Pastor Chad Veach teaches from Joshua 1 about how God prepares us for the promises He has prepared for us. The promise for believers isn't simply a better house, career, or circumstance—the greater promise is Jesus, grace, and everlasting life. Pastor Chad explains that God develops, trains, shapes, and prepares us before bringing us into the next season. Joshua spent years serving under Moses before God called him to step into his own leadership, showing that preparation often happens long before the opportunity becomes visible. Pastor Chad challenges listeners to step into their grace, become strong and courageous, and stay rooted in God's Word. At some point, we have to stop living off someone else's faith and learn to hear God's voice for ourselves. Joshua's obedience wasn't an attempt to earn God's promise; it was a response to the promise God had already given. In the same way, our obedience flows from God's grace rather than earning His love or salvation. Ultimately, the message is a call to get ready for what God is preparing you for. You may not feel ready, qualified, or strong enough, but God sees where you're going—not just where you are today. As you remain faithful, stay in His Word, and learn to follow His voice, He can prepare you to step into your calling at the right time. The greater promise isn't a destination or possession; the promise is Jesus and the rest we find in Him.

    NO CHANCE | Chad Veach

    In this message, Pastor Chad Veach continues the series on Joshua with a message titled “No Chance.” He teaches that God has already prepared a promise for His people, and He also prepares them for the promise. The promise for believers is ultimately not a piece of property or earthly success, but Jesus, grace, and everlasting life. Joshua’s journey shows that God develops, trains, and shapes people before bringing them into what He has prepared for them. Pastor Chad highlights three responses God calls Joshua to embrace: step into your grace, be strong and courageous, and stay in the Book. Joshua had spent years serving and learning under Moses before God called him to lead, reminding us that preparation often happens before the opportunity becomes visible. Eventually, we must stop depending solely on the faith or voice of our mentors and learn to hear God for ourselves. God sees where we are going, not merely where we are now, and His hand can be on our lives before He moves us into a new season. The message also emphasizes that strength produces courage. Strength comes from spending time in God's presence, while courage enables us to have difficult conversations, repent, step into responsibility, give, connect with others, and follow God when we feel unprepared. Finally, Pastor Chad stresses the importance of staying in God's Word: “This book is alive and active.” The Bible is not simply something we study; God uses it to speak, shape, strengthen, and prepare us. The message closes with the recognition that we have no chance without God's grace and no shot without His power, but through Jesus we have true rest, victory over sin and death, and an eternal inheritance.

    PRIVATE PREPARATION | CHAD VEACH

    In this message, Pastor Chad Veach teaches from Mark 4:35–41 about what it means to follow Jesus when life gets difficult. The disciples entered a storm after obeying Jesus, reminding us that doing the right thing and being in God's will does not mean we will never face storms. Storms can come when we are tired, overwhelmed, or already dealing with other challenges, and they often arrive without warning. Pastor Chad encourages us not to allow what is happening on the outside to get on the inside, but to keep putting our faith in God even when we cannot understand what He is doing. Pastor Chad emphasizes the importance of having godly community during difficult seasons—people in the boat with us who will encourage us not to panic, but to trust God. He reminds us that there is purpose and destiny on the other side of the storm, so we cannot afford to quit or throw in the towel. The storm may be preparing and strengthening us for what God has ahead. Ultimately, the story reveals who Jesus is: He is Lord, He is in control, He is our Good Shepherd, our provider, and our healer. The message closes with a powerful reminder: Jesus is not surprised by your storm, and He is not absent from it. Just as He calmed the wind and waves for the disciples, He has authority over whatever we are facing. Whether we are believing for restoration in our marriage, provision, healing, breakthrough, or something new, the call remains the same: keep putting your faith in Jesus. His presence in the boat is greater than the storm around it.

    WIND & WAVES | Chad Narayan

    In this message, Pastor Chad Veach teaches from Mark 4:35–41 about the wind and waves of life. The disciples were in a storm not because they had done something wrong, but because they had obeyed Jesus and followed Him into the boat. Pastor Chad reminds us that we can do everything right and still find ourselves in a storm. Storms often arrive without warning and when we are already tired, but they don't mean God has abandoned us. In fact, the storm can be part of the path God is using to strengthen, prepare, and reveal us. Pastor Chad encourages us not to allow what is happening on the outside to get on the inside. We may not be able to control the wind and waves around us, but we can choose where we place our faith. He emphasizes the importance of godly community and being careful who we “panic with,” because we need people who will remind us to trust God when fear takes over. The message ultimately points us back to Jesus: He is Lord, He is in control, He is our Good Shepherd, our provider, our healer, and He is with us in the boat. The central encouragement is to keep putting your faith in Jesus and don't quit. There is purpose and destiny on the other side of the storm, and God can use difficult seasons to prepare us for what comes next. Most importantly, Pastor Chad reminds us that Jesus' presence matters more than His power—if His presence is with us, so is His power. Even when it feels like God is sleeping through our storm, He was there the whole time.

    I GOT THE POWER | Chad Veach

    In “I Got the Power,” Pastor Chad Veach concludes the freedom series by teaching that believers cannot live free through their own strength—they need the power of the Holy Spirit. Freedom is received, learned, and fought for, but the ability to stay free comes from God. Drawing from Acts 1, Pastor Chad explains that Jesus told His disciples not to begin their mission until they had received the Holy Spirit’s power. The Holy Spirit is not an optional part of following Jesus; He is essential for overcoming the addictions, unforgiveness, lust, greed, comparison, and other chains that try to pull us back into bondage. Pastor Chad describes this relationship in two ways: “The Holy Spirit is in me for me” and “The Holy Spirit is on me for others.” Within us, the Holy Spirit teaches, guides, comforts, convicts, strengthens, transforms, and continually points us toward Jesus. Upon us, He gives spiritual gifts that enable us to serve and strengthen others. As Pastor Chad puts it, “The Holy Spirit is in me to form Jesus in me. He is on me so that Jesus flows from me.” Ultimately, freedom isn't meant to end with us. God sets us free for worship, relationship, and mission. The Holy Spirit empowers believers to take the freedom they've received into their everyday lives, allowing God to use ordinary conversations, relationships, workplaces, and unexpected encounters to reach others. The challenge is to surrender control and say, “Here I am, your servant. Use me as you see fit.” When we depend on the Holy Spirit, we don't simply experience freedom ourselves—we become people God can use to help others find freedom too.
