    "Stop Living for People's Approval" | Pastor Bobby Chandler | The Pressure of Praise

    Palm Sunday started with praise… but ended with pressure.In this message, we look at the moment Jesus rode into Jerusalem and the crowd shouted “Hosanna,” only to reject Him days later. The same voices that praised Him also carried expectations. Jesus faced the pressure of approval, yet chose obedience to God over pleasing people.Many of us live the same way today — chasing likes, approval, and validation. But when we live for people, we become trapped by their opinions. True peace comes when we stop living for the praise of people and start living for the praise of God.This message will help you break free from comparison, social pressure, and fear of what others think — and learn to walk confidently in God’s purpose for your life.Key Scriptures:
Luke 19:39–44, 
John 12:17–18

    "Fighting Anxiety: What You're Holding Is Hurting You" | Pastor Bobby Chandler

    Anxiety isn’t always the problem — sometimes it’s a signal.In this message, we close out the Unfollow Fear series by looking at how anxiety forms when we carry things God never asked us to carry. Through the story of the rich young ruler and the life of Paul, we learn that anxiety often grows when our security is misplaced, our hearts are divided, or we refuse to release control.God’s peace doesn’t always remove the weight — sometimes He gives grace to carry it.If you’ve been battling anxiety, overthinking, or feeling overwhelmed, this message will help you learn how to release the weight and trust God with what you can’t control.Key Scriptures:

    "The Worry Trap: How Worry Steals Your Peace" | Pastor Bobby Chandler

    Worry whispers lies about a future that hasn’t even happened yet. In this message from the Unfollow Fear series, Pastor Bobby Chandler explains how worry quietly steals your peace, distracts you from what matters most, and keeps you trapped in fear. Jesus told His followers not to worry about tomorrow because our Heavenly Father already knows what we need. Instead of letting worry control our thoughts, the Bible teaches us to bring everything to God in prayer and trust Him with the future. If you’ve been struggling with anxiety, stress, or fear about what’s ahead, this message will help you break free from the worry trap and experience the peace that only God can give.

    "Face Your Fear" | Pastor Bobby Chandler

    Fear is loud. Every day we are surrounded by headlines, stress, anxiety, and uncertainty. But the Bible makes something clear: God has not given us a spirit of fear. In this message, Pastor Bobby Chandler teaches how fear tries to paralyze faith and how Jesus calls us to step out of the boat — even when the storm is still raging. Just like Peter walking on water, the storm doesn’t disappear when faith begins. The difference is where your focus is.If fear has been controlling your thoughts, your decisions, or your future, this message will help you face it with faith. 📖 Key Scriptures: 2 Timothy 1:7 & Matthew 14:22–33— 🔔 Subscribe for more messages from Authentic Church 🌐 AuthenticChurch.com 📍 Join us in Hickory, NC Authentic Church 2416 N Center St Hickory, NC 28601 (Beside Planet Fitness) GIVING To support this ministry and help us continue to reach people all around the world click here: https://authenticchurch.com/give GET CONNECTED Ready to check out Authentic Church in person?

    "Is Divorce Really That Big of a Deal?" | Pastor Bobby Chandler

    Divorce is common. But is it casual? In a culture where marriage is often treated as temporary, what does the Bible actually say about divorce?

In this message, Pastor Bobby Chandler breaks down Scripture’s perspective on marriage, covenant, and commitment — and why this conversation matters more than ever. 📖 Key Scriptures:
Matthew 19
Malachi 2:16

    "More Than a Feeling | The Truth About Marriage & Commitment" | Pastor Bobby Chandler

    In a culture that builds relationships on butterflies and emotions, what happens when the feeling fades? This message dives into what real, biblical commitment looks like. Love isn’t just chemistry. It’s not just attraction. And it’s definitely not just a vibe. According to Scripture, love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, and endures all things. Marriage wasn’t created by culture — it was created by God.

    "Confused About Love? Stop Following Your Feelings" | Pastor Bobby Chandler

    Love isn’t broken — our definition of it is. In a culture that says “follow your heart,” what if your heart isn’t a safe compass? What if feelings aren’t meant to lead your relationships?In this message, we dive deep into what the Bible actually says about love, marriage, singleness, lust, waiting, and why marriage was never meant to fix you — Jesus was.Authentic Church 2416 N Center St Hickory, NC 28601 (Beside Planet Fitness) GIVING To support this ministry and help us continue to reach people all around the world click here: https://authenticchurch.com/give GET CONNECTED Ready to check out Authentic Church in person?

    "What Is Love? Commitment Over Convenience" | Pastor Bobby Chandler

    What is love—really?In a culture that defines love by feelings, pleasure, and convenience, God offers a very different definition. In this message, we dive into Scripture to uncover what real love looks like—love that is rooted in sacrifice, commitment, and truth.From the church of Corinth to modern culture, the struggle hasn’t changed. When love becomes self-focused, relationships suffer. But when love is anchored in Christ, healing, freedom, and restoration are possible.Authentic Church 2416 N Center St Hickory, NC 28601 (Beside Planet Fitness) GIVING To support this ministry and help us continue to reach people all around the world click here: https://authenticchurch.com/give GET CONNECTED Ready to check out Authentic Church in person?
