    Wonder & Awe: Week 7: Jesus: Victorious

    It is easy to love a version of Jesus that never challenges us, but Revelation 19 reveals a far greater and more demanding picture of who He truly is. Jesus is the ultimate, undefeated, eternal champion who conquered death itself, yet many resist Him because we only love winners on our own terms. Culture has long attempted to soften Jesus into something safe and manageable, cutting away the parts that convict and keeping only what is comfortable. But the Jesus of Revelation 19 is Faithful and True, with eyes like blazing fire and a title stamped on His robe: King of Kings and Lord of Lords. He sees straight through every layer of self-deception and hypocrisy, not as a threat, but as an act of profound love. The greatest truth for anyone willing to receive it is this: maximum freedom is not found in self-rule, but in full surrender to His authority.

    Wonder & Awe | Week 6 | Jesus: Savior/Redeemer

    Familiarity can quietly rob us of the wonder we once felt about the gospel. Sin is not merely a list of bad habits but a deep rebellion against God that enslaves us and separates us from Him. No amount of religion, discipline, or self-improvement can remove our guilt before God. Just as God provided a way of rescue for the Israelites in the wilderness through the bronze serpent, He provided the ultimate rescue through Jesus Christ lifted up on the cross. God loved a rebellious world enough to send His Son to die for people who had turned against Him. Jesus does not simply forgive us. He redeems us, paying the price to free us from bondage to sin. The invitation of the gospel is simple: look to the Savior and live.

    The Ministry Behind the Scenes | Leading by Following Episode 8

    We're all leaders, and who we follow matters. In this episode of Leading by Following, Pastor Jody sits down with three people who do a tremendous amount of ministry behind the scenes at Chapin Christian: Courtney Dox, Mark Slice, and Bobby Scott. Their work in media, photography, communications, and production helps people connect with Jesus in ways we don't always see. But their stories reveal something much bigger than the work itself. We talk about how they found their way into ministry, what it was like helping our church navigate COVID, and how the skills and resources God gave us became opportunities to help other churches. We also reflect on how the front door of the church has changed, why excellence matters, and what it means to use our gifts for something bigger than ourselves. One of the things I'm reminded of through this conversation is that ministry isn't limited to a pulpit, a title, or a platform. Sometimes it looks like running a camera. Sometimes it means telling a story through a photograph. Sometimes it means helping another church solve a problem. And sometimes it simply means being faithful with the opportunity God has placed right in front of you. In Romans 10:14–15, Paul reminds us of the importance of carrying the good news of Jesus to others. As I think about Bobby, Courtney, Mark, and the teams they serve alongside, I'm reminded that it takes many different gifts and many faithful people to help that happen. So wherever God has placed you, don't underestimate the difference you can make. Use your gifts. Serve faithfully. Help others. And keep your eyes fixed on Jesus. We're all part of the mission.

    Wonder & Awe: Week 5: Jesus: Image of the Invisible

    For thousands of years, humanity has longed to truly know God, not just know about Him. The answer to that longing is Jesus. Paul writes in Colossians 1:15 that Jesus is the image of the invisible God, meaning He does not simply reflect God but perfectly reveals Him. Every act of compassion, every moment of grace, every tear Jesus shed shows us exactly who God is. Jesus is also the Creator and Sustainer of all things, holding everything together at this very moment. He is not a supporting character in our story. We exist in His. The most breathtaking truth of all is that this same Jesus, through whom everything was made, came down to reconcile broken people to God through His own blood. Infinite majesty and unimaginable mercy met in one person.

    Wonder & Awe: Week 4: Holy

    God's holiness is not about a distant, judgmental deity waiting for us to fail. Holiness means God is completely set apart from everything else in existence and perfectly pure in every way, with no darkness in Him at all. Isaiah 6 captures a breathtaking moment where the prophet sees God on His throne and the heavenly beings cry out, Holy, holy, holy, without ever growing tired of it. When Isaiah saw God clearly, he immediately saw his own sin clearly, not because someone pointed it out, but because the light of God's presence made it impossible to ignore. Rather than destruction, God responded with cleansing, providing a way for Isaiah to draw near rather than lowering His standard. This same pattern is the heart of the gospel: the holy God does not wait for us to find our way to Him. He comes to find us. What we need most is not a better strategy for living right, but eyes opened again to who God truly is.

    Wonder & Awe - Week 3 - Almighty

    Many Christians affirm that God is almighty in their theology but quietly live as though everything depends on them. Drawing from Genesis 17, the story of Abraham and Sarah reveals how easily we drift from trusting God's power into trying to manufacture what only He can provide. The question God asked in Genesis 18, whether anything is impossible for Him, echoes throughout Scripture in the lives of Jeremiah, Mary, and ultimately in the resurrection of Jesus Christ. Believing God is almighty is not about expecting Him to do whatever we want, but about trusting that He is able and faithful no matter the circumstances. This truth frees us from the impossible burden of trying to be in control of everything. Because God is almighty, we are invited to pray boldly, obey without needing to see the outcome, and release what we cannot control.

    Wonder & Awe: Week 2: Unmatched Majesty / Transcendant

    There are seasons when our problems feel enormous and God feels distant. But the issue is rarely His absence. More often, we have shrunk Him in our minds until our circumstances tower over us. Isaiah 40 calls us to look up and rediscover the transcendence of God. He is enthroned above the earth, He dismantles the powers of this world with a single breath, and He calls every star by name. If He knows the name of every star in the universe, He knows yours. The God who towers over everything is not distant. He is the same God who came down to us in Jesus Christ, out of nothing but love.

    Leading by Following: Episode 7: Curt Mitchell

    In this episode of Leading by Following, Pastor Jody sits down with Curt Mitchell for a conversation about leadership, calling, service, and what it means to make ourselves available to God. Curt serves as our Director of Facilities at Chapin Christian, but as you'll hear in our conversation, his ministry is about so much more than taking care of buildings. It's about people. It's about removing barriers so people can encounter Jesus. It's about leading a team that serves faithfully behind the scenes. It's about learning to distinguish between what's urgent and what's important. And it's about recognizing the moments when God may be opening a door for a conversation, a prayer, or an opportunity to love someone well. One of the things that stood out to me most from our conversation is this: Your greatest gift may not be your ability. It may be your availability. You don't have to stand on a stage to be a leader. You don't have to have all the answers. You don't have to feel perfectly qualified. You can simply follow Jesus, love people well, listen, and make yourself available to whatever God wants to do through you. In Ephesians 5:1–2, Paul says: “Follow God's example, therefore, as dearly loved children and walk in the way of love.” That's the kind of leadership I want for myself, and it's the kind of leadership I hope we're all learning to live out. Follow Jesus. Walk in love. Make yourself available. In this episode: • Leadership beyond a title or platform • Finding God's purpose in ordinary work • The difference between what's urgent and what's important • Learning to say no with grace • Serving as part of a bigger mission • Being available when God opens a door • Loving people well in everyday encounters • Leading by following Jesus Learn more at: https://jodyflowers843.org/
