Wvu Chi Alpha

A guest missionary talks about his time in the Middle East with the Live Dead Initiative. Coming from a Chi Alpha background himself, he talks about what led him to follow the Lord overseas and ultimately why Jesus is worthy of giving up everything in order to follow Him! A powerful and needed message! Preached 03/20/17

Prayer is the third aspect of a real devotional life we look at this week. We all have some idea of what prayer is, whether it be to the God of Christianity or some other deity. Often times, though, we don't actually know the importance of it or how to even do it. But it is crucial to our walk with God and it is a conviction we must have! Preached 03/13/17

This week we look at the second aspect of a Real Devotional Life - worship. Worship is much more than just the songs we sing or raising our hands when the band plays. True worship, the worship that is pleasing to God, is the sacrifice of our whole body to Him! Preached 02/27/17

Real Devotional Life is broken up in to three parts and for this one the focus is on the reading aspect of a devotional life. We all like reading regardless of whether we think we do or don't and the real thing to focus on is what we are reading and whether it is actually important or beneficial. Preached 02/20/17

A look at what the Bible says about the responsibility of every person who follows Jesus. Why do we do it? And how do we do it? And what is the benefit of taking up the responsibility that Jesus gives to us? Preached 02/13/17

Jordan talks about the first of what we call "The Three Reals" of being a disciple of Jesus. It is important for us to have a right understanding of relationships and fellowship and see them in light of how God sees them. Preached 02/06/17

People often confuse the idea of something being unusual with being abnormal, and frankly, the baptism of the Holy Spirit falls into that category all too often. So is the baptism really for us today? And if it is for us today, then what does it really look like? Preached 01/30/17

Tag team preaching about truth and whether we are asking the right questions when it comes to the truth followed up by talking about the counter of Truth, an often ignored or avoided subject: the development of deception in a persons life. Preached 01/23/16

A continuation from last weeks sermon were we look at what Paul meant in Romans 1:17 when he talks about how righteousness is "from faith for faith." How is it that we actually live out the gospel and what role does faith play in that? Preached 01/16/17

We start our convictions series for the spring semester with a look at what the Gospel truly is. We must truly look at ourselves and see who we really are if we are to grasp the true beauty and wonder of the Gospel! Preached 01/09/17

Wrapping up our series on The Upside-Down Kingdom we look at the second half of the last beatitude, "Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of Me. Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you." It is one thing to stand and fight for a cause, but it's a totally different thing to stand and fight for a person. Preached 11/28/16

Splitting up the last beatitude into two parts, we look first at what is the only thing compelling enough for someone to follow the words of Jesus when He said, "Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness sake, for theirs is the Kingdom of God." Preached 11/14/16

With only a few weeks left in our series on the beatitudes look at "Blessed are the peacemakers for they shall be called Sons of God." This term peacemakers is a term only used here in the beatitudes in the whole of the bible and Jesus gave great weight to what it really meant. Preached 11/07/16

Heather and Katie tag team the sixth beatitude, "Blessed are the pure in heart for they shall see God." We look at the importance God puts on us not being outwardly good but inwardly pure. Once we see that our standard isn't enough we are left with the question, how can we practically be pure in heart? Preached 10/31/16

There is the way the kingdom of the world sees getting what you deserve and there is a way the Kingdom of God sees this as well. But do we really get what we deserve? And how are we to live up to Jesus' words, "Blessed are the merciful, for they shall receive mercy" today? Preached 10/24/16

"Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be filled." Every person is hungry for something - the question is, what do we hunger for most? And, will what we hunger for actually satisfy us? Preached 10/17/16

The next part of our Beatitude series picks up with "Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth." But what in the world does meek mean? Does it mean weak or does is mean something completely different? A stirring look at an aspect of Jesus often misunderstood in today's culture. Preached 10/10/16

"Blessed are those who mourn for they shall be comforted." What is Jesus telling us to mourn? And what does he mean by the comfort that He promises us? A deeper look at an often overlooked, misunderstood beatitude. Preached 09/26/16

Guest speaker Winkie Pratney talks about the Lordship of Christ and why God actually deserves to be Lord of our lives. An incredibly powerful message for any one at any point in their lives! Preached: 09/19/16

To start of our new series, The Upside Down Kingdom, Jordan talks about how Jesus isn't concerned as much with what we do as He is with who we are. The first beatitude we look at today is "Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven!” Preached: 09/12/16
