Sunday Sermons and Devotions at Asbury Chapel

We continued our series on "The truth is...", looking at Matthew 10.34-39. The truth of God’s word, as exemplified by Jesus, often leads to division and pain. It challenges our sinful nature and calls us to live according to His will, even if it means facing opposition from loved ones. To truly live, we must choose truth and follow Christ, sacrificing our own desires for His glory. Listen in...

Pastor Whit continued our series on "The Truth Is...". Looking at Galatians 1.6-10, we learned that a watered-down gospel, lacking the full truth of Christ’s teachings, is dangerous and leads away from salvation. Paul urges the Galatians to reject false teachings that distort the gospel, emphasizing the importance of calling sin what it is and embracing the transformative power of the true gospel.

Today we began our series on "The Truth Is...", covering how our world deals in half-truths and un-truths in order to protect itself or not offend. Pastor Whit used John 18.33-40 to address Pontius Pilate's question, "What is truth?" Listen in...

Pastor Whit taught on 1 Corinthians 2.1-12 today, helping us see that religion is not meant to be transactional, but relational. The Corinthians believers only needed the simplicity of the message, that Jesus Christ and Him crucified is the power of God to save. We were warned to be aware of showmanship and eloquence at the expense of the simple message of the cross. Listen in...

Today, on this second “Snow Day” for Asbury Chapel, Pastor Whit expounds upon 1 Corinthians 1.18-31, helping us see that our salvation depends upon God’s foolishness—the-hard-to-accept reality that the crucifixion is really the best and only way to be saved. May we all accept God’s foolishness for our everlasting life! Listen in…

Pastor Whit led us through Isaiah 49.1-7, teaching us that the purpose of our lives is to serve God’s purpose, not our own. By living for His glory, we can experience His immeasurable power and impact the world in ways we can’t imagine. This requires a shift in perspective, moving from self-centeredness to a focus on God’s will and His transformative power. Listen in...

Pastor Whit gave the challenge this week from Acts 10.34-43, as Peter goes to verify that God has granted access to the gentiles. We learned that Jesus came for everyone, regardless of their background or location, to save them from their sins. As witnesses to His goodness, we are called to testify to His grace and share the message of redemption with others. Listen in for more...

While we tend to discuss the magi and the star on Epiphany Sunday, Pastor Whit gives a character profile of King Herod, warning us of fighting God and His plan.

We are challenged to examine our lives, encouraged not to resist God’s redemption and to allow Jesus to be the true King of our lives. Listen in...

On this first Sunday after Christmas, Pastor Whit reminds us that God is in the business of redeeming stories. Starting in Genesis 30, going to Jeremiah 31, and see fulfillment in Matthew 2, God tells us to dry our eyes and restrain our weeping because of what He is doing through Christ. Listen in...

Romans 1 calls us to preach to the world the good news of Jesus, sending us out. But who are we, the sent? 2 Corinthians 4 tells us we are jars of clay, fragile vessels that God deposits His glory into. God uses broken things to do His marvelous work! Listen in for more...

On the third Sunday of Advent, we learned about how God makes gardens out of deserts. The prophet Isaiah brings hope to the people that a way would be made for them—the way of holiness—so that they could return to God and have a crown of everlasting joy! We were challenged to spread that joy that comes from God and the congregation received a gift that would help them do that. Listen in...

On this second Sunday of Advent, we learned that the Advent and Christmas seasons are the most evangelistic times of the year. All that Christ has accomplished for us happened because He came to dwell among us. Without His coming, nothing that saves us would have happened. How important that everyone know the best of the good news! Christ has come! Listen in for more...

On this first Sunday of Advent, we were challenged to live like Christ has come and Christ will come again! Matthew 24.36-44 teaches that we are to be found ready when the Lord returns. May we be found prepared and so please our Lord. Listen in...

On this final week of our series on "From Worry to Worship," Pastor Whit highlighted Psalm 23.4-5, how God prepares a table in the presence of our enemies—whether those who seek our demise or our problems and worries. This provision from God is dependent upon whether or not He is our shepherd or not. Do you hear His voice calling out to you? Listen in...

Last week we learned about the importance of moving from worry to worship. Today, Pastor Whit discusses what to do with worry so that we can actually move toward a lifestyle of worship. 1 Peter 5.6-7 gives us the answer, commanding us to cast our anxieties on God because He cares for us. Listen in...

We begin a 3 week series on worry with an emphasis on moving "from worry to worship". Using Deuteronomy 6.4-9, Pastor Whit talks about how worry breaks the heart, robs the soul, and drains our strength. But when we surround ourselves with the things of God, all our heart, soul, and strength are given to God. We move from worry to worship. THIS should be our default response. Listen in...
