In this powerful message titled This Is My Vow, Pastor Chad Veach reminds us that marriage is not sustained by feelings — it is sustained by covenant. Rooted in Genesis 2, he teaches that marriage was God's idea from the beginning, designed to flourish when built on His foundation. Love is not accidental, and strong relationships don't happen by chance. They are built through intentional decisions, daily commitment, and keeping God at the center. Pastor Chad challenges couples to reject comparison, forgive quickly, and choose gratitude over criticism. Feelings will fluctuate, but faithfulness is a choice. When God is at the center — like a cord of three strands — storms may come, but they won't destroy what is grounded in Him. This message is a call to stop drifting, stop blaming, and renew your vow — not just on your wedding day, but every single day.
Season 6, Episode 8 | Pastor Chad brings in his youngest son Titus to take and read 1 Timothy 3:8-16, outlining deacons' dignified requirements, faithful service testing, women's blameless conduct, the household of God's supportive role, and the great mystery of godliness revealed through Christ's incarnation, vindication, and global proclamation.

Season 6, Episode 7 | Pastor Chad invites his son Truett Warren for a thoughtful examination of 1 Timothy 3:1-7, covering the overseer's noble aspiration, essential traits such as irreproachability, monogamous fidelity, self-control, respectability, hospitable teaching, gentle leadership, well-managed household, and avoiding arrogance or recent conversion pitfalls.
In this message Pastor Chad Veach kicks off a brand-new series titled “Looking for Love in All the Wrong Places,” teaching from 1 John 4:19 “We love because He first loved us.” Before we can love well, date well, or build a great marriage, we must first learn how to receive the love of God. In this powerful and practical sermon, Pastor Chad explains the difference between living water love and broken cistern love, showing how so many of us chase attention, affection, and cheap substitutes that leave us dry and empty. From the woman at the well to King Saul forcing outcomes, this message challenges us to stop trading real love for cheap likes, stop forcing what should be faith, and start trusting God's direction over our own desires. When you receive the Father's love first, everything changes your relationships, your standards, and your future. If you've ever felt empty, overlooked, impatient, or tempted to settle, this word is for you. At Zoe, our mission is simple: People Saved, Disciples Made, Leaders Raised, and The Church Released. Through every service, we seek to share the love and hope of Jesus, impact lives, and see transformation in communities in Los Angeles and around the world.

Nineveh | Message 3: I Still Don't Want To Go | Pastor Chad Dingess | 02/15/2026 by Bethesda Church
Preaching from the Gospel of John 1, Pastor Chad's message “Come and See” emphasizes that sharing the gospel isn't about obligation but overflow—when people truly encounter Jesus, they can't help but invite others. Highlighting Jesus' “I Am” statements and stories like Andrew, Philip, and the Samaritan woman, he shows that the gospel spreads through simple, relational invitations. The call is to seek a fresh revelation of Christ personally, then boldly bring others to experience Him for themselves.

February 15th, 2026 Pastor Chad McDonald The first chapter of Jonah is one of my favorite passages. Interwoven into the story of Jonah’s fleeing from God’s call is the story of a group of sailors who have an unexpected encounter with God that radically alters their lives. Because of Jonah, they face a storm. At first, they pray to their gods and try everything in their own wisdom and power to get themselves out of this horrible situation. Nothing works. Everything they have relied on in the past; their gods, and their own wisdom and power won’t fix this problem. When they finally confront Jonah, who fears the Lord God of heaven, they become extremely frightened. Deep inside these men, just like us, is a knowledge of God that God has placed there. In our sin and disobedience, we suppress that truth, but it is always there. When we are confronted with storms, the truth often finds its way to the surface. We are confronted with the knowledge of God. What those sailors do next is amazing. They pray to God. They ask for forgiveness and then carry out the judgment of God on Jonah as Jonah had directed them. The storm quits raging. They make it to shore, offer sacrifices to God, and make vows. These men who set out that morning on a routine voyage ended up facing a storm that caused them to run to God, have a personal encounter with Him, and their lives and eternity were changed. Where do you turn when you encounter the storms of life? What idols do you look to? Do you rely upon your own wisdom and strength? When those fail, where do you turn? Do you have an unshakable foundation in your life that carries you through the storms? David had an unshakable foundation in the Lord. The Lord was his good, his delight, his counsel, his refuge, his inheritance, and his eternal joy and hope. This foundation provided him the strength to navigate the storms and even give him confident hope in the face of death. I pray that you will join us as we walk through Psalm 16. It is going to be another great weekend with God’s people. I hope to see you at church! In Christ, Pastor Chad

Season 6, Episode 6 | Tyler Smith joins Pastor Chad for an engaging breakdown of 1 Timothy 2:9-15. Together they explore Paul's call for women's modest adornment through good deeds, quiet learning in submission, and salvation linked to childbearing amid continued faith, love, and holiness.
Pastor Chad preached from Acts 8, showing that God uses ordinary, Spirit-filled people to share the good news of Jesus with everyone. Using Philip and the Ethiopian eunuch, he taught that evangelism isn't about being a super-Christian or having all the answers, but about listening to the Holy Spirit, listening to people, and obeying when God leads. The gospel is truly for all people, and when everyday believers step into God's mission, lives are changed and joy is renewed in the church.

Church info: www.crossingchatt.comEpisode Purpose:To call men back to biblical fatherhood, restore dignity to the role, and confront the silence of the faith community while culture sidelines fathers.Show Notes:The dismantling of fatherhood is not accidental.It is systemic, cultural, and deeply consequential.This is not about masculinity.This is about responsibility, presence, and legacy.What Does “Dismantling” Mean?To dismantle fatherhood is to undermine, minimize, or remove the role of fathers from the family—emotionally, spiritually, and socially—until their presence feels optional instead of essential.How Fatherhood Is Being Dismantled1. Cultural MessagingFathers are often portrayed as unnecessary, incompetent, or even dangerous. Media narratives replace honor with humor and authority with ridicule. Over time, this reshapes expectations—especially for boys growing up without a model to follow.2. Redefinition of FamilyWhen fatherhood is redefined out of the family structure, children lose a vital source of identity and stability. Scripture consistently presents fathers as anchors of generational faith and responsibility (see Book of Malachi).3. Absence NormalizedFather absence—whether physical, emotional, or spiritual—has become culturally tolerated. The consequences are measurable: fractured identity, increased behavioral struggles, and spiritual drift.4. Silencing of FathersMen are often discouraged from leading, disciplining, or guiding for fear of being labeled harsh or outdated. The result is passivity, not peace.You don't erase men first.You erase fathers.The Impact on Children and SocietyWhen fathers are removed:• Homes weaken• Children drift• Identity fractures• Faith becomes fragileWhen fatherhood collapses, society doesn't become freer—it becomes fatherless.The Call ForwardThe solution is not louder arguments, but restored responsibility.• Fathers must return to presence, not passivity• Families must honor the role, not replace it• The church must speak clearly, not cautiouslyA culture that doesn't know God will always struggle to understand fathers.But a generation without fathers will struggle to know God.Fatherhood is not the problem.Its absence is.Thanks for your interest, and support!FOLLOW / WATCH / SHARE with those you know!Email: mynewnorm@email.comCommunity / MERCH: www.mynewnorm.shopFaceBook: @mynewnormInstagram: @mynewnorm_podcastSupport the showmynewnorm.buzzsprout.com/ / YouTube.com/@mynewnorm
Nineveh | Message 2: The Belly Of A Fish | Pastor Chad Dingess | 02/08/2026 by Bethesda Church
February 8th, 2026 Pastor Chad McDonald The deepest desire of every human heart is to know that someone cares for them. Is there anyone out there that really cares about me? As we turn our attention this weekend to Psalm 8, you can almost imagine David as a young shepherd staring into the night sky. He sees the vastness of God’s creation displayed in the heavens. He considers the majesty of the God who has created all that he sees and is overwhelmed that this same God would care for him. Not just care for him, but love him, know him, and be concerned with his life and activity. The stability of David’s life was rooted in the knowledge that God loved him. Now, more than ever, we need this same stability. In a world where we face all kinds of intellectual and atheistic pressures, we can stand firm because we know that our heavenly Father cares for us. I pray that you will join us this weekend as we worship in song, in the study of God’s Word, and in the observance of the Lord’s Supper. In Christ, Pastor Chad

Breaking The Cycle Of Lack | Pastor Chad Dingess | 01/25/2026 by Bethesda Church
Thom talks with the organizers of the 35th Annual Mardi Gras Benefiting Homeless Children. Pastor Chad concludes his 4-week resolution series. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
In the conclusion of the Going Higher series, Pastor Chad teaches from Ephesians that believers are called to live from the “heavenly places,” where Christ reigns and where the church now participates in His authority. Through Jesus, heaven and earth are being reunited, and the church is the place where that reality is already breaking into the present world. Paul shows that believers are sealed by the Holy Spirit, continually filled with His fullness, seated with Christ in authority, and empowered to advance God's kingdom. As the church lives out this calling—proclaiming the gospel, exercising spiritual authority, and standing firm in spiritual warfare—it displays God's wisdom to both the world and the powers of darkness, moving higher into God's purpose and glory.
In this message, Pastor Chad Veach shares a deeply moving sermon titled “Everything's Better When You're Here,” wrapping up the “We Want You Here” series with a powerful word from John chapter 11. Through the story of Lazarus, we see how Jesus brings not only resurrection power but also compassionate presence. Before He raised Lazarus, Jesus wept. He showed us that His presence is everything even before the miracle. Pastor Chad challenges us to stop living numb and start leaning into healing. Whether you're walking through grief, loss, or uncertainty, this message reminds you: Jesus shows up first with presence, then with power. Don't pursue results pursue relationship. And when Jesus is in the room, everything gets better. At Zoe, our mission is simple: People Saved, Disciples Made, Leaders Raised, and The Church Released.

January 25th, 2026 Pastor Chad McDonald This weekend, we’re going to dive into one of the most incredible portions of Scripture: Psalm 1. The search for the secrets to life, success, and fulfillment goes back to creation. If people only knew they could find true fulfillment by simply opening their Bibles, devoting their lives to Jesus, and faithfully meditating in God’s Word, everything would change. As we begin our study into the Psalms, God reveals in this first chapter how to attain a life filled with God’s promises, protection, and blessing. It all begins by committing our lives to studying the truth and depth of His Holy Word, the Bible. I look forward to having you worship with us this weekend in person or online. It’s going to be a sweet time in the study of God’s Word together. In Christ, Pastor Chad

The Kingdom of God is At Hand! - Pastor Chad Hertler The Gospel of Mark - Mark 1:14-15
Season 6, Episode 3 | Pastor Chad teams up with Chazz Upton for a deep dive into 1 Timothy 1:12-17, highlighting Paul's gratitude for Christ's empowering mercy, his past as foremost sinner turned believer, infinite patience as a pattern for others, and overflowing grace leading to eternal praise.
In this message titled "Dealing with Discontent", Pastor Chad Veach unpacks the truth of Psalm 23 with raw honesty and prophetic insight. We live in a world obsessed with more—more success, more stuff, more validation—but what if everything we're chasing can't fill us? What if we already have what we need in Jesus? Preaching with humor, conviction, and clarity, Pastor Chad reminds us that the Lord is our Shepherd—we shall not want. Whether you're feeling unfulfilled, frustrated, or simply longing for more, this message will stir your faith to remember God's faithfulness, embrace gratitude, and return to the truth that Jesus plus nothing equals everything.

In this sermon, Pastor Chad explores the life of Jacob from Genesis 28, illustrating how God often encounters us in our messiest moments rather than our best. By comparing Jacob—a "schemer and a liar"—to the "manly" Esau, Pastor Chad emphasizes that God's presence and blessings are gifts of grace rather than rewards for merit. He frames "Jacob's Ladder" as a divine invitation to a higher level of intimacy with God, urging the congregation to recognize and respond to God's presence with reverence and repentance. Ultimately, the sermon concludes that true blessing comes not through human striving or "clawing to the top," but through resting in God's promises and surrendering to His timing, even when that transformation requires being "wounded" by God to break our self-reliance.
Messy | Message 3: From Mess To Mission | Pastor Chad Dingess | 01/18/2026 by Bethesda Church
Christians are not meant to live for God on their own, but in community. For that community to function as designed by God, it must strive for its full potential with a radical approach and a united goal unlike anything else in this world.
Season 6, Episode 2 | Pastor Chad reunites with Matt Linn to dissect 1 Timothy 1:3-11, addressing warnings against false doctrines, the proper stewardship of the law, sound teaching that promotes love from a pure heart, and those who swerve into vain discussions.
In this powerful message titled "He Is Him", Pastor Chad Veach preaches from Psalm 24 and boldly declares that Jesus is the King of Glory not just a visitor, but the rightful ruler of our lives. This message kicks off Zoe Church's new year with passionate teaching, prophetic insight, and a call to consecration through fasting, prayer, and pursuit of God. From the reality that "everything and everyone belongs to God" to the urgency of becoming a generation that seeks God with clean hands and pure hearts, this message charges us to lift up our heads, open the doors of our hearts, and let the King of Glory come in. Pastor Chad exhorts us not to minimize God, but to remember the full authority and overwhelming power of Jesus conqueror of sin, defeater of death, and the one who rules forever.

Season 6, Episode 1 | Pastor Chad launches into 1 Timothy alongside Dr. Ryan Stephens, examining verses 1-2 with insights on Paul's commanded apostleship, true son Timothy, and the bestowed gifts of grace, mercy, and peace.
In this message titled "Intentional", Pastor Chad Veach kicks off a brand new series with a powerful word about living on purpose, with purpose. Preaching from Isaiah 53 and throughout the gospels, Pastor Chad highlights the intentional life of Jesus—His deliberate rejection, His confrontational message, and His total surrender to the will of the Father. This sermon unpacks how Jesus was rejected by His own people, by crowds, by religious leaders, and even by those closest to Him. But even through every rejection, Jesus remained faithful to His mission—and invites us to live the same way: deliberately, faithfully, and fearlessly. If you've ever felt overlooked, misunderstood, or pushed aside, this message will remind you that you're in good company. Jesus was, too.
