In “I Got the Power,” Pastor Chad Veach concludes the freedom series by teaching that believers cannot live free through their own strength—they need the power of the Holy Spirit. Freedom is received, learned, and fought for, but the ability to stay free comes from God. Drawing from Acts 1, Pastor Chad explains that Jesus told His disciples not to begin their mission until they had received the Holy Spirit's power. The Holy Spirit is not an optional part of following Jesus; He is essential for overcoming the addictions, unforgiveness, lust, greed, comparison, and other chains that try to pull us back into bondage. Pastor Chad describes this relationship in two ways: “The Holy Spirit is in me for me” and “The Holy Spirit is on me for others.” Within us, the Holy Spirit teaches, guides, comforts, convicts, strengthens, transforms, and continually points us toward Jesus. Upon us, He gives spiritual gifts that enable us to serve and strengthen others. As Pastor Chad puts it, “The Holy Spirit is in me to form Jesus in me. He is on me so that Jesus flows from me.” Ultimately, freedom isn't meant to end with us. God sets us free for worship, relationship, and mission. The Holy Spirit empowers believers to take the freedom they've received into their everyday lives, allowing God to use ordinary conversations, relationships, workplaces, and unexpected encounters to reach others. The challenge is to surrender control and say, “Here I am, your servant. Use me as you see fit.” When we depend on the Holy Spirit, we don't simply experience freedom ourselves—we become people God can use to help others find freedom too.
Season 7, Episode 1 | Pastor Chad launches Season 7 solo, introducing 1 Corinthians and walking through the opening greeting to set the context for Paul's letter to the church in Corinth.
In this Anniversary Sunday message, Pastor Chad Veach celebrates 11 years of Zoe Church while challenging believers to fight for the freedom Jesus has given them. Freedom is first received, then learned, but it must also be fought for. Drawing from Galatians 5:1, Pastor Chad declares, “I'm standing because I'm staying.” Following Jesus requires a determination not to return to old thinking, relationships, habits, jealousy, greed, or anything else that once held us in bondage. Staying free means standing firm in Christ, surrounding ourselves with community, and keeping our eyes fixed on Jesus instead of becoming distracted by what is happening in other people's lives. Pastor Chad also teaches that fighting for freedom means knowing when to stand and when to run. Using Peter walking on water and Joseph fleeing Potiphar's wife, he shows that there are moments when believers must intentionally run from environments, relationships, temptations, and compromises that could destroy their destiny. Freedom is too valuable to play around with the things that once kept us bound. As Pastor Chad puts it, “You can have my jacket, but you can't jack my calling.” Ultimately, freedom isn't meant to be used selfishly. God sets us free so that we can serve others and become planted in community. Reflecting on Zoe Church's 11-year journey, Pastor Chad emphasizes that the church was built through people who decided, “It's not about what we can get anymore, it's about what we can give.” The call is to stand in freedom, serve the house of God, stay connected to people, and use the story of what God has done in our lives to help others find freedom too.

In part two of the “Rent Free” series, Pastor Chad Veach preaches a message titled “No Turning Back,” challenging believers to stop romanticizing the very things God delivered them from. Using the Israelites in Numbers 11, he shows how they were physically free from Egypt but still craved their old life. Pastor Chad explains that freedom is received, freedom is learned, and freedom is fought for—and learning to live free means refusing to linger in old relationships, habits, mindsets, lusts, and patterns. “God can get you out of Egypt, but it take a long time to get Egypt out of you.” Drawing from Lot's wife, Paul's instruction to flee youthful lusts, and his own experiences, Pastor Chad urges the church to “don't look back and don't stir up.” Instead of constantly revisiting the past, believers are called to throw off their old life and embrace the new life Jesus has given them. He challenges listeners to examine what needs to be removed during 21 days of prayer and fasting—old attitudes, thinking patterns, speech, relationships, and anything else pulling them away from God. As he puts it, “Don't tolerate where you're going. Celebrate where you're going.” Ultimately, Pastor Chad calls believers to “feed your future.” Rather than sowing back into the life God rescued us from, we should invest in where God is taking us: “Sow where you wanna go.” Staying free isn't accomplished through human effort alone, but by continually being filled with the Holy Spirit. The same God who delivered you is faithful to sustain you and complete the work He started. Your past may explain where you've been, but it doesn't determine where you're going—there's no turning back.
Pastor Chad teaches that when we face situations beyond our ability to solve, we should follow Jehoshaphat's example by turning our eyes to God. Rather than focusing on the size of the problem, we should remember God's greatness and past faithfulness, stand on His promises, pray His Word, and trust Him to fight the battle. He emphasizes that resistance and difficult circumstances can actually draw us closer to God and take us higher in faith.
We can become so used to our own habits and patterns that we stop noticing what may need to change. In this message from Exodus 18, Pastor Chad uses the relationship between Moses and Jethro to show why we all need people who can encourage us, ask honest questions and help us grow. Who has permission to speak into your life, and who might need the wisdom and support you can offer? Watch or listen to discover how God often answers our prayers through the people He places around us.

The Touch of Jesus - Pastor Chad Hertler The Gospel of Mark - Mark 5: 21-43
In this message, Chad Veach declares that freedom is God's will for every believer. Launching the Rent Free series from Isaiah 61, he reminds the church that Jesus came to heal the brokenhearted, proclaim freedom for the captives, and replace shame, despair, and mourning with joy and purpose. While the enemy's strategy is to bind and blind, God's desire is to set people free and restore their vision so they can experience the life He intended. Pastor Chad explains that freedom isn't a one-time event—it's a lifelong journey. We first receive freedom through Jesus, then learn freedom by renewing our minds with God's Word, and finally fight for freedom every day. Like the Israelites who wanted to return to Egypt because it felt familiar, believers can be tempted to return to old habits, mindsets, and addictions. True freedom requires leaving behind what once held us captive and choosing God's way, even when it's uncomfortable. Ultimately, this message reminds us that God didn't save us just to be free—He saved us for a purpose. He rescues us from bondage so we can worship Him, grow in holiness, and live on mission for His Kingdom. God saves us, sanctifies us, and sends us into the world to reflect His goodness. Freedom isn't just about what you've been delivered from—it's about discovering what you've been delivered for.

There's a battle being fought for every person — and it isn't first a battle for behavior, morality, or success. It's a battle for identity. In this message, Pastor Chad reveals one of the enemy's oldest and most effective weapons: not a gun, a knife, or a prison, but a label.Words become labels. Labels become identities. Identities become destinies — unless they're declared wrong and removed. Pastor Chad walks through Scripture showing how God consistently renames people before He redirects their future, and how Jesus never called anyone by their label.In this episode:Why words are some of the deadliest weapons — wounds that never bleed but still scarHow labels don't just describe people, they confine themWhy God investigates the voices we believe before He corrects our behaviorHow Jesus restored names and dignity to everyone He encounteredWhy redemption always comes before God calls you by nameHow to identify the labels you're still wearing — and who gave them to youKey Scripture: "I have redeemed you; I have called you by name; you are Mine." — Isaiah 43:1 (NAS95)People may label your past. God names your future.

There's a big difference between moving and moving with God. In this message, Pastor Chad unpacks one of the most freeing truths in Scripture: the Christian life isn't about convincing God to bless what we're doing — it's about discerning what God is already doing and joining Him in it.Using the image of a river current and the wind of the Holy Spirit, Pastor Chad explores why so many believers feel exhausted — not because God has asked too much of them, but because they're straining against a current instead of flowing with it.In this episode:Why the Holy Spirit moves like wind — unseen, but recognizable by its effectsHow Israel's cloud in the wilderness teaches us to stay sensitive to God's leading today, not just yesterdayWhy discernment eventually has to become obedience — you can't stay in the boat foreverHow to recognize the Kingdom current by its fruit, not just its excitementWhy unity increases the flow of God's presence in a church, marriage, or teamWhy resistance doesn't always mean you've missed God

Pastor Chad teaches from 1 Chronicles 4:9–10, using the prayer of Jabez to show that God's favor is available to those who live in alignment with Him and seek Him in faith. He explains that believers should pray for God's blessing, greater influence to advance His kingdom, His empowering presence, and His protection while trusting that God hears and answers persistent, faith-filled prayer. Ultimately, the message encourages Christians to pursue a life of spiritual substance, rely on God's strength rather than their own, and confidently call on Him, knowing He is faithful to respond.
Ever notice how hard it is to start something — but how much easier it gets once you're actually moving? In this message, Pastor Chad unpacks the Parable of the Talents and reveals a truth that will reshape how you think about fear, faithfulness, and forward motion: God doesn't just want you moving. He wants you moving with momentum.In this episode:Why fear is really a byproduct of mistrust, not lazinessWhat David's private battles with a lion and a bear taught him before he ever faced GoliathWhy the one-talent servant wasn't condemned for failing — he was condemned for refusing to moveHow momentum is easier to lose than to gain (and how to protect it)Why God's guidance is progressive, not panoramic — He rarely gives the second instruction before the first one is obeyedHow distraction, not persecution, is one of the enemy's greatest weapons against your momentumKey Scripture: "For the one who has will be given more, until he overflows with abundance." — Matthew 25:29 (TPT)

Family Values: Why Discipline? - Pastor Chad Hertler 1 Corinthians 5: 1-8
What if the thing holding you back isn't fear of failure — it's fear of moving in the wrong direction? In this message, Pastor Chad tackles one of the most common struggles believers face: the paralysis of "what if I misunderstand God?" The answer isn't more certainty. It's realizing you were never asked to move first.In this episode:Why wisdom finds a way while fear finds an excuseThe difference between foolish recklessness and faith-filled riskHow the pillar of cloud in Exodus 13 redefines what it means to follow GodWhy the Ark went into the Jordan first — and what that means for your next stepRecognizing the difference between a resting season and a trying seasonHow God prepared Egypt for Joseph, positioned Mordecai for Esther, and commanded a widow before Elijah ever arrivedKey Scripture: "The Lord your God who goes before you will Himself fight on your behalf, just as He did for you in Egypt before your eyes." — Deuteronomy 1:30 (NAS95)The greatest risk isn't making the wrong move. It's refusing to make the next one. Wherever God is moving, He's already there — your job is simply to follow.

Through The Bible | Message 6: The Good News | Pastor Chad Dingess | 07/12/2026 by Bethesda Church
What does it mean to have a faith that's real when nobody is watching?In this powerful message, we're challenged to move beyond "front yard faith" and allow God to transform the "backyard" of our lives, the places no one else sees. Walking through Matthew 23, this sermon explores Jesus' warning against hypocrisy and reveals the kind of authentic Christian character that God blesses.Real faith isn't about appearances. It's about integrity, humility, obedience, and becoming the same person in private that we are in public.In this message you'll discover:• Why practicing what you preach matters• How integrity leads to God's favor• Why true greatness is found in serving others• How opening doors for people reflects the heart of Jesus• Why we must stop majoring on the minors and focus on what matters most• How God transforms us from the inside out• What authentic discipleship really looks like• How to build a faith that lasts beyond Sunday morningsWhether you've been following Jesus for years or you're exploring faith for the first time, this biblical teaching will encourage you to examine your heart and invite God to work in every area of your life.Scripture References:Matthew 23Matthew 7:3-5Proverbs 11:25Proverbs 12:22If this message encouraged you, be sure to LIKE, COMMENT, and SUBSCRIBE for more biblical teaching, Christian encouragement, and practical messages that help you grow in your relationship with Jesus.If you've just made a decision for Christ, please respond HERE: https://www.one.church/jesusTo Support this Ministry: https://www.one.church/giveWebsite: https://www.one.church/One Church Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/onedotchurchOne Church Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/onedotchurchGreg Ford Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/gregoryafordOne Church is on a mission to ignite a movement that reaches adisconnected culture.#onechurch #gregford #purpose
Pastor Chad teaches that true success comes not from pursuing power or outward achievement, but from living a life that reflects God's character. Drawing from Proverbs 3, he explains that God's favor follows those who demonstrate steadfast love, faithfulness, humility, and genuine goodness. Using biblical examples such as Ruth, he shows that loyal love and integrity position believers to receive God's blessing, while pride, cynicism, and a mocking spirit repel God's favor. He concludes by challenging listeners to focus less on appearing successful and more on allowing the Holy Spirit to transform their character, trusting that when they pursue God's way, His favor and lasting success will naturally follow.
Season 6, Episode 27 | Pastor Chad reconnects with longtime friend Mike Tiland of WorldView Academy, discussing the recent loss of Mike's mom to cancer, lessons on bold gospel clarity in grief and family life, and the importance of remembering Christ amid personal and ministry challenges, while continuing their conversation in the pastoral epistles series.
In this message, Chad Narayan teaches that the gospel is, at its core, an invitation. Using the theme "Paperless Post," he unpacks how the final chapter of Scripture ends with one simple word: "Come." God isn't waiting for people to become perfect before approaching Him He's extending an open invitation to anyone who is thirsty, weary, searching, or broken. Through Jesus, every barrier has been removed, and everyone is invited to experience His grace, forgiveness, and abundant life. Pastor Chad reminds believers that salvation is only the beginning of the journey. Jesus didn't die simply to get us into heaven one day He came so we could experience life to the fullest today. Too many Christians settle for surviving instead of thriving, allowing fear, shame, comparison, or selfish ambition to keep them from walking in the freedom and purpose God has already made available. Because of Jesus, we have direct access to the Father and an open invitation to live in relationship with Him every day. Ultimately, this message is a call to respond to God's invitation and extend that same invitation to others. The Church exists to echo heaven's message: "Come." Come and receive grace. Come and find hope. Come and discover the abundant life that only Jesus can offer. The invitation has already been sent—all that's left is our response.
Using King Uzziah's life in 2 Chronicles 26, Pastor Chad taught that pride is the greatest threat to God's favor. While success and blessings can tempt us to rely on ourselves, humility keeps us dependent on God and open to His grace. True humility grows through worship as our focus shifts from ourselves to God's holiness, allowing His favor and presence to remain at work in our lives.
Season 6, Episode 26 | Pastor Chad and Dr. Ryan Stephens discuss the challenges of parenting older kids and keeping the family grounded in the Lord amid competing activities, while taking and reading 2 Timothy 2:1-7 together.
In this message, Chad Veach unpacks the beautiful invitation found in Revelation 22: "Come." He explains that the Spirit of God and the Church are extending an open invitation to everyone—not just the religious, the qualified, or the people who have it all together. The gospel isn't about earning your way to God; it's about responding to His invitation. Through Jesus, every person has been welcomed to experience forgiveness, purpose, and the abundant life only He can give. Pastor Chad reminds us that our access to God is based on Jesus' finished work, not our performance. Fear, shame, comparison, and feelings of inadequacy often convince us that we don't belong, but Jesus has already opened the door. Because of Him, we have direct access to the Father, a new identity, and a purpose that extends beyond simply living for ourselves. The abundant life isn't found in more success or possessions—it's found in more of Jesus. Ultimately, this message is a call to remember when God first called your name and to invite others into the same life-changing relationship with Him. Pastor Chad encourages believers not just to believe in God, but to live for Him—allowing His love to overflow into every area of life and reaching those who are still searching. The Church's message to the world is simple and timeless: Come.
Season 6, Episode 24 | Pastor Chad welcomes Parker Smith back to discuss the humbling realities of fatherhood revealing selfishness and the challenge of consistent time in the Word with a newborn, while they unpack 2 Timothy 1:12-18.
Condensed Message Summary (2–3 Paragraphs) In this message, Chad Veach emphasizes that Jesus' invitation to humanity is beautifully simple: come. God is not waiting for people to have everything figured out before approaching Him. Instead, He welcomes the broken, the weary, and the searching into a relationship with Him. Pastor Chad explains that many people spend their lives pursuing success, comfort, and approval, only to discover that true fulfillment is found in God's presence and the abundant life Jesus offers. Pastor Chad challenges listeners to move beyond simply attending church or practicing religion and to embrace a life fully surrendered to Jesus. Fear, shame, comparison, and selfish ambition often prevent us from experiencing everything God has prepared for us. Through Christ, however, we have been given access to the Father, a new identity, and a purpose greater than ourselves. The invitation of the gospel is not merely about eternal life someday—it's about experiencing transformation and purpose today. Ultimately, this message is a reminder that God's grace is available to everyone. No matter where you've been or what you've done, Jesus is still calling your name. The door is open, the invitation remains, and the abundant life you've been searching for begins when you simply respond to His call: come.
