Eat the Honey | Pastor Chris Chondrogiannis by Highlight Church

Sermon NotesCLICK HERE

In this message from Pastor Chris, we explore Romans 4:1-12 to see how God's plan for salvation has never changed. Using Abraham and David as examples, Paul shows that we are made right with God by faith, not by works or religious rituals. Our culture teaches that worth must be earned, but the gospel declares that God's love is given before we do anything to deserve it. Faith is more than belief, it is trusting in what Jesus has already done and living in the freedom it brings. This truth frees us from striving, condemnation, and fear, so we can live out of gratitude rather than obligation.

Pastor Chris preaches on Psalm 30.

Today, we explored the powerful concept of accelerating beyond life's problems through faith. The central message revolves around Hebrews 11:1, reminding us that faith is the substance of things hoped for and the evidence of things not seen. This scripture challenges us to look beyond our current circumstances and see with spiritual eyes. We learned that our problems are temporal, but God's promises are eternal. The story of Peter walking on water beautifully illustrates how keeping our focus on Jesus, rather than the storms of life, enables us to overcome. This message encourages us to train our inner vision, meditating on God's promises and acting as if they're already fulfilled. It's a call to shift our perspective from earthly struggles to heavenly realities, empowering us to not just endure, but to advance in our faith journey.

Pastor Chris preached “Unshakable Kingdom,” reminding us that while everything else can be shaken, our security in God's kingdom will always stand firm. 

Thank you for joining us for today's worship service! Pastor Chris leads us to review the work of the apostle Andrew from the brief accounts of him in the Gospels. What we see Andrew doing, and what we also can do, is point people to Jesus, notice who is around us, and start with those closest to us. In wherever we go, and with whoever we meet, we can share God's love in us with others, pointing them to Jesus. If you prayed to make Jesus your Lord today, we want to rejoice with you! If you would want someone to pray with you, we are eager to do so! If you would like more information about our church, we're want to share.

Pastor Chris explores what it truly means to walk with God—not through grand miracles or public recognition, but in everyday moments of connection, humility, and love. Through the story of Enoch, we discover how faith shapes who we become, helps us serve others, and frees us from fear—even in life's hardest moments.

Today's message challenges us to serve others because Jesus first loved us. Why are followers of Jesus called to serve?

In this powerful message, we're reminded that faith is a divine catalyst that can accelerate our spiritual journey and transform our lives. The central theme revolves around Abraham's unwavering belief in God's promise, despite seemingly impossible circumstances. This story from Genesis teaches us that faith isn't about understanding every detail, but trusting in God's character and His ability to fulfill His word. We're encouraged to see beyond our current situations, just as Abraham did, and believe in the unseen promises of God. The message challenges us to live in a state of expectancy, knowing that God can turn waiting rooms into launching pads for our dreams and aspirations. It's a call to embrace faith as a present-tense reality, bringing tomorrow's breakthroughs into today's expectations. This perspective shift can radically change how we approach challenges and setbacks in our lives, viewing them as opportunities for God to demonstrate His faithfulness.

Pastor Chris continues our teaching series entitled “The Life of Moses: A Friend of God” In this fifteenth study of the series, “Breaking of the Covenant,” we investigate Exodus 32 as Israel breaks covenant with God by building and worshipping a golden calf idol. Moses mediates relationship for Israel with God in keeping with God's desire. We learn of our need to fully commit to God and eradicate idols from our lives as well as own our responsibility to mediate for others struggling in their lives of faith.

Pastor Chris preaches from Matthew 22:1-14, which is the third parable pointing us towards what a Christian, who truly belongs to the Kingdom of Heaven, looks like.

On this episode of The Link, Pastor Chris gives us a practical framework for sharing the Gospel with Generation Z. With three simple steps (beliefs, barriers, and boulevards), Pastor Chris explores why Gen Z’s spiritual openness calls for an approach that's rooted in empathy and connection.

In the final episode of our five-part series on Gen Z, Pastor Chris reminds us that what the next generation needs most isn't a perfect church, but a faithful one that's ready to welcome them home. We've seen that Gen Z is spiritually open, relationally hungry, and more curious than cynical. But are we listening? Jump in as we close Gen Z & the Quiet Revival with a challenge to start praying for and investing in the Gen Zers in your life.Support the show: https://woodsidebible.org/listen/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In part one of a new four-part series on The Link, Pastor Chris kicks off a powerful conversation about building a multi-generational legacy of faith. With the heart of a pastor and a parent, he shares why passing faith to the next generation is our most important calling, and it’s not something we’re meant to do alone.

Thank you for joining us for today's worship service! Pastor Chris concludes our Summer in the Psalms series with Psalm 51. This psalm marked the time in King David's life that he was confronted with his sin and repented, and his prayer to God in this psalm guides us when we find that we need to repent. David's prayer expressed his confidence in God's mercy for us, his honesty about his own sin, his receptivity to change as God led, his vision for how God could use him, and an understanding of God's heart.

# Miracles Week 10: The True Mission of Jesus In the tenth week of our series on miracles, we explored the intriguing relationship between Jesus' miraculous works and his ultimate mission. This sermon challenges the notion that Jesus sought to promote his miracles for popularity, drawing a parallel with the promotional tactics of the Ringling Brothers Circus. ## **Mark 1:23-45** ### Key Themes: - **Misconceptions About Miracles:** - Pastor Chris begins by drawing a parallel between the promotional strategies of the Ringling Brothers Circus and the way Jesus' miracles were perceived. The circus used vibrant promotion to draw crowds, but Jesus did not seek to advertise his miraculous works. - The sermon emphasizes that Jesus never used miracles to draw a crowd or gain fame. Instead, he often instructed those he healed to remain silent about their experiences. - **Jesus' True Mission:** - The sermon highlights that Jesus' primary mission was not to perform miracles but to offer forgiveness and establish the kingdom of God. This is evident in **Mark 2:1-12**, where Jesus forgives a paralyzed man's sins before healing him physically. - Jesus' miracles served as signs pointing to his divine authority and the coming kingdom, but they were not the main focus of his ministry. - **The Importance of Discretion:** - Pastor Chris discusses the need for wisdom in sharing our personal experiences with God. Not every divine encounter or miracle is meant to be shared publicly, as they can sometimes distract from the true message of the Gospel. - **Mark 1:40-45** illustrates this point, where Jesus heals a leper and instructs him to tell no one. The leper's disobedience led to Jesus having to stay in lonely places due to the overwhelming crowds. - **The Greatest Miracle: Forgiveness of Sins:** - The sermon underscores that the most significant miracle Jesus offers is the forgiveness of sins, which reconciles us with God and grants us eternal life. - This miracle of salvation is accessible to all through faith in Jesus Christ, as emphasized in **Ephesians 2:8-9**: "For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God—not by works, so that no one can boast." ### Conclusion The sermon concludes by urging believers to focus on sharing the core message of the Gospel: the miracle of salvation through Jesus Christ. While personal testimonies of divine encounters can be powerful, they should always point back to the central truth of Jesus' mission—our redemption and forgiveness. In essence, while miracles can draw attention, the true miracle we must proclaim is the transformative power of Jesus' forgiveness and the new life it brings. This is the story we are compelled to share, a story that transcends our personal experiences and points to the eternal hope we have in Christ.

In this episode of the GrowLeader Podcast, Pastor Chris Hodges explores the spiritual side of leadership—the unseen battles that impact your life, ministry, and leadership.  Pastor Chris unpacks why some challenges aren't just practical—they're spiritual—and how prayer is your greatest weapon. He shares personal insight like how to recognize spiritual warfare in everyday leadership, use the name of Jesus, the cross, and Scripture to fight back, and finally how to build a culture of prayer in your home, church, or business.   All Things GrowLeader: Bulk order Pray First for Young Readers: https://churchsource.com/products/pray-first-for-young-readers-simple-steps-for-talking-and-listening-to-god?variant=41953943748705 Pray First Book Resources: https://www.thomasnelson.com/p/prayfirst/ Highlands Resources: https://resources.churchofthehighlands.com/ Prayer Guide PDF: https://assets.highlands.io/21days/2023/pray-first-guide.pdf Church of the Highlands 21 Days of Prayer: https://21days.churchofthehighlands.com/ Learn More about GrowLeader OneDays: https://www.growleader.com/onedays Join Monthly Mentoring with Pastor Chris: https://www.growleader.com/monthlymentoring Access FREE church resources: https://www.churchofthehighlands.com/resources Develop a Kingdom Builders or Legacy Team: https://www.growleader.com/kbvirtualintensive Watch more episodes: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCyCNQpi3YxaOeQAIdSpbeVw   Follow along on Socials:    Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/growleader/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/growleader   Verse References: 2 Corinthians 4:4 Daniel 10 1 Kings 5:3 Matthew 18:20 Ephesians 6 2 Corinthians 10:3-5 2 Corinthians 11:14  John 10:10  1 Peter 5:8-9 1 John 4:4 Philippians 2:9-10 Luke 10:18 Revelation 12:11 Luke 4 Matthew 4 Romans 8:37 Psalm 27 Philippians 4:19 Psalm 103:3 2 Corinthians 3:6 Psalm 121 James 4:7-8 1 John 1:9 Lamentations 3:22-23 2 Corinthians 2:10-11 Ephesians 4:26-27 Ephesians 5 John 8:44 John 8:31-32

In this message Pastor Chris explores the power availability to us through the blood of Jesus. It is so easy for us to fall into the trap of our own self sufficiency and miss the glorious invitation to be a people who are not only in need of a Savior, but are truly saved in Christ.  

In part seven of Upside-Down Summer, we flipped the script on purity—and let's just say, not everything that looks appealing is worth pouring into your life. Jesus said the pure in heart will see God, but a clear view of Him starts with a clean heart. We learn that what's in the cup matters more than how it's served.

Pastor Chris unpacks Joshua 3 and what it means to follow the Spirit—especially when we're stepping into places we've never been before.

Part five of the "Head Games" series. Pastor Chris chimes in on the series talking about mind clutter. To go from clutter to clarity in our mind, it takes TRANSFORMATION from God's Word. He shows how to apply that TRANSFORMATION in your life.

"Wherever you're struggling, whatever you're going through today, it's not proof of God's absence, but it's the place where you're going to encounter his presence." --Pastor Chris Dow In this powerful message, Pastor Chris Dow dives into the familiar story of Lazarus to reveal a profound truth: Jesus knows your name. While we often focus on the miraculous resurrection, Pastor Dow highlights that the greatest miracle is not a dead man coming to life, but the eternally existent Word of God standing in our own cemeteries. Discover how Jesus's personal call brings life, confidence, and a new identity that isn't dependent on your circumstances, but on His presence and power. +++++++ You can find our service times on our website: https://www.anctally.com/ You can find sermon highlights on Twitter here: https://x.com/allnationstally

"Jesus surely has a sense of humor," Pastor Chris says, "and proof positive is that He called me to be a pastor." But does Jesus really have a sense of humor, and is there any evidence in the Scripture of it? Join us for a look at a fascinating snapshot of Jesus' teaching in Luke 12 where we ponder both a question posed to him and a parable that followed. Some delightfully funny moments (at least according to Pastor Chris) show us some wonderful insights into the mind and character of Christ. The painting associated with this podcast/sermon (visible on the Epiclesis website but not on the iTunes Podcast thumbnail) is titled "Jesus the Light of Love" by Ivan Guaderrama.

In this powerful message, we're reminded of the transformative power of understanding our righteousness in Christ. The central theme revolves around Proverbs 13:12, 'Hope deferred makes the heart sick,' exploring how prolonged waiting can lead to disappointment and even depression. However, we're encouraged to shift our focus from our own performance to Christ's finished work on the cross. The message emphasizes that our righteousness isn't based on our actions, but on Jesus' sacrifice. This revelation of our righteous position in Christ serves as a launch pad for spiritual acceleration, freeing us from guilt, shame, and fear. As we embrace this truth, we're challenged to see ourselves as God sees us - completely justified and acquitted. This perspective shift has the power to revolutionize our faith walk, enabling us to move boldly and quickly into God's purpose for our lives.
