• Are current conflicts signs of the end times?
• Jesus' teachings in Matthew 24 about wars and rumors of wars

In this timely episode, Pastor Chet addresses one of today's most divisive topics through a biblical lens, sharing his personal discovery of his family's undocumented immigration status from the Bahamas and how it shaped his understanding of Christ-centered responses to controversial issues.

🔥 Pastor Chet teaches three essential principles for Christians navigating immigration and other sensitive topics: maintaining Christian character as outlined in Matthew 5, demonstrating Christian conduct worthy of the gospel, and understanding Christian contention through the balance of Romans 13:1 and Acts 5:29.

📖 This message challenges believers to move beyond political divisions and respond with the heart of Christ - showing mercy to all people, being peacemakers, and choosing prayer over protest. Pastor Chet shares powerful examples from his missionary work in Liberia, where he and his wife rescued 1,500 child soldiers, demonstrating what sacrificial gospel living actually looks like.

📌 If you're struggling with how to respond biblically to complex social and political issues while maintaining your witness for Christ, this episode offers biblical perspective and practical guidance. Pastor Chet reminds listeners that the most powerful response to any crisis is prayer, encouraging believers to seek God's intervention rather than relying solely on human solutions.

In this powerful episode, Pastor Chet tackles one of Christianity's most challenging realities: why there are over 40,000 different denominations when Jesus prayed for unity among believers. Drawing from extensive church history research, he explores the difference between destructive conflict and fighting the good fight of faith.

🔥 Pastor Chet reveals how church divisions throughout history - from the Eastern and Western church split to modern disagreements (including churches that actually divided over whether Adam had a belly button!) - teach us when conflict strengthens faith versus when it becomes sinfully divisive.

📖 This message examines Paul's confrontation with Peter in Galatians and Jude's instruction to "contend for the faith," showing believers how to stand for biblical truth while maintaining Christian love. Pastor Chet distinguishes between foolish arguments that waste energy and the "good fight" that honors God and advances His kingdom.

📌 If you're struggling with disagreements in your church community or wondering how to defend your faith without causing division, this episode provides biblical wisdom for navigating conflict in a way that glorifies Christ and preserves the unity He desires for His people.

In this powerful episode, Pastor Chet explores one of God's most profound attributes: long suffering. He examines how Moses encountered God in Exodus 33-34, where the Lord described Himself as "merciful, gracious, and long suffering" - a quality He's now developing in each of us.

🔥 Pastor Chet teaches that as Christians made in God's image and being conformed to Christ's likeness, we're called to embody this same perseverance through trials. He unpacks what biblical long suffering actually looks like in our daily lives.

📖 This message explains why Christians aren't quitters, how pain serves a divine purpose, and why there's "something wonderful in the wait." Drawing from Moses' encounter with God and Isaiah 40:31, Pastor Chet reveals that the suffering we experience isn't punishment—it's preparation for something greater.

📌If you're walking through a difficult season or struggling to understand why God allows trials in your life, this episode offers biblical perspective and encouragement for your faith journey.
