Team Faith's Chuck Lemaster challenges his listeners to not take something at face-value. Instead, know why you believe what you believe. Our culture has made compelling arguments for "There is no God" and "This is all by chance and evolution." If you believe that - why? If you believe there is a God - what do these scientific arguments mean to you? Are they reliable? Should they shake your faith? Or are there things that we haven't been told?

The GNCC Racing Community lost a racer at Round 2 of the 2016 Season. At Round 3, the GNCC Chapel Service was a memorial and dedication to Ty Kesten. The audio track opens with Team Faith Chaplain, Chuck Lemaster, being interviewed at the track. Tim Cotter, Race Director/MX Sports, speaks to the group and Chuck closes out with a message, "What do you do with tragedy? Is there hope?" The message is taken directly from John 11 - the story of Jesus raising Lazarus to life. Of course, Lazarus later died. So where is our REAL hope?

Seems there are so many distractions in life - and worse yet, God seems to do things in other people's lives that he DOESN'T do in yours. Or maybe He just doesn't seem to care about the pain and suffering that is all around us. Sometimes it seems SIN is the way to go. How do you handle that? How does a Supreme Court decision affect me as an individual? Team Faith's Chuck Lemaster digs into these questions at the Unadilla GNCC in 2015.

This is a follow up to the 5/24/2015 message, "Why is it BAD to be a Christian?" Being a Follower of Jesus is ILLEGAL in approximately 50 countries around the globe. Why? And if that is true, then wouldn't it be easier to just not be a Christian? Team Faith's Chuck Lemaster talks about this at the John Penton GNCC in 2015. There must be a compelling reason...

Team Faith's Chuck Lemaster explores the question, "Why is it bad to be a Christian?" It is illegal in certain countries. ISIS is killing people for being a follower of Christ. Even in America on Memorial Day when we celebrate those who died to give us freedom, we see Christians being put under pressure to change their ideology. If being a "Christian" is to follow Jesus Christ who taught, "love your neighbors and your enemies," then WHY is it such a bad thing? Chuck takes most of the message to build the case and then provides a not-so-comfortable answer toward the end.

Team Faith's Chuck Lemaster shares a personal story of coming back from the brink of bankruptcy and being able to enter ministry full-time. The message challenges listeners to go all-in for Jesus Christ and to put God first. Chuck admits it is a message he did not want to speak since it deals with finances...which is always personal! But, by sharing his own story, he connects with the audience as he explains current financial stresses.

Does God answer prayer? If so, why do some prayers get answers and not others? Team Faith's Chuck Lemaster explores these relevant questions at the Big Buck GNCC.

Through chattering teeth, Chuck Lemaster (with Team Faith Racing Ministries) looks at the final days of Jesus' life at the Steele Creek GNCC...one of the coldest on record! He combines the 4 Gospel stories to give a thorough review of the days and times...and focuses in on Judas's betrayal. Having been with Jesus, seen signs and miracles, how could Judas do such a thing? The answer actually isn't far from what each of us experience!

That's probably a personal interpretation, but Team Faith's Chuck Lemaster relates a story that answers the question, "What is faith?" We know God can...but will he? Follow along as Chuck shares from The General GNCC in Aonia Pass, GA.

Seems a simple question...but there are so many answers! Team Faith's Chuck Lemaster explores a simple sentence in the book of Acts, "And they were first called Christians in Antioch." What does this have to do with modern day Christianity? Spoken at the GNCC Season opener in Florida, March 2015.

Daniel 12:4 says that at the end of time, people will be busier than ever, and knowledge will increase. Does that mean this is the end?! People have been saying that for thousands of years! How could today be any different from when the Pope said the world would end in 1000AD? Listen in as Team Faith's Chuck Lemaster discusses this subject at the St. Clairesville, OH GNCC. His main point is to not speculate with prophecy, but rather test it to see if there is context. You may be surprised!

It's evolution vs creation. Seems like an old debate! That's why this message isn't about an argument, but rather an encouragement! There is purpose to life. There's a way to know it. Team Faith's Chuck Lemaster tackled this subject at the Somerset PA GNCC race. You are invited to listen along!

Team Faith's Chuck Lemaster spoke at the Unadilla GNCC race. He shared a message God placed on his heart about Hell and our eternal destiny. Admittedly, it wasn't a comfortable subject - but God instructed his prophet Ezekiel to warn people...and if he didn't, God would hold HIM accountable! Chuck took no chances and pointedly shared the truth with the GNCC community.

Bad things - "shiznitty things" happen in life! Not everything "happens for a reason." Take Joseph for example. BAD things happened to him and the root cause was sin...James tells us in the New Testament that God doesn't sin, nor does he cause us to sin. However, God is big enough to redeem sinful things. Team Faith's Chuck Lemaster walks through the life of Joseph as he discusses this subject at the John Penton GNCC 2014.

God gave a promise, and then Jacob manipulated life in order to obtain that promise. Is that how it works? Do we get God's best by forcing God to give it? We know better than that...so what was going on? Team Faith's Chuck Lemaster discusses this at the Mountaineer Run GNCC chapel service.

John the Baptizer preached repentance and forgiveness of sins and then baptized people. Jesus never sinned! So why did he need to be baptized? Team Faith's Chuck Lemaster explores this question at the Loretta Lynn's GNCC 2014. It's an unusual baptism service because most of the message is about the temptation of Christ. How is that relevant to baptism?

"The Holy Spirit" is a strange subject for many...but Team Faith's Chuck Lemaster show's how God interacts with us...how an extraordinary life is something only He can provide and it is His power...not ours!

Team Faith pit pastor, Chuck Lemaster, discusses "How can we know for certain that what we believe is actually The Truth?" There are thousands of religions in the world and each one claims to be the only legitimate one...so how can you know for sure? This message was delivered at the Big Buck GNCC race April 13, 2014.

Part 3 in a series, "I Believe" Team Faith's Chuck Lemaster discusses a passage from the Gospel of Mark that talks about handling snakes with safety. Unfortunately, that passage showed up in 8th century manuscripts and not in the earlier 4th century copies. So...is there a mistake in the Bible? How old was Jehoiachin when he became king of Israel? 2 Kings says he was 18, but the parallel passage in 2 Chronicles says he was 8. What do we do with inaccuracies and possible mistakes? The premise is that God has always used imperfect human beings to accomplish his perfect purposes.

This is 2nd in a series titled "I Believe." Team Faith's Chuck Lemaster preaches on the GNCC Race Series and this message is from Round Two at Aonia Pass, GA. Chuck talks about core beliefs and how the early Christians were willing to die for what they believed...including being fed to lions! His conclusion was, "If they can die by it then surely I can live by it!"
