America is not Israel. However, Malachi explains, "I the LORD do not change." We can see how God worked in the past and have a greater understanding for what He is doing now. In Old Testament times, God gave warnings and signs before sending judgement. Likewise, He's given indications in modern times as well. America isn't paying attention, but as Christians, we need to know the signs of the times. And take heart! God's purposes always prevail! 

Speaking live at the Camp Coker GNCC on May 30, 2020, Team Faith's Chuck Lemaster expounds on the topic of "Heaven." There are many questions that the Bible does't directly address, but many answers, as well - especially when placed in the context of WHO God is and WHAT His purpose is. We knnow for certain that heaven is wonderful and that God has a purpose while we are here! 

This is "Church at the Racetrack!" Hence, background noise and distractions - yet the message is clear: God had a plan from the beginning of time! Genesis 1 shows God creating mankind in His own image and the rest of the Bible, The Story of God, is all about Him redeeming and making a way for that unique and special creation to be in right relationship with Him. This is part 12 of a 13 part series - Through the Ages and the Pages. In tonight's message, Team Faith's Chuck Lemaster walks the audience through the beginning of the church and how God had a plan to spread the Good News of the Gospel to all the known world! It includes the most unlikely of all character's...Peter! The Apostle who denied he even knew Jesus. Yet, God's forgiveness covers even that and the game-plan is still on - even today! 

"Through the Ages and the Pages" has been a fascinating journey through the Bible! Week 10 left off with Jesus being "The Savior of the World." But how? Nicodemus comes to Jesus with a question on his mind. But before he can even ask, Jesus says, "You must be born again!" Which for Nick, that was the first time that phrase had ever been used and it was rather uncomfortable! Then Jesus brought up an ancient story of when Moses lifted up a snake on a pole. It made no sense at the time, but 2000 years later, we see with exact clarity that God had a plan! Jesus ultimately paid the price for our sin and fulfilled a promise God made at the very beginning of time! Give a listen as Team Faith's Chuck Lemaster ties the Old and New Testaments together and shows how God was and is faithful and how He still loves us today! 
Message was presented to the GNCC crowd at the Mason-Dixon race in Mt Morris, PA on September 28, 2019. 

"Through the Ages and the Pages" has been a journey through the Bible. It's a story of God's love for His special creation. He made a promise and although ALWAYS in jeopardy, that promise remained steadfast. Week 9 took the audience through 400 years of "silence." Week 10 is the coming of the Messiah! Something new is on the horizon! Something amazing is happening! And it was the Woman at the Well who first learned that Jesus was indeed the Savior of the World. Give a listen as Team Faith's Chuck Lemaster presents the truth of how much God loves us! This message was presented to an FCA audience at WMMX Motocross in Sweetwater, TN. (Was presented first on GNCC at the Black Sky GNCC in Harpursville, NY September 14th - but there were technical difficulties with that recording.) 

Week 9 of a 13 series "Through the Ages and the Pages" (Through the Bible) brings the audience to the blank page that divides the Old Testament and the New Testament. That page represents 400 years. Often referred to as "The Silent Years" because there is no record of God speaking through prophets, judges, kings, etc. Actually, people gt the impression that God took his hands off the steering wheel during this era! Nothing could be further from the truth!! Give a listen as Team Faith's Chuck Lemaster takes the GNCC audience through that timeline and shows how God was incredibly at work, setting the stage for his coming Son and the wildfire spread of the Gospel in the 1st Century! 
Message delivered at the High Voltage GNCC race, July 6, 2019 in Dunkard, PA. 

Part 8 of a 13 part series - Through the Bible in 13 messages. God has made a promise and the narrative has arrived at the time of the prophets. And yet, the people don't listen. Captivity awaits but God's hand, his plan and his purpose shine through! Just as the nation reaches it's breaking point, God reveals he will use terrible circumstances to accomplish his will. Team Faith's Chuck Lemaster shares this message at the top of Snowshoe Mountain in West Virginia. 

This is week 7 of going through the Bible in 13 messages. God has a plan and a purpose to redeem and restore His special creation: you and me! Yet at every turn, that promise is in peril. God raises up judges to turn the people back to Him and keep his promise on track. As soon as the judge dies, the people forget. God raises Samson who really has no interest in God's promise, God's faithfulness or God's plan. And yet God uses Samson to fulfill His Divine destiny! The little known fact is that the nation of Israel was on the brink of extinction when Samson came around. Even though Samson didn't care, God did! And God's purposes prevailed. Give it a listen as Team Faith's Chuck Lemaster explains the narrative at the Tomahawk GNCC in NY. 

Part 6 of a 13 parts series: Through the Ages and the Pages. The Bible, the story of God! We were created for relationship. That was broken with the original sin and God has been on a Redemptive Mission ever since! He promised that a descendant of Eve would "crush the serpent's head" and then He made a promise to Abraham that would ultimately bring Gen 3:14 true. In part 6 of the story, we see how individuals get to be part of the greater story. Rahab has a very unique viewpoint on the Abrahamic Covenant! 

As we work our way through the Bible, we often get stopped with all those strange and unusual laws in the Old Testament. Some people conclude that God is just a control freak! As Christians, we know better, but not really sure what to do with a commandment prohibiting someone from trimming the edge of their beard! In week 5 of this 13 part series, Team Faith's Chuck Lemaster takes a closer look at the LAW and how it actually fits with God's promise to Abraham...and how it was "fulfilled" with Jesus. Give a listen for some fresh insights on a potentially confusing subject! 

Through the Ages and the Pages: Week 4 is the story of the Exodus and how that relates to The Triumphal Entry that we celebrate on Palm Sunday! God made a promise to Abraham to use him to bless the entire world. We know that Jesus was certainly that blessing...but the story of how God moved and set that up is absolutely amazing! Team Faith's Chuck Lemaster is taking the GNCC Racin' Nation through the entire Bible in the 13 weeks of the 2019 Race Season. Round 1 got cancelled and pushed everything back two weeks. Amazingly, this puts the critical story of Passover right on Palm Sunday weekend! God told the Israelites to "Get a lamb" on the 10th day of the month and to sacrifice it on the 14th day. 1,500 years later, Jesus rides into Jerusalem on the 10th day, and is crucified on the 14th day. The parallelism is unmistakable! 

If you've ever felt that God has forgotten, overlooked or ignored you - you're not alone! Chuck takes the audience through the story of Joseph at the Steele Creek GNCC. The story is amazing - but even more amazing is how God used Joseph to preserve the covenant He made with Abraham! This is part 3 of a 13 part series: Through the Ages and the Pages - The Story of God!

This is the 2nd message from Through the Ages and the Pages: A 13 week walk through the Bible. Team Faith's Chuck Lemaster describes the promise God made to Abraham all the way back in Genesis and shows how the "Abrahamic Covenant" is central to all the rest of the Bible. God kept his promise, even when Abraham messed up! We know God will continue to keep his word because he already HAS kept his word! The message was delivered at Round 2 of the 2019 GNCC series, Washington, GA. 

"Through the Ages and the Pages!" This is part 1 of a 13 part series going through the Bible. It's a fascinating look at the story of God! The Bible has been deemed "unnecessary" and "irrelevant" to modern society. But so much of what we don't understand is because we've never looked at it the way that it actually unfolded. One continuous storyline: Creation, The Fall and the Restoration of it all! Team Faith's Chuck Lemaster kicks off the series at 2019 GNCC Round 1 by looking at God's amazing creation: man and woman, their decision to rule their own lives....and the subsequent ruination of that creation. Tune in for some insights you've perhaps never heard before!
