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.

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.

Team Faith's Chuck Lemaster spoke at a church in Wellsville, NY. Subscribers may recognize it as part of a message preached in 2013 on the GNCC series. The title, "A Chunk of Pavement" references Chuck holding up a piece of asphalt and talking about the streets in heaven being paved with gold! Chuck also relates experiences in Egypt when Team Faith traveled there for a freestyle show.

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.

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's Chuck Lemaster was invited to speak at Beaver Local Middle School in Lisbon, Ohio. This was for a mandatory assembly and the purpose was to motivate the students to do their best in their tests the following week. Because it was mandatory and not optional, Chuck had to be very careful about laws protecting the separation between church and state. As such, he could not preach the Gospel! However, students were welcomed to pick up Team Faith brochures that have the Gospel message printed on them. Nearly 500 brochures were given out after the presentation! This recorded podcast is from the 5th and 6th grader speech given 4/22/2014.

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.

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!"

Team Faith's Chuck Lemaster speaks on all 12 messages from the 2013 GNCC season...rolled into one! "What do they all add up to?" "Did we explore a common theme?" The answer is, "Yes! Go all-in! No regrets."

Team Faith's Chuck Lemaster uses Miley Cyrus as a lead-in to, "Judge not lest ye be judged." This chapel was recorded live at the Gusher GNCC and Chuck takes an honest look at judging vs. discerning right from wrong and what should our approach be?

Team Faith's Chuck Lemaster holds up a chunk of pavement at the beginning of this chapel service and relates that to Jesus' message regarding laying up treasure in heaven. Chuck also shares about going to Egypt and doing freestyle motocross in October 2012. This was recorded live at the Unadilla GNCC.

Team Faith's Chuck Lemaster talks about world record long distance jumps on dirt bikes and relates that to how we often view heaven! This was recorded live at the 2013 Snowshoe GNCC chapel service in June 2013.
