Messiah St. Charles Weekly Messages

The discipleship journey is individual, but its goal is the same for all—to invite more followers to experience life in Jesus! Our series concludes this Sunday with some practical tips on how YOU can shine God’s light so more people come to faith in Jesus.

Sometimes religion gets in the way of truly following Jesus. When we get caught up in the letter of the law, we oftentimes miss the spirit of it. There are some practices we have that run contrary to the Great Commission. Pastor Jim Mueller gets into what we truly need to embrace when it comes to following Jesus...and what's just noise.

It won't always be easy. We won't always succeed perfectly, but following Jesus means doing what Jesus would do, and acting like Jesus would act. What does this look like? Pastor Chuck Schlie explains the hows and whys of modeling our actions and behaviors on Jesus.

Unity among Christians is not always the reality, but it is what we are called to strive for. On Sunday, Pastor Jim will explain why we must put people over preferences as we seek to become disciples who grow God's Kingdom.

For Christians, believing in Jesus is a given. We profess the creed, take Holy Communion, and read the Bible with an open heart toward life transformation. But do we truly FOLLOW Jesus? That's the question at the heart of this series because "following" takes action...and sacrifice. There is a cost to following Jesus. Pastor Chuck Schlie teaches on why the cost is worth it.

Jesus invites everyone to follow Him. Everyone. No sin precludes you from being in a relationship with your Savior. Don’t believe it? Pastor Jim Mueller teaches on what Scripture has to say about sinners (i.e., all of us) following Jesus — and what steps to take once you accept His invitation to follow Him.

Follow: Week 1| The Invitation

As followers of Jesus, we mark our lives as "before" and "after." When we answer His call, our lives will change forever.

Holy Week begins with Jesus's triumphal entry into Jerusalem on Palm Sunday. He gets a hero's welcome, but the exultation is short-lived. On Sunday. Pastor Chuck sets the stage for the events that transpire over the next week that lead our Savior to suffer death on the cross on our behalf.

We've reached the end of our series and we're putting the fourth theory to the test. On this Jubilee Sunday, we're bringing our gifts to God to celebrate all that he's accomplished through us and our church this year.

When you give to God, what does it cost you? If you were to give like God, it would cost you everything. But God isn't asking for everything—Jesus already took care of our debts. Our gifts are in response to His sacrifice, and sometimes we are called to give above and beyond. Learn from Pastor Chuck why willingly giving generously of "our" treasures can have such a profound effect on our faith.

Do you manage your money, or does it manage you? This Sunday, we will be experimenting with what it means to "test" God with your money through budgeting the way He tells you to. If financial pressure has you in its grips, this message will offer you some practical relief.

Giving God’s way is the way to lower stress, invest in love, and increase cheerful living through cheerful giving. Pastor Chuck Schlie opens this new series with an introduction to giving God’s way by looking at passages from His Word that demonstrate how to handle money.

As it turns out, Jesus was no stranger to joy. He went to weddings. He shared lively meals with his friends. He drank with them. He had so much fun and acted so freely around the dinner table, the uptight religious leaders called him a glutton and a drunkard. He didn’t worry about what would happen to his reputation when he hung out with people that others thought were shady, and he was always uninhibited in his pursuit of compassion and joy for others. Jesus let his hair down, too.

The statistics are alarming. According to the World Health Organization, anxiety and depression are up 25% since 2020—a statistic that signals a mental health crisis on top of a global pandemic. The stress of the past few years is felt across the world.

In this week 7 message of the He Gets Us series, Pastor Jim addresses this timely topic and sheds light on how Jesus dealt with the stress of life. As fully God and fully man, He understands what we are going through in times of turbulence. He gets us, and can help us in our pain.

Deep political divisions and echo chambers make communication more difficult and taint what starts as disagreement with hostility and hatred. The opinion of non-Christians toward Christians and vice versa have only worsened in recent years. Yet both those inside and outside the church register concern about the lack of civility in culture today. By contrast, Jesus faced deep anger and mischaracterization by those who hated him, yet he responded by rejecting outrage with love and kindness.

Jesus’s life shows us His intentions for all people. Through His actions, He demonstrated radical inclusion across a variety of backgrounds and cultures. By inviting both Christians and non-Christians to reexamine the story of Jesus, we can also reexamine our relationship with those we might view as our enemies. We can both experience and offer the kind of radical acceptance that Jesus demonstrated, and rebel against the sort of thinking that keeps others distant from us—and God.

Jesus wept. It’s the shortest verse in all of the Bible yet it tells us so much about Jesus. When his good friend Lazarus had been dead for four days, Jesus visited Lazarus’s sisters, Mary and Martha. Upon his arrival, the two women fell down at his feet sobbing. Seeing their sorrow, Jesus’s heart was overcome with grief. He mourned with them. Tears flowed freely down his cheeks as he deeply felt the sadness that we all feel when a loved one dies. In that moment, Jesus showed us how to love through shared experience, by sharing his grief with those who are grieving.

Jesus spent a lot of time around the dinner table. Many of his most frequently quoted messages and standout stories happened while sharing a meal with others. As we looked closer, we noticed that his company around the table was a remarkably diverse cast. He shared meals with outcasts. He spent time with the self-righteous religious elite. He cared for people who had broken every rule and were seen as unclean.

Whether suffering physical or emotional pain, everyone is looking for someone who will understand and share the burden. Modeling the compassion that Jesus demonstrated in His ministry is crucial to dismantling barriers and getting the word out that Jesus is for us because He understands our needs.

Jesus had strained relationships with his loved ones. As he gained popularity and began speaking to larger and larger crowds, his own family “came to take custody of him.” They seemed very concerned with either the direction or scale of Jesus’ ministry. But when they disagreed with him, he didn’t push them away or get defensive. Instead, he looked to restore healthy relationships. In some of his last recorded words, as he died, Jesus asked a close friend to take care of his mother. Jesus understood that relationships are messy. His closest ones, even with family and friends, were too. But he knew people close to him were more important than their differences and pride.

At this joyful time of year, we often feel anything but! Time pressures, money pressures, family pressures — they all can weigh on us and sap our joy. But we don't have to let them get to us. You can find joy even when life is hard. Pastor Jim teaches on this gift we could all use a bit more of.

In a world of conflict, strife, and division, it's hard to find peace in so much turmoil. The good news is, lasting peace is possible if you know where to look for it. Pastor Chuck Schlie teaches on how to find and keep the peace you crave in week two of Christmas Unwrapped.

Where does this hope come from, and how can you feel it when life seems bleak? Pastor Jim reflects on this much-needed gift in the first message of Christmas Unwrapped.

In this last message of our series, Pastor Jim gets into get into the last few paragraphs of this short book—paragraphs in which Jonah was so put off by God's mercy on Ninevah that he wishes death on himself three times. There's a lot of wisdom in these brief paragraphs, and we've included a special presentation of the song "Mercy."

Offended by Mercy: Week 2

Like Jonah, we make poor judges. We cannot truly judge the actions of others on the limited information we have about them. Fortunately, God is the ultimate judge and He gives grace when we withhold it. In this message, we'll learn how to open our hearts to be better stewards of the mercy shown to us that we too often keep from others.

Offended by Mercy: Week 1 | Jonah 1-2

Offended by mercy? That comes from our tendency to want to receive mercy but be reluctant to give it.

Through the story of a man on the run from God, we will deepen our understanding that God’s mercy is for everyone and begin to practice grace in our own lives.

Over 500 years ago, Martin Luther launched a movement that would forever change the church. Today, we have the opportunity to continue his legacy and bring hope to our community through promises found in God's Word. Let's hear these ancient words with modern ears and be awed by their timelessness.

In the Bible, the Tribe of Issachar had a special discernment to read the signs of the times to help Israel make decisions. The Church today needs this discernment so we can fulfill the mission Jesus sets before us. What does the re-FORmation look like in 2022? What does God want the church to be about?

We’re celebrating Messiah’s 35 years with a look back at all God’s done through us and dreaming about the future He has in store for us.

What if the end was just the beginning? It’s a backward notion, but our God defies expectations. The event that changed the world can change us too. On Sunday Pastor Jim concludes our current series with a teaching on how we can fully be alive in Jesus and follow Him as an “all-in” disciple.

If there's one thing we can all agree on, it's that there's a lot we disagree with. We're a very polarized society right now and as a result incivility and contempt for others who don't share our views are on the rise. As Christians, we're called to a higher standard. Will we respond as we should?

"How can I receive eternal life?" A religious leader asked Jesus this question and the answer He gives offers hope to everyone. In this message, we'll learn His answer and how to demonstrate it.

Jesus's ministry impacted so many on a personal level, and Luke undertook to verify and share their stories. These witnesses saw all that He did and said and went on to impact the world because of what they observed. They found out that following Jesus will cost you something, but refusing to follow will cost you more.

How can you be sure that Luke's account is historical and not fiction? There are many contextual clues that point to its historicity. In this message Pastor Chuck Schlie continues Investigating Jesus and considering what it means to truly follow Him.

What makes Luke a reliable narrator of Jesus's life and ministry? This is the question that Pastor Jim considers in the first message of our probing worship series, Investigating Jesus. Luke's account was determined to be a reliable account of the events depicted in the New Testament. In this message, learn why we can trust him and others who recorded the death and resurrection of Jesus.

We've reached the end of our life stage journey. Messiah wraps up this series by looking at the final life stage of retirement. For many, this brings the joy of grandkids, travel, and more leisure. But like any stage, it has its challenges. Hear from Pastor Jim how to thrive in this stage — just like the foursome that inspires the title of this last message.

Married with Children...to Empty Nester. This is one of those transitions that make you stop and think, "Now what?" Last week we learned to be intentional in keeping our relationship with our spouse strong. In this message, Pastor Chuck explores this phase of life (to him, it's personal) and gives us some advice from Scripture about what really matters when it comes to raising your kids to be awesome adults.

Married with Children: If you're in this stage, you're likely in the chaos of a new school year starting. This is a busy time of year, and really, it's just a busy time of life. In this message, Pastor Jim offers some assurance from a surprising source that you're doing just fine by your kids. Moreover, he'll help you navigate this stressful time and remain connected to your spouse—all based on biblical truths.

This week we progress from adolescence to young adulthood. Pastor Jim guides us through the ups and downs of this time with an emphasis on the struggles of Joseph from the Old Testament. All ages can find strength and hope in his story as we look at one fundamental question.

“Middle School was the best time of my life!” Said no one ever. Transitions are hard, and some are harder than others. Messiah’s new worship series is here to help you make the best of whatever age and stage you are in. With help from God’s Word, our pastors are journeying with us through our lives to help you thrive instead of just survive. This first message looks at the transition from childhood to adolescence.

Actually, no. Death does not result from a shortage of cherubic beings in God's celestial kingdom. Our loved ones don't die because God needs to fill an opening. Death is the end of life on earth, but God has answers for death that can be found in His Word. Pastor Jim explores this topic in the last message of the series Lies Christians Believe.

Is God concerned with His creation's happiness? You'd think He would be, but what does His Word say? Pastor Chuck takes on this topic.

Who hasn't heard this one?! It's usually said in defensiveness and — like all cliches — contains a kernel of truth. But does the Bible really reserve judgment for God only? Hear what Pastor Jim has to say about this lie Christians believe in this fourth message of our current series.

"Follow Your Heart" sure sounds innocuous, but dig deeper and you'll find that it sets the stage for so many pitfalls in our journey to follow Jesus. Hear from Pastor Chuck Schlie why this statement — so freely given during graduation season — needs to be reconsidered before being doled out.

"Everything happens for a reason." Have you ever said this to yourself or someone else? There's a lot to unpack in this saying. We mean well, but saying it can have the opposite effect of what we were going for. Instead of helping, it leads to questioning God's goodness...and that's not what we want to do! Pastor Jim tackles this lie in week two of "Lies Christians Believe."

"God won't give me more than I can handle." Oh, really? Many would disagree. In this first message of our new series, Pastor Chuck Schlie examines this lie that Christians believe...and spread. Find out why this simply isn't true, and what does have a basis in God's Word to get you through tough times.

How much do your words and actions matter? More than you think! You can impact someone's life with the smallest gesture. Those daily ripples you leave can have a lasting legacy, so how do you make waves that will be positive? Pastor Chuck explores how in this message.

Have you ever wondered how a ragtag group of early Jesus followers could grow into a worldwide movement of billions? The exponential growth was kicked off by one ripple from one person, proving that small actions have BIG impacts. In this message, Pastor Jim teaches on how the faith of two matriarchs, Lois and Eunice, was influential on the next generation and how our own faith can have the same legacy.

What can you do today that will have a lasting impact on tomorrow? That's the question at the heart of the Making Waves worship series. From its inception, the church was FOR outsiders — and that has impacted us 2,000 years later. This first message examines the question, What can we do to similarly affect the church of the future?

The Gospel According to Johnny Cash | Man Comes Around

One more person.
How incredible would it be to bring just one more person to saving faith in Jesus? Johnny Cash wrestled with this goal and its implications in a song he wrote near the end of his life, "The Man Comes Around."

It's a fact—you can't go through life without experiencing hurt. Sometimes there will be a lot of it. So how does God use our hurts to transform our lives for the better? That's the question that Pastor Jim teaches on using Johnny Cash's cover of "Hurt."

Got regrets? Sure, we all do. Sometimes we mess up so big that we pay a very public penalty. Most times, we're able to keep our sins hidden from the world. Johnny Cash had a lot of sympathy for those whose sins were exposed and scrutinized. He knew those outlaws and outcasts are just like us—sinners who need Jesus.

The Gospel According to Johnny Cash continues with a teaching on "Folsom Prison Blues."

Even when we mess up, we are individuals God loves and made in His image. In His kindness, He offers us grace and forgiveness—and asks us to offer the same to others. It's kindness to others that demonstrates the love that Jesus has for the world. Johnny Cash's song "Give My Love to Rose" wasn't a big hit for him, but its grittiness reveals the Gospel as a message that is meant for everyone.

Johnny Cash sang "I walk the line" as a promise to his wife that he would be faithful to her when he was on the road. It was a promise he would have a hard time keeping. We, too, have a hard time keeping our promises — whether to each other or to God. We sin repeatedly in big and small ways. When we mess up, is it possible to out-sin God's grace? What does God think of us when we break our promises? These questions are considered in the second installment of The Gospel According to Johnny Cash.

Johnny Cash never shied away from sharing his faults or his faith. Because of his raw honesty, we have a figure we can look up to when we feel far from God's grace. Be assured that you are never too far gone! Pastor Jim teaches from the song "Man in Black."

Our journey through Exodus ends at the Tabernacle. God has given His people very specific instructions on how they are to construct this tent, where they are to place certain items, and even what clothes the priests are to wear in it! So, what does this blueprint have to do with us? More importantly, where is Jesus in this "tent of meeting"? Pastor Chuck Schlie wraps it all up.

On Mount Sinai, the former captives in Egypt experience true freedom when God gives them a list of ten rules. That probably sounds backward to us. True freedom is being unyoked from rules, right? Not in God's Kingdom! We may not want to admit it, but we need perimeters. The Ten Commandments given to Moses are the keys to a good life.

Why does God allow bad things to happen to good people? That’s a question that people of faith have wrestled with for thousands of years. Pastor Jim explores this timeless topic in the context of the Exodus account of Moses leading God’s people across the Red Sea. Experience the freedom from past hurts that God wants for you!

Who’s the boss of you? Most of us like to think we’re in charge of ourselves, but that’s just not the reality for those who follow Jesus. We have a boss, and we have rules to follow and forgiveness to seek when we break those rules. God’s the boss of us — and that’s a good thing!

Chances are, God hasn’t appeared to you in a burning bush with instructions on freeing His people from captivity. If God came to you so dramatically with instructions so explicit, you’d surely take note and do as He commands, right?

As it turns out, God does come to you and He has given you instructions. You have a calling, but barriers are keeping you from action. Hear from Pastor Chuck how you can free yourself to answer God’s calling on your life!

When Pharaoh's daughter drew Moses from the Nile River, she provided hope in a hopeless situation. God can work the good in everything, even if we think we know best. He draws us towards Him to work with Him and follow Him from captivity to sin to find freedom in Jesus.

Exodus: Ash Wednesday 2022

God has been so good to us! On Jubilee Sunday, we have an opportunity to come together as a church family to thank Him.

Faith and generosity go hand-in-hand. Jesus said that you can't serve two masters, but often money plays that role in our lives. On Sunday, learn how you can give as God wants you to give. It's a tough exercise in faith, but the rewards are greater than you can imagine!

No, Messiah's not telling you to throw in the towel or resign yourself to failure. Hardly! Giving up for Jesus involves surrendering your life to His will ... and your earthly blessings to Him in thanksgiving. Yep, it's a money talk.

What's the faith of the next generation worth? If you've been around Messiah for awhile, you know the answer is "everything." Let's RAISE UP! our young Jesus-followers.

You don't need to serve others to get to heaven. Salvation is assured through faith in Jesus. But are you truly walking the talk if you don't use your gifts to serve God's church and other people? Pastor Chuck teaches on why service matters in God's Kingdom and how YOU can make a difference right here in your community.

Knowledge and religiosity are not the same as spiritual growth. You can acquire a lot of head knowledge, but it may not always help you “walk the talk.” In this message, Pastor Chuck Schlie gets into what it looks like to not just have faith in Jesus, but to have the faith of Jesus.

After the past two years of upheaval and loss, connection and community is more important than ever. We're learning how to effectively "walk the talk" in worship, and one way to do that is to find a group where you can connect relationally and grow spiritually. Find out more at MessiahStCharles.org/Groups

Do you worship regularly?
As in, every Sunday of the month, all 12 months of the year?
If your answer is "no," you're not alone.
Is that good for our faith walk? If we only worship 1-2 Sundays a month, are we truly putting our faith into action?
In this first message of our new series, Pastor Jim will get into why it's so important to "Show Up" on Sundays regularly.

A recent tradition has made its way into our holiday season – Elf on the Shelf. As Santa's spy, the elf is there to report on bad behavior. He sees what you're up to and judges you for it. Many people see God as similarly inclined to watch us and keep a list of our good and bad deeds. But is that really what God is all about?

It's Christmas FOR St. Charles

God gave us the best gift ever in Jesus, but do we truly appreciate His gift and understand the difference it makes for us and our world? In this message, Pastor Chuck Schlie teaches on the kind of gift-giver that God is and challenges us to be grateful receivers of His grace.

Can Jesus be found in all the busyness of the season? Since coming into our chaos is His mode of redemption, the answer is "YES!" You can find Jesus at a place as unlikely as a mall, and Pastor Chuck explains how in this message.

What does it mean to be a light to the nations? In this message, Pastor Jim will help you see your faith as a light of hope for your neighbor in the second week of Messiah's Christmas Traditions series.

Matthew's Gospel account of Jesus's life and mission begins with a genealogy list of the generations that preceded the Messiah. Pastor Jim teaches on how this list of names sheds light on God's relationship with His creation — and what it means that sinners like us are so well represented in Jesus's family lineage.

Our series wraps up with a teaching from Pastor Jim on what it means to be a Jesus follower and not a rule follower, and why we must be givers and not takers. Imagine the impact we'd have if we truly lived FOR our community!

In the Great Commission, Jesus tells His disciples to "...go and make disciples of all nations" (Matthew 28:16a). Pastor Chuck Schlie will examine this one particular word ("go!") that Jesus uses when He calls us to action. Get challenged, inspired, and fired up as we continue learning how to become the church that God is calling us to be in our community.

What do you picture when you think of "church"? Is it a dynamic group of people who are living and loving as Jesus did — through service to others and radical self-sacrifice? Or do you see a building full of nice people content to worship God on Sunday mornings and end the weekly commitment to Jesus there? Both versions are accurate, but only one is truly biblical. Messiah is being called to become a movement, not an institution. In this message, Chuck Schlie examines the difference between the two and teaches on why the church God is calling us to be is one that loves, learns, and lives for Jesus in a way that truly connects people to their Savior.

For too long, the church has been known for what it's against. We want to be known for what we are for. On this Vision Sunday, Pastor Jim answers an important question: What kind of church is God calling Messiah to become?

When anxious thoughts enter our minds, it's hard to quiet them. Hard, but not impossible. Pastor Chuck Schlie wraps up our Burned Out series with a message on how to C.A.L.M. yourself with the help of scripture. Come learn the words behind the acronym on Sunday and leave armed with a new tool in the fight against anxiety.

Messiah's Community Groups provide a place where we can know and be known by others. In addressing burnout and the anxiety that accompanies it oftentimes, it's important for Christians not to isolate. God made us for community!

Pastor Chuck reveals in his message that weekly worship is his number one burnout buster. Hear why soul rest is so important to beating burnout. Learn from an unhurried Jesus why "work from rest" beats "rest from work" as the better strategy to experience the deep serenity your soul craves.

Does this sound familiar — you're exhausted from the busyness that is your life, but you can't quite figure out what you accomplished today?
There's just so much going on. You're on the verge of burnout (or you're already there...)
Something has to change, but what?
In week two of this series, learn how to resist the busy label and create the kind of balance in life that God wants for you.

Studies show that symptoms of burnout are at alarmingly high levels for both adults and children. This crisis is taking a toll on the emotional, physical, and spiritual health of individuals, couples, and families. God created us to flourish in this life! If we don't develop intentional habits to combat burnout, we continue to drift further into its pit.

Over and over, John addresses us as "children." In his message, Pastor Jim will help you further understand how you and everyone you encounter are loved children of God. This has implications for how you experience your faith. This final study session explores issues of victory in Christ as we learn once more from the apostle who was an eyewitness to the ministry of our one true source of hope—Jesus!

Love God and love others. It's a simple formula, right? This shouldn't be hard, but life is messy. Something as basic as love can get complicated when our busy lives collide with God's commands. In this message, Pastor Chuck Schlie will get into chapter 4 of 1 John and break down what scripture says about giving and receiving love.

Have you given much thought to where your confidence and joy come from? If you're like a lot of people, it likely comes from your accomplishments. The goals you've met and the money you make matter to the world. But what if there's a better way to measure your self-worth? On Sunday, Pastor Chuck will use the third chapter of 1 John to help you see yourself as God sees you. Find out His view of you and how it can affect your view of yourself this Sunday.

As an eyewitness of Jesus's ministry, John has a message for believers. He wrote instructions down in a letter to the church—the Bible book of 1 John. What he had to say to us is as significant now as it was 2000 years ago.

Pastor Jim goes into the second chapter of John's letter to us "dear children." Confronting sin, darkness, and antichrists, John shows us how we ought to respond.

As the last of the disciples, John wrote 1 John to remind Christians how to live, how to love, and how to be the Body of Christ in the world. His letter is a chance for us to learn from the last eyewitness of the teachings, miracles, and resurrection of Jesus. Pastor Chuck Schlie introduces us to this series and this letter to the Church in this first message.

We all have a tendency to ask ourselves the question, Am I enough? We wonder if our accomplishments, gifts, and work mean anything. It's an unfortunate fact that we measure our worth according to the world's measuring stick and not God's. In this message, guest pastor Maxx Fisher asks us to consider our unique talents and abilities in light of the role God wants us to play in advancing the gospel. The truth is, we do have purpose—we just need to view it from the perspective of God's Kingdom, not our own.

Like an athlete, Christians too need training. Living out your faith is not a spectator sport! It requires focus, discipline, and—sometimes—endurance. If you want to grow your relationship with Jesus and win others to the faith, Pastor Jim will give you some great advice from an unlikely source—Chris Pratt's speech from the MTV Generation Awards.

Let's be honest—we all like to win. Sometimes the urge is so strong that we end up doing things we shouldn't to secure a victory. When it comes to spreading the gospel and winning souls for Jesus, how far is too far? Pastor Chuck addresses this question tomorrow in worship.

Pastor Jim is diving (you're liking all these sports analogies, right?) into the Ten Commandments. Too often they get misinterpreted as a list of rules to win God's favor, but that's not their purpose at all! God wants you to flourish in the life He has given you, and these Commandments help you do just that!

If you've ever wondered when you will reach "peak" faith in Jesus, the answer is—never! The faith journey of a Jesus-follower is one of consistent, focused efforts. An athlete doesn't win the gold medal without training, and you can't effectively grow your relationship with God if you're sitting on the sidelines. Get in the game!

How can we honor the history of our nation without overlooking the faults of its ancestors?

For all its greatness, America certainly has had its share of problematic policies and leaders. Sin affects everyone, even our heroes. Romans 3:23 notes, "all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God." But that doesn't mean we are beyond redemption! In a provocative and timely message for the July 4th holiday, Pastor Jim addresses a very modern topic through the story of a greatly admired, though all too human, historic figure — George Washington.

Mother Teresa is world-renowned for her charity work. Her intense dedication to the poor and marginalized was a result of her deep faith. From her example, we can find ways that faith and real life intersect for the benefit of others. Come and learn from this inspiring woman how you too can greatly impact the world with simple acts of love.

What does love require of me when I face injustice in the world? How did Jesus defeat evil? Through the example of Jackie Robinson, Pastor Jim will teach on how a Jesus follower will want to respond to issues of racial divides and inequity in our society.

Perhaps one of the most moving stories we'll look at in the Biography series is that of Dietrich Bonhoeffer. Bonhoeffer was a real-life superhero who tried to take down Hitler and lost his life as a result. But there is inspiration to be found in his story, and Pastor Chuck will explain why Bonhoeffer is to be celebrated for his faith — not pitied for his death.

Meet Susanna Wesley, the would-be "19 Kids and Counting" star of the early 18th century (if reality t.v. was a thing back then). This mom had (you guessed it) 19 kids. As was the case back then, many of them died in infancy. Her life was not an easy one, but her faith was constant and her influence on the faith of her children was particularly profound and still reverberates today.

Have you ever stood for something you believed in and suffered ridicule as a result? Eric Liddell did. He was favored to win a gold medal in the Olympics, but his conviction not to compete on a Sunday left his country stunned and angry. He gave up earthly glory to obey God. Join us in worship to hear this compelling story of courage and confidence in the face of intense opposition.

You've likely heard of Joan of Arc, but do you know her story? It's one of faith, determination, and unwavering trust and devotion to God. The courage with which Joan acts when she receives messages from God through visions and voices has implications for our faith today. We know God's will for our lives, but do we always live up to it? How can following Joan's example better prepare us for a life more fully devoted to our Savior?

Do you ever give much thought to how God sees you? In His eyes, you're a person to be loved — it's our intrinsic value as beings made in God's image. Pastor Chuck Schlie begins our new worship series Biography with a look at the historical figure Pope John Paul II and the mark he left on our world. There was something in JPII that drew others to him—and to Jesus—that Pastor Chuck explores in this message.

In this final message from our series on prayer, we're getting more personal with Jesus and answering the question, What did Jesus Pray For? Our Savior had very specific plans for His mission, His friends, and His disciples (and that included us). On Sunday, learn what and who Jesus prayed for when He was in conversation with His Father before His crucifixion.

Every week in worship we recite the Lord's Prayer. When Jesus's disciples asked Him how they should pray, this is the prayer He gave them. It's a great model for your prayer life. Pastor Chuck Schlie shows you how to incorporate its verses into your personal prayers and better understand why Jesus taught His followers to pray in this way.

God knows what we need before we do. So why do we need to pray? How can it make any difference? If you've ever had those questions, you're not alone. Prayer all comes down to connection. It's not about appeasing God so He'll give you what you want. It's so much more! It's about establishing a relationship with our Creator. Learn more about making your relationship with God real and personal in this message from Pastor Chuck Schlie.

Prayer – are you doing it right? Maybe it sounds odd that something as personal as prayer can be done incorrectly, but the Bible does give us some "do's and dont's" when it comes to our prayer life. Pastor Jim will get into them tomorrow in the first message of our new series, Check Your Connection. This series will help you learn to pray and challenge your current prayer practices. In this first message, our pastor answers the most Google'd spiritual question: How do I pray?

In the days after Jesus's crucifixion, the disappointment and confusion among His followers were palpable. The One who was to save them has died. He is not "who" they thought Him to be. And they wonder why they put their faith in Him. Can you relate? The problems in our lives so often have us wondering why we choose to trust and believe in God. On Sunday, Pastor Chuck relates the events after the resurrection to how and why our faith should always be in Jesus — even when He doesn't always reveal His plans and purposes to us in the way we think He should.

The resurrection of Jesus changes EVERYTHING. When the stones rolled away to reveal the empty tomb, our lives changed forever. We have life in His name!

What does a punk band from the '90s have to do with Easter? Pastor Chuck Schlie will relate the two this Sunday in the second week of Mixtape: The Soundtrack of Your Life. Holy Week begins with Palm Sunday, the day of Jesus's triumphal entrance into Jerusalem. From there, Jesus's last week of His earthly ministry is filled with anguish, betrayal, accusation, and ultimately, crucifixion. On Sunday, we set the scene for the events that end with Jesus hanging from a cross. But what seems so final is just the beginning of the greatest comeback in history.

Jesus spoke these words to His followers during His ministry on earth: I am the Way, the Truth, and The Life (John 14:6). Though they were directed at just a few people, they are meant for everyone to hear and believe. Through His death on the cross, Jesus offers salvation to you too! In this message from Mixtape, find out how Jesus's resurrection of Lazarus foreshadows His own battle with death and gives life to U2.

Defying Gravity: The Great Adventure (Week 3)

It’s one of the most celebratory times of the year here at Messiah—Jubilee Sunday. It’s a day set aside to rejoice in all that God has done for us and offer our thanks through gifts above and beyond our tithes and offerings. Pastor Chuck hits on some highlights of this most unusual year and encourages you in your faith walk as you become a more committed follower of Jesus.

It’s through the free gift of God’s grace that we are able to live as redeemed sinners. Jesus bore the punishment for our sins, and for His sacrifice, we give thanks in worship.

Giving feels good. A church of generous givers is a church that can fulfill the Great Commission to "go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit" (Matthew 28:19). What an incredible legacy that is!

Pastor Jim teaches on how generosity blesses our community and our families. There's so much promise in store for us when we give God's way!

Giving generously doesn't necessarily come easily to us. There's fear that weighs us down. Logic that us tells our checking account balance doesn't leave room for generosity. And a vast world of material goods competing for our attention (and dollars). Giving can often be an afterthought or something we will consider in the future when our financial circumstances change for the better.

But what if that's the wrong approach? What if you decided not to wait around for a future that might not ever come and instead decide to be generous right now? The Bible has a lot to say about generosity, and (spoiler alert) it's all about giving in the present tense. Pastor Chuck begins this new series with a message all about embracing the joy that comes from living a life of generosity.

Marriage Matters wraps up with a message all about maintaining friendship in your marriage. If you're single, Pastor Chuck has a lot of advice for you on what to look for in a potential spouse – and it's not what you might think! Watch and learn why the most important day of your marriage is your last day together, and how you can make it count right now.

How does a "submission competition" lead to a happy marriage? What language do you use to say "I love you" — without words? Why is Pastor Chuck assigning us homework? And what are all those secrets to a great marriage he promised to reveal??? Find out in this special Valentine's Day message.

What happens when your marriage gets weighed down by the demands of life — when the honeymoon is well and truly over, reality sets in, and you wonder if you will ever get back "that loving feeling"? It's a problem most couples will encounter, and how you handle it will determine if your marriage can thrive or merely survive. Pastor Chuck Schlie reminds us about the "Power of Promise" and encourages a recommitment to the pledge you made on your wedding day.

Marriage Matters begins with a message on putting "First Things First." Pastor Chuck Schlie shows us how God's Word is a great guidebook for marriage — starting with what to look for in a spouse if you're unmarried, and how to prioritize relationships in your life if you are.

Messiah wraps up I'm Broken/I'm OK with a message on how to "Surrender Stronger." Our video testimony this week is from a couple who learned to seek God's will for their lives and their relationship. This Sunday, learn more about the kintsugi bowl that Pastor Jim has been using as a visual metaphor for this series. It's an amazing story of God's grace and our resilience when it comes to healing the brokenness in our lives.

From its beginning, Christianity has been all about community. The early followers of Jesus traveled together, dined together, and worshiped together. We were called to be in community with one another. In worship on Sunday, Pastor Jim will explain why God designed us for community and how togetherness can help heal our brokenness. We'll also learn how Community Groups at Messiah will connect you relationally so you can grow spiritually.

In the first week of our new series, Pastor Jim addressed the truth that in this life we will have troubles, but there are ways we can deal with them that are healthy and God-pleasing. In this message, Pastor Jim expands on the themes of struggle and invites us to consider the question, How do we fight when life is hard? One way is to confront our problems and wrestle with them now, not later.

Let's face it — we all have problems. Some are big. Some are small. But everyone has them and everyone needs to know how to deal with them, Christ-followers included. The Bible actually has quite a lot to say about humanity's brokenness. It was the reason Jesus came to live among us! But that doesn't stop us from asking some big questions:

WHY is life so full of struggles, and HOW am I supposed to react to them?
What would my life be like if I didn't let my struggles stop me?

Pastor Jim Mueller addresses these questions and gives you some practical advice on how to approach your problems. There is a way to "struggle well" and you'll learn more about how to do so.

This past year was certainly one in which fear made its way into our lives again and again. As we look forward to the hope and promises of a new year, we should also place our trust in the timeless message of the Gospel. Throughout history — and in spite of wars, pandemics, and natural disasters — God's presence is always within reach. Tomorrow in worship, Pastor Chuck Schlie teaches us how to put the angels' words to the shepherds ("Fear not") into practice in our own lives using the Christmas classic "A Charlie Brown Christmas."

As the classic Christmas song exclaims, "It's the most wonderful time of the year!" Christmas really is a fun and festive escape from the everyday. For kids especially, it's a time of magic and anticipation. For parents and grandparents, it's a chance to recreate special memories and start new family traditions. For Christ-followers, it's also a chance to reflect on the miracle of His birth and earthly mission. Unfortunately, it's that last part that tends to get side-lined at this time of year. In this message, Pastor Jim uses the movie Home Alone to remind us to put some focus on making sure our Christmas has spiritual depth in the midst of all the joyous celebrating.

Life can be very messy. We all struggle with sin and are held captive to its harmful effects. Fear, loneliness, and hopelessness can create a hole from which we can't emerge on our own. Like any hostage, we need a rescuer! Jesus came to earth to set us free, and doing so required a mission more dangerous and heroic than His followers could ever imagine. In this message, learn what enables you to live free in Christ in the context of the Christmas (or not?) movie Die Hard.

Christmas seems to have two versions — the sacred and the secular. We anticipate the coming of our Savior while also enjoying the seasonal festivities that have little to do with our Lord's birth. There's nothing wrong with embracing all the traditions of this time of year. It does, however, bring up a question: Is Christmas too steeped in lore and myth to really be taken seriously? Has it become secularized beyond recognition? Pastor Jim tackles these issues in our Christmas at the Movies series using the family holiday classic Elf.

The season of Advent is the time in the church year when our thoughts turn to Christ's coming — both on Christmas Day and His return on Judgment Day. In his message, Pastor Chuck Schlie looks at a character in National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation who is similar to a biblical character who is preparing the way for Christ.

Messiah is committed to the idea that the Faith of the Next Generation Matters NOW. Pastor Jim explains why it's one of Messiah's core values, and what we are doing to ensure our faith gets passed down to the generations that come after us.

The Bible is full of stories of Jesus ministering to the practical needs of the people He encountered during His time on earth. Though our eternal salvation is His ultimate aim, He clearly demonstrates that God cares about what goes on in our day-to-day lives. In this message Pastor Jim explores what it looks like where Faith & Real Life Intersect.

When Jesus walked the earth, He had a mission that His followers didn't always understand. His ministry was marked by service and (ultimately) sacrifice. He sought out opportunities to help those who needed Him and asked His disciples to do the same. As His followers today, we are also urged to do as He did. We are to Love Him through service to others. It's the Jesus Way. If you've been feeling that pull to service, we're making it easy to get involved. On Sunday our message topic is Saved People Serve People. We'll give you reasons why service helps build your faith and show you how easy it is to volunteer at Messiah and be a part of our mission. Because service is what we do. This is Us.

As the Church, we have an important job to do, and the stakes are high. So many of our neighbors aren't connected to Jesus. The reasons are many, and it's up to US to find them and meet them where they're at. Pastor Jim begins our new worship series "This is Us" with the topic 'Found People Find People.'

The church is full of sinners—in its worshipers and its leaders. All of us fall short of God's standards on a regular basis. We sin, we seek forgiveness (or we don't, and thereby commit more sin!), and we begin the cycle all over again. Why, then, did God create such an imperfect institution to deliver His perfect message? That's an excellent question and one we consider as we wrap up "Start Here: Building a Relationship with Jesus." In this message, find out why the church is important—to Jesus and your faith.

To be sanctified means to be set apart. But not in a way that elevates you above others. Instead, it's a way for Jesus's light and love to shine through you so that others can see Him. Think of this line from a song you've likely heard before: "They'll know we are Christians by our love." If we live like Christ wants us to live, His love radiates and the Gospel spreads.

In this message we consider an important question..."How Should I Live?" Pastor Jim will be talking prayer, service, giving, and other acts that sanctify us. Sanctification is putting faith into action—it's a big step in building your relationship with Jesus.

Start Here: Why Should I Care?

It's true—if we don't see something's usefulness, it's easy to feel indifferent toward it. When you think of the Ten Commandments, you might picture old stone tablets with words like "Thou shalt not" written on them and wonder what coveting a donkey has to do with your life today.  Pastor Chuck teaches how these commandments from God can bring you into closer relationship with Him and others. With proper use, they are guidelines for a good life.

What's for dinner? 
Did I remember to pay the water bill?
What time is Aiden's soccer match tomorrow? 
Where will I spend eternity? 

Our minds are full of questions as we go about our day-to-day lives. Our eternal salvation probably isn't a huge concern on a typical day. But we do have thoughts that creep into our minds and we wonder if we're on the right track, spiritually speaking. 
Sometimes it's helpful to just go back to basics. In this message we're looking at confession, forgiveness, and baptism to answer the question "How Am I Saved?" We'll help you put your mind at ease when those questions of eternity do pop up at 3 a.m.

God reveals Himself in the Trinity, and the Trinity is explained in the Christian Church's historic creeds. Pastor Chuck Schlie looks at the Apostle's Creed in more depth to better answer a question that is so foundational to our faith—"Who is God?" If you've ever struggled to explain just who God is and why we recite creeds as a congregation, watch the first part of Start Here: Building a Relationship with Jesus.

It's a contentious time in our country. There's an important election coming up, and there are opinions on it everywhere you turn. You may find yourself wondering, how should a follower of Christ respond? This timely and special message from Pastor Jim on "Religion & Politics" will encourage us to stand united in a divisive season—regardless of political party affiliations.

Your choice for the Action category, Sieged!, tells the story of the Battle of Jericho. In it, we meet a ragtag group of God's people who are reluctant to follow the instructions they've been given to take the town of Jericho from its child-sacrificing, idol-worshiping occupants. The Israelites are scared. They know they don't stand a chance against these fierce, bloodthirsty people. Or do they?

Your choice for the Drama category, Unfaithful: A Love Story, is the message topic in the second installment of Binge Worthy. In this story, we meet Hosea and his unfaithful wife Gomer. Despite Gomer's numerous infidelities and betrayals, Hosea doesn't stop loving her and doesn't give up on their relationship. Will his love be enough to save their marriage? What does their story reveal about God's emotions?

This Sunday we're going deep into scripture to examine why this text of the woman caught in adultery resonates so strongly with us. Sin is front and center in this tale, but Jesus deftly turns the tables on the morality mob in a way they never expected.

We're circling back to the Easter story to look at the disciple Peter. At Jesus's crucifixion, Peter fell far. He promised Jesus he would not leave His side. But when the authorities closed in on Jesus, Peter denied Him three times. Fortunately, we worship a God of love and forgiveness, and Peter's fall from grace was temporary. As we wrap up this series, Peter's story is our story and his Comeback is the ultimate example that with God, It's Never Too Late, and You're Never Too Far.

You’ve likely heard the Parable of the Prodigal Son before—younger son takes his inheritance and sqaunders it. Nevertheless, his father welcomes him back home and celebrates his return. The older son is bitter and refuses to join the party. Tomorrow, hear Pastor Jim present this story in a way you may not have heard before.

Our capacity for sin is great, which makes our need for a Savior even greater. Fortunately, we worship a God who wants to show mercy to His creation. You may recall the story of Jonah in the belly of a whale. If you think it's just about a big fish, we invite you to view this message. The story of Jonah is all about going "From Judgment to Compassion," and Pastor Chuck will explain how.

Today we go “From Defeat to Victory” in a story from the Bible that features the Old Testament prophet Deborah.

In the face of setbacks, how do you keep from giving up? When it feels like nothing is going right, can you possibly look forward to anything? The Bible says, YES! There are so many stories of people facing tremendous challenges. In this message, Pastor Jim is looking at Moses and his efforts to bring his people out of slavery in Egypt and back to their homeland. With God, there's always hope for a comeback!

Our new worship series "The Comeback" begins with a message all about moving on from hurt to hope. We know it's not an easy feat, and we aren't promising you simple answers. But what we can offer is a vision for suffering that connects you to your Savior Jesus. The Bible is full of people in desperate situations. Learn from one of them how God takes you "From Hurt to Hope."

"Oh, the Places You'll Go!" comes to an end this Sunday with a prophecy from Elisha for a starving city under siege that God will supply them with food. It's a bold promise, and one that an officer of the king openly rejects. But through some leperous outcasts, good news reaches the palace that God has indeed provided for the people in a most miraculous way. On Sunday, learn what this Old Testament miracle has to say to us today about sharing the hope of Jesus with the world.

Leprosy was once a feared disease that had no cure. Naaman, a general in the Syrian army, has leprosy, and he thinks his money and power can save him. But in God's Kingdom, it doesn't work like that. Naaman needs to humble himself and trust in the true God before he can be healed—physically and spiritually.

Our Senior Pastor Jim Mueller addressed racism during a recent worship service. You can view his words to out community on the video below.

Though we don't like to admit it, our material goods can play quite a large role in our lives. As we will see in the story of King Ahab and his neighbor's vineyard, just because we possess a lot does not mean that we don't want to possess more. It's trap we are in, and it does affect our lives negatively. On Sunday, learn how you can fight the urge to acquire more and why it's so necessary to our well-being to look beyond ourselves to fully appreciate God's gift to all of us of His Son.

We go deep into a cave where the prophet Elijah is hiding out from King Ahab. He's all alone and doesn't see an end to the darkness—both literal and metaphorical—that's all around him. Come "Explore a Cave" with Messiah and see how God rescues His prophet (and His people) from the gloom we can sometimes find ourselves in.

The first message of our summer worship series, "Oh, the Places You'll Go!" begins with an epic showdown on Mount Carmel. The Prophet Elijah confronts the false prophets of Baal with an awesome demonstration of God's power. Hear how it all goes down and how this tale relates to your own journey in life. Pastor Jim begins our new message series with "Up on a Mountain."

Pastor Jim Mueller closes out our "Punch Fear in the Face" series with a message on the fear of Running Out of your resources. He shows us that faith in Jesus means we never have to fear not having enough.

We're not comfortable with failure. We certainly don't want others to know how we fall short. We really only want to disclose our failures in the context of how they led to our successes. In the world's view, your failure is tied up to your self-worth. In God's view, your failures are meaningless. They're an insignificant part of your story. In this message, learn to see yourself as God sees you—a creation made in His own image who will always live under His grace and acceptance.

Pastor Jim Mueller gives a Mother's Day message that revolves around the accounts of the raising of Jairus's daughter and the woman who bled for 12 years, as told in Mark 5. Through these stories, we learn to trust God with our circumstances and not fret so much over our kids' future.

Death is a part of life. That doesn't make it any less scary. Hear Pastor Chuck Schlie confront the fear of death and punch it in the face. You may never look at it the same way again.

Got anxiety? You're not alone, and your reaction to current events is totally normal. We're bored, lonely, stir-crazy, and primed for fear taking over. Our new message series confronts our modern day fears and anxieties and applies some Biblical wisdom on combating them. Our first message in this series deals with the familiar feeling of "Being Locked In."

Messiah celebrates our Savior's victory over sin, death, and the devil! Pastor Chuck Schlie leads us through some important details in John's Gospel account of the Resurrection that are hidden in plain sight!

Suffering. That word has been redefined in recent weeks. Before the joy of Easter, we must journey through the suffering of Good Friday.

It happened. We remember. The great sacrifice begins with Maundy Thursday worship.

On Palm Sunday, Jesus makes a triumphal entrance into Jerusalem. On this first day of Holy Week, Pastor Jim Mueller considers how Jesus viewed the city, knowing that the cheers would turn to scorn later that week.

Pastor Jim Mueller continues "Stranger Things" with a message on demon possession. It's a fascinating and scary topic, but our message is rooted in the hope that is found in Jesus.

Do current events have you worried? Do you find yourself checking the news more often than you should? if you’re stressed and anxious right now, the devil couldn’t be happier. He revels in misfortune, and we certainly have our share of it on this side of heaven. Our “Stranger Things” message series is looking at the devil and how he works. This message deals with the issues of suffering and affliction as told through the story of Job.

The devil knows what he needs to do to separate you from God. You heard the statistic that 35% of Christians don't believe he exists. He is not only real; he is powerful and you're wearing a target. Our “Stranger Things” message series is exposing his tactics and arming you for the fight. Don't be complacent—there is a battle, and you're in it. Series begins with a look at how Satan uses Temptation against God's people. We'll expose his methods and learn from our Savior how to effectively fight them.

It's a day of celebration! We wrapped up "In God We Trust" with our annual Jubilee Sunday celebration in praise of all of God's blessings. Watch and learn how to build a trusting relationship with God.

With all this talk of money, you might be experiencing some anxiety around the topic. Perhaps you're wondering how you can give first fruit gifts and still be financially OK. We get it! This Sunday's message will help alleviate some of your questions and show you that generosity is possible, no matter your circumstances.

Though it's easy to look around and think that you aren't any better off—and maybe even worse—than your neighbor, you can't give in to that scarcity mentality. God has blessed us abundantly here in St. Charles, and we want to help you fight the mindset that you need more than what you have.

Every dollar in our pocket is printed with a simple slogan—”In God We Trust.” Yet too often our trust is placed in anything but God. We place our faith in money, possessions, health, and security, and fear not having enough of what we need. This mindset begs the question, Is God abundant, or are His resources limited? We consider this question today in worship.

TODAY’S MESSAGE What’s God’s image of His Church? Does it align with our image of it? If not, what can we do about it? Our current message series concludes today with an examination of what God’s image for His church looks like. Do your intentions line up with God’s?

Who are you? Beyond your name, occupation, and family position, you're someone the Bible calls "fearfully and wonderfully made." So what does that mean? Believe it or not, you're God's image-bearer, and that means a lot. So while you may be a person who sins daily and messes things up on the regular, you're still a valuable part of God's kingdom. You’ll learn from our special guest Carl just who God thinks you are.

Have you given much thought to your legacy? Have you assessed your life and thought about the impact that you have had on others? You no doubt hope the impressions you’ve left are positive ones. We all strive to be a blessing to our friends and family in our words and deeds. Though important, that’s just one aspect of our legacy. On the practical side, have you ever considered how your earthly treasures will be distributed when you die? Or what sort of spiritual heritage you will have left your family? These are weighty questions, and we will help you answer them today as we lead you to (re)Focus your legacy for the benefit of others.

You've heard it said that "Attitude is everything."  Like all clichés, there's truth to the saying.  Through the story of Joseph and his slavery in Egypt, we look at how we can be grateful to God for all that He does for us--even in difficult circumstances.

Scripture: Acts 10:9-16 | Matthew 9:9-13.  On Sunday our message taught us how to live a more fulfilling life by refocusing your priorities, relationships, attitude, and legacy.  We looked at relationships and invite you to join or recommit to a Community Group at messiah in this new year.

When life doesn't go our way we often respond with anger, doubt, or disappointment, and the Christmas season can intensify these emotions. But through the story of the first Christmas, we see God bringing hope in difficult circumstances.  The love of God and the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus bring hope to everyone.

The Christmas celebration began over 2000 years ago when the Creator of heaven and earth stepped into His creation - as a baby!  He did this because He loves you and wants to restore His relationship with you.  Truly this is good news of great joy!  Our pray is that you will be filled with true HOPE and PEACE today as we are reminded that Christmas changes everything.

In today's message, we hear how to stay hopeful when your circumstances in life are not what you'd thought they'd be, and not at all what you envisioned for yourself.  There is HOPE when your plans are disrupted if you trust that God has everything under control.
