Win | Matt. 7:15-23 The success or failure of a baseball team is not measured just by ACTIVITY but by achieving the GOAL - having the most players cross home plate. Did you catch that principle? Success is not measured by activity but by achieving the win. If your team’s players don’t cross home plate it doesn’t matter how beautifully the individual players played, or how hard the team worked, or how great the camaraderie on the field. Everything is measured in light of the win. So what is OUR win? What is our win here at Chestnut Street Baptist Church? How do we know we’ve been successful? Where is our home plate? What scoreboard should we be looking at to determine whether or not we’ve won? Because there is a difference between a lot of activity – no matter how good that activity is - and achieving a win. What is OUR win? The win in light of which all our other activities might be MEASURED and towards which all of our activities should MOVE us? | 11/9/10 | Free | View In iTunes |

Essential | 1 Corinthians 12:21; Ephesians 4:11-16 You know the feeling, you get to the end of the driveway, or the end of your street and suddenly realize you left your cell phone in the house. So what do you do? You stop the car, turn around, run in the house and get it. Now the funny thing is that all of us just a few short years ago used to drive EVERYWHERE without a cell phone. BUT NOW? Now we can’t even run to the corner store to pick up a gallon of milk without knowing our cell phone is in the car with us in case of an emergency. What happened? Our cell phone has become ESSENTIAL to us - something we just can’t imagine being without! These things are essential to us. So why is it that church so non-essential to so many? For those who profess to be Christians, most of them count their cell phones as ESSENTIAL and yet, many of those same people treat church as NON-ESSENTIAL. Why? Because my friends, things that are USEFUL and HELPFUL we keep, we seek, we inconvenience ourselves to have in our lives. But for many church has not shown itself useful or helpful and thus has become non-essential. How might WE become an essential church? | 11/9/10 | Free | View In iTunes |

How Much is Jesus Worth? | Matthew 26:1-16 When I was home sick from school as a kid, I used to love watching the Price is Right. As most of you know, each round of the show begins with four contestants place a single bid on an initial prize and the player who bids closest to the product's actual retail price without going over both wins the prize and then gets to play one of several “Pricing Games” for even bigger and more substantial prizes. My favorite strategy is the ONE DOLLAR BID. If you are the fourth bidder and you think EVERYONE else has overbid, all you need to do is bid ONE DOLLAR and since you’re the only one who didn’t go over YOU WIN! You know, that opening competition reminds me of the scene that we’re about to study today. We have a number of contestants playing today’s game and all of them are bidding on how much Jesus is worth. Many of them seem to be crying out 'One Dollar!' because they believe the other contestants have grossly overbid. What do their bids and their reactions to the bids of the other constants reveal about them? And most importantly, what will YOUR bid reveal about YOU and YOUR understanding of just how much Jesus is worth? | 11/9/10 | Free | View In iTunes |

Leaders Worth Following (part 2) - Deacons | 11/09/2008 – 1 Timothy 3:8-16 – 'Leaders Worth Following - Deacons (part 2) - Deacons.' From the series: 'Watch Your Step: A Study through First Timothy.' In the New Testament - and here in the letter of 1 Timothy - we see alongside the Elder another official role of church leadership. A role of equal importance but different function - the role of Deacon. The Greek diakonos that we translate here as Deacon is translated elsewhere in the New Testament literally as servant or minister. So who are these servant leaders? What is their role in the church? How do they function alongside the elders? And most personally, how should they all function today in 2008, here at Chestnut Street Baptist Church? | 11/8/08 | Free | View In iTunes |

The Advent of Hope | How might we make our celebration of Christmas this year about the ADVENT OF HOPE instead of the ACCUMULATION of STUFF? | 12/31/69 | Free | View In iTunes |

If you love only those who love you, what reward will you get? | The Sermon on the Mount in many ways serves as a corrective to the interpretation and application of the law and prophets by the Pharisees. What had they done? In the words of theologian John Stott: “[The Pharisees] made the law’s demands less demanding and the law’s permissions more permissive.” So we come to the question that Jesus’ asks today: 'If you love only those who love you, what reward will you get?' And we find that the demands of the law have been made less demanding. So Jesus' word to us serves as a powerful corrective to our own selfish tendencies. | 12/31/69 | Free | View In iTunes |

Erase to Race | Regret. We look back on the missed opportunities for good that we should have taken, we look back on those opportunities for not so good that we just shouldn’t have taken, and we mourn. We assess this time that we might never reclaim with a sense of sadness and we’re left asking, “What do I do with these regrets?” There is good news. | 12/31/69 | Free | View In iTunes |

The Advent of Peace | The Prince of Peace who entered our world came not just to offer us a temporary peace, not just the short-term absence of trouble, but something more enduring. The Christ child offers a peace that is not dependent upon people, possession, or circumstance. Rather a peace that heals our brokenness and endures in the face of all circumstances. | 12/31/69 | Free | View In iTunes |

Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to your life? | ONLY 40 Days until Christmas! JUST 11 Days until Thanksgiving! Do you feel the anxiety rising? Worry is an uninvited guest in most of our lives. What worry really is, is a low grade FEAR. We FEAR that something will or will not happen - whether it is a promotion, a raise, an award, an invitation, a proposal, a closing, a deal, an affirmation. OR we fear that we will or will not have something we want or need - whether is money, food, clothing, health, respect, praise, relationship, love. Our fear of not having or of losing makes us afraid Our WORRY always leads directly to what we VALUE most. So today, Jesus invites us to examine our worries, our fear, and the things that we value as he asks us: “Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life?” | 12/31/69 | Free | View In iTunes |

Where are the other nine? | We have many excuses for NOT thanking God, but many MORE reasons TO thank Him. Psalm 107:1:“Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good; his love endures forever.” | 12/31/69 | Free | View In iTunes |

The Advent of Joy | My friends, we must never confuse Happiness and Joy. The Christ child was born at Christmas not to bring us Happiness, but Joy. Jesus never promised you and I HAPPINESS - good fortune, pleasure, contentment. The baby born at Christmas didn’t come to offer you and I the “good life” - free from suffering, struggle, pain. He came to bring us joy. And what kind of joy is this that He brought? | 12/31/69 | Free | View In iTunes |

The Advent of Love | What love does the Christ child offer us at Christmas? Scholar Joseph Exell wrote, 'It is not strange that God loves loveliness. We do that. But who of us loves that which is unlovely? This is what God does.' God loves the unlovely. THIS is the love that came the first Christmas. And this love for the unlovely should now come to us and through us every day of our lives. | 12/31/69 | Free | View In iTunes |
