Ezekiel 38 is a little bit like reading a weather report. Imagine getting the bulletin, looking to the horizon and seeing the storm clouds you just read about! We don’t know everything, but there is enough in this passage that we should take heed and pay attention to the coming “Gog Magog War.” Chuck wasn’t able to make it the Buckwheat 100 GNCC, so this was recorded from home and is one more piece of the Prophecy Puzzle the church at GNCC has been studying all year.

Gog Magog War

Pre-trib, post-trib, mid-trib…all these weird names for when the rapture MIGHT happen! And what is the rapture, anyway? And “Tribulation?!” Lots to cover! Chuck puts all this in its proper, Biblical context at the Burr Oak GNCC Chapel service. The discussion revolves around what we do know and concludes with some interesting observations. 

The Rapture

Christians have been persecuted and killed since the 1st Century. Why? “Love your enemies, pray for those who persecute you.” Doesn’t seem too threatening! Yet, at the core, God’s principals are so counter-cultural they are indeed revolutionary! His Word - The Bible, has shaped and changed my perspective, outlook and ultimately my life. We go through a few examples at The Mountaineer GNCC in Beckley, WV. 

Counter Cultural

Jesus warned that in the last days, there would be a falling away. We are certainnly seeing that in modern times. But what makes a person who professes Jesus is Lord to NOT maintain that core belief? That is the question we walked through atop beautiful Snowshoe Mountain in June, 2021. 

The Con

Sometimes it is the backstory that makes the mainstory so incredible! Samuel was the greatest judge and prophet to ever guide ancient Israel. But he should not have been! His backstory should have ruined him. Yet God...God had a plan and a purpose! Samuel&apos;s mother obediently delivered him into that purpose and the rest is history. This service was the very first GNCC Church Baby Dedication. 

The Backstory

John the Baptizer came on the scene baptising people for "repentance and forgiveness of sins." Then Jesus came along and wanted John to baptize him. Yet, Jesus had never sinned! So why did he need to be baptized? Afterward, he was led into thee wilderness to be tempted by Satan. Is there a correlation? We discuss these very questions in this chapel service; recorded live at the John Penton GNCC. A baptism follows! 

John Penton GNCC Baptism 2021

Jesus talked about the  End Times, Abomination of Desolation, putting oil in the lamp...unusual subjects! Yet, there is meaning and we are seeing "signs of the times" today. We should understand what He was talking about - and so this episode digs into Matthew 24 and Luke 21. Chuck shares his personal thoughts on the subjects and closes out with undisputable, irrefutable Truth. 

Oil in the Lamp

During this season, we’ve been studying some prophecies in the Old Testament and seeing how they came true. But what about future things yet to happen? When will the end actually come? Jesus’ disciples asked that very question. Although Matthew 24 can be confusing (some signs were related to AD70), there is ONE sign Jesus pointed out that has never happened but is happening now! This was an interesting discussion from the Tiger Run GNCC 2021.

And Then the End Will Come

"And he said to me, &apos;Son of man, can these bones live?&apos; And I answered, "O LORD God, you know.&apos;" ~Ezekiel 37:3We looked at this passage at the Camp Coker Bullet GNCC. It&apos;s a fascinating passage! Even more so when you understand the context, what it means and how it came true! There is only one true God and he proves it time and again...

Dry Bones

Chapel service from Washington, GA - The General GNCC. What do King Solomon, Hezekiah, Josiah, Abraham Lincoln, Ronald Reagan and the Civil War have in common? Tune in and find out! God has been faithful through the ages and His purposes prevail! 

Leftover Stew

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&apos;s given indications in modern times as well. America isn&apos;t paying attention, but as Christians, we need to know the signs of the times. And take heart! God&apos;s purposes always prevail! 

Part 2: Demise of America

2021 GNCC Chapel Round 1 Times are changing but God isn&apos;t! Malachi states, "I the LORD do not change." What God did in history gives us a clue for what he is doing now. This is Part 1 of a two part series: "The demise of Israel/The demise of America." The Old Testament is HUGELY relevant to modern times. God loves us enough to plainly state the truth! Tune in and take heart. 

Part 1: The Demise of Israel

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! 

Heaven

The conclusion of a 13 part series - learning the Story of God as written in the Bible! Special guest, 2x World Grand Prix Champion, Trampas Parker, shares his story at the beginning and offers a powerful conclusion at the end of the service. Team Faith&apos;s Chuck Lemaster takes the audience through some prophecy and explains that "What God said He would do, He did! What God says He has yet to do, He will!" Now that 13 messages have taken the audience through the Bible, the listener now has the framework for how to read the Bible. If anyone needs their own coy of the Word of God, they can reach Chuck at chuck@teamfaith.com. 

13. The Story Continues

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&apos;s message, Team Faith&apos;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&apos;s...Peter! The Apostle who denied he even knew Jesus. Yet, God&apos;s forgiveness covers even that and the game-plan is still on - even today! 

12. The Rock

Recorded live from various Arenacross and GNCC races around the country - Team Faith Pit Pastors Chuck Lemaster and Brian O'Rourke share God's Word with racers, mechanics and crew. Over the years, this has developed into several "church" congregations. Welcome to the Team Faith Podcast!
