- #LIVING According To The Guy Who Invented It
“My message and my preaching were not with wise and persuasive words, but with a demonstration of the Spirit’s power, so that your faith might not rest on men’s wisdom, but on God’s power.” (1 Corinthians 2:4-5)
CHESAPEAKE TEACHING SERIES
#LIVING
According To The Guy Who Invented It
Beginning April 14, 2012
#LIVING: THE WAY WE RUN
Date: September 29 & 30, 2012
Teacher: Brian Weiler, Special Guest Speaker
Living for Christ is not a short-term, one time thing. It’s a lifetime commitment. It is as Paul called it, “the long run.” Reaching the finish line of life, whenever that may be, as “one who would win” requires perseverance: the ability to continue when others would not. This week we examine the Bible’s instruction on how we can “run the good race.”
#LIVING: VISION: BELIEVING & SEEING, PART 4
Date: September 22 & 23, 2012
Teacher: Robert Hahn
Vision - the commitment. Understanding a vision for Christ and having the courage to do it leads us to the tremendous cost of living for Christ. For Jesus it meant death on the cross; for us it means full devotion to our Savior. It’s not always popular, but it is the path we follow.

#LIVING: VISION: BELIEVING & SEEING, PART 3
Date: September 15 & 16, 2012
Teacher: Robert Hahn
Vision - the change. Vision by definition means change. When Jesus shared His vision, it meant people had to change their way of approaching God and what they thought about religion. We still have to make those changes today. Christ calls us to be a vibrant community where new things are always happening.
#LIVING: VISION: BELIEVING & SEEING, PART 2
Date: September 8 & 9, 2012
Teacher: Robert Hahn
Vison - the courage. Christian vision not only takes a commitment to Christ, it takes the courage to live the vision He gives us. This week we are going to see how Scripture can strengthen us to live in a way that not only changes our lives, but changes the lives of others.
#LIVING: VISION: BELIEVING & SEEING, PART 1
Date: September 1 & 2, 2012
Teacher: Robert Hahn
Vision - the understanding. We hear the word “vision” in everything from smartphones to political campaigns, but what does vision mean in a church and specifically in our church? This week we will all learn what the Bible teaches about vision and why it matters.
#LIVING: LIVING COMMUNITY
Date: August 25 & 26, 2012
Teacher: Jeremy Robinson
From the very beginning, God’s design has been for people to live in community. The truth is that it’s not as easy as it sounds. It has to be intentional and Christ-focused. This week we learn how five minutes can make all the difference in the life of a person and the life of our Biblical Community.
#LIVING: THE WAY WE REACH, PART THREE
Date: August 18 & 19, 2012
Teacher: Robert Hahn
Evangelism – the picture. As we close out our three-week look at evangelism, we’re going to take a real and perhaps unusual look at what evangelism looks like for us at Chesapeake Church. You may find you’re doing more of it than you realize.
#LIVING: THE WAY WE REACH, PART TWO
Date: August 11 & 12, 2012
Teacher: Robert Hahn
Evangelism – the power. It’s customary to think of evangelism in terms of how it changes other people’s lives, yet the hidden jewel is how sharing the Gospel changes us. One of the best ways to grow our faith is to give it away. That’s when the power of the Holy Spirit is unleashed.
#LIVING: THE WAY WE REACH, PART ONE
Date: August 4 & 5, 2012
Teacher: Robert Hahn
Evangelism - the purpose. If God can do anything, then why does He rely on us to spread the news about Jesus? While it’s hard to understand how sinful people inspire other sinners to Christ, this is exactly God’s purpose in evangelism. The key is finding what that means for you.
#LIVING: LIVING WORSHIP, PART THREE
Date: July 28 & 29, 2012
Teacher: Robert Hahn
Heaven is described as an eternal worship experience. While we don’t know exactly what that means or how that looks, we can get a taste of Heaven here on earth. When we surrender our will to Christ, allow Him to set our priorities and invite Him to lead our lives, we begin to cultivate a bit of Heaven right here.
#LIVING: LIVING WORSHIP, PART TWO
Date: July 21 & 22, 2012
Teacher: Robert Hahn
There’s a reason we jump to our feet when our favorite team does well or when a performance moves us. There’s a reason we stand in line to buy tickets to our favorite show or why we get excited about an upcoming event. Not only are we designed to worship – we want to. We have a deeply rooted desire to be excited and engaged with something great. That passion is first to be shown to Christ, to God’s holiness. Worshipping God is ultimately the only devotion that satisfies.
#LIVING: LIVING WORSHIP, PART ONE
Date: July 14 & 15, 2012
Teacher: Robert Hahn
God created us to worship. The ability to worship resides in each human being. True worship is more than singing hymns and praise songs. We worship with our every breath, every word, every thought and every deed. When our hearts are devoted to Christ, we soon see that all we do is worship.
#LIVING: LIVING IN PEACE, PART THREE
Date: July 7 & 8, 2012
Teacher: Robert Hahn
Most of us want to live in peace – we try to Biblically reconcile with people, and still, living in peace can be tricky. It seems the whole world is in conflict. Where can we seek and find tranquility? Jesus says, “Go to the church.” That means us! This is our time to commit that our church will be the living peace of Christ – a beacon of hope in the world.
Series Interruption: Jesus In The Old Testament
Date: June 30 & July 1, 2012
Teacher: Steven Katz, Special Guest Speaker
Most people don’t realize that Jesus shows up in the Old Testament, both symbolically and actually. This weekend Stephen Katz of Jews for Jesus will give us true insight as to how we can see Jesus throughout all of history, and by doing so, realize He is still with us today.
#LIVING: LIVING IN PEACE, PART TWO
Date: June 23 & 24, 2012
Teacher: Robert Hahn
The sad fact is that even when we seek peace and reconciliation, it often eludes us. These are the moments when having a trusted Christian friend can make the difference between breaking a relationship or finding genuine healing and peace.
#LIVING: LIVING IN PEACE, PART ONE
Date: June 16 & 17, 2012
Teacher: Robert Hahn
Jesus understood one very important thing about being at peace with people: the first moment conflict arrives will determine everything else. How do you react in the immediate moment when you feel hurt, slighted or offended? Anger rises quickly; however, it need not spill out. Jesus teaches us how to seek peace first.
REAL VALUE - PART THREE
Date:June 9 & 10, 2012
Teacher: Robert Hahn
A genuine community that has truly surrendered all to Christ cannot be resisted. We not only unleash a flood of grace, but we also dominate social conversations by our actions. Christians who show the value of a Christ-centered faith in tangible ways are game-changers.
REAL VALUE - PART TWO
Date: June 2 & 3, 2012
Teacher: Robert Hahn
It is popular to talk about Christian values, but what we value speaks loudest. Our ability to declare that Christ is our most prized possession is the most eloquent declaration of what we really believe.
REAL VALUE, PART ONE
Date: May 26 & 27, 2012
Teacher: Robert Hahn
Perhaps the greatest difficulty with living for Christ is allowing Him to determine how we live, not just in our moral character, but in our physical character. For whatever reason, we resist surrendering our material life to Him. This week we begin an honest look at why material surrender matters.
WHERE IT HAPPENS, PART THREE
Date: May 19 & 20, 2012
Teacher: Nancy Brien
All throughout the Bible, there were times when God’s people lost sight of all the great things He had done for them. They’d lose sight of the great life they already had. It is wise living to reflect and appreciate how good and gracious God has already been to us and savor the moment we have at hand.
WHERE IT HAPPENS, PART TWO (HONDURAS TEAM COMMISSION & COMMUNION
Date: May 12 & 13, 2012
Teacher: Robert Hahn
Kingdom building is so central to life that it is a source of true and lasting contentment. Often our feelings of worldly happiness and satisfaction come from that which we can touch and feel. But success in the Kingdom is often realized at a distance or over the course of generations. Serving with faith and trust creates genuine joy. At the end of each service we will commission our Honduras Team.
WHERE IT HAPPENS, PART ONE (& HONDURAS TEAM OFFERING)
Date: May 5 & 6, 2012
Teacher: Robert Hahn
People want to do good all the time. But just doing “good things” doesn’t mean we’re building the Kingdom. Yet Kingdom building is a cornerstone to “living, according to the Guy who invented it.” This week we learn the true nature of building God’s Kingdom. At the end of each service we will make a special offering for our Honduras Team.
WHERE IT BEGINS - PART THREE
Date: April 28 & 29, 2012
Teacher: Robert Hahn
A genuine community of grace cannot be contained, nor does it want to be. Joyful living spills out like an overflowing cup.
WHERE IT BEGINS - PART TWO & PROFESSION OF FAITH BAPTISMS
Date: April 21 & 22, 2012
Teacher: Robert Hahn
People who are willing to profess their faith publicly are really responding to the call of God's grace. Answering that call is an everyday, life-long challenge.
WHERE IT BEGINS - PART ONE & COVENANT BAPTISMS
Date: April 14 & 15, 2012
Teacher: Robert Hahn
God's grace begins with His promise. It's a promise that began in the Garden and remains to this day - even in spite of our sin. Living with the promise of grace is where joyful living begins.
