Good Times

We are quick to call on God when the sky turns gray, but do we remember Him when the sun is shining?

It is a common tendency in the Christian life to compartmentalize our relationship with the Lord. We treat Him like an emergency contact—someone we dial up only when we are desperate, broken, or in need. But my friend, I want to remind you of something wonderful: the same God who comforts you in your sorrow also delights in your joy.

In this refreshing video, “Good Times,” we explore the lighter side of holiness. God isn’t a grim taskmaster who frowns upon our fun. On the contrary, He is the very Author of laughter! He invites us to bring Him into our celebrations, our silly moments, and our times of pure, unadulterated happiness.

In this uplifting message, we will look at:

  • Inviting God In: Moving beyond the “emergency only” mindset to share our joys with the Father.
  • The Gift of Laughter: Understanding that humor and fun are blessings from God, not distractions from Him.
  • Holiness in Happiness: Realizing that enjoying life is a vital part of a balanced spiritual walk.

So go ahead—laugh out loud. Enjoy the good times. And as you do, look up and smile, knowing your Heavenly Father is smiling right along with you.

From Promise to Presence

Everlasting Light: A Journey from Promise to Presence

From December 1 to 25, let the advent devotional Everlasting Light move you into a spirit of waiting, reflection, and preparation for Christ’s arrival.

Written by our Spanish pastor Carlos Zazueta (and also available in Spanish), this book includes quotes from Pastor Chuck to recenter your heart each day.

Insight for Living Broadcast

I found Insight for Living through our Bible study leader back in 1985, and this ministry has helped me grow in my faith as a follower of the Lord Jesus Christ. Chuck's messages from the Bible have many a time kept me afloat and paddling toward the goal in this Christian race.
