Unshakable Confidence | Pastor Stephen Chandler | Union Church 11.05.2026 35min

ABOUT THIS MESSAGE:What would your life look like if your confidence was rooted in who God is instead of what life looks like? This Sunday’s message, Unshakable Confidence, reminded us that real confidence is built on the character and promises of God — not fear, insecurity, or other people’s opinions. Who tells the story dictates what you believe. When you meditate on God’s character, you learn to trust His heart even when you can’t track His methods. Stay rooted in His truth and walk with unshakable confidence.ABOUT UNION CHURCH:We exist for one thing: to help unite people with purpose.

ABOUT THIS MESSAGE: What would you attempt if you knew God wouldn’t fail you? This Sunday’s message, I’m Done Running, reminded us that many battles begin with intimidation before they ever become defeat.

The Fruit Of Desperation | Pastor Stephen Chandler | Union Church 27.04.2026 49min

ABOUT THIS MESSAGE: Have you ever felt exhausted doing all the right things—but still feel like something’s missing? In “The Fruit of Desperation,” we’re reminded that we’re not meant to live in our own strength. Many of us are running on empty because we’re relying on effort instead of the power of the Holy Spirit. We don’t do things to earn God’s love, we move because we already have it. But some things in life won’t shift by effort alone—they require His power. This message challenges us to surrender control, seek God’s power over people’s approval, and make room for Him to move—because there’s only one driver’s seat. If you’ve been feeling stuck or drained, this message is for you. ABOUT UNION CHURCH: We exist for one thing: to help unite people with purpose.

Adjusting Your Appetite | Pastor Wayne Brown | Union Church 20.04.2026 40min

ABOUT THIS MESSAGEWhat if the reason you feel stuck isn’t because there’s nothing more, but because you’ve been avoiding the very thing meant to grow you?In this message, we explore what it looks like to move from just surviving to truly thriving in your walk with Christ. So often, we return to what’s familiar instead of embracing what’s necessary for growth, but avoiding the test only delays the transformation. This message will challenge you to step out of old cycles, embrace discomfort, and trust that what God is doing in you is preparing you for more. What you’ve been avoiding might be exactly what God wants to use to transform you.ABOUT UNION CHURCHWe exist for one thing: to help unite people with purpose.

What Did You Call Me? | Pastor Stephen Chandler | Union Church 13.04.2026 49min

ABOUT THIS MESSAGEWhat if the biggest thing that changed when you gave your life to Jesus wasn’t just your eternity, but your identity? In this message, we unpack what it really means to follow Jesus and how your status changes everything. You don’t just believe in God, you belong to Him. And when your status changes, your access changes. You’ve been brought into a family, given an inheritance, and invited into a real relationship with God. This message will challenge the way you see yourself and help you step into what God has already made available to you. Once you understand who you are to Him, everything changes.ABOUT UNION CHURCHWe exist for one thing: to help unite people with purpose.

When I Think About Jesus | Pastor Stephen Chandler | Union Church 06.04.2026 38min

ABOUT THIS MESSAGE Have you ever looked back and thought your best moments were already behind you? In this message, we’re reminded that what God has ahead of you is better than anything you’ve seen before. Sometimes we hold on to memories that were meant to remind us, not define us. But when we stay stuck in what was, we can miss what God is doing right now. This message challenges you to shift your perspective, let go of what’s behind, and step into what God is still building in your life. Your best days aren’t behind you. They’re still ahead.ABOUT UNION CHURCH We exist for one thing: to help unite people with purpose.

Blessed Not Stressed | Pastor Brian Bullock | Union Church 30.03.2026 45min

ABOUT THIS MESSAGE What if the thing you’ve been asking God for… He’s already given you? In this message, we unpack what it really means to be blessed and why so many of us are still begging for what’s already been provided. God didn’t wait for you to get it all together before He moved. He already made a way. The challenge isn’t getting God to do more—it’s learning how to live from what He’s already done. When you shift your perspective from lack to provision, everything changes. You’re not trying to get blessed. You already are. ABOUT UNION CHURCH We exist for one thing: to help unite people with purpose.

Messed With The Wrong One | Pastor Stephen Chandler | Union Church 23.03.2026 52min

ABOUT THIS MESSAGE Can I give you some good news? The only way you lose is if you quit. You might feel like you’re in a fight right now, but you’re fighting a defeated enemy. This message breaks down what it means to recognize the real battle and stop fighting the wrong fights. The enemy isn’t just attacking your life, he’s trying to occupy your mind. But you’re not powerless. You have weapons, and the greatest defense is your offense. When you understand who you’re fighting and what you’ve been given, everything changes. You’re not losing. You’re in a fight—and the enemy picked the wrong one. ABOUT UNION CHURCH We exist for one thing: to help unite people with purpose.

More Than A Meeting | Pastor Stephen Chandler | Union Church 16.03.2026 54min

ABOUT THIS MESSAGE Have you ever been in a meeting and thought, “Why am I here? This could’ve been an email.” We’ve all been there. But the gathering of the church was never meant to feel like that. In this message, we explore why the church was never about attendance—it has always been about assignment. When believers gather, something shifts. Life flows through connection, and when we stay connected to the body of Christ, we stay connected to the source God designed to strengthen us. Your life isn’t just being lived… it’s being displayed. God designed the church to be a showcase of His wisdom so the world can see that His ways actually work. This message will challenge the way you think about church, connection, and the role you play in what God is doing—because this has never just been a meeting. It’s a movement.

The Loss Adjuster | Pastor Charlotte Gambill | Union Church 09.03.2026 36min

ABOUT THIS MESSAGE The enemy doesn’t always need you to mess everything up. Sometimes he just needs you to miscalculate where you’re supposed to be. You can have the right appointment time and still be in the wrong building. In this message, we explore what it means to stay in step with the Holy Spirit and why positioning matters more than we think. When our emotions stay attached to what was, we can miss what God is doing right in front of us. But when we walk with the Holy Spirit, He helps us see clearly again—even in the hard moments. Sometimes the shift isn’t about trying harder. It’s about getting back in step with Him. ABOUT UNION CHURCH We exist for one thing: to help unite people with purpose.

Some Things Don’t Change | Pastor Stephen Chandler | Union Church 02.03.2026 51min

ABOUT THIS MESSAGE If the fight is big, so is the call. Just because life gets turbulent doesn’t mean your position has changed. Pressure doesn’t cancel your calling. And the temperature around you doesn’t get to determine who you are. In this message, we’re reminded that you are not defined by the climate. You are defined by the covenant. There will be natural turbulence and spiritual turbulence, but turbulence cannot drop you from the altitude God has already placed you on. Your position doesn’t change. Your identity doesn’t change. And God’s provision doesn’t change. No matter the pressure. No matter the fight. Some things don’t. ABOUT UNION CHURCH We exist for one thing: to help unite people with purpose.

Sleeping With a Lion | Pastor Zai Chandler | Union Church 23.02.2026 1h 1min

ABOUT THIS MESSAGE So you did the right thing… and still ended up in a pit. Make it make sense. In Daniel 6, obedience didn’t keep Daniel out of opposition. It actually put him in the den. And if we’re honest, that’s the part that frustrates us. You expect obedience to protect you, not position you for pressure. But here’s what we don’t always see. The lions aren’t always the real threat. Sometimes it’s the wrong perspective. The wrong people. Or slowly losing sight of your purpose that steals your joy before anything ever touches you. Your circumstances don’t dictate your happiness. You do. Joy anchors you. Happiness is just what shows on the surface. In this message, we unpack how to keep your happiness when you’ve been thrown into the den by focusing on the right perspective, the right people, and the right purpose. The den does not get the final say. And no, God is not sleeping on you.
