Chip looks at the tendency some folks have to have to have the latest and greatest of everything to fish, and our tendencies in the Church to focus more on the style of the service, the latest instruments – and sometimes miss out on the people. Mt 4, Lk 15  

Chip looks at how some people only want to catch specific fish (the largest, a particular kind…, while others fish for food.  He compares that with how sometimes people are more concerned with inviting people just like us instead of inviting all. Mt 4, 28  

Chip compares the excuses people use not to fish, to the excuses they use not to share their faith. Matt. 4:18-20

Chip continues to talk about our call to holiness, and the importance of holy communities. Titus 2:12-14

Chip talks about the call to Holiness that God has placed on our lives, and how the ways we blow our witness. 1 Pet 1:13-16

Chip talks about Adam & Eve trying to hide from God, and the ways we try and hide.  He asks, where are you? Gen. 3

Chip addresses the changes among the staff and where we’re going as a church. Jer 19:11-14 Ex 17:10-13

Chip looks at the sacrifices of our military and compares that to the calling we have to love one another. Jn 13:31-15:17
