This series will look at different characteristics exemplified by Nehemiah as he rebuilt Jerusalem's walls following the Israelites' Babylonian Exile. This week, Pastor Dave Robinson teaches about becoming a person of risk and action. We learn about Nehemiah as a "change agent" - one who initiates timely and appropriate change in light of needs at hand for the glory of God and a fruitful harvest. Dave encourages us to become change agents, making a difference and multiplying our lives. http://www.covenantchapel.com/sermon/becoming-a-person-of-risk--action http://www.covenantchapel.com/am_cms_media/sermonbecomingpersonriskaction111608.mp3 Sun, 16 Nov 2008 16:39:47 CST Dave Robinson Nehemiah: Becoming a Person of _______ robinson,dave,sermons,chapel,covenant,nehemiah,risk,action 32:19 Throughout October and November we will be studying the book of Nehemiah in a series called "Nehemiah: Becoming a Person of ______."

This series will look at different characteristics exemplified by Nehemiah as he rebuilt Jerusalem's walls following the Israelites' Babylonian Exile. This week, Pastor Dave Robinson teaches about becoming a person of prayer. After learning about the fall of Jerusalem's walls, Nehemiah spends four months praying. Studying his example we can learn characteristics of God-glorifying intercessory prayer. http://www.covenantchapel.com/sermon/becoming-a-person-of-prayer-part-1 http://www.covenantchapel.com/am_cms_media/sermon-becoming-a-person-of-prayer-oct-26-2008.mp3 Sun, 26 Oct 2008 16:47:17 CDT Dave Robinson Nehemiah: Becoming a Person of _______ vision,passion,burden,nehemiah,of,person,becoming,prayer,robinson,dave,chapel,covenant 43:47 Throughout October and November we will be studying the book of Nehemiah in a series called "Nehemiah: Becoming a Person of ______." This series will look at different characteristics exemplified by Nehemiah as he rebuilt Jerusalem's walls following the Israelites' Babylonian Exile. This week, Pastor Dave Robinson teaches about becoming a person of passion. Although Jerusalem's walls had been broken down for nearly 150 years by the time Nehemiah heard the news, his passionate reaction and subsequent prayer set the stage for significant action. Nehemiah's example should challenge us to be people of passion who stand in the gap of problems that exist in the world today. http://www.covenantchapel.com/sermon/becoming-a-person-of-passion http://www.covenantchapel.com/am_cms_media/sermonbecomingpersonpassion101908.mp3 Sun, 19 Oct 2008 16:56:03 CDT Dave Robinson Nehemiah: Becoming a Person of _______ covenant,chapel,dave,robinson,nehemiah,becoming,a,person,of,passion,series,jerusalem,walls,broken,stand,gap 44:33 Throughout October and November we will be studying the book of Nehemiah in a series called "Nehemiah: Becoming a Person of ______." This series will look at different characteristics exemplified by Nehemiah as he rebuilt Jerusalem's walls following the Israelites' Babylonian Exile. This week Dave Robinson teaches about becoming a person of burden. Before Nehemiah acted, he allowed God to burden him with a need: the destroyed walls and burned gates of Jerusalem. Studying Nehemiah's example, Dave asks: "what makes you weep and pound the table?" or, "what burden or problem is yours to help solve?" http://www.covenantchapel.com/sermon/becoming-a-person-of-burden http://www.covenantchapel.com/am_cms_media/sermonbecomingpersonburden101208.mp3 Sun, 12 Oct 2008 12:33:25 CDT Dave Robinson Nehemiah: Becoming a Person of _______ covenant,chapel,sermons,dave,robinson,nehemiah,becoming,a,person,of,burden,making,difference,weep,problem,solve,jerusalem,walls 38:48 In Jesus' prayer before his crucifiction, he makes a bold request - that God would glorify him. How can Jesus pray for his own glory? Isn't that egotistical? In this message, guest teacher Dave Cover from The Crossing Church in Colombia, MO, explains why just the opposite is true. As a part of the Trinity, Jesus must seek his own glory. And in doing so, Jesus invites his followers to enjoy the only thing that can satisfy. http://www.covenantchapel.com/sermon/is-god-egotistical http://www.covenantchapel.com/am_cms_media/sermongodegotisticalcover10508.mp3 Sun, 05 Oct 2008 11:25:25 CDT Dave Cover In Jesus' prayer before his crucifiction, he makes a bold request - that God would glorify him.

What's the difference between walking by faith and walking by sight? The last of a six-part series on the Essence of Faith, this message explores what it means to walk by faith. We explore the example of Paul from 2 Corinthians - his life situation and his response - and how Paul refused to let circumstances diminish his faith. Pastor Dave Robinson shares principles from Paul's example and then asks us to consider what difference an eternal perspective makes in our lives when we face difficult situations and circumstances. http://www.covenantchapel.com/sermon/faith-walking-by-faith http://www.covenantchapel.com/am_cms_media/essencefaithwalkingbyfaith.mp3 Sun, 21 Sep 2008 14:10:53 CDT Dave Robinson The Essence of Faith covenant,chapel,faith,essence,dave,robinson,corinthians,paul 39:35 What does it mean to live a life of faith? What holds us back from living by faith? The fifth of a six-part series on the Essence of Faith, this message explores what it means to live by faith. Looking at Hebrews, including one of the Bible's most recognized verses on faith (Hebrews 11:1), Pastor Dave Robinson explains faith's connection to the past, present and future; and God and His Word are the unshakeable source of faith's confidence. http://www.covenantchapel.com/sermon/faith-living-by-faith http://www.covenantchapel.com/am_cms_media/essencefaithlivingbyfaith91408.mp3 Sun, 14 Sep 2008 11:32:25 CDT Dave Robinson The Essence of Faith covenant,chapel,sermons,messages,dave,robinson,faith,hebrews,living,essence,confidence 46:47 What does it mean to live a life of faith? How does faith affect the way we respond to challenges and difficult situations? The fourth of a six-part series on the Essence of Faith, this message looks at Solomon's famous words from Proverbs 3:5-6. Pastor Dave Robinson urges us to consider how Solomon defined faith: to put God in the spotlight, refuse to rely on our own perception, and to have hope for the future. http://www.covenantchapel.com/sermon/faith-solomons-famous-words http://www.covenantchapel.com/am_cms_media/essencefaithsolomon9708.mp3 Sun, 07 Sep 2008 14:57:04 CDT Dave Robinson The Essence of Faith faith,essence,dave,robinson,covenant,chapel,solomon,famous,words,proverbs,challenges,perceptions,hope 36:53 What does it mean to live a life of faith? How does faith affect the way we respond to challenges? The third of a six-part series on the Essence of Faith, this message looks at Phillip's bad example of faith at Jesus' feeding of the 5,000. Pastor Dave Robinson encourages us to realize Jesus initiates challenges to test our faith, remember what Jesus has done in the past, and respond with faith to avoid becoming a bad example like Phillip. http://www.covenantchapel.com/sermon/faith-phillips-example http://www.covenantchapel.com/am_cms_media/essencefaithphillip83108.mp3 Sun, 31 Aug 2008 15:47:50 CDT Dave Robinson The Essence of Faith phillip,feeding,jesus,loaves,fish,luke,dave,robinson,essence,faith,example,bad 41:30 What does it mean to live a life of faith?

His final message looks at Paul's words from Philippians 3:12-14. What does it mean to press on in our faith? Do we care enough about our faith to say we are applying all our strength and making our best effort to follow Christ? Taking the Apostle Paul's words and example, this message teaches us to forget what's past, strain toward what's ahead, and press on toward Christ. http://www.covenantchapel.com/sermon/press-on http://www.covenantchapel.com/am_cms_media/presson72708.mp3 Sun, 27 Jul 2008 15:42:42 CDT Tom Ryan Perseverance: A Study of Philippians 3 paul,faith,perseverance,philippians,ryan,tom,christ 44:42 Founding Pastor Tom Ryan concludes his ministry at Covenant Chapel with two messages from Philippians 3. The first looks at Paul's words from Philippians 3:7-11. How can we have a faith that works? How can we live a life that truly matters? This message teaches us to, like the Apostle Paul, consider everything a loss compared to Christ. http://www.covenantchapel.com/sermon/losing-to-gain http://www.covenantchapel.com/am_cms_media/losetogain72008.mp3 Sun, 20 Jul 2008 15:42:55 CDT Tom Ryan Perseverance: A Study of Philippians 3 perseverance,christ,gain,lose,paul,philippians,ryan,tom 41:58 What can one person really do? Looking at the example of Esther, this message encourages us not just to endure, but to accept the challenges God gives, expecting God to show up. Only then can we overcome challenges that seem unreasonable and allow God to use us to do great things. http://www.covenantchapel.com/sermon/seizing-the-moments-god-gives-you http://www.covenantchapel.com/am_cms_media/seizingmoments71308.mp3 Sun, 13 Jul 2008 15:43:09 CDT Dave Robinson Moments: Enduring and Seizing the Moments God Gives Us gives,god,seizing,moments,esther,robinson,dave,challenges 33:50 Why are there times in life when things are difficult, and yet God seems silent?
