Unison Christian Church Teaching Team
Messages present at Unison Christian Church by our teaching team. Featuring Lead Pastor Chase R Stancle Sr.
Pastor Chase explores what Scripture says about heaven, hell, and the coming New Earth, while acknowledging the mystery surrounding the end times. Rather than living in fear or needing every answer, we’re called to trust God, love our neighbors, and live faithfully in the world we’ve been given.
This sermon is a “Bible Blitz” that tackles several listener questions, tying together themes of creation, justice, baptism, the kingdom of God, and discernment. At its core, it argues that Christians are called to live with faithful curiosity, care for creation, and active participation in God’s kingdom through Jesus.
The Bible is presented here as a collection of authoritative theological books that helps readers understand God, their relationship to God, and how to live with one another. It is described as both a foundation for faith and a living guide that points beyond debate toward practice, trust, and transformation.
The Holy Trinity reminds us that God is one—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit—working together in perfect unity, inviting us into a relationship built on trust rather than complete understanding. As we grow in faith, we discover that the Trinity not only reveals God's nature but also calls us to live in unity, love, and deeper dependence on Him.
In a world that pushes us toward division, Jesus calls us to something different: leading with humility, love, and belonging even when we disagree. This message explores how we can engage in difficult conversations with the heart of Christ, remembering that relationships matter more than winning arguments.
Following Jesus won't always be easy, but we're called to faithfully represent Him with love, truth, and courage. Even in a world that pushes back, our lives can point others to Christ.
What does it truly mean to live in God's reality? Join us as we explore how God's love frees us from self-condemnation, reminding us that our identity isn't found in perfection but in loving Him and loving others.
What does it mean to be a good man? This Father’s Day message reminds us that true manhood is marked by integrity, humility, and a heart that follows God—not by status, success, or perfection.
No matter what season you're in, God remains faithful and worthy of our praise. Psalm 150 reminds us that every breath is an opportunity to celebrate His goodness and grace. 🙌
This week in Whole Emotions, Holy Motions, we looked at Psalm 5 and discovered that God invites us to bring our anger to Him. When we take refuge in God, He helps transform our emotions into holy actions.
In Psalm 27, we explore how biblical hope is more than wishful thinking—it’s a confident trust in God’s faithfulness. Even in the midst of fear, suffering, and uncertainty, we can stand firm because our hope is anchored in Jesus, who has never failed and never will.
What do you do when life falls apart? In this message from Psalm 51, we explore how God invites us to bring our sorrow, shame, and brokenness to Him—and discover the healing and restoration found in true lament.
We’re beginning a new sermon series, Whole Emotions, Holy Motions — a journey through the Psalms and the full range of human emotions found in prayer. This message reminds us that God welcomes our honest prayers, our grief, our questions, and our hope, and that true faith is rooted in bringing our whole selves before Him.
This Mother’s Day, we reflected on the story of Esther and the quiet strength, courage, and wisdom of women who faithfully trust God. Through the examples of Esther and Alberta Williams King, we were reminded that God uses humble courage and faithful lives to bring transformation for “such a time as this.” Thank you to every woman who reflects the love, strength, and grace of Christ each day.
Pastor Chase preaches today from the Wisdom throughout the Bible. Are you aligned in your attention and efforts with the directions of the Spirit for your life?
Today, Lead Pastor Chase Stancle preaches about the parable of the sower and the soil. Have you been sowing the gospel or tending the 'plant' in the life of a loved one for years? Listen in for encouragement about the long process of good seed producing good fruit.
Life doesn’t always feel like life—sometimes it feels heavy, broken, and full of struggle. But in 2 Corinthians 4, we’re reminded that even though we are fragile “jars of clay,” we carry the powerful hope of Christ within us. No matter what you’re facing, you’re not crushed, not abandoned, and not without resurrection hope.

Ephesians 4:2-6
"Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love. Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace. There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called to one hope when you were called; one Lord, one faith, one baptism; one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all.”
To live this out means that my loyalty to those who share my political and economic views come second to my loyalty to those with whom I share a savior.
As believers, we need to calibrate our hearts and minds to the will of the Father when it comes to making all decisions. US politics and culture are not exceptions. In this sermon series we turn our hearts and focus to surrendering to the Father as we prepare ourselves for the climax of this election season.
