Sermon clips from Chillicothe churches

68s
“The last thing I want you to know about David is that he was a work in progress over perfection. It'd be nice if we knew the whole story of David that he was sinless, but he wasn't. He was far from sinless. He committed serious sins, including adultery and murder. Hard to believe that the man who mowed down Goliath, hard to believe the man who wrote the Psalms could also commit adultery and murder. However, what I love about this story is that the the defining mark of David was his heart. And even when he sinned, he responded to God with broken remorse and repentance. He he he brought his heart back to God for forgiveness. So yeah, there's no such thing as a sinless human being, including David. But he pursued God with a wholehearted devotion, a man after God's own heart, and how God loved and forgave him.”
47s
“Yes, Jesus. All I'm trying to tell you is that we serve a god who is able to reach down and lift you up when you were not capable of lifting yourself. I wish I had a witness to say. I I didn't climb out that pit. I I couldn't crawl out that pit. I couldn't think my way out. I couldn't pay my way out. I didn't have enough strength to pull my way out. I couldn't network my way out. But when I could not lift myself, lifted me. Here it is. While I was waiting, god was working.”
86s
“In life, there are a lot of things that can make men get scared, but with God with us, we do not need to fear anything. You don't need to be scared of anything. I'm gonna make you a promise. Okay? You're gonna love this promise. I I guarantee I give you a 100% guarantee. When you stand up for god, you're gonna come under attack. I promise you. I don't care if it's on Facebook or or anything. Someone this week got mad that we we got a blessing box on the back of the church for our own people, and they sent me they they just thought they needed to attack me, and I'm like, And so I defended God but you're gonna come under attack. And it may come through Facebook. It may even come in your own home. It it may come at work. It could come just at the gas pump. It could come anywhere, and you're gonna come under attack. Do not be scared. God is with you.”
65s
“Yes, sir. K? When Jesus is at a home in all of us I I like this part. When Jesus at home in all of us through the power of the holy spirit and we are rooted and grounded in god's love, Here, there is no limit to what god can accomplish through his church. My lord. And I got I like I have I got I got this this highlighted on my paper. It's highlighted yellow, but I got no limit in bold. Because I I the lord says, take the limits off me. K? We as a people, we limit god because while we don't really don't trust god, god is saying, take the training wheels off and let me come on here. Trust me. Right? There's no limits in god. They're they're they're gonna have unlimited resources. So if we, as a body of Christ, allow the power of the holy spirit and be rooted and grounded in god's love, there is no limit what god can accomplish through his church.”
84s
“If I hold this glass of water for just a minute, probably wouldn't really feel that much heavier. But if I held on to this glass for an hour, imagine my arm would begin to ache. If I tried to hold on to this glass for a full day, certainly my arm would begin to go numb. It would feel heavier and heavier. I might even just feel paralyzed by trying to hold onto this glass. The stresses and the worries of life are a lot like this glass of water. If you think about them for just a little while, it'll be okay. But if you think about them for a little bit longer, they'll begin to hurt. And if you think about them all day long, you may just feel incapable of doing anything about them. What we're invited to do in our lives is to to put the glass down.”
78s
“I remember as I was a child, my very first church I attended, I remember we sang that song, nothing. Nothing. Nothing's too difficult for thee. And today, it resonates in my spirit. And though I face difficult situations in this life, they're not too difficult for almighty God. Take heart in the word of God today, church. Romans chapter eight verse 18 tells us that I reckon that the present sufferings cannot compare to the glory which shall be revealed within us. These difficulties, these tough times that we're facing are only for a season. Almighty god says, I will be with you. I will see you through your difficult situation this day. Nothing, absolutely nothing is too difficult for our god.”
80s
“``He is our everything. He gave us everything when he died on the cross, didn't he? If it wasn't for him, we would not have any promise of any future, would we? Because the wages of sin is death. But you know what? It doesn't stop there. Because if we all received our wages, that would be what we would get, isn't it? Because we sin. But you know what? The verse goes on to tell us that the gift of God, the gift, it's free. But the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ, our Lord. Isn't that the most wonderful thing? You know, no matter what, god is faithful to us, isn't he? No matter what, whether we're the prodigal son, we're the son that was stayed at home, if we've wandered away or if we've never come to him before, he still loves us very much, and he's been faithful to us. He doesn't want anyone to be lost. He wants each one of us to come to him.”
87s
“Come on. You can embrace your past. Now, I know everybody's daddy didn't go to church because some of our poppers was a rolling stone. Come on. Let's just be real about it. Amen. But one thing about it, god said to honor your father and your mother. Amen. No matter what. Amen. You honor them. So that your days. Come on. Maybe they made mistake. You made mistakes. We all made mistakes. Hallelujah. But honor your father and your mother So that your days will be long upon this earth. Amen? And we're thanking god. I praise god for the word of the lord. God instituted families. He instituted the home. Yeah. And he had, amen, the man to be the head of the home. Alright. Amen? Amen. God is ahead of the church. Yes. I heard three amens. Amen. Somebody gotta twist it. Come on. God is head of the church.”
61s
“Because Christians have been dividing themselves over these things for centuries, and it shouldn't be that way. Now I don't know if this is moving the goalpost or not, but I believe that we can think differently about some things and still be perfectly united in mind and in thought as Paul says. You know, unity is not uniformity. Uniformity is, you know, dressing the same and looking the same and thinking exactly the same on all things. That's what cults do, require uniformity, and we don't do that. Praise the lord for that. Now there are some things that we hold in a closed hand. Jesus was born of a virgin. Jesus died on the cross for our sins. Jesus was resurrected and ascended into heaven where he sits at the right hand of God ruling. We believe that God is trinity, three persons in one, the father, the son, and the holy spirit.”
70s
“Most importantly, it need fathers who point their families to Jesus. One man committed to god can change the course of his entire family. One father living for god can influence his children, his grandchildren, and generations that are yet unborn to him. As Joshua declared, and if it seemed evil unto you to serve the lord, choose you this day whom you will serve. But he goes on to say, but as for me and my house, we will serve the lord. May every father here today make that decision. May every man and woman here today make that decision as we all stand.”

Why Chillicothe churches are unique

Chillicothe, OH, Ohio’s first capital and a river town on the Scioto, carries a sense of heritage that shapes its faith communities. That history shows up in churches in Chillicothe through reverent architecture, storytelling preaching, and services that blend hymns with newer songs, reflecting a city that balances preservation and progress. You’ll frequently encounter blended traditional and modern worship, expository Bible teaching, and historic sanctuaries in downtown district.
With multi-generational families, Appalachian roots, and a resilient working-class culture, Chillicothe churches prioritize practical care alongside spiritual formation. Congregations often host recovery groups, meal ministries, and family-centered activities, meeting needs shaped by regional health and economic challenges and the presence of veterans and first responders. Look for strong kids programs for young families, recovery and addiction support ministries, and support for veterans and military families.
Set between river valleys and surrounding rural townships, the city’s geography fosters tight-knit networks that extend beyond Sunday. Many churches in Chillicothe organize neighborhood-based groups and flexible service times to accommodate commuters and shift workers, while rallying volunteers for seasonal projects along trails, parks, and schools. This translates into small group culture across neighborhoods, weekday services for shift workers, and community service and volunteer projects.
