Alpine Chapel

God promises to work all things for the good of those who love him. That doesn't mean circumstances won't be difficult, though. That doesn't mean that our lives will always be easy. It does mean that no matter what happens, God can use our circumstances to accomplish our ultimate good: to know and be like Jesus. Check out Part Four of Alpine Chapel's series, "HOPE", and hear from Lead Pastor Dave Mudd about how God desires to conform us to the image of Jesus through the circumstances of our lives. Also, join Alpine as we commemorate the five-year anniversary of Dave and Natalie Mudd's leadership of Alpine Chapel.

Hope is the confident expectation of something better than what we're experiencing now. For some, though, the hurt and darkness of our past can obscure any vision for a future worth living for. Into this darkness, God gives us this incredible promise: He will work all things for the good of those who love him. Join Alpine Chapel for Part Three of our series, "HOPE", and hear powerful stories of God turning broken into beautiful as he calls us to receive the newness of life that only He offers.

Each of our lives is going somewhere. We may not be aware of it. We may not have picked the destination. But each of our lives is on a trajectory towards some ultimate end. And the difference between that reality exciting us or terrifying us is determined by whether or not we think the end of the story will be the best part. Join Alpine Chapel for Part Two of our Series, “HOPE”, and hear Lead Pastor Dave Mudd talk about how our idea of “heaven” shapes how we live today and what it means to think about “heaven” as God making good on all of his promises to us.

When people talk about “hope”, they’re typically talking about things we wish would happen (even though we have no certainly that they will!). But when the Bible talks about hope, it’s something very different. Biblical hope assures us of a better tomorrow because it is based on the promises of a good and faithful God. Check out Part One of Alpine Chapel’s new series, “HOPE”, and listen as Lead Pastor Dave Mudd helps us understand the difference that’s made in our lives when we stop putting our hope in things that will fail us and begin putting our hope in the promises of the only One who never fails.

When Jesus came, he didn’t come to offer us a new religion. He came to offer us a new relationship with the God of the universe. Like any relationship, though, there are times when we must take stock of where we’re at and decide how we’re going to move forward. Luckily, we have a God who is willing to work through whatever difficulty comes between us. Will we be willing, too? Join Alpine Chapel for a special message titled, “First Things First” where we share three stories from three different speakers about our relationship with God, God’s relationship with us, and the parts of our lives where we need to welcome Him in.

The research is clear: giving is good, not only for the ones who are receiving but also for the ones doing the giving. But there’s a giving that goes beyond just being “good”; it’s a giving that goes beyond the benefit we bring to ourselves and others and becomes a reflection of God’s generosity towards us. When it comes to making change, how do we move from just giving to giving generously? Check out Part Three of Alpine’s series, “Making Change”, as listen as Lead Pastor Dave Mudd invites us to honestly answer the question: when we think about God, do we think about him as a giver or a taker? And do our actions reflect our answer?

Nobody wants it, but we can’t seem to get rid of it: stress. No matter what we do, the stress in our lives never seems to go away. In fact, it just seems to get worse. But what if the solution to our stress has been right in front of us all along? Would we really want to take advantage of the cure that we’re offered? Check out Part Two of Alpine Chapel’s series, “Making Change”, and listen as Lead Pastor Dave Mudd shares the most powerful thing we can do to deal with pervasive stress in our lives.

What would it look like for us to create more space in our lives for Jesus in 2018? It’s a big question because in order for us to create that space, there’s changes we’ll need to make in our lives. But if we have the courage to make those changes, 2018 could be our best year ever. Check out Part One of Alpine’s new series, “Making Change”, and listen as Lead Pastor Dave Mudd shares about changes we can make to create more space for Jesus in our lives beginning with this profound truth: less is more.

As one year comes to a close, we look forward to what the next year will hold. We dream, plan, and make resolutions all around how we want to be better tomorrow than we were yesterday. But more often than not, our attempts at change lose steam before the year is half gone. That’s because the change we really need isn’t something we can accomplish outside-in. It is something God has to do from the inside out. Join Alpine Chapel for the last sermon of 2017 and listen as Lead Pastor Dave Mudd shares about how Jesus can bring real change to our lives: change that leaves no one out, that respects our need for time, and reaches into the depths of our hearts to make us more like His Son.

He’s the embodiment of Christmas joy and a new holiday classic: Buddy the Elf. We laugh at his childish approach to the “grown up” world outside the North Pole but there’s a lot we can learn from his childlikeness, especially when it comes to faith. So what does it look like for us to have faith like a child? Join Alpine Chapel for Part Three of our December series, “Christmas at the Movies”. Listen as Lead Pastor Dave Mudd shares about the characteristics of a childlike faith and the opportunity we have to live out that faith at Christmas.

Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol is one of the most well-known Christmas stories of all time. Published over 150 years ago with over 20 film adaptations, its a story of redemption that we just can’t get enough of. But where does real redemption come from? And how do we know it when we find it? Check out Part Two of Alpine’s series, “Christmas at the Movies” and listen as Staff Pastor Alex Gowler shares how the redemption stories of Scrooge and Saul help us understand what Christmas is all about.
