Chasing Dreams: Why God Makes You Wait

Bishop Chip Hayslip · June 7, 2026

Bishop Chip Hayslip shares "Chasing Dreams," a sermon on how God prepares us for the calling and vision He places on our lives. Drawing from 1 Samuel 16 and the anointing of David, Bishop Chip walks through three life-changing principles: the need for consecration before promotion, the danger of criticizing someone else's dream when you feel overlooked, and the call to never despise the delay between your anointing and your assignment. Through honest stories — from meeting his wife Amy and their first date at Burger King, to surviving a violent childhood and being told he would never amount to anything — he reminds us that God looks at the heart, not the outward appearance, and that there is always a process behind every promise.
