Sermons on Ecclesiastes

We don’t have to fear change, because with Christ, every change is an opportunity to be changed, and to become the person God is calling us to be. *Christ’s Church is a strategic partner of Grace Chapel in Lexington, MA and features the teaching of the Grace Chapel Teaching Team.

Like most everything else in life, change goes better when we do it together. *Christ’s Church is a strategic partner of Grace Chapel in Lexington, MA and features the teaching of Pastor Bryan Wilkerson and the Grace Chapel Teaching Team.

Letting Go

Change is supposed to be a part of life. But that doesn’t mean letting go of what came before is easy. And matters only get worse when whatever is next fails to meet our expectations. How can we navigate change and enjoy what’s next when it’s so hard to let go? It turns out that one of the most mysterious books of the Bible, Ecclesiastes, sheds some light on that question.

Embracing Change

When we embrace change with courage and faith, we discover God to be the same here, there, and everywhere in between. *Christ’s Church is a strategic partner of Grace Chapel in Lexington, MA and features the teaching of Pastor Bryan Wilkerson and the Grace Chapel Teaching Team.

Fearful & Unafraid

When things are not in their proper place, they can’t benefit us the way they were meant to. Discover how fearing God, or keeping him in his proper place, frees us from meaninglessness and fear, and frees us for abundant life. *Christ’s Church is a strategic partner of Grace Chapel in Lexington, MA and features the teaching of Pastor Bryan Wilkerson and the Grace Chapel Teaching Team.

Dust in the Wind?

Is ambition something to celebrate, or repent of? *Christ’s Church is a strategic partner of Grace Chapel in Lexington, MA and features the teaching of Pastor Bryan Wilkerson and the Grace Chapel Teaching Team.

A Time for Greater Power

How can we maintain control of our lives when so many things in life are uncontrollable? *Christ’s Church is a strategic partner of Grace Chapel in Lexington, MA and features the teaching of Pastor Bryan Wilkerson and the Grace Chapel Teaching Team.

Pleasure Unchained

We can relate to the trap of believing that leisure and fun can accomplish more than they actually are able to provide. But the promise is that genuine pleasure – in all the fullness that God intended — will make you come alive. *Christ’s Church is a strategic partner of Grace Chapel in Lexington, MA and features the teaching of Pastor Bryan Wilkerson and the Grace Chapel Teaching Team.

The Mystery of Meaning

The promise of transcendence is that it inspires us to pursue meaning, and ultimately God.  The trap of transcendence is that we conclude there is no ultimate meaning to be found; that ALL of life and human experience is a mystery, so it’s futile to try to figure it out. *Christ’s Church is a strategic partner of Grace Chapel in Lexington, MA and features the teaching of Pastor Bryan Wilkerson and the Grace Chapel Teaching Team.

Finding God After the Apocalypse

Hear the quest for meaning echoed in the Hunger Games and the wisdom of Ecclesiastes. *Christ’s Church is a strategic partner of Grace Chapel in Lexington, MA and features the teaching of Pastor Bryan Wilkerson and the Grace Chapel Teaching Team.

Book of Acts: Peter’s Prison Break

Acts 12. After Peter’s arrest, believers were hiding out, earnestly praying for his release. When God miraculously sets him free, they don’t believe it at first.

How often do our fears cause us to hide our faith rather than share it with the desperate (and sometimes hostile) world we live in?
