A Nap Is Good for Your Soul

After defeating the false prophets of Baal, Elijah is on the run from the Queen who has vowed to kill him. He’s exhausted, burned out, and just wants to quit. God sends an angel to him and the first thing Elijah does is take a nap. Similarly, after a long year, summer is finally here but you might find yourself exhausted, burned out, and maybe wanting to quit. Taking some naps this summer may be the first step in saving…

GIfts for the Mission

Jesus calls us to a new life, clothes us in Himself, commissions us with a purpose and empowers us to fulfill that purpose. Guest speaker Bill Ferrin.

Faithfulness for the World

We all have special responsibilities and roles we are called to fulfill. But sometimes when something doesn’t go as expected—especially when we lose something—it’s tough to keep going. Is there a life that can be enjoyed when so much in our lives can be taken away? And can that life be good for those around us too? Revelation 13 sheds some light on that.

Thoughts and Prayers

When we care for one another in thought, word, and deed, we invite the power and presence of Christ into our lives and community. *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 Order of the Towel

Selfish ambition can be the downfall of both church and society. The antidote to selfish ambition and vain conceit is humility, something our society might consider weakness. Moving from a self-centered life to an others-centered life involves risk, commitment, vulnerability, and trust. *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.

Wisdom for Working it Out

If you want to know what you believe, look at what you do. We can say all kinds of things about the things we believe to be true, but the proof is in the doing. What kind of faith saves? or Does salvation come when we simply believing the right things? or Sola Fide or something more? *Christ’s Church is a strategic partner of Grace Chapel in Lexington, MA and features the teaching of Pastor Bryan Wilkerson and the Grace…

The Most important Question

Why am I here? Who is my soulmate? How can I be successful? These are all valuable questions. But all of them focus on us doing the asking. When we consider the most important question, it might well be that it is a question we have to answer, rather than ask. Guest speaker Michael D. Hammond, President of Gordon College, explores our culture’s fixation on identity and how followers of Jesus need to re-center their lives on the most important…

Wisdom for Living

We all know that listening, reading, or hearing someone’s words is not the same thing as DOING what someone says. So why is it that so many of us in the church think that coming to church to hear the word of God is the same thing as doing the word of God? *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 Butterfly Effect

When we serve others in love, we change the world for good. *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.

On Becoming Butterflies

Whatever else people might want to say about Jesus, the one thing everybody seems to agree on, is that he lived a good and beautiful life. But as remarkable as Jesus’ life was, the more remarkable thing might be that he expected his followers to live equally good and beautiful lives. How is that possible? *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…

From Status to Service

We have all been through change, and while looking at the world around us we often think change is needed. But why? Why do we feel the need for change? And how do we go about working for change? However we feel about Jesus, he changed the world. Jesus was a changemaker. What can we learn from Jesus about bringing about good change that lasts? *Christ’s Church is a strategic partner of Grace Chapel in Lexington, MA and features the…
