The Making of a Neighbor
On the road Jesus creates neighbors of us all. In one of Jesus most famous road parables, The Good Samaritan, the question we need to learn to ask is not, “Who is my neighbor?,” but “Will I be a neighbor?” *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.
Removing the Barriers to Abundant Life
This Lent we will be following Jesus on his journey from Samaria to Jerusalem in a series called “On the Road.” In this first message, we’ll meet 3 men Jesus encountered along the way who though well intended, let other things get in the way of actually following Jesus. Have we counted the cost? Is there something holding us back or distracting us from actually hitting the road with Jesus and going where He has called us to go? *Christ’s Church…
Really: Is Jesus Good for the World?
Matthew 4. This message explores many of the ways Jesus is REALLY good for the world. But the way Jesus wants to change the world is not by force, but by invitation…Jesus will never be as good as he could be for the world when his followers remain unwilling to change. *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.

Traces of Promise: Suffering Comes With the Territory
Can a great person be a good person? That would all depend on how one defined greatness. The world attributes greatness to one’s performance, and only few can be great. Jesus, on the other hand contends that the greatest among you is the one who serves. *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.
Fish Can Fly
John 14. Pastor Dale’s farewell sermon encourages us to see the world for what it is in all it’s brokenness, but also to live into the realities of the cross, pentecost and heaven which can change the world now and prepare us for the world to come.
More: Tending the Well
As Christ’s Church continues exploring a strategic partnership with Grace Chapel, we’re excited to present the “More” series from Pastor Bryan Wilkerson and the Grace Chapel Teaching Team. In this week’s message we see that the flow of the Holy Spirit into our lives and the “more” we’re seeking from God gets stopped up when sin is left unchecked. It also harms the people we’re called to love and serve. King David’s Psalm of confession, Psalm 51, helps us to discover four helpful steps…
More: Unashamed
As Christ’s Church continues exploring a strategic partnership with Grace Chapel, we’re excited to present the “More” series from Pastor Bryan Wilkerson and the Grace Chapel Teaching Team.
