Private Lives
Sinkholes occur when underground streams drain away during seasons of drought, causing the ground at the surface to lose its underlying support. Suddenly everything simply caves in. THIS week we’d like to turn our attention to the COMPETING DEMANDS of public and private life.

Got Rhythm?
Finding balance in all the demands of everyday life feels impossible as we are pulled in so many different directions. But if we could find rhythm it might just bring beauty, order, and fulfillment to our everyday lives. In this first message in our new Rhythm series, we discover that God designed us to work best when we rest first. *Christ’s Church is a strategic partner of Grace Chapel in Lexington, MA and features the teaching of Pastor Bryan Wilkerson…
For When Adversity Comes
Difficult times are inevitable, but personal tragedy, disappointment and disillusionment don’t have to derail us. Could we invest in something now that will enable us to endure the adversity that is to come? Is there something God has written into the script of life that will give us the support we need to stand when the ground is shaking all around us? Proverbs17:16-20 might just have the answer.
Life is Hard
A centered heart is grateful, even when life is hard. Gratitude shapes our perspective and gives structure to our lives.

Stuck in the Muck
If prayer is a space that God has given us to enjoy him and find purpose to life, what happens when prayer doesn’t work? Is it possible that we who struggle with prayer might find a happiness in God that would bring life to our inner selves and to those around us? Is there something God wants us to know about ourselves that could free us from the mundane, strengthen our souls in the face of difficulties and bring gladness…
A Tale of Two Kings

When Christians Disagree

A Tale of Two Women
Sometimes we all feel bitter and as if God has forgotten us. But, that feeling isn’t unique to us in the 21st century. People in biblical times felt that way too.
