Sermons on Colossians
From hostility to Grace
When we’ve been wronged by someone in a personal way, it’s hard to overcome the shame that comes from a loss of agency. And that makes forgiveness or restoration all the more difficult. It makes bitterness and pain hard to beat. How can we continue to be life-giving and relationally healthy when inevitable wrongs rob us of something as important as dignity? Some ancient wisdom from the letter to Colossians sheds some light on that.
Talk to Me
Given the rise of NEGATIVE communication patterns and habits, we want to LEARN and PRACTICE better ways of communicating with one another – in the church, at home, in the workplace, and online. How do we SPEAK to each other in ways that are LIFE-giving and FAITH-strengthening? *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.
Staying on Rhythm
We all strive to take on better habits and to get into better life rhythms — whether that’s working and resting, spending time with people and spending time alone or being present in the moment and investing in the future. But what happens when a disruption knocks us off course? Is there a way we can stay on rhythm when disruptions are both powerful and inevitable? One of the Apostle Paul’s prayers in the book of Colossians may just have…
Can You Believe in God and Not in Jesus?
There are a lot of decent people all around the world who believe in God but not in Jesus. Some were raised that way. Some believe in God but are hesitant to accept Jesus because of some personal cost. It might be simpler if there were lots of ways to know God. But would they be true? Can you believe in God and not in Jesus?
Nurturing Spaces
There is a special grace knowing that the life we’ve lived and the resources we’ve been entrusted with made an eternal impact on someone’s life. But it’s so easy to miss the opportunities to make a difference. How can we experience the grace of becoming a meaningful part of other people’s stories?

House Rules
Your season of home life may call for an extra measure of gentleness, or patience, or forgiveness. It certainly calls for love. Christ can help you with that. Your church can support you in that. Sometimes, the best thing we can do for our family is to pray, being watchful and thankful. *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 Secret of Happiness
Life is full of interruptions, frustrations and disappointments. Sometimes it doesn’t feel like God cares about our happiness on this earth. But that’s not the case at all. How can we rise above the brokenness around us and experience the joy that God invites us to have? We will explore that in James 1:2-4.
Walking Wisely on the Outside to Open Doors Within
God invites us to share his life-giving, world-changing message with all people, but we often feel limited by our abilities, identity, desire and time. How does God help us to overcome these in order to make a difference in the world? Paul shows us a path in Colossians 4:2-6.
Pray. Act. Speak.

How can we share our faith graciously and freely? *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.
