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

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.

Taken, Blessed, Broken and Given
Ecclesiastes 3 and Matthew 26. Pastor Dale shares a message about staying centered in Christ in the midst of brokenness and tragedy.
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 we pray for something that we don’t really believe God can do? 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?
