From Fear and Cynicism to Trust
Trust seems harder to come by these days. We are facing, as a society, a startling lack of trust in each other and in our institutions. And that lack of trust leads to fear and cynicism.

How to begin to trust again in a world that is so often not trustworthy? *Christ’s Church is a strategic partner of Grace Chapel in Lexington, MA and features the teaching of Pastor…
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?

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…

A Tale of Two Kings

The Untidy Aftermath of Christmas
“Before the Prince of Peace had learned to walk and talk, he was a homeless refugee with a price on his head.” – N.T. Wright Have you ever asked yourself, “Is God with me in the mess of my life?” So many stories end with the characters living happily ever after. But what about the Christmas story? What happens to Mary, Joseph, and Jesus in the untidy aftermath of Christmas? Christmas is a true story, a gritty and real story,…
Oh, the Places YOu’ll Go!
Every decision we make in life involves sacrifice and compromise. During a season of increasing uncertainty, how do we make decisions about morally complex issues?
