Sermons on Discipleship
Forgiving Your Enemies is Good for Your Soul
Common things like nature, travel, and even ice cream can bring us an appreciation for God and spiritual rest. They are good for the soul. But as crazy as it might sound, could an uncommon, seemingly impossible command from Jesus to love our enemies be the same? It just so happens that Jesus’ teaching on loving our enemies wasn’t just a command, it was also an invitation to experience personal well-being.
Fire Pits are Good for Your Soul
Settings like gathering around a fire pit are good for your soul because they create an environment for human connection, and when we connect with humans we connect with God. *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.
GIfts for the Mission
Jesus calls us to a new life, clothes us in Himself, commissions us with a purpose and empowers us to fulfill that purpose. Guest speaker Bill Ferrin.
Faithfulness for the World
We all have special responsibilities and roles we are called to fulfill. But sometimes when something doesn’t go as expected—especially when we lose something—it’s tough to keep going. Is there a life that can be enjoyed when so much in our lives can be taken away? And can that life be good for those around us too? Revelation 13 sheds some light on that.
A Church for the world
Which “love” had the Ephesian church forsaken – their love for God, their love for one another, or their love for the world? Maybe it was all three! Pastor Bryan also shares his decision to transition out of the senior pastor role, and offers a vision for Grace Chapel’s next season. *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 Resurrection and the Life
Have you ever felt like God was passing you by on the way to someone else? Chances are if you’ve ever watched God bless your friends but have unanswered prayers of your own, you’ve felt overlooked by God. It turns out, as the story of Lazarus reveals, sometimes God is working with our story behind the scenes in ways we would have never imagined.
Enough
This special creative monologue follows Philip the disciple, from the time he met Jesus as a fisherman all the way through till he finds himself back in Galilee after the resurrection. Jesus’ declaration that he is the way, the truth, and the life means that he is enough – all that we need, and more. *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…
The Bread of Life
C. S. Lewis said: “If we find ourselves with a desire that nothing in this world can satisfy, the most probable explanation is that we were made for another world.” If that’s true, could the desire that’s meant to be satisfied in another world be tasted and experienced in the present? And could we experience that kind of life every day? That’s the question Jesus answers in one of his most controversial messages found in John 6:25-71.
The Gate
Jesus is the GATE. Knowing Jesus, belonging to Jesus, believing in Jesus, is the way in. As long as you KNOW him, and are known BY him, it doesn’t matter what else you know, or have achieved. He WAVES you in, because he KNOWS you. *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 Light of the World
If Jesus is the Light of the World, my world is brighter when he’s in it. Light reveals things, Light produces life, Light conquers darkness. If Jesus has brightened your world, it’s time to let that light shine. *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 True Vine
Unconditional love is one of the most prized and beautiful virtues. It gives life to those who receive it and life to those who give it. It’s also substituted for easy alternatives like people-pleasing. And there is no truth, joy and life in any of that. So when people-pleasing threatens to prevent us from enjoying love as it was meant to be, how can we mind the kind of love that gives us life? A message from the life of…
The Good Shepherd
Because Jesus is a Good Shepherd, we can trust Him with our whole lives, and the life to come. *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.
