Sermons on Division
The Order of the Towel
Selfish ambition can be the downfall of both church and society. The antidote to selfish ambition and vain conceit is humility, something our society might consider weakness. Moving from a self-centered life to an others-centered life involves risk, commitment, vulnerability, and trust. *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.
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.
From Loneliness to Love
Thanks to a three-year Tri-demic of coronavirus, political divisiveness, and racial pain, we find ourselves more isolated, more wary, and more protective than ever when it comes to relationships. But you can’t be a disciple or make a disciple alone; on an island. You have to be IN RELATIONSHIP. *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 Way of Togetherness
Life may be slowly returning to normal, but experts say that many of us still feel like we’re stuck, not living as well or as happily as we want. We’re stuck languishing. How will we find our way to “flourishing” as we emerge into the new normal? *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.

How?… 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.
Serpents and Doves
How do I decide who to vote for? How can I have political conversations without blowing up my relationships?

Another Mile
The past year has been filled with tension and strife. Everything that has happened on a national scale is affecting us all on a personal level as well. Is there something we could do as a church and as individuals that would enable God to help us bring healing to our places of work, our schools and our homes?
