Unbelievable: In Search of the Real Jesus

As part of our exploration of a strategic partnership with Grace Chapel in Lexington, Christ’s Church is featuring Grace’s “Unbelievable” sermon series, a series on doubt and faith. In this third message, Pastor Bryan Wilkerson opens up about a time of serious doubt in his own faith journey. A significant part of coming through that season of doubt were four lines of evidence he discovered through an intense study of the historical evidence for Jesus, which he shares here.

Unbelievable: Smart People, Big Ideas, and a Better Story

As part of our exploration of a strategic partnership with Grace Chapel in Lexington, Christ’s Church is featuring Grace’s “Unbelievable” sermon series, a series on doubt and faith. In this second message, Pastor Bryan Wilkerson contrasts the basic Christian worldview about the universe, morality, and God with that of the “new atheists” such as Richard Dawkins, Sam Harris and Steven Pinker.

Unbelievable: Beyond a Reasonable Doubt

As part of our exploration of a strategic partnership with Grace Chapel in Lexington, Christ’s Church is featuring Grace’s “Unbelievable” sermon series, a series on doubt and faith.

Revelation 1, Mark 5, 2 Corinthians 2, James 2. Elder John Owen explores the calling that followers of Jesus have to take an active role in reconciling people to God, and offers some helpful ways to think about and engage with those we have the opportunity to share Jesus with.

Book of Acts: Law and Grace

Acts 15. In this chapter a great debate comes to a head in the Jerusalem council, do the Gentiles need to convert to Judaism to be saved? If not, then what requirements are placed on them? Dale Kuehne shares his personal list of 6 guiding points, not specific laws, that help him to pursue a life of holiness and remain centered in the mission Christ.

Book of Acts: Live As If the Promises are True

Acts 14. There was nothing supernatural about Paul and Barnabas. How did they heal a man who couldn’t walk, or preach boldly in the face of persecution? They lived as if God’s promises were true (because they are), and His power was made available to them as they trusted Him to accomplish His purposes and fulfill His promises.

Believing God for More Than We Can Imagine

Ephesians 3 and Hebrews 11. Guest speaker Burke Rentz encourages us to trust God for more than just the small things, and to consider what might be hindering us from walking in those greater possibilities.

Reaching for Jesus

Text: Mark 5. Guest speaker Gordon MacDonald digs deep into the story of the woman who was healed after secretly touching Jesus’ cloak. How many of us recognize our desperation for Jesus in all matters of life? Do we have the faith to expectantly reach for Him in our need? Are we offering this life-changing encounter with Jesus to others?

I Opened Doors

Mark 5. Guest speaker Gordon MacDonald. Jesus opened a door in the life of a hopeless man, abandoned by everyone else. We too are called to be door openers in the lives of others.
