Patchwork Peace
Amidst the holiday cheer, the struggle for peaceful moments is real. Whether juggling holiday busyness or feeling a void of a relationship gone awry, the Christmas story promises an otherworldly peace. How can this promised peace be a reality in our lives today?

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.
Messy Mission
Church, like family, can be messy. And as church grows and changes, the mess sometimes gets messier. What’s true in the church is true of all of our relationships. If we can’t avoid the mess of relationships, is there a way that we can write a new story for ourselves and the people around us by confronting our fears in the middle of the mess? It turns out that one of Jesus’ most famous stories from Luke 15 sheds some…
From Insecurity to Hospitality
Insecurity may not be the first thing that comes to mind when we think about the barriers to building and maintaining a healthy community. But how many times do we hesitate to invite people into our homes because we’re afraid our kids will disobey or they won’t like our cooking? How often do we resist talking to new people because we’re worried about saying something silly or maintaining small talk? Hospitality is life-giving and it helps us to be better…

We are all confronted with change, and sometimes that change can be exciting—the offer of a new job, the news that we’re going to be parents. But with change comes the fear of the unfamiliar. What if the best possible offer of change was different than anything we ever knew? How could we overcome the fear of the unknown to receive a better life in the future and certain joy right now? The message of Easter may just hold that…
I Am Not Afriad
Fear abounds in the Christmas story. Fear abounds in our world. But we don’t have to be afraid because God is with us. He’s present. He provides. He protects His promise. What does that feel like? It’s like being held by 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.
Finding Christmas
Long seasons of personal difficulty can make it hard to believe that there is a God who cares for us. But Luke’s telling of the events leading up to Christmas told through common people in Luke 1:5-25 might just suggest that God’s good news isn’t just for the masses—it’s personal too.
Jesus: The Family Man

A Tale of Two Women
Sometimes we all feel bitter and as if God has forgotten us. But, that feeling isn’t unique to us in the 21st century. People in biblical times felt that way too. In one of the sweetest stories in the Bible, the Book of Ruth shows us how God works through our relationships to do something good for us and for the world. *Christ’s Church is a strategic partner of Grace Chapel in Lexington, MA and features the teaching of Pastor…
Life-Changing Loyalty
Jonathan exhibits something in his relationship with David that is very rare in our society today. He is fiercely loyal to David as his friend. The impact of a loyal friend is immeasurable. Who is God calling you to be like a Jonathan to? *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.
