Sermons on History (Page 4)
Really: Is Jesus Good for the World?
Matthew 4. This message explores many of the ways Jesus is REALLY good for the world. But the way Jesus wants to change the world is not by force, but by invitation…Jesus will never be as good as he could be for the world when his followers remain unwilling to change. *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.
Really: The Legend of Jesus?
Guest speaker Tim Ghali begins our new series, Really?!? In this message Tim explores our doubts and tensions concerning the historicity of Jesus. We ask if the story of Jesus, as people like Bill Maher would have us believe, is a plagiarized legend taken from other ancient near east cultures… *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.
Traces of Promise: The Good Shepherd
Sometimes the Shepherd metaphor is lost on many of us…unless our occupation involves livestock. But it is one of the most important images used in all of scripture to describe God’s care for His people. In this message we explore the promises of God to come Himself to shepherd His people and discover that Jesus is the ultimate fulfillment of that promise. *Listen at the beginning of the message as Pastor Bryan mentions Christ’s Church and our developing strategic partnership.
Traces of Promise: The Tension Gap
Genesis 12. We all face tension gaps in our lives- expectations or promises that don’t turn out how we want or that we’re still waiting on. In this message, Dave Ripper (Campus Pastor @ Grace Chapel) walks us through the life of Abraham and the tension gaps he experienced, highlighting the traces of Jesus we find along the way.
Unbelievable: A Beautiful Faith
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 fourth and final message of the series, Pastor Robert Frazier explores the concept of beauty and why we as humans recognize and enjoy beautiful things and have longings for the broken things of the world to be restored. Is Christianity a faith that brings beauty and positive transformation into the world?
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: 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. In this first of four messages, Pastor Bryan Wilkerson looks at the resurrection of Jesus from the perspective of the disciple Thomas (doubting Thomas), as well as many modern day examples of reasonable people who have come to believe based on evidence and experience.
Book of Acts: Whoever it Was That Brought Me Here Will Have to Take Me Home
Acts 13-14. Dale Kuehne explores why the gentiles in Pisidian would have been so drawn to the message Paul shared. How can we share the gospel like that today? The song by Martyn Joseph shared during this message, “Whoever it was that brought me here…” can be found at the following link: https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/whoever-it-was-that-brought/id384144810
Book of Acts: Reaching the Whole City
Acts 13. Paul and Barnabas conducted themselves in such a way that almost entire city gathered to hear them. What will it take for us to reach the “whoie” city” where we reside?
Advent in Isaiah: We’re All in it Together
Joshua 24, Judges 2, Isaiah 6. Dr. Dale Kuehne emphasizes the collective responsibility that we have as followers of God, not just for the present, but for the past and future as well. In Isaiah we see that though the prophet’s words will be ignored by his generation, he must still be faithful to deliver God’s message. These words will be discovered by a future generation who will need them to recognize the Messiah.
