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.

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.

The Most important Question
Why am I here? Who is my soulmate? How can I be successful? These are all valuable questions. But all of them focus on us doing the asking.

Hammond, President of Gordon College, explores our culture’s fixation on identity and how followers of Jesus need to re-center their lives on the most important…
Wisdom for Living
We all know that listening, reading, or hearing someone’s words is not the same thing as DOING what someone says. So why is it that so many of us in the church think that coming to church to hear the word of God is the same thing as doing the word of 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.

On Becoming Butterflies
Whatever else people might want to say about Jesus, the one thing everybody seems to agree on, is that he lived a good and beautiful life. But as remarkable as Jesus’ life was, the more remarkable thing might be that he expected his followers to live equally good and beautiful lives. How is that possible? *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…
From Status to Service
We have all been through change, and while looking at the world around us we often think change is needed. But why? Why do we feel the need for change? And how do we go about working for change?

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.
