The Gate
Jesus is the GATE. Knowing Jesus, belonging to Jesus, believing in Jesus, is the way in. As long as you KNOW him, and are known BY him, it doesn’t matter what else you know, or have achieved. He WAVES you in, because he KNOWS you. *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 Light of the World
If Jesus is the Light of the World, my world is brighter when he’s in it. Light reveals things, Light produces life, Light conquers darkness. If Jesus has brightened your world, it’s time to let that light shine. *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 True Vine
Unconditional love is one of the most prized and beautiful virtues. It gives life to those who receive it and life to those who give it. It’s also substituted for easy alternatives like people-pleasing. And there is no truth, joy and life in any of that. So when people-pleasing threatens to prevent us from enjoying love as it was meant to be, how can we mind the kind of love that gives us life? A message from the life of…
The Good Shepherd
Because Jesus is a Good Shepherd, we can trust Him with our whole lives, and the life to come. *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.
Thoughts and Prayers
When we care for one another in thought, word, and deed, we invite the power and presence of Christ into our lives and community. *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 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 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…
Talk to Me
Given the rise of NEGATIVE communication patterns and habits, we want to LEARN and PRACTICE better ways of communicating with one another – in the church, at home, in the workplace, and online. How do we SPEAK to each other in ways that are LIFE-giving and FAITH-strengthening? *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 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 Time Has Come
New Years’ Day is a day we think about what could be. The year is new. Mark’s gospel begins with Jesus entering the world stage as an adult and proclaiming that the time has come. The kingdom of God has come near. Jesus calls his first disciples, and even though they do not understand what he is calling them to, they follow. Will we take the next step even if we don’t know what the future holds? What is my…
No Words (Christmas Eve Message)
When we have certain expectations and the result goes a different way, we look for a place to put our disappointment and often deflect it onto others. Sometimes, we’ll even blame God. If God is in control, why wouldn’t we expect the world to go a certain way? Bad things happen. So how can we know that God hasn’t let us down? That may be the very question that was on a young teenage girl’s mind as she and her…
