Sermons from 2023
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?
Peace in Conflict
Promises of future peace abound but our present conflicts persist, causing tension in daily interactions and personal relationships. How can the love of Christ reshape our affections, reorient our priorities, and bring a transformative perspective in order to bring a little bit of that future peace into the present? Join us in exploring 2 Corinthians 5 as we delve into Paul’s profound theology of reconciliation.
Sowing Seeds of Grace
Join us as we take a look at the history & legacy of CCA asking will God provide all that you need to sow generously? Do you see miraculous growth and an abundant harvest?
Adventurosity
Most people love the idea of becoming more generous. But putting generosity into practice is easier said than done when so many of us are short on time and money. How can our gifts, both of our money and of our time, become a grace not just to others but a transformative gift to our own souls? Discover how genuine love, rooted in Christ, transforms our fears, uncertainties, and comforts into an adventurous journey of “adventurosity.”
From Past Regrets to New Beginning
New beginnings give us an opportunity to start fresh, make new friends and bring new energy into our lives. But how do we begin something new when our hearts and minds are so easily drawn to what went wrong in the past? How can we overcome regret to enter into what God has for us next?

Letting Go
Change is supposed to be a part of life. But that doesn’t mean letting go of what came before is easy. And matters only get worse when whatever is next fails to meet our expectations. How can we navigate change and enjoy what’s next when it’s so hard to let go? It turns out that one of the most mysterious books of the Bible, Ecclesiastes, sheds some light on that question.
Embracing Change
When we embrace change with courage and faith, we discover God to be the same here, there, and everywhere in between. *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.
Forgiving Your Enemies is Good for Your Soul
Common things like nature, travel, and even ice cream can bring us an appreciation for God and spiritual rest. They are good for the soul. But as crazy as it might sound, could an uncommon, seemingly impossible command from Jesus to love our enemies be the same? It just so happens that Jesus’ teaching on loving our enemies wasn’t just a command, it was also an invitation to experience personal well-being.
Fire Pits are Good for Your Soul
Settings like gathering around a fire pit are good for your soul because they create an environment for human connection, and when we connect with humans we connect with 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.
