The Final Word

Christ Chapel Bible Church — Mon, 04 May 2026 11:03:57 -0500

Jesus is the filter and final word. When studying Scripture, it is important to anchor in truth and see it through the lens of Jesus. When Nehemiah returns to Jerusalem, he confronts sin, addressing issues such as relationships and the Sabbath. Looking at these topics, we can draw truth from the life and words of Jesus.

Joy in God Alone

Christ Chapel Bible Church — Mon, 20 Apr 2026 10:21:40 -0500

Joy is found in God Alone. God causes the Israelites to have joy and commit themselves to joyous praise. He teaches them where to locate their joy and how to have joy that isn’t based on feelings or circumstances but based on an everlasting relationship with Him.

God’s Way

Christ Chapel Bible Church — Mon, 13 Apr 2026 09:17:41 -0500

The people of God decide that they want to make a covenant(a promise to God) and they want to do life differently. They want to handle relationships, resources, and work God’s way. In this message we learn how to make God the center of everything.

Christ Chapel Bible Church — Sun, 12 Apr 2026 06:51:20 -0500

Easter Sunday! We continue in our series in Nehemiah and then connect it to the death and resurrection of Jesus. The people of Israel confess who they are, who God is and they appropriately respond. The Gospel(good news) of Jesus also dictates and appropriate response!

Turning Back to God

Christ Chapel Bible Church — Sun, 29 Mar 2026 20:16:22 -0500

Servant Leader vs. Selfish Leader

Christ Chapel Bible Church — Sun, 08 Mar 2026 10:00:00 -0500

Christ Chapel Bible Church — Mon, 09 Feb 2026 09:24:08 -0600

How to Live a Remarkable Life

Christ Chapel Bible Church — Mon, 02 Feb 2026 12:44:00 -0600

Upside Down Kingdom | Mark 4:1-20

Christ Chapel Bible Church — Sun, 29 Sep 2024 12:25:46 -0500

Today, we study Mark 4:1-20 as Jesus tells a parable and then gives us an explanation. In this parable, Jesus sows the seed (the Word of God) and we discover if we have the heart soil to hear and see the Word of God and then put it into practice so it can grow deep roots into our lives.

Upside Down Kingdom | Mark 2:23-28/3:1-4

Christ Chapel Bible Church — Sun, 22 Sep 2024 12:18:10 -0500

In this message we study two major events that happen on the Sabbath. Jesus’ disciples will pick heads of grain and Jesus will heal a man’s withered hand. The religious leaders of the day are furious but Jesus uses these moments of opposition as opportunity’s to teach about Gods heart and intentions for the Sabbath. This leads to a greater understanding of the intentions and heart of God for all of humanity.

Upside Down Kingdom | Mark 2:1-12

Christ Chapel Bible Church — Sun, 15 Sep 2024 12:38:25 -0500

Today we study Mark 2:1-12 as Jesus heals a paralytic man and forgives his sins through His authority. We identify 4 different people groups in this passage and determine who we may identify with. The 1. Scribes who are offended by Jesus’ authority, 2. The Friends who are banking on Jesus’ authority, 3. The Crowd who is intrigued by Jesus’ Authority and 4. The Paralytic who is desperate for Jesus’ authority. Who are you as it relates to Jesus’ authority?

Upside Down Kingdom | Mark 1:16-20

Christ Chapel Bible Church — Mon, 09 Sep 2024 12:21:53 -0500

In this message we study Mark 1:16-20 primarily and Jesus’ early invitation to His first disciples. In a message entitled, “The Anatomy of the Invitation” we answer 2 major questions: 1. Who is Jesus inviting, and 2. What is He inviting them too?

Upside Down Kingdom | Mark 1:9-13

Christ Chapel Bible Church — Mon, 02 Sep 2024 12:08:02 -0500

What is the mark of a follower of Jesus? Nathan answers this question as we study Mark 1:9-13. Through Jesus’ baptism, temptation in the wilderness, and first proclamation we learn that the mark of a follower of Jesus is 1. A life of repentance, 2. A life filled with the Spirit and 3. A life filled with the Word of God.

Upside Down Kingdom | Mark 1:1-8

Christ Chapel Bible Church — Mon, 26 Aug 2024 14:30:30 -0500

Welcome Back! In the first message of the year, Ben, one of our Pastors opened up our new series walking through the Gospel According to Mark. Simultaneously, through Mark 1:1-8 we learned what kind of ministry we aim to be: 1. We are to be messengers that point to Jesus, 2. We aim to live and call others to live righteously, 3. We want to cultivate community that brings people closer to Jesus, 4. We believe our lives should look different in God’s Upside Down Kingdom and 5. We believe that life change happens by the power of the Holy Spirit.

Kingdom Without The King | 2 Samuel

Christ Chapel Bible Church — Sun, 05 May 2024 15:36:04 -0500

In a day and age where culture is shaped by positive mantras like "you do you", "live your truth", and others that seem to offer hope and fulfillment, we are becoming an incredibly self-absorbed people. Truth be told, there is actually nothing more disintegrating to the human soul. But if having a positive mindset isn't the fix-all, then what is? Lets dial into this last segment of 2 Samuel and hear what Nathan unpacks!

Christian Community | Panel Discussion | 04-28-2024

Christ Chapel Bible Church — Sun, 28 Apr 2024 14:07:13 -0500

What is biblical community? Why is it so valuable? What does biblical community tangibly look like and how does it look different than the world? These are all but some of intentional questions that are asked and answered today in this panel discussion. Listen in to Nathan, Amy, and Ben as they unpack the deep richness of Christian community.

All In Poured Out | 2 Samuel

Christ Chapel Bible Church — Sun, 21 Apr 2024 12:48:12 -0500

Have you ever received a gift where the value of the gift wasn't actually the gift itself, but rather that someone took note of something you had said and went to great lengths get it for you? Today we look at a moment like this in David's story but with the stakes raised. Queue in with us as Ryan McCarthy unpacks this story but highlights the sweetness of Jesus and His Gospel.

Rhythms of Remembrance | 2 Samuel

Christ Chapel Bible Church — Mon, 15 Apr 2024 09:39:20 -0500

The chronic tendency of humanity is forgetfulness. We feel it everyday as we drift from distraction to next immediate distraction and get tunnel vision to where all we see is the next thing in front of us, often forgetting the day before. The remedy of our forgetfulness is mentioned all throughout the Bible as 'remember'. Listen in today as we look 2 Samuel 22 and observe this problem of forgetfulness and remedy it with rhythms of remembrance.

Reconciliation of a Divided Heart | 2 Samuel

Christ Chapel Bible Church — Sun, 07 Apr 2024 16:31:06 -0500

Jumping back into our 2 Samuel series this week, we see the division of the Kingdom of Israel in the wake of Absalom's uprising. From what happens in this segment of Scripture we can come to grips the danger and damage that can come from out of divisiveness not only in our lives but the lives of others. What then triggers divisiveness so it can be avoided? Or how is it resolved in reconciliation? Let's hear what God's word has to say about it all!

Newness of Life

Christ Chapel Bible Church — Sun, 31 Mar 2024 13:39:24 -0500

How do we know Jesus was real? Even more so, how can we know that he actually rose from the dead and came back to life? The resurrection was something that has never happened before, yet it is the very thing that Christianity's faith, hope, and eternity hinges on. Today, on this Easter Sunday, we dive into the credibility of the resurrection and look at the implications in the case of it being true and see how it changes everything.

Faith in the Promised Provision and Future | 2 Samuel

Christ Chapel Bible Church — Sun, 24 Mar 2024 16:37:17 -0500

Have you ever had someone give you something that you were so sure it would come through that you based other things around it? Today in 2 Samuel, we are going to get to see David operate in this way and observe how he responds when it seems like all the walls are falling in around him. Our challenge is to see our circumstances in light of who God is, what He's done, and what that means for our future.

Panel Discussion | 03/03/2024

Christ Chapel Bible Church — Sun, 03 Mar 2024 16:55:57 -0600

Listen in on a panel discussion with Amy Foster, Ben Fuqua, and Kendall Reed as they discuss and unpack the events of 2 Samuel 13, and what Hope & Healing look like for those who have been affected by other people’s sin.

Model of Repentance | 2 Samuel

Christ Chapel Bible Church — Sun, 25 Feb 2024 15:43:32 -0600

Today we take an intentional and appropriate detour from our 2 Samuel series to jump into Psalm 51. Last week, we saw some pretty bad moral failings on David's part and Nathan rebuking him. This week, we take a peak behind the curtain of David's personal relationship with God and see how he considers God's grace and power in light of his sin. From this we get a true model of repentance that we should align our hearts and lives to everyday.

Disaster from Deception and Kindness for Repentance | 2 Samuel

Christ Chapel Bible Church — Sun, 18 Feb 2024 17:12:21 -0600

We hear stories of renowned people that many look up to or maybe have had a personal impact on our lives, have deep and secret sin that are hidden until it all ends in disaster. While in the shock of the moment we think to ourselves, "How could they do that?" However, if we're honest with ourselves, the more appropriate question we should be asking is, "How do I know that's not going to be me?" As we continue in our 2 Samuel series, we look at the moral failings of a beloved king in light of the timeless truth of God's kindness that leads all of us to repentance.

Q&A Panel Discussion | 02-11-2024

Christ Chapel Bible Church — Sun, 11 Feb 2024 14:04:00 -0600

Why is it important to be a part of a local church? Why should I read my Bible? How do we walk out of a sin pattern or a habitual sin? Why is sexual sin harmful? These are all questions that we as a ministry are often asked or are brought up in conversations with others. With that, We wanted to take the time this Sunday to press pause on our 2 Samuel series to get into the weeds on some of these topics with a couple of our most trusted and loved staff members from Christ Chapel.

Seat at the Table | 2 Samuel

Christ Chapel Bible Church — Sun, 04 Feb 2024 14:04:35 -0600

Today in 2 Samuel 9 we read about Mephibosheth being called to eat at the table of King David. In this story we not only see an unworthy man called up to sit and reside alongside the king from long ago, but an invitation to ourselves from God himself today. Listen in as this story drops us in the very same seat of Mephiboseth and we wrestle with the question of "How do I know that I have a relationship with Jesus?"

Grace, Salvation, and Humility | 2 Samuel

Christ Chapel Bible Church — Sun, 28 Jan 2024 14:17:34 -0600

Today in 2 Samuel 7, we see that God has designed a biblical reaction and given us a template by which is appropriate on how we ought to respond to his blessings–namely His grace for our salvation. When we come in contact with God by way of personal relationship with Him, we recognize the magnitude of His sovereign character as well as the immensity of His kindness to us that should illicit a correct response from us... Humility.

The Holiness of God and Our Shameless Living | 2 Samuel

Christ Chapel Bible Church — Sun, 21 Jan 2024 16:21:47 -0600

As we continue in our study of 2 Samuel we look at King David's response to a hard moment that puts God in right view of his true holiness. A truth we further unpack today is that until we see the holiness of God, rightly and accurately, and understand the relationship between God's perfect being and our imperfect lives, we will never be free of shame. Queue in with us today as we unpack this story and better understand our own brokenness in light of a loving God.

No Kingdom Can Tolerate Two Kings | 2 Samuel

Christ Chapel Bible Church — Sun, 10 Dec 2023 17:52:22 -0600

As we continue the story of the kingdom of Israel into our new 2 Samuel sermon series, we look back at the kingdom and it's division between two kings in a civil war. This turmoil that we see in the beginnings of 2 Samuel are maybe resemble some of the pain stake that we feel within ourselves.

How Did We Get Here? | 1 Samuel

Ben Fuqua — Sun, 03 Dec 2023 13:34:24 -0600

How do we live a life that when we grow up that we don't look back and regretfully ask ourselves, "How did we get here?" As we finish studying 1 Samuel, we'll look at the whole scope of Saul's life as a long string of sowing bad thoughts, ideas, choices and him reaping further and further foolishness. Looking at Saul's life we can note some practical wisdom in everyday life, but even more so, have confidence in the faith we have in the Gospel of Jesus.

A Name Above All | 1 Samuel

Christ Chapel Bible Church — Sun, 12 Nov 2023 14:10:33 -0600

Although common and given to each of us and shared by a wide array of people that are both common and uncommon - names are significant. They hold a deeper meaning by describing not only who we are, but where we've come from. If what our name says a thing or two about us, then what does God's name (or rather names*) say about him? Listen in today as we continue to look at 1 Samuel.

Lessons in the Desert | 1 Samuel

Christ Chapel Bible Church — Wed, 08 Nov 2023 19:24:11 -0600

Hard times in life happen. And more times than not the suffering we feel makes us ask the question of, "What did I do to deserve this?" But what if the suffering we feel isn't always to just break us down but rather to mold us into something more? What if our desert experiences are the holders to the lessons God knows we need. Today listen in as Ryan walks us through the seven chapters of David's desert experience in 1 Samuel.

Do You Love Me? | 1 Samuel

Christ Chapel Bible Church — Sun, 29 Oct 2023 14:29:11 -0500

There's almost no other word that has been more hijacked and devalued than the word, 'love'. The same word we use to tell others about our favorite restaurant is the same word we use to tell someone just how much they mean to us which can lead to major misunderstanding. Very seamlessly, this bleeds into what we believe the Gospel to be and our relationship to it. Today we cover 1 Samuel 18-20 and dial into better understanding what God's word says about 'love' and just how Jesus has loved us.

Our Battle Belonging to the Lord | 1 Samuel

Christ Chapel Bible Church — Sun, 22 Oct 2023 14:21:42 -0500

As we continue through our 1 Samuel series, today we look at a more commonly known story of David and Goliath. When we hear this and see it as an underdog story where we depict ourselves as 'David' and we battle the "Goliaths" of our lives. However, the truth of this passage is so much bigger than that because the battle ultimately belongs to the Lord and the Gospel of Jesus Christ and our responsibility is to trust Him. Listen in as Micah Dettmer unpacks this passage with faithful intentionality.

Worthiness in the Eyes of a Heavenly Father | 1 Samuel

Christ Chapel Bible Church — Sun, 15 Oct 2023 16:45:02 -0500

"Am I worthy enough?" This a question we probably ask ourselves more often than we realize. And most certainly, we ask it when it comes to God. Today as we look at 1 Samuel chapter 16, we'll take a peek behind the curtain and see God's heart in how he chooses the next king to lead Israel. In this we bring to a head in our own lives as we understand and take into consideration how God sees us and what he's chosen to do for us through the Gospel.

Disobedience by Partial Obedience | 1 Samuel

Christ Chapel Bible Church — Sun, 01 Oct 2023 13:57:56 -0500

When the rubber of our desires and anxieties meet the road of our lives, how do we respond? The reality is that when God isn't first in our lives, He rarely remains second, or third, or even remotely comes to mind. Today we look at three different scenes of Saul's kingship in 1 Samuel and draw out truth that helps us better understand for ourselves what true obedience is and in what ways are we partially obedient.

The Way Back from Our Wandering | 1 Samuel

Christ Chapel Bible Church — Sun, 24 Sep 2023 14:56:51 -0500

The reality of our human condition is this: we are all prone to wander. Today we see in 1 Samuel 12 the Israelites becoming aware of their unfaithfulness to God, yet God's faithfulness to them. Based on our proneness to wander and taking truth from this passage we ultimately come to the question of, "How do I come back from this?" Listen today as we hear more about this from Zach and God's word.

The Cautions of Starting Well | 1 Samuel

Christ Chapel Bible Church — Sun, 17 Sep 2023 13:10:28 -0500

Just because something starts off well does not mean it will end well. And often times it's in retrospect that we see everything clearer. But what are those traps to avoid with great starts? How do we avoid them? What does the God's word say about it all? Queue in this week as we look at 1 Samuel with Ryan and take note of Saul's introduction to his reign as Israel's first king.

Our Way Over God's Way | 1 Samuel

Christ Chapel Bible Church — Sun, 10 Sep 2023 15:35:44 -0500

This week we look at 1 Samuel 8:1-22 and make sense of what this passage looks like for us in a modern context. For us to want things besides God and Him graciously letting us have those things, even if it's to our own detriment. How does the Gospel meet us in these moments? What does actual saving faith look like? What are some of the hurdles of today in this? Let's listen in to Ben as he unpacks this for us!

Returning to the Lord | 1 Samuel

Christ Chapel Bible Church — Sun, 03 Sep 2023 14:14:21 -0500

So often we try to manipulate God’s power for our own selfish desire, and we often turn to things like success and status to be our gods, and before you know it we’ve strayed from Him.

Nathan unpacks 1 Samuel 4-7 and encourages with how we return to the Lord.

Blessing in Obedience to God's Word and Way | 1 Samuel

Christ Chapel Bible Church — Sun, 27 Aug 2023 13:52:22 -0500

This week we look at 1 Samuel 2:12-3:21 and take example from Samuel as he is personally called by God in the comparison to Eli's disobedient sons. In this we find ourselves with the personal challenge of laying a foundation that leads to blessing and not destruction.

Faithful Growth from Great Disappointment | 1 Samuel

Christ Chapel Bible Church — Sun, 20 Aug 2023 14:33:31 -0500

We start off our new series as we dive into the Old Testament by going through 1 Samuel 1-2:11. Listen in and see how God uses a woman's greatest disappointments as an opportunity for growth in her faith as she looks forward to a future perspective with hope. A timeless gospel that changes lives back then and can change yours too!

Call to Community and Invitation to Personal Devotion | James

Christ Chapel Bible Church — Sun, 07 May 2023 16:46:55 -0500

Join us as we close out the book of James. The final eight verses mirror the last several chapters that show us what “faith in action” looks like. A call to community and personal devotion in a life that more often then not, drifts away from Jesus. Be encouraged as we look at actions steps that lead us to more community and more of our Heavenly Father.

Character Traits of God's Kids | James

Christ Chapel Bible Church — Sun, 30 Apr 2023 15:19:46 -0500

James begins his final chapter with some challenging actions steps that come from our identity as God’s kids. Join us as we study the “what” and “how” of Generosity, Patience and Integrity. And remind ourselves of the relationship at the foundation for all our behavior.

The Two Paths | James

Christ Chapel Bible Church — Sun, 23 Apr 2023 14:30:45 -0500

There are two paths that we can take at any given moment of our lives. The 'Hollow Path' or the 'Full Path'. One of utter ruin and the other of eternal rewards. But which path are we walking on? How can we know? Today, Zach walks us through James 4:13-17 and further explains what these two paths are in helping us identify which one we might be walking on.

The War Within | James

Christ Chapel Bible Church — Sun, 16 Apr 2023 17:31:10 -0500

Have you ever had an inner conflict where you feel pulled in two different directions? It's almost as if there are two feelings at odds with one another having a tug-of-war within our own hearts. As we pick up in our sermon series, Nathan walks us through James 4:1-10 and how the Gospel helps us makes sense of this.

The Empty Tomb That Changed Everything

Christ Chapel Bible Church — Mon, 10 Apr 2023 12:08:47 -0500

Was Jesus a real person? And if he was, did he really die on a cross at the hands of the Roman Empire and rise from that death thousands of years ago? On this Easter Sunday, we look at the validity of Jesus' resurrection and how it practically impacts our lives everyday!

Cultivating True Wisdom | James

Christ Chapel Bible Church — Sun, 02 Apr 2023 20:42:30 -0500

If we were to take inventory, we would see that there are a lot of voices and influences speaking into our lives. But the tension is that all of them seem to claim to be the path experiential freedom, joy, and peace. So, then how can we tell the difference between each of them? What is true wisdom and what isn't? We see the answer reveal itself today as we look at James 3:13-18.

Taming the Tongue | James

Christ Chapel Bible Church — Sun, 26 Mar 2023 15:38:35 -0500

Sometimes the words we say can cause the most irreparable damage to others, even if it's unintentional. In James chapter 3 we see a warning and caution of how the tongue and it's inability to be tamed can be dangerous. That one of the smallest and seemingly harmless parts of ourselves can actually bring destruction through the words we say. But what else does the Bible say about the tongue and what do we do about it? That's what Robert unpacks for us as we look at this subject in the book of James and see how the Gospel of Jesus Christ changes all of it.

Inseparable Faith and Works | James

Christ Chapel Bible Church — Sun, 05 Mar 2023 14:39:40 -0600

James says faith without works is dead, which seems pretty harsh at first.
But in James 2:14-26, James makes it clear that faith and works are inseparable. You cannot have one without the other, and neither is authentic on its own. Works flow from our faith, and our faith fuels our work. Tune in as Nathan unpacks this reality and why it matter for us as followers of Jesus.

The Problem of Partiality in the Church | James

Christ Chapel Bible Church — Sun, 26 Feb 2023 17:24:38 -0600

Partiality is a topic that most likely not a lot of us talk about in our everyday conversations either because we simply don’t know what it is or we don’t see what can from it. The unfortunate reality of having an attitude of personal favoritism dismantles the deep unity that God desires for us, at the expense of someone’s own shallow benefit.

This Sunday we’re getting into the first thirteen verses of chapter two in James and looking at what God’s word says about partiality, why it’s a problem, and what we’re supposed to do about it.

The Hearer and Doer of God's Word | James

Christ Chapel Bible Church — Sun, 19 Feb 2023 17:07:10 -0600

The Bible tells us that we should not only be "hearers" of God's word, but "doers" of his word. That it's simply not enough for someone to hear a message or listen to a truth articulated, but to be changed by it and charged to do it. But what do our lives start to look like when we find ourselves to be more like "hearers" than "doers"? What beliefs or notions move us into being more of a "hearer" and less of a "doer"? Today Ben walks through James 1:19-27 and helps us better understand how the Gospel informs this concept as well as gives us handles on how to apply this to our everyday lives.

Finding Purpose in Trials and Temptation | James

Christ Chapel Bible Church — Sun, 12 Feb 2023 19:12:10 -0600

“How do I resist the temptation in my life?”
Generally, when faced with trials, we are often tempted to take the easy and painless way out instead of making the hard right decision. So how do we resist that urge? Where does temptation come from? Where does it lead?
These are the questions Asher helps us answer in James 1:12-18.

The Imperishable Perspective of Eternal Hope | James

Christ Chapel Bible Church — Sun, 05 Feb 2023 16:32:35 -0600

Often, the things we take pride in are all things that are typically going to fade away in the end.
So, what would look like to take pride in something eternal, that will never perish or fade away? How different would you live your life if you rejoiced and hoped in things eternal?
That’s what James 1:9-11 answers. Tune in as Nathan unpacks these three verses and invites us to put what James teaches into practice.

What is Wisdom and How Do We Get it? | James

Christ Chapel Bible Church — Sun, 29 Jan 2023 14:47:04 -0600

"How do I know that I'm making the right decision?"
This a question that plagues our lives as we live day to day as we try to create clarity and certainty for our futures. In James 1:5-8, Ben answers and unpacks the questions of what wisdom is (and is not) and looks at what wisdom lived out in our lives can be.

Joy in the Trials | James

Christ Chapel Bible Church — Sun, 22 Jan 2023 16:00:04 -0600

As we begin the book of James we see immediately a life changing perspective, that shapes how we are to see and approach the hard things in our life. Join us as we study and apply the “what and how” of new lenses to see trials through and ultimately we see the “WHO” behind the hope we have.

Broken People Loved by a Perfect God

Christ Chapel Bible Church — Sun, 15 Jan 2023 20:00:00 -0600

We believe that we are broken, imperfect people in desperate need of a Savior. And we also believe we have a perfect God who steps into our stories and shows up in real ways and who loves us despite our brokenness and imperfections.

But that’s not the end of the story… He also invites us into new life, something better than our brokenness.

We believe that we are broken people who have been changed and made new by the gospel and are continually being changed by the love, truth, and forgiveness of Jesus.

Boasting in Christ Alone | Galatians

Christ Chapel Bible Church — Sun, 11 Dec 2022 15:40:22 -0600

What do we boast in? Because what we boast in or about shows what we ultimately put our trust in. What does it mean to boast in Christ? We can rest confidently in what Christ has done because it changes everything about how we live. As we wrap up the book of Galatians, Paul reminds us that Christ is the only thing worth boasting in. The challenge of these final verse is that we would rest confidently in what Christ has done and how that has changed everything about how we live.

Together in Spirit-Filled Community | Galatians

Christ Chapel Bible Church — Sun, 04 Dec 2022 14:49:59 -0600

What is Spirit-filled community? More over, what does it mean to be a part of Spirit-filled community? The reality is that the flesh always wanting to preserve itself by elevating its needs over the needs of others. However, the Spirit is always interested in the needs of others before its own. Sowing to the Spirit can be difficult, but there is a promise that you'll of reaping a harvest of good if you don't give up. Asher expounds and explains Galatians 6:1-10 and shows us what this can look like in everyday life and how we can practically turn away from sowing to the flesh and actively participate in a Spirit-filled community.

Overwhelming Gratitude in All That God Has Done

Christ Chapel Bible Church — Sun, 13 Nov 2022 15:37:38 -0600

The idea of 'thanksgiving' is a consistent theme throughout both the Old and New Testament. That 'thanksgiving' is the acknowledging of what is right about God in praise and giving thanks to Him. When we look at our own lives and recognized our innate brokenness we begin to see how truly good God is in all He does. Then thankfulness and gratitude become our only right responses in praising Him.

Walking By and With The Spirit | Galatians

Christ Chapel Bible Church — Sun, 06 Nov 2022 12:40:24 -0600

What does it mean when the Bible says, "Walk by the Spirit"? This is something that sounds good and we can all nod our heads at, but what does this actually look like? The fact of the matter is that we either walk in the flesh or by the Spirit, and our lives usually show which is one true for ourselves. Nathan makes sense of Galatians 5:16-26 and details how this truth plays out in our everyday lives.

Christian Life as a Relationship with Jesus | Galatians

Christ Chapel Bible Church — Sun, 30 Oct 2022 13:08:23 -0500

The Christian life is about a relationship with Jesus. A relationship that should change everything about our lives because of how Jesus loves us. Zach breaks down Galatians 5:2-15 and practically shows us what it looks like to be changed by having a rich and genuine relationship with Jesus Christ.

The Fullness of Freedom | Galatians

Christ Chapel Bible Church — Sun, 23 Oct 2022 15:41:42 -0500

As we continue through Galatians, we see the sweet truth that God has made Himself known to us so that we may no longer be bound by the burdens that enslave us everyday. Rather, we get to experience the fullness of freedom found in Christ Jesus through the power of His Spirit.

Unity in Adoption of God | Galatians

Christ Chapel Bible Church — Sun, 02 Oct 2022 15:10:23 -0500

In Galatians 3:26-4:7, Paul shows us that those who are “in Christ” are adopted by the Father. And this adoption is something that we are challenged to walk confidently in, rather than revert back to our old lives of slavery to the world. We are also shown how unity with our father should produce unity with our siblings (other believers). We hope your are challenged and encouraged by this unbelievable grace and truth we are called to live out.

Purpose of the Law & Life through God's Promises | Galatians

Christ Chapel Bible Church — Sun, 25 Sep 2022 15:33:03 -0500

Why did God create a strict, rules-driven law after making a promise to rescue His people? Was it God going back on His covenant promise and suggesting we have to hold up our end of the deal with Him to be redeemed?

Continuing in Galatians Chapter 3, Nathan helps us make sense of how God's promise to Abraham and the purpose of the Law tie together and show us that Christ is the primary recipient of God’s promise and the ultimate fulfillment of the law, and through faith in Christ we also become recipients of that promise.

The Spirit of God as Evidence of Our Faith | Galatians

Christ Chapel Bible Church — Sun, 18 Sep 2022 17:26:12 -0500

In Galatians 3:1-14, Paul continues to call the church to return to faith in Christ alone. 2000 years later the challenge to stay focused on Christ and Christ alone is still a headline issue for the church. We can take comfort in the reality that through Christ we have been sent a helper, the Holy Spirit, who is an evidence of our justification by faith and an advocate to submit our hearts to the only king worthy of our lives. Listen in as Ben unpacks this reality and what it can look like played out in our lives.

Living by Faith in the Gospel | Galatians

Christ Chapel Bible Church — Sun, 11 Sep 2022 14:52:53 -0500

There's life in a relationship with the God that has been made accessible to us through faith in Jesus Christ. A reality because of the Gospel that should change our lives. So, what does it mean to actually live out the gospel, or to live in faith? Tune in as Nathan unpacks Galatians 2:11-21 to help answer the the question of how we live in light of the good news that Jesus died in our place and then walked out of the grave.

The Path and Source of Approval | Galatians

Christ Chapel Bible Church — Wed, 07 Sep 2022 16:39:34 -0500

We are all hardwired with the desire to be approved of by others. So often we look to the wrong sources for that approval. We look to things that are temporary and fleeting and it leaves us empty. Or perhaps we have the right focus on where our approval must ultimately come from but we just don’t know how to get it. Queue in as we dive into Paul’s exhortation and reminder of where our confidence comes from and how free and full God’s approval is, when we are in Christ.

The Realities of the Gospel | Galatians

Christ Chapel Bible Church — Sun, 28 Aug 2022 11:21:04 -0500

In Galatians 1:6-9, we get a glimpse of an issue that the church in Galatia had that begs the question: What is the Gospel? The truth is, it's a Historical and Theological reality that changes everything about our lives. Because of who Jesus Christ is and what he's done we may have life and life abundantly.

Grace, Peace and the Gospel | Galatians

Christ Chapel Bible Church — Sun, 21 Aug 2022 14:08:43 -0500

Grace and Peace- although it seems to be a common first century greeting, these two words are what, like the Galatians, we need but have an inability to produce in our might. With our identities found in the Gospel, we can have grace and peace in all times and in any circumstances. Listen to Ben as he unpacks Galatians 1:1-5 and how it impacts who we are.

God's Calling to Abide

Christ Chapel Bible Church — Sun, 01 May 2022 21:17:17 -0500

Throughout Jesus' ministry, he was calling people to something better. He was calling them to follow Him. What does it take to follow Jesus every day? It's all about abiding. What's that and how do I do it? Find out as Nathan unpacks John 15:1-11. As we head into summer break or life after graduation, this is the one challenge we want to leave you with in hopes that you allow God to continue to do what He started in your spiritual life this year!

The Who, Why and How of God's Calling

Christ Chapel Bible Church — Sun, 24 Apr 2022 17:02:30 -0500

Jesus did some pretty bold things within the cultural context of His earthly ministry. One of those bold things was to hang out with sinners like crooked government officials – the tax collectors. And He didn't just hang around them because He liked their company; Jesus was calling them to something better. He was calling them to follow Him. What does it mean to follow Jesus? Who is He calling, and to what end? If you've ever struggled with God's calling to "follow," you'll want to join us for this 2-part series on the who, how, why and what of following Jesus.

3 Things We Get Wrong about the Gospel of Jesus

Christ Chapel Bible Church — Sun, 17 Apr 2022 12:27:58 -0500

It's not just once a year that we need to be reminded of what really happened on the cross; it's a weekly, daily miracle of mercy. And what did Jesus actually pay for in His death, burial and resurrection? It wasn't to hand us a list of rules to help us modify our behavior. It wasn't to teach us to pray to Him for transactional graces. And it wasn't even to build a church of happy people to belong to. It was for something far more simple and meaningful to each of us: It was to do something radical, calling us to surrender ... to follow Him. What will you do?

Anxiety: The Three "Soils" to Avoid

Christ Chapel Bible Church — Sun, 10 Apr 2022 11:06:18 -0500

We can all agree now that anxiety exists, it's real, it's rooted primarily in feelings, and we don't want to be ruled by it. But now what? What do we do? Join Ben as he wraps up this mini series on anxiety and encourages us toward some practical steps in facing feelings with truth, and what that can look like in our lives today.

Anxiety: The Lies We Believe

Christ Chapel Bible Church — Sun, 03 Apr 2022 11:23:36 -0500

Anxiety is pervasive. We believe everyone struggles with it, but we don't believe there's a quick fix. Last week we talked about three areas that anxiety can grow in (brokenness in the world around us, in our bodies and minds, and in our relationship with the Lord). Today we're zooming in on that category of brokenness in our relationship with the Lord. There are narratives that play in our head that fuel this sin in our lives. Join in on this piece of the conversation as we continue to unpack our struggle with anxiety.

Anxiety: Where It Comes From and What to Do With It

Christ Chapel Bible Church — Sun, 27 Mar 2022 12:44:45 -0500

Anxiety is something that affects just about everyone. Whether it’s paralyzing fear, or nervousness and stress that you just can’t seem to shake at times, the Bible has a lot to say about it. Join us the next three weeks for a special series where we dig deep into the origins of anxiety and the freedoms we can find from it.

Un-Stuck: Navigating the Mountains and Valleys of Life

Christ Chapel Bible Church — Sun, 20 Mar 2022 21:16:30 -0500

We all get stuck in various places along life's journey. Let's clear up some misunderstandings about faith and grace when we feel stuck in a valley ... or even stuck on a righteous mountain.

Maybe the way grace plays out in the lives of people around you seems unfair. Or what if you're trapped feeling damaged, and fall into numbness? Or you choose shame because you feel you've gone too far for grace to be applied.

But God reveals His actual standards to us in His Word, that we are all dead in our sins and mistakes, and can be saved only by grace through faith—not things we do to earn it! Join Ben as he teaches from several examples of people throughout the Bible, and shares how Jesus can be the answer for everywhere we feel stuck.

Accepted at My Worst

Christ Chapel Bible Church — Sun, 27 Feb 2022 12:54:01 -0600

If people saw me at my worst, would they still accept me? Everyone struggles. We are all walking through something — doing things we don't want to, yet struggling to somehow live our best lives in front of others. The good news is that our darkness isn't too much for grace of the God who made the universe to forgive! How? Join Robert as he unpacks one of the most powerful stories of redemption in John 8:2-11.

Who Will Lead You? | Hebrews

Christ Chapel Bible Church — Sun, 20 Feb 2022 12:28:05 -0600

We all come from some kind of brokenness or a broken story, and we are all looking for someone to lead us out of those stories and into a better future. So the question is, who will lead you? God's desire is to lead us into a life of peace and wholeness; a life of truth, love and forgiveness. Are you following Jesus? If you're following Jesus, are you drifting? Join Nathan as he wraps up our study of the book of Hebrews and leaves us with a final encouragement.

Easy Topics like Friends, Sex and Money | Hebrews

Christ Chapel Bible Church — Sun, 13 Feb 2022 12:33:29 -0600

As the writer of Hebrews closes his letter, we are reminded of several encouragements toward christian love through the lenses of hospitality, honoring one another in romantic relationships and finding true contentment in what we have. Are you inclusive and loving of strangers the same way you are with your friends? Do you appropriately respect the gift of sex? Do you always need something else, or are you content with what you have? Don't miss the way Ben unpacks these three big things in our context today.

Enrolled in Heaven | Hebrews

Christ Chapel Bible Church — Sun, 06 Feb 2022 12:45:17 -0600

Sometimes we see the God of the Bible as someone so unapproachably holy that we can't fathom ever belonging in Heaven with Him for eternity. But did you know God eagerly awaits our response to His call to be in His family no matter what we've done — AND still remains holier than we can imagine? Perhaps you've never understood the real offer of Jesus as our mediator, and how you can belong with a God who is supposed to be full of grace but is still righteously judging all of our transgressions.

Hear Asher's teaching on Hebrews 12:18-29 and the important distinctions that the writer of this passage makes between the historic view of God from Mt. Sinai and the offer God makes through Jesus paying for our sins and calling us to a future ("Mt. Zion")!

When Life Gets Tiring | Hebrews

Christ Chapel Bible Church — Sun, 30 Jan 2022 12:43:35 -0600

The christian life is a "race" that is difficult. This passage of Hebrews encourages us to not grow weary. If you're struggling with escapism or throwing in the towel, or your tempted to dig in and solve life's problems on your own by over-fixating on the burden, you need a gentle reminder that you're a child of the God of the universe. Join Nathan as he exhorts us in "grit" (fighting the flesh) and community (depth in our relationships).

What is Faith? - Part 2 | Hebrews

Christ Chapel Bible Church — Sun, 23 Jan 2022 11:04:48 -0600

Ben's back with part 2 of this faith-defining passage of the New Testament, Hebrews 11:17-12:2, which helps us define what faith is in the face of the things faith isn't. It's a beautiful picture of how we can have confidence, peace, conviction and action as faith-filled people of God. Last week we learned from the stories of Noah, Abraham and Sarah. This week we add the stories of Joseph and Moses to Abraham's legacy.

Here are some of our take-aways concerning faith through this passage's references of these storylines:

Faith is not blindly affirming Christianity for the hope of blessing and favor; but faith is confidence in a God you can't fully see yet.
Faith is not positive self-talk to make yourself feel more happy or less anxious; but faith is resting in promises that you realize you may never see this side of eternity.
Faith is not doing moral things to earn credits with the "afterlife judge;" but faith is living your life in a relationship with an almighty, yet personal God.

Sound like something you'd like to talk about? We'd love for you to find out more about our ministry at: www.christchapelcollege.org

What is Faith? - Part 1 | Hebrews

Christ Chapel Bible Church — Sun, 16 Jan 2022 10:44:56 -0600

God's people are saved by grace through faith; so therefore faith is this important thing that activates God's good grace in our life. Are we people of faith? And are we really growing? The best chapter in the New Testament to define "faith" is chapter 11 of Hebrews, which is what Ben unpacks in this part 1 sermon. Faith isn't in how good we can act as a person, but in how perfect Jesus is. It's this conviction and confidence (which we don't always tangibly see) that Jesus is the perfect, approachable glory of God in the world. He's better than anything! Jump into this overview of Hebrews 11:1-16 and learn how we can have confidence, peace, conviction and action as faith-filled people of God.

Staying Near | Hebrews

Christ Chapel Bible Church — Sun, 12 Dec 2021 11:11:57 -0600

We've talked about what it looks like to draw near to a perfect God, but what does it look like to STAY near? Join us as Robert unpacks the second half of Hebrews chapter 10 and the idea of Jesus, the High Priest, as someone who keeps His promises even when you feel forgotten. This is the context of hope: looking into the future with a promise in your mind from someone who was and is trustworthy.

Drawing Near to Jesus | Hebrews

Christ Chapel Bible Church — Sun, 05 Dec 2021 23:07:20 -0600

This past semester we've been going through the book of Hebrews, and there's a consistent theme that we can draw near to Jesus with confidence. But what does that mean? How do we do that? What are the reasons we don't? Maybe it's because we have a distorted view of who God is. Maybe we think He's not empathetic. Or maybe we aren't confident we can go to Him in all our shame and guilt. We got to have a discussion with two incredible people (Amy Foster and Ryan McCarthy) who unpack these questions and invite us into a bigger, better, more abundant version of God. A God who we can draw near to in confidence despite our shame, our guilt, our hurt and brokenness. A God who draws near to us to redeem and restore our lives and stories.

An Explanation of the Holy Spirit | Hebrews

Christ Chapel Bible Church — Sun, 14 Nov 2021 11:15:23 -0600

In Chapter 8 of Hebrews we are reminded that the New Covenant is better. What makes it better? One ingredient is the arrival of the Holy Spirit as a gift to the people of God! Join us as Ben explores the role of God's Spirit and how we as His followers are called to cultivate it as a part of the Christian life.

Jesus as the Better Priest | Hebrews

Christ Chapel Bible Church — Sun, 07 Nov 2021 10:51:54 -0600

When we easily look to systems as the answer or to find fulfillment, we've got to remember that God gave us the answer in Jesus. Join us as we unpack Hebrews chapter 7 and look at how Jesus is our best and only option for life and life abundantly.

Promises | Hebrews

Christ Chapel Bible Church — Mon, 01 Nov 2021 13:57:24 -0500

We are really bad at keeping the commitments we make, and there's no wonder as to why because broken promises seem to be the theme of our lives. From big things like divorces that wreck our lives to little failures like overcommitting ourselves to our friends, we get jaded to the permanence of an oath or promise. The book of Hebrews speaks to this when the writer references God's big promise to Abraham, one that seemed too far off and impossible. Join Nathan as he unpacks where our hope should be, even in difficult times where we don't fully comprehend the unconditional love of God.

Warning Us to Grow | Hebrews

Christ Chapel Bible Church — Sun, 24 Oct 2021 12:49:24 -0500

In this section of Hebrews, the author gives us a sobering warning to mature in our faith. If we don’t grow and deepen our "roots" we are vulnerable to be pulled away from a God who is gracious and good.

The Approachable Priest | Hebrews

Christ Chapel Bible Church — Sun, 10 Oct 2021 13:02:03 -0500

The Book of Hebrews put a huge emphasis on Jesus being our High Priest but do we know why that’s the greatest news? Join us as we look at our King, look at how to approach Him and deconstruct some of the things that hold us back.

Having an Informed Rest | Hebrews

Christ Chapel Bible Church — Sun, 03 Oct 2021 14:31:08 -0500

If the point of paid time off and unplugging from work on the weekend is to rest, relax and recuperate, then why do we so often come back to everyday life more tired and less rested? Maybe there’s something wrong with how we think about rest and that simply taking a nap, unplugging from work or binge-watching Netflix isn’t all there is to rest.

We see in Hebrews chapter 4 two different—but yet complimentary—kinds of rest, while simultaneously we hear an invitation from Jesus himself to come and rest in Him. Listen to Francis as he encourages us on what rest truly is and what it looks to have it in Hebrews 4:1-11.

Getting Lost | Hebrews

Christ Chapel Bible Church — Sun, 26 Sep 2021 10:53:17 -0500

The author of Hebrews spends chapter 3 diving back into the Old Testament, so we dig deep into the book of Exodus and study how God’s people were set free from slavery ... only to get stuck in the wilderness. In light of these peoples' history of wandering, we ask the question: how we can protect our own hearts today? Listen for encouragement from Ben in Hebrews, chapter 3.

Running with Confidence | Hebrews

Christ Chapel Bible Church — Sun, 19 Sep 2021 10:54:46 -0500

When we tend to think of God as only holy and unreachable, it's good to remember how mindful of and relatable to us He is as well. God knows exactly what kind of mess you're in ... because He's been there, too, as a man who walked this earth and went through the same turmoil that we do today. Why'd God do that? He gave it all to set us free from things like shame, guilt, anxiety and fear. And not only is He the liberator, but He is also faithful to the end. Listen to Nathan's message on Hebrews 2:8-18 for some encouragement on how to run with confidence to Jesus!

For the song Brett wrote about rest and sang live at the end of this sermon, check out this album on Spotify. See you next week!

The "Finished and Complete" Grace of Jesus | Hebrews

Christ Chapel Bible Church — Sun, 05 Sep 2021 11:12:52 -0500

Somehow the mind-blowing characteristics of Jesus have something to do with TCU fans who leave a blowout win early. Our first dive into this great letter written sometime during the latter half of the 1st century, but so relevant to life today, begins to unpack who Jesus is, what He’s done and ultimately what that means for us. We hope this message will encourage you with just how “finished and complete” the grace of God is for you!

Costly But Worth It

This week we look at a single parable of Jesus and unpack the great cost of following Christ ... but also the incredible value that comes from belonging to a good and gracious God!
