The Chapel Fort Wayne

Do you remember hearing the story of Jack and the Beanstalk as a kid and the fear that filled you when the giant uttered the words, “Fee Fi Fo Fum”? What makes the story so compelling is Jack’s willingness to face the giant rather than run away in fear. But how often do we let fear keep us from experiencing the rest God has promised us? When the Israelites stood on the edge of the Promised Land, their fear of the giants before them kept them from moving forward in faith. Join us this Sunday as Pastor Brandon explores the giants we face in life’s changing seasons and how choosing courage over fear can lead us into the rest God has for us.

New seasons often come with excitement, but they can also bring uncertainty, disappointment, and questions we didn’t expect to face. When God leads us somewhere unfamiliar in a changing season, how do we move forward faithfully without ignoring the realities in front of us? In Numbers 13, Israel stands on the edge of the Promised Land and discovers that following God into what’s next requires both faith and wisdom. Join us this Sunday as Pastor Reese shares what it looks like to faithfully investigate the next season.

Following God into a new season doesn’t mean everyone will understand. Sometimes the strongest opposition comes from those closest to us, leaving us to wonder whether we really heard from God. Join us this Sunday as we discover how to respond when opposition gets loud, and why drawing near to God helps us hear His voice above the noise.

One of the most exhilarating moments in life is walking away from a habitual struggle. One of the most discouraging is turning around and heading back to the same old patterns. If you’ve ever found yourself going back to what you thought you had left behind, join Pastor Brandon this Sunday as he shares two key ways to keep from going back to Egypt.

One of the blessings of living in the Midwest is experiencing the changing seasons. While we may have our favorites, we also look forward to what each new season brings. The same should be true of our walk with God, yet we often resist when He moves us into a new season of life and faith. In our new series, Changing Seasons, we’ll journey with Israel through Numbers 10–14, exploring their time between Egypt and the Promised Land and discovering how God calls us to walk faithfully when we find ourselves in the in-between.

Wedding days can feel like pure magic. It’s the guest list that can get complicated. Balancing who you want to invite with the cost of hosting them can make for some difficult decisions. But even with an unlimited budget, there would still be limits to the guest list. Why is that? Join us this Sunday as Pastor Brandon concludes our Artificial Relationships series by challenging us to be the Bride of Christ that is inviting to all.

The rise of Artificial Intelligence has been a gift when it comes to efficiency, helping us accomplish more in less time. But at what point does increased efficiency begin to diminish the unique way God designed us to work, serve, and make a difference in this world? Join us this Sunday as Pastor Brandon explores another picture of the church and discovers how God has uniquely gifted each of us to make a real impact.

Relationships are meant to be joyful and fruitful, but they can be hard as well. What is worrisome about past pain is when it tempts us to believe that pulling away from others is the solution. Join us this Sunday as Pastor Brandon continues our series on Artificial Relationships by breaking down how Jesus’s picture of us being a fruitful branch leads us to take the risk of intentional relationships.

In a day and age when the lines between what is real and what is fake are increasingly blurred, many people see the church as one of the places where they are least likely to find authenticity. Christians are often characterized as some of the “fakest” people they know, making church feel anything but genuine. But what if gathering for worship was about something far more important than simply attending a service? Join us this Sunday as Pastor Brandon continues our Artificial Relationships series by exploring a deeper reason why we gather for worship in our pursuit of real.

With the rise of Artificial Intelligence, what once existed only in our imaginations is now a reality. While AI can offer quick insight and solutions, it can also pave the way for artificial connections and fake encounters. Join us this Sunday as Pastor Brandon begins our new series, Artificial Relationships, where he will explore how the multi-faceted church is God’s solution for people who are searching for something real.
