The Chapel Fort Wayne

Every religion in the world offers some kind of path for people to earn their way to God. Christianity makes a very different claim. As we continue our series The Cross, we’ll explore what Scripture says about our condition before God and the surprising way He chose to deal with it.

“I’m a good person.” For many, that’s the reason they believe they’re heaven bound, but if we’re honest, while there may be millions of people worse than us, there are also millions who are clearly more righteous. So how could we ever be sure we’re on the right side of the measuring stick? And if being good enough were possible, why did Jesus have to die? In our new series, The Cross, we fix our eyes on the defining moment of human history. Pastor Brandon will help us discover that salvation is not achieved through our righteousness, our goodness, or our merit, but through His righteousness, His payment, and His sacrifice.

What is it that those with an insatiable hunger for God all have in common. They all excel in the art of saying the word no. Join us this Sunday as Pastor Brandon concludes our series on Hungry for God by exploring how to develop the power of no in our lives.

Fasting is often associated with pain, suffering, and remorse. We tend to think of it only in terms of deprivation—denying what our stomachs are screaming for. But that’s not the whole picture. Join us this Sunday as Pastor Brandon continues our conversation on fasting by exploring Jesus’ longest teaching on the subject.

Many of us know what it looks like to say we’re sorry, yet still feel stuck in the same patterns of sin. In a culture that offers superficial change, the Bible calls us to something deeper: true repentance that transforms the heart. In Hungry for God, this week we will explore how fasting and repentance work together to awaken us from spiritual numbness, deepen our dependence on the Holy Spirit, and lead us back to a gracious God who is ready to restore all who return to Him.

In a world that teaches us to satisfy every craving instantly, the Bible invites us into a different kind of hunger. Throughout Scripture, God’s people fast to deepen their desire for Him. In our series, Hungry for God, Pastor Brandon will help us rediscover fasting as a life-giving spiritual discipline that sharpens our prayers, humbles our hearts, and reorients our lives around God’s presence and purposes. Whether fasting is familiar or foreign to you, this series will help you learn how to hunger for God.

If we’re honest, instead of thinking “How much can I give,” many of us are probably guilty of the mindset of “How little can I give?” Yet at the same time, all of us want to be grateful and generous, so how much should we give? Join us this Sunday as Pastor Brandon continues our Leverage conversation by addressing the question: How Much?

Being a generous person is not the only thing God looks at when it comes to our wealth. The Pharisees were very generous and yet Jesus condemned them. So, what was it about their giving that was so offensive? Join us this Sunday as Pastor Brandon discusses the importance of not only the “how come” but also the “how to."

Money is a topic that seems to be in the “mind your own business” category these days. Even Christians can slip into a mindset that asks not how much can I give but rather how little can I get by with. After all, no one wants less of it. So why has money become such a sensitive, personal subject—one that so easily leads to discomfort or even offense? It’s an important question, especially when we consider that Jesus had no hesitation in talking about it. He knew our approach to money was not just a reflection of our hearts but also a key part of His Kingdom expanding. In our new series Leverage, Pastor Brandon will explore the biblical call to generosity by discussing the how come, how to, how much, and how many of biblical stewardship.

This weekend, our Humble King series comes to a close. Throughout the Christmas story, we’ve seen that humility isn’t weakness—it’s the very heart of God. From the manger to the cross, Jesus chose the low road so we could be lifted up. Don’t miss this final message in a series that has called us to worship not just the baby in the manger, but the risen King who reigns forever.
