The Chapel Fort Wayne

If you’ve ever heard the phrase “the safest place is to be in the center of God’s will,” don’t buy it. Often the path of obedience is travelled on the hardest of roads as it was in the Christmas story. Whether it was the Magi, Mary, or Joseph, they all encountered Jesus because they chose what was hard. Join us this Sunday as Pastor Brandon challenges us with the stark reality that tidings of comfort are not always God’s will for our lives.

If someone were to ask you what God was like, what would you say? Perhaps the best answer we can give someone is tied to what Jesus did on Christmas day. Join us this weekend for our Christmas Program as Pastor Brandon shares about how the ultimate exchange speaks volumes about what God’s like. Services are Saturday at 4:30 and 6:00 pm, Sunday at 9:00 and 10:30 am.

Christmas is more than lights, gifts, and celebration—it’s about a Savior who stooped down in love. The beauty of this season is found in Jesus, who laid aside heaven’s glory and took on the form of a servant, humbling Himself to become a man so that we could find true hope. Join us as Pastor Brandon begins our Christmas series, Humble King, where we celebrate not just the birth of a baby, but the example of Jesus—the One who chose the lowest place to rescue the lowest of lows.

Have you noticed that some talents and abilities get noticed and praised but yours don't? What if I told you that’s not completely true? Join us this Sunday as Pastor Brandon dives into how a person’s gifting is not just from the Holy Spirit but what you bring to the table is exactly what God is looking for.

Is there a habit, struggle, or addiction that you just can’t beat even though you want to? This common weight is felt by most, if not all, Christians. Our failed strategy to just try harder can lead to discouragement or worse. Join us this Sunday as Pastor Brandon reveals how the Holy Spirit is there to empower us to overcome even our deepest struggles.

Have you ever wondered how to recognize God’s voice speaking into your life? Some people seem to hear Him so clearly, and yet others struggle to know whether it’s Him or just our own thoughts. Join us this Sunday as Pastor Brandon continues our discussion on the Holy Spirit’s role in speaking to us directly.

Have you ever bought something online and it was never delivered? That disappointment points to a felt belief we all have that what is purchased should be delivered. Join us this Sunday as Pastor Brandon continues our series on the Holy Ghost and His unique role of making sure that we are signed, sealed, and delivered.

“Powerful” isn’t the word most people would use to describe the spiritual life of many churches or Christians today—but in the early church, it certainly was. So what are we missing now that they had then? The answer is found in the misfortune that we’re comfortable talking about God and Jesus, yet often unsure—or even afraid—of what to do with the Spirit. And yet Jesus himself told the disciples it was to their advantage that He go, so the Spirit could come. In our new series, Holy Ghost, we’ll take a closer look at the third Person of the Trinity and discover that what we’ve been missing isn’t something—but Someone.

Over the past several weeks in Asking for a Friend, we’ve explored some of the most challenging questions of the Christian faith—starting with the nature of truth and the tension between science and belief. We examined the reliability of Scripture, the evidence for the resurrection, and wrestled through the reality of suffering and the doctrine of Hell. This week, we close the series with a message on hurt—specifically the kind that can come from within the Church—and how Christ invites us to healing, forgiveness, and a renewed love for His people.

In our culture today, the idea of divine judgment from God is one of Christianity’s most offensive doctrines. The idea of Hell combined with the concept of a loving God seems incompatible. So, should we keep holding onto this long held doctrine or come up with different options? Join us this Sunday as Pastor Brandon discusses the biblical teaching on Hell and whether or not there are other options we can consider.
