The Chapel Fort Wayne

Ever had a disagreement where you were able to get in the perfect last word? Maybe you walked away feeling justified, or maybe it didn’t go as you had hoped? This week’s minor prophet finds himself in an argument with God that he tries to win with a “mic drop” moment. Join us this week to find out who has the last word.

It’s the least read book in the entire Bible, with no quotations in the New Testament, and no prophecies regarding the coming Messiah. So why would we bother reading the book that is already the least read book in the entire Bible? Join us this Sunday as Pastor Brandon shares the relevance of the small but mighty book of Obadiah.

One of the qualities of a godly person and a great nation is when justice is valued. It was in 1963 that Dr. Martin Luther King quoted the book of Amos in his famous “I Have a Dream” speech when he said, “We will not be satisfied until justice rolls down like waters and righteousness like a mighty stream.” Join us this Sunday as Pastor Brandon discusses how we can be a people and nation that fulfills this message through the prophet Amos.

In our new series, we learned that there are scrolls we have skipped that deserve a second look. This Sunday Pastor Brandon explores the dynamic pictures laid out by the prophet Joel where he shares the details and response needed from us concerning the coming day of the Lord.

If you did a survey on the least read section of the Bible, you would find that the answer is the Minor Prophets. In fact, according to Bible Gateway, of the ten least read books in the Bible, six of them are found in the Minor Prophets section. So what’s the reason to read through these twelve scrolls that we so often skip? This Sunday Pastor Brandon will lead us to discover that these words from God are not only inspired by Him, but they paint a picture of God’s character, humanity’s sinfulness, and a future hope that is still relevant for us today.

Many people reach out to God seeking direction and answers, only to be met with silence. We can be left with doubt, wonder, and confusion. What if the true problem is not God’s voice, but something within our own life? Join us for this Sunday’s message as we must challenge ourselves to ask the question, “How have I been listening to God’s voice?”

There are many areas of our lives that give us joy, whether it be our spouse, kids, career, or leisure. But life has a way of teaching us that none of these baskets can be the source of our ultimate joy. When we put all our joy eggs in these smaller baskets, we find over time that they are supported with unstable foundations, eventually fall over, and make a mess of our lives. But these baskets were never meant to be the source of our joy but rather placed in the larger basket. Join us this weekend as Pastor Mike concludes our series.

Approximately one third of our lives are spent working, which translates to over 90,000 hours over a lifetime. Not only is that, but many of us find our identity in our work and achievements, and when the career basket falls over at some point in our lives, it can create quite a mess. Join us this Sunday as Pastor Brandon discusses Paul’s perspective on how he views his own resume in relation to a relationship with Jesus.

There are few things in this world that we want to get right more than our desire to raise our kids the right way. Join us this Mother’s Day as Pastor Brandon discusses where the greatest joy is found in this gift we call parenting and kids. 

Welcome to The Chapel Podcast! We recognize that 60 minutes on a Sunday morning is not enough to share all that we’d like in our announcements and sermons, so we’ve created this space in order to further conversations, make connections, and provide clarity.

In this episode, we sit down with Reese Will, The Chapel’s High School Pastor, to hear his story—from growing up in Fort Wayne to a pivotal senior-year faith transformation, and yes, even a goose heist in college. Reese opens up about his journey from studying Scripture without truly knowing Jesus to answering God’s call into full-time ministry. He shares about the power of authenticity in leadership, his passion for high school ministry, and how God is building a generation hungry for truth. Oh, and you’ll definitely want to hear how “Khaki” and “Cringe” became part of his testimony.
