The Chapel Fort Wayne

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.

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 comf...

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...

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...

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 messag...

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...

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. Brandon is joined once again by Scott Lasater to do a deeper dive on the topic of suffering.

The number one reason that people struggle with the idea of a loving God is the presence of evil and suffering in the world. The honest truth is that it is a legitimate question. Join us this Sunday as Pastor Brandon shares a powerful story in the book of John where Jesus gently leads us through the different questions we have about the suffering in our lives.

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. Scott Lasater is back this week to talk about the validity and reliability of the Bible.

The resurrection of Jesus is a major historical problem, no matter how you look at it. If it never happened, then Christians are fools, but if it did happen, it is the most important event in human history and demands a response. The question then is, did the resurrection actually happen? Join us for Baptism Sunday as Pastor Brandon discusses the evidence that Christ is risen.

Scott Lasater is back this week to do a deeper dive into the science behind a telescope and how that points to an intelligent creator. 

The reliability of the Bible is under attack today. It is dismissed as God’s Word spoken to us through the objections of supposed contradictions, historical inaccuracies, or poor transmission through the centuries. But do these criticisms actually hold water? This Sunday Pastor Brandon will discuss how the New Testament specifically is not only the most reliable and well preserved ancient document...

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. Scott Lasater is back this week to do a deeper dive into the science behind a microscope and how that points to an intelligent creator. 

Famed atheist Richard Dawkins declared that, “Faith is belief in spite of, even perhaps because of, the lack of evidence” – especially scientific evidence. Since the Enlightenment, the benefits of scientific discovery have also resulted in a belief that since God is not able to be observed or measured, that he does not exist. But is that true? This Sunday Pastor Brandon will discuss how scientific...

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. Today we're joined by Scott Lasater to do a deeper dive into our sermon this past Sunday on Truth.

Waiting is one of the hardest things we experience in life. Not knowing what’s next. Not knowing when answers will come. The temple was rebuilt, and the nation of Israel was waiting for God’s return. What was He waiting for? After the final prophet, Malachi, Israel entered a long silence… waiting. Join us this weekend as we conclude the Scrolls You Skipped, and hear what God is calling us to in th...

Before we conclude our series on the minor prophets, we are excited to welcome our longtime friend, Dr. Luther Whitfield, to deliver the message this Sunday on the major prophet Daniel. Pastor Luther is the founder and senior pastor of New Covenant Worship Center.

We all want to see clearly, but that’s not always guaranteed. If our eyes are nearsighted, we get glasses, but when the future is fuzzy, it can be very discouraging. Join us this Sunday as Pastor Brandon dives into the longest Minor Prophet, Zechariah, who gave visions to a discouraged people through fuzzy images of a hopeful future.
