We’ll focus on three sections of the first line, “Our Father,” then “who art in heaven,” and “hallowed be thy name.” What did Jesus mean by these phrases? Through us, people see God, our Father who is in heaven, holy and good, present and real. In your life, are you hallowing God’s name? What do others know of God by watching you? Key Scripture: Matthew 6:9-13 (NIV)

We’ll begin this series with an introduction to the Lord’s Prayer and the disciple’s request, “Lord, teach us to pray.” How do we integrate prayer (including the Lord’s prayer) into our daily lives (consider ora et labora) to shape us and through us, the world. Provide tools for praying the Lord’s pray throughout Lent (see NT Wright). Luke 11:1; Matthew 6:9-13 (NIV/NLT)

Some people change the atmosphere just by walking into a room. But what happens when God walks in? In Ezekiel 43, after 20 years of silence, God's glory returns to the temple, bringing hope, renewal, and life—just like a river making a barren wasteland flourish. As followers of Jesus, we’re called to do the same. 🌿 Are you bringing life to the spaces you enter? Want to make an impact? Join our fo...

Vision makes us come alive. Ezekiel’s vision of the dry bones coming to life symbolizes the power of God’s Spirit to bring new life to what seems dead and hopeless. God provides vision that revives us. And so what is the vision for our personal lives that we pursue? What about our community? Vision requires a compelling vision and then the need to inspire people to pursue it (Kotter).

Many have deconstructed their faith, left religion, or the church behind. To some, it feels irrelevant, outdated, and for some involves trauma and hurt. What if the problem isn’t belief, but how religion has been practiced. Most churches worry about budgets and growth; but Jesus influenced and cast compelling vision. What kind of faith would draw people to Jesus and to the church? This sermon will...

Modern science, advances in technology, and quality of life have enabled us to live longer. Many fear growing older, or worse, death. There’s a fascination with medical science that prolongs life. Still, every one of us will die. Caring for aging parents is also a challenge and worry that we’ll honor loved ones. C.S. Lewis said that what we believe about death and the afterlife will fundamentally...

Theme: Consider how generations view work/life balance. The question of meaning and purpose and how our work connects to our faith is something each generation must consider. For younger people, finding meaning and purpose in work is important. It’s also important mid-career and at retirement and after. Along the way, financial questions come up—do I have enough, will I ever get to retire, cost of...

Raising Up the Next Generation by Grace Chapel Sermon Media

Many agree that we’re in the middle of a mental health crisis. Today, people experience increasing loneliness, isolation, and anxiety. We shouldn’t dismiss anxiety, mental health is not due to a lack of faith, treatment and professionals provide helpful pathways. God understands our anxiety and wants to help. A less anxious life is the byproduct of having a mission in life greater than the self. K...

Focus on the digital age and how different generations relate to the rapidly changing world of technology. This sermon will consider how screens and technology impact younger and older generations. While there exist amazing tools in technology, such as AI and our phone-based apps, these also apply unique pressures to our lives and feeds into an anxious age.

Transformed, not Conformed by Grace Chapel Sermon Media

Romans 10:9-13, 11:25-26, 28-29 If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved. As Scripture says, “Anyone who believes in him will never be put to shame.” For there is no difference betwe...

Paul writes some of the most beloved words of scripture, “Nothing can separate us from God’s love in Christ Jesus.” In Paul’s day, their was tension between fulfilling the law and the freedom found in Christ’s love. Do we follow the law? How does Jesus fulfill the law? Paul describes how Christ fulfilled the law and sets a new covenant. We struggle with the desire to do what is right and good, but...

How are we justified in faith? What does Jesus death on the cross mean for us. In this sermon we'll understand that Jesus made grace visible.
