Lane Brown @ Chandler Street

December fills up fast. Calendars get crowded. Schedules get packed. And without meaning to, Jesus often ends up with whatever space is left. The Christmas story tells us there was no room in Bethlehem. Not because people rejected Jesus, but because life was already full. That same pattern still shapes our lives today. In this message, Make Room for Jesus , we explore: • Why busyness and hurry cro...

We all get stuck sometimes—spiritually, emotionally, or even in life’s routines. Paul knew that struggle. In Philippians 3, he admits he hasn’t arrived but keeps pressing forward toward Christ. This message explores what it means to follow Jesus when it’s easier to coast. You’ll see how Paul’s determination, humility, and hope point us to a life shaped by the cross. Together, we’ll learn how to st...

We all chase success. Promotions, degrees, recognition, even ministry milestones. But what happens when those very blessings start replacing the grace that gave them meaning?

What once looked like gain—status, achievements, control—becomes loss next to the surpassi...

What does it mean to live “worthy of the gospel of Christ”? In Philippians 1:27–2:4 and Acts 16:13–34, Paul gives us a vision of the church pressing upward in faith and going outward in mission. From Lydia’s open home to the jailer’s midnight baptism, we see how the Spirit creates unity across differences, gives humility that serves others, and strengthens us with courage in the face of opposition...

What does it mean to be sent by Jesus? In Luke 10, seventy-two ordinary followers — not apostles, not spiritual elites — were sent out with a mission: to pray, to listen, to eat, to serve, and to share. And when they returned, they came back with joy. This message explores the BLESS rhythm — Begin with Prayer, Listen with Care, Eat Together, Serve with Love, and Share Your Story — and how Chandler...

On Teachers Appreciation Sunday, we honor the quiet heroes who shape the next generation — our children’s Bible class teachers. From Deuteronomy’s call to “impress God’s Word on our children” to Jesus’ command to “let the little children come,” this sermon casts a bold vision: it takes a whole church to raise a child in Christ. Whether you teach, greet, rock a baby in the nursery, or simply show k...

What kind of church will we be—a stagnant oxbow lake cut off from God’s Spirit, or a steady river of blessing that keeps flowing? In this sermon, Blessed To Be A Blessing , we look at the Antioch church in Acts 11 and see how God uses ordinary believers to spark extraordinary mission. Antioch was a young church, scattered by persecution, yet they crossed boundaries, stayed grounded in the Word, an...

The first Christians did not just preach the resurrection. They lived it. Acts 4:32–37 shows a Spirit-filled community where believers were of one heart and soul.

This sermon explores what it means to be a resurrection-shaped church today. How can we move be...

T...
