What does it mean to count the cost? People in their right mind would only consider building a new home if they first considered how much it would cost. Likewise, no military general would consider going to war with a bigger and stronger army unless they had a strategic plan. Jesus shared two similar illustrations with the crowds of people coming to him as King Jesus. We invite you to join us this...

If we could talk with those in the time of Jesus, no one would have believed in a Messiah who carried a cross to his own death. In fact, that would have immediately disqualified him as their Savior. But not only was carrying His cross His God-appointed purpose, but it also happens to be ours as well. Join us this Sunday as Pastor Brandon discusses what Jesus meant when he said that those who would...

What does it mean to carry your cross?  As Christians, we have historically struggled with answering what following Jesus looks like. Check out this message from Pastor Brandon introducing our new series and what you can expect as we start our Easter Series, Carry Your Cross! Remember to join us this weekend at 9 & 10:30 AM IN-PERSON or ONLINE on YouTube (@TheChapelFW), www.thechapel.net , or The...

This Sunday is an exciting time in the life of our church as we take time to respond to what God has been speaking to us throughout our Revive series. Join us as Pastor Brandon leads us through a time of response: to believe in Jesus, to pray to the Father, to be led by the Spirit, and to love one another.

The unseen spiritual realm can have a tangible impact on our lives and relationships with others, especially those closest to us. This weekend we welcome our special guest Tim Muehlhoff, a renowned professor of Communication at Biola University, to discuss the importance of understanding spiritual warfare.

You’ve heard it said that people of integrity not only talk the talk but they walk the walk. Join us this weekend as Pastor Brandon walks us through two opposing examples of this in Acts 4 and 5 as we discuss the purity of revival.

Statistics show that less than 10% of Christians have shared their faith with one person in the past year. So why are we so hesitant to share what we believe to be the most important message in the history of mankind? Join us this weekend as Pastor Brandon takes us through Acts 4 where we discover what led to Peter having such boldness and passion to share the gospel.

Our habits reveal what we value. The first church revival included various practices (acts of piety) that transformed their lives as well as their communities. This Sunday, Pastor Mark Goeglein will inspire us to be wholly devoted to the values that will revive our hearts once again. 

The Bible consistently says that an important response to God is to repent, but it’s fair to ask what are we supposed to be repenting of? Join us this Sunday as Pastor Brandon discusses the importance and gift that comes when people repent.

Most people who have gone to church would likely admit that they have a good grasp who God the Father and God the Son is but not so much the Holy Spirit. In fact, we might even confess that we feel a little weird about Him. But in Acts 2 we see that life change and impact is dependent on His power at work in and through us. Join us this Sunday as Pastor Brandon discusses who the Holy Spirit is and...

Preparation is key before a plan can come to fruition. A chrysalis is needed before a butterfly, training comes before competition, and followers of Christ need to pray before revival comes about. This weekend Pastor Brandon will dive into Acts 1:12-26 and discuss how dependent personal and social revival is on God’s people praying. 

If most of us were completely honest with ourselves, we would admit that our spiritual lives could use some revival. This word “revive” simply refers to a restoration and renewal to spiritual life. This begs the question then, “what is God’s plan for revival to take place?” Join Pastor Brandon this Sunday as we dive into God’s plan to renew and restore us spiritually.

This weekend we welcome our special guest speaker, Pastor Luther Whitfield! Pastor Luther is the founder and senior pastor of our sister church, New Covenant Worship Center. He always brings a powerful message and exemplifies what happens when you let the Holy Spirit speak through you.

In place of our weekly devotional, High School Pastor Brandon Butz provides a mid-week boost with further practical applications from his message on leading from weakness this weekend. After watching this video, we guarantee you will be re-energized and ready to finish your week.

In this day and age, there is a misconception that people should be perfect to be declared good leaders worth following. This misguided definition has resulted in a generational curse of putting on a mask of perfection and hiding our flaws from anyone and everyone, including God. Come worship with us as our special guest speaker, High School Pastor Brandon Butz, discusses how Paul shows us how our...

We launch into a new year this Sunday, bringing new hope and time to reflect on the amazing things that God has done in 2022. This weekend Pastor Brandon will have a Q&A session with the most commonly asked questions we received throughout the year. He will also provide a glimpse at the exciting things to come in 2023! This service will be "family-style'', with Sunday School Programming only offer...

Merry Christmas From Our Family to Yours! Tune in from the comfort of your home for our online Christmas Day Service! We will look at one of the most famous passages regarding Jesus’ birth, Luke 2: 8-12. Pajamas and hot cocoa are optional, and we wish you a Merry Christmas!

Join us this Christmas Eve at 4 & 6 PM for our Christmas Eve Services! Our intimate "family-style" service will include Communion, the Christmas Story, a special children's Christmas message, and modern carols for all ages! Gather the family as we celebrate our Savior's birth together. We look forward to seeing you all this weekend, and stay safe!

Join us this Sunday as Pastor Brandon shares how God's love provided an escape plan for Mary Joseph when Herod's malicious intentions were about to unfold and how this this event foreshadowed God's escape plan for us from our sin through his loving sacrifice of Jesus on the cross 30 years later.

Join us Saturday, December 10th, at 4 & 6 PM or Sunday, December 11th, at 9 & 10:30 AM for a unique Christmas program that includes a multigenerational choir comprised of students and adults, a band and orchestra, plus a contemporary dance ensemble! There will also be a video drama and other creative elements that will make this program one that you won’t want to miss! This celebrative worship exp...

Show up early this Sunday as our children’s choir will join our worship team to lead us in singing while Pastor Brandon shares from the birth story of Jesus how the nightmare of public shame can be replaced through peaceful obedience.

The Christmas story could have been a nightmare if the people involved had their way. Joseph would have divorced Mary, the Magi would have reported back to Herod, and Herod would have killed Jesus. But Jesus’ coming reminds us that although humanity can make a mess out of God’s good plans for us, it only takes Jesus to turn our nightmares into dreams. In the initial message of our "Dreaming of Chr...

Most of us would not designate ourselves as being rich, but in comparison to the rest of the world, most of us are. When blessed bountifully, we face the choice to either succumb to temptation and misuse our blessings or see it as an opportunity to do good. This weekend Pastor Brandon discusses the main temptations and opportunities we face when money is plenty.

When money is tight, it makes generosity more sacrificial and potentially feels like more of an obligation. This Sunday, Pastor Brandon explores Paul’s message to the Corinthians on how God takes what we give to others and provides an abundant return.

Money is on everyone’s mind right now. We are either thinking about increased prices, inflation, or interest rates with the reflex to be more fiscally conservative. So how do we go about that? What areas of our finances should we be more cautious? This weekend Pastor Brandon will share how the apostle Paul gives us clear instructions on what to do when money is tight.
