We Are Chapel

What if the breakthrough you're praying for is already in motion? In Acts 2, the Holy Spirit came suddenly—but that moment had been building for centuries. God's promises often come with three things: a word, a waiting room, and a suddenly. In this message, we'll discover why God's timing rarely matches our expectations, how to remain faithful in seasons of waiting, and what it loo...

Thank you for joining us for this special message from guest speaker John Prominski! Pastor John has faithfully served as the lead pastor of Restore Church in Ionia, Michigan, for nearly three decades. Throughout his ministry, he has been committed to helping people experience the transforming power of Jesus Christ, leading a church centered on restoration, healing, and life change. His passion fo...

Many parents spend years making sure their children are fed, clothed, educated, and protected. All of those things matter. But when your children are grown, there is a good chance they won't remember every meal you cooked, every bill you paid, or every ride you gave them. They will remember how you made them feel about themselves. Every child is asking questions like: Do I matter? Am I loved?...

A lot of people believe in the Holy Spirit… but live like He’s barely involved in their life. Not because they reject Him— but because they’ve never really understood how He relates to them. So He becomes abstract. Distant. Occasional. But in Scripture, the Holy Spirit is not distant at all—He is active, personal, and progressively closer than most people realize. In this message, we unpack what J...

Motherhood looks different in every season of life — but wisdom is always worth sharing. In this conversation, five moms from Christ Chapel sit down to talk honestly about parenting, faith, family, challenges, and what they’ve learned along the way. Whether you’re raising toddlers, parenting teenagers, preparing for motherhood, or looking back on years of experience, we hope these stories encourag...

You can’t raise godly kids without discipline—but not the kind most people think. In Hebrews 12:5–11, we see that discipline is not punishment—it’s proof of love and relationship. God’s discipline shapes us, corrects us, and leads us toward who we’re called to be. And that becomes the model for how we parent. This message challenges different parenting styles—from controlling to passive—and calls...

Parenting isn’t just about getting kids through today—it’s about preparing them for who they are becoming. In this message, special guest speaker and friend of Chapel, Pete Key, takes a look at what it means to keep feeding them—feeding your children vision, identity, and purpose. Because what you give them now shapes who they become later. We talk about the pain of parenting, why discipline and b...

Most parents feel like they need a reset. But God doesn’t call you to start over—He calls you to depend on grace right where you are. In Titus 2:11 –12, we see that grace doesn’t just forgive—it trains, shapes, and strengthens us for everyday life. This message explores the balance between law and grace in parenting. Rules matter, but they can’t change the heart. Grace is what transforms. We look...

Psalm 127 gives a clear picture of what it looks like to build a home with God at the center. Parenting without Him leads to frustration, but when He is the foundation, everything changes. This message reframes how we see children—not as interruptions, but as a gift and responsibility. Kids don’t form themselves. They are shaped over time through what they see, hear, and experience. If we’re not i...

Sin broke everything—but God didn’t leave it that way. In Genesis 3:14 –24, we see the weight of the curse: separation from God, struggle in life, and the reality of death. Humanity couldn’t fix what was broken. The stain of sin remained. But God responds. He pursues us when we hide. He covers what we cannot. And He promises a Savior. This message traces that promise from the garden to the empty t...

The enemy doesn’t usually show up in obvious ways. In Genesis 3, he shows up as a voice. This message walks through the fall in the garden and helps you recognize how Satan still works today. From questioning God’s Word to denying consequences and offering false promises, the same patterns are still at work. Sin is more than a mistake—it is rebellion, guilt, and a break in our relationship with Go...

Why does every place on earth—even the most beautiful—eventually disappoint us? We travel to breathtaking places, walk through stunning landscapes, and experience moments that feel almost perfect… but they never last. Something always fades. Something always breaks. Deep down, it leaves us asking: Wasn’t there supposed to be more than this? In this message, we explore a powerful truth that runs fr...

What happens when the design of something is ignored? Eventually, the system stops working. Genesis tells us that men and women were not created randomly or interchangeably. From the beginning, God formed humanity in His image — equal in worth but distinct in design. When those designs work together, life flourishes. When they are ignored, the results ripple through families, communities, and cult...

Everyone wants a great wedding day. Far fewer prepare for a lifelong covenant. Marriage is one of the most discussed and debated institutions in the world, yet many conversations start in the wrong place. Genesis shows us that marriage didn’t begin with culture, government, or tradition — it began with God. Before sin entered the world, God designed marriage to reflect His love, shape His people,...

What if your worth isn’t something you earn — it’s something you reveal? In a world constantly asking you to prove your value, Genesis gives a radically different answer: your worth was established at creation. You were not randomly assembled. You were intentionally formed by God, made in His image, and designed for His purpose. In this message, we explore what it truly means to be made in the ima...

You are not living in a random universe — you are living in a revelation. Genesis 1 doesn’t begin with an explanation of mechanics. It begins with a declaration: “In the beginning, God created.” Before it answers how, it answers who. And when you get that right, everything else starts to fall into place. In this message, we explore what Genesis 1 reveals about the character of God and the meaning...

Most people don’t have a money problem — they have a vision problem. Before you can build a healthy financial life, you need a clear picture of what God says about money. In this message from Matthew 25, we explore the Parable of the Talents and the key truth behind it: live as a steward, not an owner. This practical teaching walks through five biblical basics for financial health. We talk about c...

What if God isn’t asking for more from you — but asking to be first? In Malachi 3, God addresses a people who haven’t abandoned Him, but have slowly reordered their lives around other priorities. The issue isn’t belief. It’s placement. This message walks through God’s unchanging heart and His invitation to return to Him by putting Him back in first place. Through Scripture and everyday illustratio...

What if the real tension in your finances isn’t about dollars — but devotion? Money touches nearly every part of our lives, shaping our decisions, our stress, and even our relationships. In Matthew 6, Jesus addresses the quiet competition between wealth and worship, reminding us that where our treasure goes, our hearts always follow.

Have you ever tried to build something meaningful with just one LEGO block? It's impossible. That single block, no matter how perfectly crafted, can't create a castle, a car, or anything of significance on its own. It needs other blocks to fulfill its purpose. God designed you the same way. You weren't created to be an isolated individual, scattered in a box with other disconnected pie...

Have you ever watched a hamster running frantically on its wheel? Round and round it goes, expending tremendous energy but never actually getting anywhere. If we're honest, many of us live exactly like that hamster. We wake up, rush through our morning routine, race to work, sprint through our tasks, hurry home, collapse exhausted, and then wake up to do it all over again. Our culture has conv...

Have you ever walked past someone you know and given them a quick nod or wave without stopping to actually connect? It's polite acknowledgment, but it's not relationship. Many of us treat God the same way. We believe in Him, we love Him, we even post about Him on social media, but we've never learned to truly walk with Him. Enoch's story is remarkable not because he was perfect, bu...

Have you ever felt like prayer was more of a chore than a conversation? You're not alone. Even Teresa of Avila, who became a saint, struggled with prayer for twenty years while living in a monastery. Her breakthrough came when she stopped seeing Jesus as just a religious figure and started relating to Him as a real friend. Many of us approach God like He's a distant authority figure - form...

Have you ever stood at the edge of something incredible, knowing that breakthrough was just one step away? The Israelites found themselves in exactly this position at the Jordan River. After 400 years of slavery and 40 years wandering in the wilderness, the Promised Land was finally within reach. Yet God didn't say "charge ahead" - He said "consecrate yourselves." There&#39...

Have you ever felt like life doesn't just pile up on you, but completely dumps on you? One moment you're managing okay, and the next, everything seems to crash down at once. Maybe it's financial stress, relationship problems, health concerns, or work pressures - all hitting simultaneously. You're not alone in feeling overwhelmed. Gideon understood this feeling. When we meet him in...
