The Chapel Fort Wayne

Following God into a new season doesn't mean everyone will understand. Sometimes the strongest opposition comes from those closest to us, leaving us to wonder whether we really heard from God. Join us this Sunday as we discover how to respond when opposition gets loud, and why drawing near to God helps us hear His voice above the noise.

One of the most exhilarating moments in life is walking away from a habitual struggle. One of the most discouraging is turning around and heading back to the same old patterns. If you've ever found yourself going back to what you thought you had left behind, join Pastor Brandon this Sunday as he shares two key ways to keep from going back to Egypt.

One of the blessings of living in the Midwest is experiencing the changing seasons. While we may have our favorites, we also look forward to what each new season brings. The same should be true of our walk with God, yet we often resist when He moves us into a new season of life and faith. In our new series, Changing Seasons, we'll journey with Israel through Numbers 10–14, exploring their time between Egypt and the Promised Land and discovering how God calls us to walk faithfully when we find ourselves in the in-between.

Wedding days can feel like pure magic. It's the guest list that can get complicated. Balancing who you want to invite with the cost of hosting them can make for some difficult decisions. But even with an unlimited budget, there would still be limits to the guest list. Why is that? Join us this Sunday as Pastor Brandon concludes our Artificial Relationships series by challenging us to be the Bride of Christ that is inviting to all.

The rise of Artificial Intelligence has been a gift when it comes to efficiency, helping us accomplish more in less time. But at what point does increased efficiency begin to diminish the unique way God designed us to work, serve, and make a difference in this world? Join us this Sunday as Pastor Brandon explores another picture of the church and discovers how God has uniquely gifted each of us to make a real impact.

Relationships are meant to be joyful and fruitful, but they can be hard as well. What is worrisome about past pain is when it tempts us to believe that pulling away from others is the solution. Join us this Sunday as Pastor Brandon continues our series on Artificial Relationships by breaking down how Jesus's picture of us being a fruitful branch leads us to take the risk of intentional relationships.

In a day and age when the lines between what is real and what is fake are increasingly blurred, many people see the church as one of the places where they are least likely to find authenticity. Christians are often characterized as some of the “fakest” people they know, making church feel anything but genuine. But what if gathering for worship was about something far more important than simply attending a service? Join us this Sunday as Pastor Brandon continues our Artificial Relationships series by exploring a deeper reason why we gather for worship in our pursuit of real.

With the rise of Artificial Intelligence, what once existed only in our imaginations is now a reality. While AI can offer quick insight and solutions, it can also pave the way for artificial connections and fake encounters. Join us this Sunday as Pastor Brandon begins our new series, Artificial Relationships, where he will explore how the multi-faceted church is God's solution for people who are searching for something real.

What do you think people think about when they hear your name? Some of you may not care and others of you may lose sleep thinking about that. The end of the book of Colossians is filled with names, some who are giants of the faith, and others hardly mentioned. So why is it important that we read these final sections and know these names? Why not just skip this part and end the series a week early? Who cares about Epaphras? Join us this Sunday as Pastor Brandon finishes our series with a list of names and no names who made a name for themselves by making Christ's name great.

Have you ever walked away from a conversation wishing you had said something different, or better yet, said something at all? Too often, fear, uncertainty, or feeling unprepared keeps us silent. The next time God opens a door for you, what will you do differently? Join us this Sunday as we learn from Colossians 4 how to pray, walk wisely, and speak "seasoned with salt" when the opportunity comes.

Following Jesus is often hardest in the places we spend the most time, like our homes and workplaces. It doesn't take long for our focus to shift to what others do or don't deserve. But what if we're asking the wrong question? Join us this Sunday as Pastor Brandon explores how declaring Jesus as Lord is one thing, but living under His lordship in our everyday relationships is where our faith is truly put into practice.

What does it mean to practically follow Jesus the right way? Christians over the ages have answered that in many different ways, some that have been helpful and others that have added requirements that were never meant to be. Join us this Sunday as Pastor Brandon delves into the end of Colossians 2 where Paul warns us to never add anything to who Christ is and what He has done.

In a world full of different philosophies and teachings, no wonder our heads have a tough time deciphering what is true and what is false. But the Bible is that ultimate clarifier as we are shown that the truth is found in Jesus. Join us this Sunday as Pastor Brandon teaches in Colossians 2 where we gain clarity on who we are in Him.

There is no shortage of opinions on who Jesus is. Everyone has one and there are many different versions. While a pursuit of his true identity is paramount, our response is equally vital. Join us this Sunday as Pastor Brandon shares from Colossians that Jesus can either be of no significance or infinite significance; the only thing he can't be is moderately significant.

In a world full of competing voices telling us who Jesus is and what really matters, the book of Colossians calls us back to what is true and unshakable. Written to believers surrounded by confusion, pressure, and spiritual counterfeits, this letter lifts our eyes to the absolute supremacy and sufficiency of Christ. Join us this Sunday as Pastor Brandon begins our study of Colossians where we learn Jesus is not one option among many; He is before all things, over all things, and enough for all things.

One of the ruts we can get into in our prayer lives is to focus only on physical prayer requests and needs. And God certainly invites us to pray about everything! But why is it so uncommon for Christ-followers to pray for spiritual needs, both in their private prayer lives and when we pray in our groups? This Sunday Pastor Mike will focus on the prayers that the apostle Paul prayed for the church as we learn together how to increase our spiritual praying.

Perhaps the most difficult place to move from ritual to relationship in prayer is when we ask God for something and His answer is no. For many, God's “no” has become a stumbling block in understanding how a loving and all-powerful God works. So why does He sometimes say no? Join us this Sunday as Pastor Brandon explores several reasons God may not answer our prayers the way we expect.

Prayer was never meant to be a rushed ritual or an occasional last resort. If prayer is a rhythm we should have in our lives, how often should we actually pray? Many of us know prayer matters, but still struggle to make it a natural part of our everyday lives. Join us this Sunday as we continue our Prayer series and discover how God invites us into deeper dependence on Him.

We say prayer is powerful, but for many of us it has slowly drifted into the background–becoming rushed, routine, or a last resort in emergencies. Deep down, we want a real relationship with God, but we often approach Him wondering if His response depends on how good we've been or how badly we've failed. In this series, we're going to rediscover prayer not as a ritual to perform, but as a desperate dependence on a Savior who already invites us near. Join us this Sunday for our new series where we seek to be a church of vibrant, thriving, and kingdom-minded prayer.

Over the past generation, we've seen a renewed focus on family. The era of latchkey kids has given way to a cultural shift that's both encouraging and worth examining. After all, when a pendulum swings, it can swing too far. Join us this Sunday as Pastor Brandon concludes our Faith at Home series by exploring the fine line between prioritizing family and unintentionally worshipping it.

What if the very things we intend to do for God are we are actually doing for ourselves? It's possible to look spiritual, say the right things, and still slowly forget the Lord in the rhythms of everyday life. This Sunday we want to move beyond visible faith and into a life where God is truly present in your home, your habits, and your heart. Join us this for this Sunday's message as we near the end of our series Faith @ Home.

The average family spends only 64 minutes a day in direct communication, often broken into four brief 16-minute conversations in the morning, after school or work, around dinner, and at bedtime. Yet studies show that, in most homes, God is rarely part of those conversations. It raises an important question: Can we reclaim these everyday moments, or is it a losing battle? Join us this Sunday as Pastor Brandon shares why these moments not only can be reclaimed, but they must be.

“Don't blink.” It's the sage advice passed down from older generations who have learned just how quickly the years move—from bringing the baby home to watching them walk across a graduation stage, from saying “I do” to becoming empty nesters.

So how do we make the most of the time God has given us as a family?This Sunday, Pastor Brandon begins our new series, Faith at Home, where we'll discover how small, intentional rhythms practiced day after day can shape the people we love and help us build a Christ-centered home before the moments slip away.

Easter is the day Christians celebrate Jesus as Lord, because He was not found where He was last seen. Ironically, the resurrection happened so the same could be said of us. Join us this Saturday at 5 PM or Sunday at 9 AM or 10:30 AM as Pastor Brandon explores the life-changing significance of the angel's words: “He is not here!”

Redemption. Today, the word might make us think of coupons or powerful comeback stories from our favorite movies. But its truest meaning is found in what Jesus accomplished on the cross.
