Many people reach out to God seeking direction and answers, only to be met with silence. We can be left with doubt, wonder, and confusion. What if the true problem is not God's voice, but something within our own life? Join us for this Sunday's message as we must challenge ourselves to ask the question, “How have I been listening to God's voice?”
There are many areas of our lives that give us joy, whether it be our spouse, kids, career, or leisure. But life has a way of teaching us that none of these baskets can be the source of our ultimate joy. When we put all our joy eggs in these smaller baskets, we find over time that they are supported with unstable foundations, eventually fall over, and make a mess of our lives. But these baskets were never meant to be the source of our joy but rather placed in the larger basket. Join us this weekend as Pastor Mike concludes our series.
Approximately one third of our lives are spent working, which translates to over 90,000 hours over a lifetime. Not only is that, but many of us find our identity in our work and achievements, and when the career basket falls over at some point in our lives, it can create quite a mess. Join us this Sunday as Pastor Brandon discusses Paul's perspective on how he views his own resume in relation to a relationship with Jesus.
There are few things in this world that we want to get right more than our desire to raise our kids the right way. Join us this Mother's Day as Pastor Brandon discusses where the greatest joy is found in this gift we call parenting and kids.
Welcome to The Chapel Podcast! We recognize that 60 minutes on a Sunday morning is not enough to share all that we'd like in our announcements and sermons, so we've created this space in order to further conversations, make connections, and provide clarity.In this episode, we sit down with Reese Will, The Chapel's High School Pastor, to hear his story—from growing up in Fort Wayne to a pivotal senior-year faith transformation, and yes, even a goose heist in college. Reese opens up about his journey from studying Scripture without truly knowing Jesus to answering God's call into full-time ministry. He shares about the power of authenticity in leadership, his passion for high school ministry, and how God is building a generation hungry for truth. Oh, and you'll definitely want to hear how “Khaki” and “Cringe” became part of his testimony.

We typically think of the Resurrection of Jesus as something that only has a past and a future attached to it. It was in the past that he rose from the dead and it is in the future that we will rise with Him. But what does the Resurrection have to do with today? This Easter weekend, Pastor Brandon shares that the Resurrection provides a past validity, a future inevitability, but also a present vitality. Watch all of our Easter Baptism on YouTube at TheChapelFW.
There is quite a bit of interest in the second coming of Jesus. This future historical event will usher in the Kingdom of God in its totality, but the events leading up to it were not what his disciples were expecting. In fact, it begs the question, what are you expecting? Join us this Palm Sunday as Pastor Brandon shares Jesus' details on the Great Tribulation and what that has to do with us today.
Most of us would admit we could grow in our prayer life—but what if the problem isn't just how often we pray, but how we pray? The disciples concluded that the secret behind Jesus' incredible life was His life of prayer! This week, Pastor Mike continues our series by showing how Jesus modeled a kind of prayer that starts not with our needs, but with adoration. It's a shift in focus—from us to God—and it just might change the way you pray.

Every great story has a villain, and it's important for us to realize that this has its origins in a greater story. The Christian faith holds that our story has a Great Enemy whose sole focus is the destruction of the Kingdom of God by destroying the faith and future of His followers. But the good news is we know his tactics…or do we? Join us this Sunday as Pastor Brandon shows how Jesus clarified for us the way to fight back against the schemes of the enemy.

How do we respond when Jesus changes our lives? Join us this Sunday as we continue our series, How Great Thou Art: Experiencing the Kingdom of Jesus, exploring powerful encounters that transformed lives forever. This week, we'll look at a group of outcasts whose desperate prayers were answered—and how their responses reveal the power of gratitude.
What comes to mind if someone were to accuse you of being childish? For some of us it could come across as an accusation of immaturity, yet perhaps others might be complemented by the innocence and sweetness of that stage of life. Yet when Jesus taught his disciples on how we might enter the Kingdom of God, he stressed that it required us to be more like children. But how? Join us this Sunday as Pastor Brandon discusses what Jesus meant when he said only those of a childlike faith will enter the Kingdom of God.
What is greatness? In our culture today, greatness is allotted to those who exhibit extraordinary talent, hold high positions, or wield tremendous power. But in the Kingdom of God, Jesus provides another definition. Join us this Sunday as Pastor Brandon shares how the key to true greatness is tied to our understanding of seats and cups.
Most of us believe that the purpose of experiencing Jesus is to believe in him so that we will go to heaven at the end of our lives. Although that is a part of his mission, if that's all we look for in a relationship with Jesus, we will miss out on the fuller purpose: to see his kingdom here on earth. In our series “How Great Thou Art,” we will highlight the greatness of Jesus and how he gave us a taste of his kingdom that is here and is still yet to come.

We all grew up hearing the phrase, “Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me.” Has there been a bigger lie? It didn't take us long to realize that there is great power in our words, which have the power to either build people up or tear them down. Join us this Sunday as Pastor Brandon concludes our series on the necessity of watching our words and how best to use them.
Conflicts with others can be compared to icy relationships but also burning infernos where we have the possibility to make things better or worse. Join us this Sunday as Pastor Brandon shares that in our challenging relationships, each of us has a bucket of water and a bucket of gas.
Difficult people are everywhere. It probably wouldn't take you too long to think of who they are in your own life: from a difficult coworker to the passive-aggressive friend, from the distant spouse to your exhausting child. So, what are we to do: ignore them, confront them, shun them? In our new series “Defrost,” we will explore how the agents of love, forgiveness, and our words have the power to thaw even the iciest of relationships.

One of the deepest and most profound questions throughout time has been “Who am I?” So often we allow that question to be answered by other people, our own thoughts and feelings, or even our experiences. In some cases that may work out just fine, but what if we've accepted an identity that God does not have for us? Join us this Sunday as Pastor Brandon dives into the life-altering discovery of who God says we are.
