What do you do when you find yourself standing at the edge of uncertainty, unsure how to move forward? In this Annual Celebration 2026 message, Pastor Tim Ghali teaches from 2 Kings 2:1–15, where Elijah and Elisha stand at the Jordan River and witness the power of God at work. Through this powerful story of transition, calling, and spiritual empowerment, we are reminded that the same God who parted waters for Moses, Joshua, Elijah, and Elisha is still on the move today. Pastor Tim reflects on a significant year in the life of Grace Chapel — a year marked by transition, challenge, faith, generosity, and God's provision. Through it all, we are invited to trust that God sees us at the riverbank, empowers us for what is ahead, and calls us to join His ongoing work in the world. This message also includes the story of Colin, a reminder that God is still changing lives in unexpected ways through ordinary people who are centered on Jesus.

Do you feel closer to God when you're doing everything right… and farther when you're not? Pastor Blaire Jenkins walks through Colossians 2 and exposes something we don't always see: Whether you follow the rules or reject them… the rules might still be at the center. This message flips the script: You don't earn a relationship with God You don't lose it by failing You receive it through Jesus Freedom doesn't come from trying harder—it comes from trusting what Jesus has already done.

This sermon introduces the 11th rhythm of discipleship at Grace Chapel - the rhythm of multiplying. Mike emphasizes that Jesus' mission wasn't simply to gather comfortable Christians, but to create a movement of disciples who reproduce themselves. Using the metaphor of dominoes, the message illustrates how one small, surrendered life can start a ripple effect that changes the world. The sermon challenges believers to move beyond addition (inviting people to church) to multiplication (intentionally discipling others who will disciple others). Jesus' strategy was simple: invite, invest, and inspire. Mike emphasizes that disciples are called to be, sent to go, and made to multiply - and that there is a unique, top-shelf joy reserved for those who engage in the messy, sacrificial work of pouring into others.Discussion Questions:-Jesus chose ordinary, unqualified people like fishermen and tax collectors as His disciples. How does this challenge our modern tendency to believe we need credentials or perfection before we can serve God?-The domino illustration shows how one small surrendered life can create exponential kingdom impact. What fears or excuses prevent you from seeing yourself as that first domino?-The sermon contrasts addition (inviting people to church) with multiplication (discipling people who disciple others). Why do you think the church has focused more on addition, and what would need to change to shift toward multiplication?-If you examined your bank statements, calendar, and relationships as indicators of your true mission, what would they reveal about what you actually value versus what you say you value?

What does genuine faith look like when we leave church and step into the realities of everyday life? How does our Sunday worship shape the way we show up at work, at school, in our homes, and in our communities? In this message, Pastor Ruthie Seiders invites us to consider a powerful and challenging truth from the book of James: faith that does not move us to action is incomplete. A living, authentic faith is not something we simply believe—it is something we practice. Drawing from James 2, Pastor Ruthie explores what it means to live out a working faith—a faith that connects prayer, worship, and belief with tangible expressions of love, mercy, justice, and compassion in the places God has called us to serve each day. Using Scripture, real-life examples, and stories from Grace Chapel's Faith and Work gathering, this message highlights how God is already at work through people across all ages, vocations, and life stages. This sermon wrestles honestly with questions like: Can faith be real if it doesn't shape how we treat others? How do faith and works relate without turning obedience into performance? What does it look like to love our neighbors in the ordinary moments of work and responsibility? James reminds us that even belief alone is not enough—even the demons believe. What marks genuine faith is love in action. From the faith of Abraham to the courage of Rahab, Scripture shows us that faith comes alive when it is expressed through deeds shaped by trust in God and love for others. Pastor Ruthie challenges us to imagine what might change if we truly believed that every person we encounter is a child of God, an image bearer, and that our work as followers of Jesus is to treat them that way. When we close the gap between Sunday and Monday, faith becomes visible—not just in words, but in lives shaped by grace. This message is an invitation to reflect deeply on how your faith shows up in the small, everyday choices you make—and to live out a faith that works for the good of others and the glory of God.

Speaker: Pastor Ruthie Seiders, Central Ministries Pastor Message: Thanks + Giving: It's Time for Thanksgiving Again Scripture: 1 Thessalonians 1:1–10; 5:16–18 • 2 Corinthians 9:6–8 • Proverbs 11:24–25 • Hebrews 12:1–3 As the holiday season launches into full speed, Pastor Ruthie Seiders invites us to pause — to breathe in the goodness of God and remember the heart behind Thanksgiving. Looking at Paul's earliest recorded letter, Ruthie explores how the Apostle begins not with updates about his own life, but with gratitude for the people he shepherds. This message calls us into that same rhythm: Thanks + Giving — Giving Thanks and Thankfully Giving. Through stories of the Thessalonian church, Grace Chapel's own history, and the joyful legacy of generosity, Pastor Ruthie reminds us that: True faith is busy (Leon Morris) Love prompts labor Hope produces endurance Gratitude fuels generosity And cheerful giving is a spiritual practice that shapes us into Christlikeness As we gather around tables and step into Advent, may our hearts echo Paul's words: “Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances…” (1 Thess. 5:16–18)

“Be patient, then, brothers and sisters, until the Lord's coming…” (James 5:7) In this message, we explore what it means to live a Spirit-filled life marked by patience. Unlike love, joy, and peace—which feel refreshing and desirable—patience is often harder to embrace because it means waiting, enduring, and long-suffering. Drawing from James 5, the story of Waiting for Godot, and practical spiritual practices, we discover that patience is not passive but an active partnership with God. Patience teaches us to embrace suffering, resist distraction, and experience God's presence with us in the waiting. This sermon is part of our Cultivate series: The Fruit of a Spirit-Filled Life at Grace Chapel.

In a season of uncertainty—both personally and in the church—how do we respond when Jesus asks, “Do you also want to go?” (John 6:66–69) In this heartfelt and challenging message, Pastor Bryan Wilkerson returns to Grace Chapel to explore what it means to stay rooted in faith when others are walking away. Whether you're questioning, drifting, or standing firm, this message is an invitation to keep following Jesus—even when it's hard—because He is always leading us to new and better things.

In this powerful message, Dr. Mateus F. de Campos, Professor of New Testament at Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary, opens Grace Chapel's sermon series “The Questions God Asks” by exploring the Fall in Genesis 3.

Whether you're hiding, searching, or unsure how to be found—this message is for you.

We're taking a break from our regular content to share a favorite episode from our Becoming Like Jesus series. Rev. Dr. Bryan Wilkerson, Pastor Emeritus of Grace Chapel in Lexington, MA, shares the importance of silence and solitude in personal spiritual formation. As we head into Christmas week, we encourage you to reflect on the birth of our Savior as you practice these disciplines.

"Do I love being a pastor, or do I need to be a pastor? Once I figured out what I wanted to do and what I could let go of, that helped free me up." Meet Bryan Wilkerson, Pastor Emeritus at Grace Chapel. Today, Bryan reflects on his 40-year ministry career, including his 24 years as lead pastor of Grace Chapel in the Boston area. He discusses the leadership transition process, the importance of finishing well, and how his personal identity evolved as he prepared for retirement. The conversation also touches on Bryan's strategies for staying involved in ministry while stepping back from leadership. Welcome to Episode 119 of the Leaders in Living Rooms Podcast with Sean Morgan.

Sunday @g Grace Chapel

On Sunday, we kicked off a new series called, Remember. Over the next few months, we'll be going through scripture and exploring the importance of remembering God's faithfulness, what he has done for us, and remembering who we are called to be as his people. Throughout this series, we will share stories and memories of our church history and key characteristics of who we are called to be as the people of Grace Chapel.

magine the next 25 years…what will Grace Chapel look like? Or, imagine the next year. We begin a new chapter at Grace. God wants to lead us on an adventure. The Apostle Paul's life and ministry was filled with adventure because he was transformed by Christ. He invited others into the adventure. We'll kick off the fall with Vision Weekend introducing Paul's letter to the Romans. It's a gritty, grace filled. Paul writes, “I am unashamed of the gospel.” He was determined to share the good news of Jesus to the ends of the earth. But his focus on God's righteousness through Christ, not our own—and grace—changed everything. To a diverse congregation(s) Paul writes, “All have sinned and fallen short of God's glory.” We all share same human condition. Key theological theme to introduce views on prevenient/irresistible grace. It is God's initiative through Jesus to heal, restore, and renew. Grace is for everyone. We live this out through the four Grace Pathways: be curious, grow in practice, find community, make an impact—the first step is to get started.

Looking at Ephesians 4.29-5.2 Dave asks the question "what does it mean to grieve the Holy Spirit?" In what way do our actions bring sorrow, distress and/or sadness to our Lord? Dave uses the illustration of three children who are bickering and arguing over trivial, inconsequential things while unbeknownst to them they are surrounded by God's amazing beauty and provision. We are the same. Dave also digs deep into the question of the forgiveness that God calls for us to have for one another. Are you holding onto something you need to let go of? Do you need to forgive someone who does not deserve your forgiveness or has not earned it? Have you earned (or do you deserve) God's forgiveness? In the same way that God forgave you (in Christ Jesus), you two ought to show forgiveness to others. Dave Bigler (founder Iron Sheep Ministries) was asked to guest preach, on behalf of Renew Prayer Network https://www.renewalprayer.net, at Grace Chapel in Clifton Park, New York on Sunday, September 1st. In this teaching, Dave goes through Ephesians 4.29-5.2 covering the following text: "Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen. And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, with whom you were sealed for the day of redemption. Get rid of all bitterness, rage and anger, brawling and slander, along with every form of malice. Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you. Follow God's example, therefore, as dearly loved children and walk in the way of love, just as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us as a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God."

This is a reprise of season 23 episode 5 of The Discerning Leader Podcast.  Host: Steve Macchia, Guest: Bryan Wilkerson “Believe that the Lord had something fresh for you this Christmas” – Bryan Wilkerson Bryan Wilkerson serves as Senior Pastor at Grace Chapel, authored Living God's Story, is a graduate of Wheaton College and Denver Seminary, and holds a Doctor of Ministry degree from Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary. Bryan's life mission statement is “to lead as many people as possible to a joyful and growing relationship with Jesus Christ and His Church.” He and his wife, Karen, have four married children and a growing number of grandchildren. Brian shares with Steve that as he enters his thirty-ninth year of ministry, Christmas is his favorite time of year to preach and minister.

In this week's episode, we navigate the hypocrisy of Governor Bill Lee's stance on the #MeToo movement in 2018 when he was running for Governor (he even denounced his own pastor's infamous sermon about having 2-3 witnesses in cases of sexual abuse). We also explore the horrific tragedies that have surrounded Grace Chapel for the last 15 years; plus a certain Pastor seemingly having his own set of rules to abide by.EPISODE NOTES:https://apnews.com/article/1fc104e779264889a6a8312238f71affhttps://www.lighthousetrailsresearch.com/blog/interview-with-chris-lawson-pastor-steve-bergers-mediumship-practices/DISCLAIMER:While every effort has been made to ensure the accuracy of the information provided, we would like to emphasize that the views and experiences expressed by the individual are their own and do not necessarily reflect the experiences of others.  The experience that certain individuals had at GCA and Grace Chapel does not reflect the experience of others.
