Christ Chapel College

Jesus is the filter and final word. When studying Scripture, it is important to anchor in truth and see it through the lens of Jesus. When Nehemiah returns to Jerusalem, he confronts sin, addressing issues such as relationships and the Sabbath. Looking at these topics, we can draw truth from the life and words of Jesus.

Joy is found in God Alone. God causes the Israelites to have joy and commit themselves to joyous praise.  He teaches them where to locate their joy and how to have joy that isn’t based on feelings or circumstances but based on an everlasting relationship with Him.

The people of God decide that they want to make a covenant(a promise to God) and they want to do life differently.  They want to handle relationships, resources, and work God’s way.  In this message we learn how to make God the center of everything.

Easter Sunday! We continue in our series in Nehemiah and then connect it to the death and resurrection of Jesus. The people of Israel confess who they are, who God is and they appropriately respond.  The Gospel(good news) of Jesus also dictates and appropriate response!

In this week's message we cover three whole chapters of Nehemiah. Chapters 6 & 7 mark a turning point in the book of Nehemiah as Gods people humble themselves before God and turn back toward Him.

This week we learn the difference between a selfish leader and a servant leader. Nehemiah uncovers a system that lays heavy burdens on people. Throughout Chapter 5 we learn how to be a leader that lightens the load on the shoulders of the people we influence.

In this Christ Chapel College Conversation, Amy, Justin and Sarah address some of the questions that were submitted at the famous “Galentines” event.

This week, the work on the wall continues.  A resilient leader leads a resilient people through the building of a wall in the face of war.  So, are you a resilient person?  What does that look like?

In this Christ Chapel College Conversation, Amy, Justin and Sarah address some of the questions that were submitted at the famous “Galentines” event.

In this week's dive into Nehemiah, Zach covers what it looks like for God to restore a people to Himself.  What marks those who join God in that restoration work for themselves and others?  Join us as we continue in the Old Testament book of Nehemiah.

Do you understand the will of God?  What is the will of God?  How do you walk out the will of God with courage and obedience? This week, Justin walks us through Nehemiah’s ability to understand and walk out the will of God with remarkable obedience.

This week, Justin continues our series in Nehemiah as Nehemiah enters the kings court to make a remarkable ask.  Nehemiah lives a remarkable life and gives us a formula to live that life for God as well.

In this episode, Amy, Justin, and Zach follow up on our Q&A panel and answer some of the questions that we missed during our Sunday Panel in the Fall.  Relationships, hardship, and how to study the Scriptures are all at play.

Welcome to Christ Chapel Conversations.  A podcast outlet where we cast vision, answer questions and help drive the conversation toward a deeper relationship with Jesus.  In this first episode, Ben and Justin talk about the origins of Christ Chapel College and some of the passion that moves the mission forward.

This week we find out we are no longer strangers to God, but through Jesus we have salvation and we get to be a part of the most significant family and movement in history.

We were once dead in our sins, but Jesus intervened, and now everything has changed.  This week we study the saving grace of Gods plan to take us out of a life of evil and darkness and into the light.  He makes us alive in him!

God wants you to know Him deeply, and He wants you to know His authority. In this message we complete Paul’s introduction, prayer and thanksgiving before getting into the body of the letter to the Ephesians next week.

God has a plan! From the foundations of the earth God has always had an intentional plan to bring us into His family through the saving work of Jesus. We dissect together the anatomy of God’s love and plan.

In this episode, we launch our new series for the Fall Semester. We will go verse by verse through the book of Ephesians. We begin to give context to our Author, Paul, and his motivations for writing this letter(epistle) to the Church in Ephesus. A letter that centers on our Identity in Jesus and our Identity as the Church.

We are back in the Gospel of Mark for Easter Sunday studying the event that changed everything, The Resurrection of Jesus and how it should change our lives as Christians.

Continuing in the book of Mark, Justin takes us through the crucifixion of Jesus, we talk about how to sit in the grief of His death while looking forward to the resurrection of Christ.

Today we are in Mark 14, we look at how Jesus models the way to fight against the desires of our flesh and how to surrender fully to God.

Continuing in our Upside Down Kingdom series, Justin talks about the difference in a contract and a covenant, and what Jesus offers to us in a covenant relationship.

Continuing in mark Mark, we are in chapter 14, we talk about what true love for Jesus should look like in the life of a believer. 

Today we welcome Dr. Lee Long and Dr. Debra Atkisson as they discuss Gods design for sexual wholeness.

Continuing in the Gospel of Mark, we are in chapter 11. We talk about Jesus' righteous anger with the money changers in the temple and how to keep the sanctity of the church as followers of Jesus.

Continuing in our series "The Upside Down Kingdom" we tackle Mark 11 when Jesus enters Jerusalem and proclaims that He is king. We explore what Jesus being king means for us today.

We are back in the Gospel according to Mark. In chapter 10 Jesus heals a blind man named Bartimaeus. We talk about how we desire to be seen rather than to see and how Jesus already sees and knows us. 

Today we walk through Mark 10, we talk about idolatry and how we can identify idols in our lives, as well as steps we can take to squash them. 

Today we walk through Mark 9:33-37, we learn about humility and what Jesus says about being humble compared to what the world tells us.

Today we walk through Mark 9, the transfiguration of Jesus. We learn how the power of God is intimate and provides us hope and assurance.

Today, we study Mark 4:1-20 as Jesus tells a parable and then gives us an explanation. In this parable, Jesus sows the seed (the Word of God) and we discover if we have the heart soil to hear and see the Word of God and then put it into practice so it can grow deep roots into our lives.

In this message we study two major events that happen on the Sabbath.  Jesus’ disciples will pick heads of grain and Jesus will heal a man’s withered hand.  The religious leaders of the day are furious but Jesus uses these moments of opposition as opportunity’s to teach about Gods heart and intentions for the Sabbath.  This leads to a greater understanding of the intentions and heart of God for all of humanity. 

Today we study Mark 2:1-12 as Jesus heals a paralytic man and forgives his sins through His authority.  We identify 4 different people groups in this passage and determine who we may identify with.  The 1. Scribes who are offended by Jesus’ authority, 2. The Friends who are banking on Jesus’ authority, 3. The Crowd who is intrigued by Jesus’ Authority and 4. The Paralytic who is desperate for Jesus’ authority.  Who are you as it relates to Jesus’ authority?

In this message we study Mark 1:16-20 primarily and Jesus’ early invitation to His first disciples.  In a message entitled, “The Anatomy of the Invitation” we answer 2 major questions: 1.  Who is Jesus inviting, and 2. What is He inviting them too?
