Being The Church

Recorded on: January 4, 2009 | Speaker: Doug Walker

Is church a description of where we are, or who we are? Well, that depends upon how you define "church." This message from Matthew 16:13-18 explores the nature of the church, and what that means for us today.

The Perfect Gift

Recorded on: December 28, 2008 | Speaker: Doug Walker

Gifts come in all shapes and sizes, and range from awesome to downright awful. What makes one gift more satisfying than another? What would make a gift "perfect?" This message, from James 1:16-18, begins by exploring this idea with a group of elementary age children before addressing the whole congregation.

A Place Called Hope

Recorded on: December 21, 2008 | Speaker: Doug Walker

In Luke 2:36-38, the prophetess Anna sees the Christ child after a lifetime filled with grief, loneliness and waiting. That's what Christmas does for us - gives us that fondation, that sure footing, that no matter how bad things get, there's a deposit on God's guarantee. God became man and moved in with us. That's real hope - not wishful thinking, not pretending everything is going to be alright - but real, honest to goodness hope.

I'd Stake My Life On It

Recorded on: December 14, 2008 | Speaker: Doug Walker

If you've ever looked at a "Magic Eye" picture, you realize rather quickly that if you want to see the hidden image, you can't concentrate on any one element of the page in front of you. You actually have to look beyond the page for the image to be revealed. Maybe Advent is like that - maybe the things of real importance aren't the ones we focus on - maybe they're revealed in other ways. From Luke 2:25-35

Showing Up

Recorded on: December 7, 2008 | Speaker: Doug Walker

In a world where digital communication is becoming increasingly popular, relating to one another in person seems to be fading. But when you really want to show someone how much you care, you show up. That's what God did in the person of Jesus Christ. This exposition of John 1:14 also includes a panel discussion addressing how Grace Chapel is going to "show up" as the hands and feet of Jesus in our community.

Recorded on: November 9, 2008 | Speaker: Doug Walker

Recorded on: November 3, 2008 | Speaker: Doug Walker

Ever been certain about something and then been proven wrong?

Much of the time, we are ignorant of God's eternal purpose and plan, so is it possible to ever make the "right" choice?

Recorded on: September 28, 2008 | Speaker: Doug Walker

Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me. Do you believe it? Most people don't, because we understand that words are powerful.

Recorded on: September 7, 2008 | Speaker: Doug Walker

Upward and Outward - Psalm 2

Recorded on: July 13, 2008 | Speaker: Doug Walker

Why do we constantly push back at God's authority in our lives? We all have rebellion in our blood, and we're convinced that our way is better.
