In this series pastor Chris Meade shares an image of grace that shows God's heart to each of us through the life of Peter and his denial of Christ. It was a devasting failure to Peter, and it sidelined him from God's plan for a short season. In Jesus' encounter with Peter on the beach, we see how Jesus pursues us when we run from Him. The one question He is most interested in whether we fail or succeed is, do you love me?Christopher P.

The Bible says that Jesus is full of grace and truth. Pastor Chris Meade unpacks the story of Zaccheaus and how he pursued God with all of his heart. When we open our hearts to Christ, we become new creations and spiritual transformation begins to work in us and through us. Jesus, by His Spirit, is in pursuit of us. He extends grace to us when we are humble and when we acknowledge our need of Him. Jesus loves us and gave His life for us. He also has deputizied us to help Him in reaching out to those who are down and out as well as those who are up and out and in need of a Savior. Jesus has come for those who are far from God, and He asks His followers to help. God gives grace to those who seek Him.Christopher P.

So too, family contains a force that is just as real in the emotional/spiritual world even though you cannot always see it as well.

In the midst of skewed cultural definitions and expectations, the Bible gives clear beauty principles that apply to every woman in every culture. 1 Peter 3 and Proverbs 31 explore the foundations of feminine beauty of the inner person.

There are two great churches in the world: (1) the church of God's blessings here in America, and (2) the church of the suffering servant in Africa (and in other developing countries of the world). The apostle Paul challenged the Corinthians Christians to help equal the playing field and the disparity between the gentile Christians and their new Jewsish brother and sisters who were suffering and experiencing poverty in Jerusalem. And if God cared back then about the inequality in the church, then it's reasonable to conclude that He cares about it today. Pastor Chris Meade challenges us to move beyond awareness and into intentional engagement with the poor and global under-resourced. God has a remedy to resolve hunger, poverty, foul water, HIV/Aids, lack of primary education, and substandard health care and nutrition worldwide. The answer is found in the scriptures, and God's solution has the power to out do every govermental agnecy on the face of the planet. You'll be amazed to hear what God's solution is, and if we may, we dare you to do it!Christopher Meade, Ph.D. Sunday Services 10:AM in Boise, Idaho GraceChapel.com in Boise, Idaho lives for Jesus.

And hidden in the web of poverty are all kinds of ugly spiders (hunger, dirty water, Malaria, HIV/Aids, disease, oppression of women, sex trafficking, and other injustices). Poverty is always personal. And although we might not be able to change everything, we can all change something.

Contemporary American Christianity has tended to emphasize our relationship with God over showing justice and compassion to our fellow man. We need both. Being a Christian is having a personl, transforming relationship with Jesus Christ AND having a personal, transforming relationship with the world. The good news of the Gospel is about both personal salvation and social justice. We need both the message of Jesus and the ministry of Jesus.

But the reality is that we don’t all say yes. Grace Chapel’s mantra is “helping people say yes to God.” To say yes to God also means that we have to say no to certain things as well. Jesus calls us to deny ourselves and daily take up our cross and die to selfishness. As we do, we’ll be able to follow Jesus with our whole heart. This message looks at some of the things that keep us from saying yes to God. Remember: It is in losing my life for Christ that I really find it.

Like the ancient Greeks, many people today believe in the immortality of the soul, but Christians believe that our physical bodies will be resurrected; that is, our whole self – body, soul, and spirit. We know that after Jesus' resurrection that His body was recognizable and it was truly physical. It was no longer bound by normal limits of space and time. The resurrection will happen instantly when Jesus comes again or appears. This will result in our total transformation – life after life after death. Jesus also invites us into eternal life, which is both a quality and quantity of life. And as good as life can be in Jesus, the best is yet to come!Christopher P.

We don't deserve it, we don't earn it, we just receive it as a gift. God in His mercy forgives our sins because of Jesus. We are forgiven because Jesus took our sin upon Himself and then bore our punishment. All of God's wrath against our sin was poured out on Jesus, who absorbed it on our behalf. This is what the Scripture means when it says "Christ died for our sins." This message explores the importance of forgiveness. It drills down and lays a foundation of what is sin...where did it orginate...what does Adam's sin have to do with me personally...and what does God say about sin?

They believe in God, but want nothing to do with the church. Yet, the Apostles Creed declares the church as a top priority of the Christian faith. Why would they do that? As well, the Protestant reformers of the 16 century asked these same question and came up with four non-negotiables for the church that they found in scripture: the teaching of the God’s Word, the celebrating of the sacraments: baptism and the Lord's Supper, the exercising of discipline - Matthew 18, and the experiencing of honest prayer and fellowship. In this message, pastor Chris Meade explores what the church is, why it’s important, and what each of us should do as whole-hearted followers of Jesus.Christopher P.

The Father and Son and Spirit have always loved each other and have been in relationship before the universe began. And what is really cool is that God invites each of us into that relationship of love with God. The Holy Spirit is committed to growing us up and conforming us into the image of Jesus. The Holy Spirit melts us, molds us, fills us, and uses us. At Grace Chapel, we believe in the Holy Spirt.

Too often our culture defines heaven as a place where heavy-set babies with diapers and wings float around the clouds playing harps. Nothing could be further from the truth. As New testament scholar N.T. Wright says, Jesus came to give us life beyond life after death. Heaven is the place where Jesus currently is, and when we die, we go to be with Jesus there in heaven. But a day is coming where Jesus will literally and physically come again to earth. And when He does He will initiate the resurrection of the dead. As heaven and earth are redeemed and re-made, justice will be accomplshed and Jesus's kingdom will live on for eternity as all things will be made new.

It would make Him God. And that’s why Christians for 2,000 years have included this belief as one of its core doctrinal truths. Many people have doubts about the virgin birth. Was Jesus conceived by a direct act of God without the help of any man? Was Mary a virgin when Jesus was conceived and born? Christians have always answered those questions “yes.”Christopher P.

These disciples were convinced that Jesus was raised from the dead and is still alive. They experienced a transforming power in their lives that changed them at their core. They believed that this “power” that raised Christ from the dead was the ultimate triumph over humanity’s greatest enemy–death. That same power that was demonstrated at the first Easter is still available for human life—in our struggles, brokenness, disappointments, and sin. This message explores those claims and gives us an opportunity to respond to God’s invitation to experience a new, His power from on high. Christopher P.

He speaks through our leaders, the gifts of the Spirit, and through ordinary conversations.

Home is one of the most evocative and powerful words in the English language. It's where we receive our name, establish our identity, experience safety, and refuge. Every person longs for a place like that. At the same time, we all long for home because deep down we all long for God. The good news in the Scriptures is that Jesus has gone on ahead of us to our heavenly home to prepare a place for each of us. Jesus has prepared the way through His death, burial, and resurrection. When we open our lives to Jesus and say Yes to Him, His spirit then abides in us and He promises to be with us soon as we will one day join Him in heaven for eternity. Christopher P.

Rather, we need the spirit of Christ. While the spirit of Christmas is annual, the spirit of Christ is forever. The spirit of Christmas is sentimental, but the spirit of Christ is supernatural.

Mary had a lot of things to discover and she ultimately pays a huge price. Mary's teaches us how God's peace is available to each of us as we pray the dangerous prayer of Christmas: I am the Lord's servant. Be it unto me according to Your will. In the end peace wins because Jesus wins. Nothing, not Caesar, not Herod, not problems, not scandal, not gossip, not death itself can stop God's peace, which all began so long ago with Mary's (and Jesus') dangerous prayer! Christopher P.

The Magnificat was a song of hope for Mary and a song of fear for Herod. Mary's song is about the great reversal that God is doing through Jesus Christ. The kingdom of God has come! And as we'll see, Jesus will win, not by "out-heroding" Herod, but by out loving and out suffering him on the cross. Mary is not rejoicing because God’s given her a problem-free life, but because God is a big God and He is always working for our good in the midst of challenging circumstances. Christopher P.
