This week, we have special guest Armando, one of our global partners who works with refugee communities in the Middle East, sharing with us. He will be looking at the passage of Genesis 13 at the unique danger that comes from being in close relationship to those following God, how that proximity can give the impression of shared commitment even among those who aren&apos;t seeking after God. Then what enables a person to truly seek after the promise of God.

The Danger of Proximity to God’s Promise

Ready for Renewal

This weekend is the 3rd and final installment in our “Meeting Jesus” series. We will be looking at one of the most remarkable stories of transformation on all of human history — the story of the conversion of the Apostle Paul. How did Saul of Tarsus, the most feared and violent persecutor of the early church, become the most articulate and bold voice for Christianity in the first century? Join us this weekend as we explore this amazing story together.

Meeting Jesus Pt.3 The Conversion of Paul

This is the first week of our new series, Meeting Jesus. We’ll kick off this series looking at the story of the woman Jesus met at the well in John 4. Through this story, we’ll see how God’s desire is for people to meet Jesus and abide in him, not out of guilt but out of an overflow of faith. And through this story we can be inspired to have spiritual conversations with people in our own lives.

July 4th 2021 Meeting Jesus Pt. 1

This is the last week of the Experiencing God’s Presence series. Pastor Mike will be sharing how God’s presence leads us to an unshakeable kingdom that we should embrace with thankfulness, reverence, and awe.

Responding to God

This week, we are continuing the Experiencing God’s Presence series. We’ll be looking at how God’s presence empowers people for kingdom building as we partake in communion together and reflect on what God has for us.

Father's Day 2021

God's Holiness

This week, we begin our new series, Experiencing God’s Presence. This series will be a little different than many of us have experienced, but there will be additional time in the service for moments of worship, reflection, guided prayers, and communion. Today, Anson will be taking us into the story of Moses and the burning bush as we learn and reflect on God’s invitation to experience his presence.

Experiencing God’s Presence

We’re wrapping up the series, 21 Days of Prayer, this week with Pastor Mike’s message on The Heart of Prayer by looking in depth at Luke 18.

The Heart of Prayer

Rest in God

Today we start a new series, 21 Days of Prayer. We’re launching this series now to pray now in light of the coming focus on renewal. Today we’ll be looking at Chronicles to see what we can learn from the ebbs and flows of spiritual fervor found in the story of Gods people.

Basics of Prayer

Today we get to hear from our own campus pastor Ben Dockery with a message from the gospels focused on the lives of Jesus & Mary.

Mother's Day Sermon 2021

Today – on this communion Sunday - we finish the I AM series with Christ’s claim to be the Light of the World. It is one of the many ways that Jesus – who serves, who lives simply, who is so focused on others – points to himself, making the biggest claims possible. In a moment, Mike will be walking us through John 8 when Jesus makes this startling claim. Right now….

I AM Light

Today you will hear from Greg Jao on  our I AM series.  Greg is an author, speaker, law graduate from Northwestern and currently Jao serves InterVarsity Christian Fellowship/USA as the Senior Assistant to the President for External Partnerships & Executive Office Communications. In this role, he leads InterVarsity’s efforts to partner with other ministries, churches, and networks; shapes InterVarsity’s leadership communications; and guides InterVarsity’s response to situations where the ministry’s presence is challenged by campus administrators. We welcome Greg back to Christ Church.

I AM the True Vine

In a moment we will turn to the sixth message in The I AM series. Today we consider Christ’s enormously important and enormously controversial claim to be “the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.”

I AM: The Way Truth and the Life

Weekly sermons of Christ Church, a non-denominational, family-friendly community, committed to giving glory to God, loving people, studying the Bible and serving our communities.We have three campuses, one in Lake Forest, IL, one in Highland Park, IL, and one in Grayslake, IL. Our vision is to reach outside our church walls to meaningfully touch and transform lives, particularly those in the ten-mile radius of our steeples.
