Chris Lash teaches on Christ our hope. What does it mean for Christ to be our hope, especially for maturity? We also take some time to pray as a community for the Paris and Beirut bombings. Text: Colossians 1:27-29.

In the final installment of our Faith and Sexuality Week, Dr. Rachel Shannon explains some of the problems of having virginity as an idol, problems with intimacy, and how to grow into mature adulthood. 

Beloved Pastor Ian Simkins joins the Judson Chapel community to share about singleness: some lies we believe, scriptural exhortations, and a way forward. 

Chris Lash engages the chapel in a different manner. Instead of preaching a regular message he guides the community through an exercise in story. In it, he reads a narrative retelling of scripture and asks questions. There are periods of silence in this recording but it is due to listening to responses from the participants. 

Author and speaker Josh Riebock joins the Judson community to talk about how all of us are a combination of a hero and a monster.

Pastor and Judson Trustee Greg Huguley delivers a very funny message that touches on the baptist identity.

For the first (of two) installments for our Global Outreach Week we hear from Shaun Groves: musician, recording artist, Compassion Ambassador, preacher. This is a phenomenal message and worth the time to listen! 

We kick off our year long series in Colossians with "SEE the invitation." Director of University Ministries, Chris Lash, unpacks what it means to live in tension and how we are like the Colossian people. Text: Colossians 1:1-9. #SEEseries

Ian Simkins, in a special Spiritual Enrichment Week installment, joins the Upper Room team to talk about Beuaty in the Common. 

Ian Simkins, pastor of Poplar Creek Church in Bartlett IL, joins the Judson Community to lead Spiritual Enrichment Week 2015. To briefly explain what Ian means when he says "Beauty in the Common" here is a selection from the BITC blog:

In the rush of daily life we look at much but see very little.

It's not hard to be moved by a stunning mountain range or a grand waterfall – but Beauty in the Common is about something a little different. Our hope is to challenge and inspire others to be captivated in the everyday, mundane, and unexpected spaces of our lives.

For us, this goes way beyond merely “stopping to smell the roses” to something a whole lot deeper. The word “common” not only means “ordinary”, but also “mutual, united, and conjunct.” We want to stir and provoke one another to begin seeing with new lenses the simple shared beauties all around us.  

Pastor Mark Bergin (of The Painted Door) shares on the gospel, suffering, and loss. Incredible message.

On February 1, a snow storm blew through Elgin and as a result Judson had to cancel morning classes, chapel being one of the things that got cancelled! So, instead of letting the blizzard set the series back, Chris Lash chose to record the message for the podcast. Talking beauty and from the Psalm 19! 

Dr. Lina AbuJamra visited us in chapel to talk about Jeremiah, Adoniram Judson, her story, and even her medical practice. This is a must listen. She's awesome! 

Chris Lask kicks off our spring series, Roots 2.0 with the first value taught: Dependence. He explores two models that Christians typically live into. (Text: Hebrews 12:1-3)
