Chicago Fellowship
Summary: Chicago Fellowship is committed to helping men experience the saving grace of Jesus Christ and work together to extend that grace to others through acts of compassion and justice in the broken places of our world. When we gather, we challenge and encourage one another through God's Word and the sharing of our lives. We laugh together, pray together, worship together, and serve others together. We commit ourselves to speaking and hearing truth from one another so that together we might pursue God's unique purpose for our lives with greater humility, integrity, and courage. In making this commitment, we seek not only our own good as men but also the well-being of our families and communities. We desire to be a community of men who embody the Gospel of Jesus Christ and answer the call of Micah 6:8 to "…act justly, love mercy, and walk humbly with God." This podcast covers keynote messages from our weekly meetings, covering a range of topics including urban ministry, development, spiritual growth, leadership and more.

We pause from our regular series to welcome Dr. Mark Labberton, President of Fuller Seminary. Dr. Labberton examines Psalm 8, considering what it means to “pay attention” to God and his world, and the surprising truth that God pays attention to us!
Truth matters. Honesty matters. Continuing our series on the qualities of a maturing believer, Ray Carter looks at the trait of “honesty,” considering why God detests it, and why we all wrestle with a tendency towards dishonesty.
This fall, we are looking at the traits that are natural byproducts of a deeper walk with Christ. Ray Carter examines the trait of empathy, considering what it looks like to develop and exhibit a deeper level level of empathy.
In session three of our 2019 retreat, Ray Carter considers the trait of “empathy.” Ray invites us to journey outside our circles to places like Hunts Point and Montgomery. Jim Hallene joins Ray to share lessons learned through trials in his own life.
In Isaiah 40:6-11, we see God as both sovereign power and gentle shepherd. In this second session of our 2019 retreat, Pastor Dan Meyer from Christ Church challenges us to consider “gentleness” as an underrepresented fruit of the Spirit in our lives.
What words ought to define the life of a man seeking to follow Christ with his whole heart? In this first session of our 2019 retreat, Ray Carter considers the idea of “clarity,” drawing lessons from the life of Jacob found in Genesis 25-32.
Ray Carter kicks off our 2019-20 season with an overview of Chicago Fellowship – considering both what our Fellowing is and what it isn’t. This is a great place to start if you’re new to Chicago Fellowship.
We conclude our study of Mark’s Gospel in this closing session of our 2018-2019 season. Ray Carter looks at the resurrection account Mark 16:1-7 and it’s message for us today: Don’t be alarmed. Go. Christ is already going ahead of you!
Continuing our study of the Book of Mark, Patrick Fisher examines the Transfiguration of Christ as described in Mark 9 and the other Synoptic Gospels. What did the experience mean to the disciples and what is the message for us today?
Continuing our study of the Book of Mark, Ray Carter looks at Mark 15:33-47 and “The Unifying Power of the Gospel.” We consider how a shared experience of God’s grace can create community across the barriers that so often dived us.
Continuing our study of the Book of Mark, Ray Carter looks at Mark 14:43-52 to consider the clash between the Kingdom of this World and the Kingdom of God. What is the order of things in each and what does this say about where real power exists?
Continuing our study of the Book of Mark. Ray Carter looks at Mark 12:35-44 to consider “The Clarity of Jesus’ Claims and Calling.” How do Christ’s teachings and life challenge our own assumptions about who He is and what it means to follow Him?
We continue our study from the Book of Mark, looking at Jesus’ teachings about religious traditions in Mark 7:1-23. Joel Hamernick challenges us to examine our own religious practices to consider whether they point us towards God’s heart or hinder us.
We pause our study of the Book of Mark to welcome Brian Dye, Executive Director of Legacy Disciple. Looking at Luke 1:1-4, and lessons from throughout Luke’s life, Brian calls us to follow the evangelist’s example to leave a legacy beyond ourselves.
Continuing our study of the Book of Mark, Ray Carter looks at Mark 8:22-31 and “The Miracle of Seeing.” In this story of Jesus giving sight to a blind man, we consider what it means to be spiritually blind and how by God’s grace we grow.
