What was Jesus talking about when He taught His disciples to pray, "Thy kingdom come", and was it anything on earth at all? In this study, Pastor Jim Thomas explores the true nature of God's Kingdom as the dynamic rule and reign of King Jesus. Moving past political definitions and geographic borders, we examine how the primary purpose of prayer is to align our hearts with God's purposes rather than demanding our own way.

Discover what it means to walk with Christ and learn how to make God’s invisible Kingdom wonderfully visible to the watching world around you.

The Village Chapel exists to glorify God through the teaching of His word, through heartfelt worship, and by connecting people with opportunities to live lives of real significance, serving God and their neighbors as a local community of faith.

What does it mean to hallow God’s name? In this study, Pastor Jim Thomas journeys into the first petition of The Lord's Prayer: "Hallowed be Thy name." We explore what it means to treat God’s character as holy, set apart, and worthy of honor.

Drawing insights from A. W. Tozer, Justin Brierley, and Tish Harrison Warren, Pastor Jim invites us to step out of spiritual boredom and learn how to "surf the teeming waves of wonder" in an enchanted cosmos ruled by the great "I AM."

The Village Chapel exists to glorify God through the teaching of His word, through heartfelt worship, and by connecting people with opportunities to live lives of real significance, serving God and their neighbors as a local community of faith.

When we pray "Our Father, Who art in heaven," what does the phrase "in heaven" reveal about God? In this study, Pastor Jim Thomas breaks through our modern over-familiarity with the Lord's Prayer to examine the magnificent paradox of God's character.

Unpacking three distinct realities, God's unique perspective, unalloyed purity, and sovereign power, this study reveals how a right understanding of heaven changes the way we see reality on earth. Learn why entering into a relationship with a transcendent, cosmic King is the ultimate antidote to a restless heart.
