Worship in the Godbox

Weekly Worship

We hold weekly worship services at 10am on Sundays on the Illinois Tech campus in the historic Carr Memorial Chapel, affectionately known as the Godbox, which was designed by the renowned architect Ludwig Mies van der Rohe.

How We Worship

Our weekly worship service is free for anyone to come and join. During service, we sing hymns and modern worship music, and we pray for both ourselves as a congregation and for God's work all around the world.

At the beginning of the month, we share communion where we remember the shedding of Jesus' blood and the breaking of his body through drinking the juice and eating the bread.

Sermons

The strongest point of our worship is the focus on God's word in the Bible. Each week, a message is delivered that is based on the word of God from the Bible, holding to a specific passage.

In The Beginning, God
Genesis 1:1-2:3

The first words of the first chapter of the Bible open with a powerful, foundational truth: In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.  This shows that God exists and he is eternal.  We learn that God is Spirit, and through his creation we can witness his infinite power and wisdom, and be encouraged and inspired by his infinite goodness and holiness.

Even the Dogs Eat the Crumbs
Mark 7:24-30

A Gentile woman responds to Jesus' apparent rejection, owning up to being a dog and asking Jesus for just a crumb of His grace. Jesus did not reject nor insult her, but taught her who He was. When she realized it, He granted her request, and lifted her up from under the table to at the table as a child of God.

God Loves a Cheerful Giver
2 Corinthians 9:6-15

God loves a cheerful giver because God Himself is a cheerful giver.  By his great grace, he pours out blessings to those who give so that they may be able to give, and reap a harvest of righteousness, all of it resulting in thanksgiving to God.

Have Faith in God
Mark 11:12-25

It is not easy to keep the faith because of sin in and around us, but faith is what gives us strength and power and enables us to bear good fruit unto God.  Jesus cursed a fig tree that represented a hypocritical people that had no faith.  Jesus then teaches his disciples to combine faith with prayer, that will enable us to trust in God and love one another.
