Weekends at Willow

Welcome to Willow! We’re so excited to gather on Sundays—in person and online—for services, kids, and student programs. As always, you can check out a service on Willow Online, or plan a Sunday visit at one of our Chicagoland locations.

The Jesus Way

Current SeriesThe Jesus Way

In a culture filled with Christian influencers, popular preachers, and social media-savvy churches, it’s easy to assume we understand who Jesus is—but what if that picture is incomplete? This series returns to Jesus’ own words in Matthew 5–7, the Sermon on the Mount, to rediscover His way. Often reduced to a list of moral dos and don’ts, these chapters actually reveal a radically different kind of life—one marked by deep surrender, internal transformation, and wholehearted alignment with the values of God’s Kingdom.

CHASING THE WRONG THINGS
January 4

When Jesus opened the Sermon on the Mount with ‘Blessed are…,’ He invited people into a radically different way of living. Discover how the Beatitudes continue to shape the Church—and us—today.

WHAT DIFFERENCE CAN OUR LIVES MAKE?
January 11

Jesus’ call to be the salt of the earth and light of the world isn’t an individual aspiration, but a communal goal to grow in faith so that the others see and step in.

ANGER CAN TAKE YOU DOWN
January 18

Matthew 5:22 says unchecked anger can be as damaging as murder, harming relationships and God’s image in others, and Jesus invites us to reconcile in a new way!

DIVORCE, PURITY, & THE HEART BEHIND THE RULES
January 25

In Matthew 5:27–37, Jesus teaches us to honor others and pursue faithfulness in every relationship. His call to healing and restoration shows how God’s love can transform our lives and communities.

WHAT IF LOVE MEANT MORE THAT YOU THOUGHT?
February 1

Rather than fighting back or backing down, Jesus offers a courageous third way: breaking the cycle of hate through love, forgiveness, and dignity. This radical response of love leads to true peace, freedom, and a transformed life.
