Sermons on Discipleship
Living in Light of the Day
to worship with us today. If there are questions that you have, or things that we can be praying for, we would love to talk with you! “Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved.” The amazing thing about the gospel, indeed a stumbling block for many, is the truth that Jesus saves us, not because of works done by us in righteousness, but…
Essentials for Spiritual Growth
We are so glad that you are joining us for our time of worship this morning. As believers, we know that we are saved when the gospel call transforms our hearts of stone into hearts of flesh. At a particular moment in time, we are made new creations in Christ. But from that time on, we are involved in a constant process of growth and maturity. We learn more about the God…
The King’s Suffering
Last week we came to the high point of Matthew’s gospel as Peter declared that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of the Living God. In one of the most dramatic and sudden shifts in the whole New Testament, this week we will find out what it will mean for the Christ to accomplish his work. This is not the messiah that these men were expecting. This is the King, but this…
Missing the Signs
Thank you for joining us for worship here at Chapel City Church. We are glad that you are here, and we would love to know more about you and how we can be praying for you. This week, we will move into Matthew chapter 16. We have seen what kind of Kingdom Jesus is offering. It’s a kingdom of power, of restoration, of wholeness and plenty. And we have seen that this…
Following, Fear, and Faith
We are glad that you have joined us for worship this week. As we continue to work through Matthew 8 and 9, we remain focused on the idea of Christ’s authority. He has shown his authority over disease as he heals a leper, a centurion’s servant, and Peter’s mother in law. He has demonstrated that discipleship is a costly thing, and that those who…
The Demands of Discipleship
Welcome to October Chapel City Church! What a year this has been for all of us. As you move into a new month, please let us know how we can be praying for you or ministering to you. We understand that with constant uncertainty can come additional burdens, be they financial, emotional, or spiritual. We would love the opportunity to pray with you and for you, and to…
The Disciple’s Directive
We know that the format has changed, but we also know that the power of God, the authority of His word, and the blessing of being a part of the body of Christ remains unchanged! This week we will work through the familiar words of Matthew 5 that call disciples of Christ to be salt and light. In a world that is perishing in darkness, kingdom citizens are to be altogether…
The Essentials: Discipleship
We are in the middle of a series of messages that work through the Mission, Core Values, and Strategies of our church. Sometimes, the things that we do as a church seem disconnected. Our core values are the things that should tie all of them together. This week, we will look at the third of our core values: discipleship. If we judge by their actions, many church members…
Family for the Glory of God: Part 4 – PARENTS
Over the last two weeks, we have enjoyed the time that we spent reflecting on the perfect sacrifice of Jesus Christ. His sinless life and obedience in death made salvation possible for all those who place their faith in Him. This week we will move back into the book of Colossians, and continue…
A Healthy Church
(Click “SAVE” above to download sermon and notes.) Today, we will be looking into what it means to be a healthy church. You will find that it is the same as a healthy life—Christ at the center of it all. For by him all things were created, in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities—all things were…
Spiritual Housecleaning
We sometimes walk into our garage and see it through fresh eyes. How did we gather so much clutter that is choking our space? It’s too bad that we don’t have that revelation more often when it comes to our spiritual lives. We’ve gathered so much spiritual junk that it’s hard just to get through the day with a positive attitude, let alone lead productive lives. Sunday we…
