The King’s Authority

As we move through Matthew chapter 4, we have seen Jesus as the tested King. Although He was tempted, he proved faithful in every way. Now, the King will begin His public ministry among the people. If Jesus is who Matthew claims Him to be, then we would expect that this ministry is carried out with a certain authority. What we find in our passage today is a demonstration…

The Essentials: Outreach

We have been working through the mission of our church, and the priorities that must be in place if we are going to carry out that mission. If we say that we are calling all people to receive, demonstrate, and declare God’s transforming grace through Jesus Christ, then we have to have a biblical understanding of what that will look like. We have worked through the…

The Essentials: Relationship

Last week we began to work through the Mission, Core Values, and Strategies of Chapel City Church. When Jesus Christ called and saved His church, He left her with a mission to work at until His return. We are a people who are called to make disciples, but we have to understand what that looks like. In our mission statement, we are reminded that we are to be a people who…

Sweeter than Honey; More Precious than Gold

This week, many people will be making the final preparations before the start of another school year. It means backpacks, paper, folders, pencils, and brand new textbooks. Over the course of the year, students will spend hours reading and re-reading to prepare for classes, quizzes, and tests. This week, like every week, most of us will carry a book to church with us. So…

The Once & Future King

As we move through the summer, we will encounter several different kinds of Psalms. We began with Psalm 1, which is a wisdom Psalm. Last week, we studied Psalm 2 which is a messianic Psalm. These Psalms have meaning and context in the time that they were written, but they ultimately point to Jesus Christ for their fulfillment. This week we will look at another messianic…

Work to the Glory of God

Over the last month or so, we have looked at God’s design for the family, and how our obedience is an act of worship. This week we move from the home into the workplace. Paul addresses bondservants and masters in Colossians 3:22-4:1. While the social construct is very different, there is great value in thinking through our biblical response to authority. Each of us…

All the Fullness of God

We are moving through the book of Colossians, and we have titled our study “Living in Light of the Glory of Christ.” Paul writes to the church in Colossae because they have been exposed to a dangerous false teaching. People have come to them with a message that sounds spiritual, that is packaged as Christianity, but that has departed from the true message of the…

Sola Scriptura – The Final Word

(Click on “Save” above to download this week’s sermon notes.) 500 years ago this month a German monk allegedly nailed a document to the door of a church in Wittenburg Germany. The Reformation that this event encapsulates did not just change a generation or a country, it led to a rediscovery of biblical Christianity that stands to this day. This week and…
