Sermons on Christ (Page 3)
Living as Lights, part 4
Welcome to Chapel City Church! Although we can’t gather together in person at this time, we know that God is still working in the lives of His people. The church has never been a place that we gather, but has always been the body of believers that Christ has called to Himself. That means that although the doors of the building are closed, the mission and ministry of…
Living as Lights, part 2
We are glad that you are worshipping with us and doing what you can to stay connected to the body of Christ during this time. If there is a way that we can help you to stay connected, please reach out and let us know! We are working through the Sermon on the Mount, and we have come to a number of statements where Jesus interacts with the Law. He takes what the people have…
Living as Lights
We are so glad that you are worshipping with us during these difficult times. Although we weren’t able to celebrate Easter in a way that seemed “normal,” our prayer is that you were encouraged to worship in light of what God has done to redeem us, and to anticipate not only our time of coming together again, but even more so to long for HIS coming! This week,…
The Line of the King
We are glad that you have come to worship with us today. We are just getting underway in our study of the Gospel of Matthew. Last week we went through some introductory material, and we looked at the first group of names in Matthew’s genealogy. We saw that Jesus Christ was the promised son of David, a promise that looked for a king who would rule and reign as no…
The King & His Kingdom
We hope that your Christmas was a wonderful time of worship and reflection as we remember the faithfulness of God in sending a savior into the world. As we come into the new year, we are beginning our journey through a new book: The Gospel of Matthew. The word gospel means good news, and this is Matthew’s presentation of the good news of the person and work of Jesus…
Resolved
We are glad that you are here to worship with us today. We have come to the end of another year. Most of us had plans and goals that we wanted to see accomplished in 2019. Some of them happened, and it’s likely that some of them did not. As we look forward to 2020, what kinds of things should we prioritize in the coming year? There are a thousand different things…
Prepare Him Room: Joy
As we continue to “Prepare Him Room” during this advent season, this week we look at the joy that comes in the promise of a savior. As we have done the last couple of weeks, we will take a promise made in the Old Testament and understand how it relates to the Christmas season. When Isaiah speaks of hope, peace, and joy, he does so in a specific context. It’s…
Prepare Him Room: Peace
We are moving through our Advent series called “Prepare Him Room.” Last week we lit the candle of hope and remembered the hope that comes from the faithfulness of God. He promised a redeemer and king over His people, and that promise finds its fulfillment in Jesus Christ. This week, we light the candle of peace. We live in a time where peace is a hard thing to come…
Prepare Him Room: HOPE
Ready or not, Christmas is coming quickly. Sadly, most of the time we come into the season less ready than we should. We know the story, we know the songs, and we even know that the crazy isn’t what it’s all about. But we still struggle to really prepare our hearts for the celebration that Christmas ought to be. Perhaps that’s where you find yourself…
The Strategy: Grow
This week, we are continuing to look at our “strategies;” those things that help us practically evaluate whether we are being faithful to our calling. This Sunday we will look at growth in the Christian life. We are being faithful when we foster an environment that leads to lives transformed by God through increasing love, knowledge, and obedience to His word. But…
The Strategy: Connect
We are coming into the second week where we are thinking through our church strategies. The mission statement is why we exist, the core values are those things that must characterize us, and these strategies are those practical items that gauge our faithfulness to our calling. This morning we will look at the idea of connection; the bond of relationship that goes beyond a…
Suffering, Sorrow, & Salvation
For the last two weeks we have looked at Psalm 2 and Psalm 110. They are known as messianic Psalms because they point beyond the author’s own experience into the future and the promise of the messiah who was yet to come. In the coming weeks we are going to work through lament Psalms; songs of those who cry out to God in distress and turmoil. This week we are going…
