Sermons on Faith (Page 3)
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…
Called to Worship
This week we will have the privilege of hearing from one of our elders: Walter Lopatka. We have been looking at the Lord’s Prayer, but this week our attention will move to the book of Hebrews. We were created for the purpose of worship and fellowship with God. But why does that call matter and what motivates us to carry out that great purpose? What did the people of…
Real Righteousness: Prayer
Good morning and welcome to Chapel City Church! We are thrilled to be able to begin thinking through what it looks like for us to be able to gather again in person on Sunday mornings. We recognize that it will be a long road to get back to “normal,” but we know that the Lord directs and oversees every step of the process. We hope that whether you worship with us in…
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…
The Grateful Samaritan
We’re glad you’re here to worship with us this morning. We’re entering into a season of holidays that can be uplifting and spiritually rewarding, or they can be just another tradition. We want to pour real meaning into Thanksgiving and make it a part of our lives. We’ll see today how sincere gratitude reflects the heart of people who are being…
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…
The Strategy: Reach
We are so glad that you are here to worship with us. Just over a month ago, we began our series on the Mission, Core Values, and Strategies of the church. While it can be difficult to piece all of these things together, understanding them will help us have a clearer idea of who we are as a church and why the Lord has placed us here. If our mission is one of calling all…
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…
The Essentials: Generosity
As we move into the Fall season, we have begun to work through the Mission, Core Values, and Strategies of our church. It can be difficult to connect those things and to understand why they matter. Essentially, our mission tells us why we are here, our core values tell us what is important to us, and our strategies show us how to move forward. This week we will look at…
A Hopeful Hosanna
We are so glad that you are worshiping with us today. This week is a special time of preparation. As we look forward to celebrating the resurrection of Christ, it’s essential that we understand who and what we are celebrating. Roughly two thousand years ago, Jesus Christ rode into Jerusalem in what we know as the triumphal entry. The crowds cheered Him, the…
Transformed from “Come & See” to “Go & Be Like Me”
(Click “SAVE” above to download the sermon and notes.) Jesus began his ministry with a simple call for a few men to “come and see” who he was and what he was going to do. Jesus transformed our world and the people he interacted with, especially those disciples. He leads them from…

If you are a regular attendee or…
