Sermons on Freedom
The Fight for Freedom
Welcome to our time of worship here at Chapel City Church. As we open God’s word to Galatians 5, we will continue to think through what it means to live in the freedom that Christ has given us. Last week we saw that our freedom was not for selfish gain, but that it was an opportunity to serve others in love. But where do we get the ability to do that? If our flesh…

Family Ties
Thank you for joining us for our time of worship here at Chapel City Church. This week we will finish chapter 4 of Galatians. This portion of scripture is widely said to be one of the more difficult passages in the book.

Transformed from Bondage to Freedom
Click “SAVE” to download the sermon and notes. Today we will see how Jesus never shied away from interacting with the hurt, sick, or troubled. Unlike other teachers of his day, he made it a point to share the love of God with the “unlovable” in order to display the transforming power he offers all people. The power to transform people out of their…
Set Free to Transform
(Click on “Save” above to download this week’s sermon notes) In this final of three studies on freedom in Christ, we look out beyond ourselves. As our lives are transformed, demonstrating the fruit of the Spirit, we become transformers under God’s direction. This amazing truth means that we are not the final destination of the fruit of the Spirit,…
Set Free to Serve
(Click on “Save” above to download this week’s sermon notes) It’s for freedom we’ve been set free! We’re revisiting real freedom. Free to live, and now free to serve. How can that be? Doesn’t freedom mean untethered and unaccountable? Sunday we’ll see that our lives take a dramatic turn when we live in the freedom of the…
Embrace God’s Call for You
Embracing God’s call for you can be an intimidating proposition if you think the task is too big or you are too small. Half way through Paul’s letter, Timothy probably felt that way. Sunday we’ll look at what’s required if you are going to step into service for God in spite of your misgivings and what you need to know if you’re going to be…
The Path to Freedom
This weekend our thoughts turn to our country’s most fundamental statement of freedom 240 years ago. Freedom is one of our greatest values but is too often misunderstood. We listen to the truth of Jesus when he said, “If the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.” Sunday we look at that reality to see what it means, how we are still enslaved, and…
