Sermons on Humility (Page 2)
When Worldviews Collide
Welcome to Chapel City Church! We are so glad that you have joined us today for our time of worship. As we continue working through Matthew 20, we are going to be confronted with two very different worldviews. We know that as disciples of Christ, we are supposed to think and react differently than others. However, many times our thinking looks a lot like the world around…
Coming into the Kingdom
Welcome to Chapel City Church. We are so glad that you have joined us for our time of worship this morning. We are moving back into Matthew 19 where the focus turns to the coming kingdom. Jesus has preached about the kingdom that is to come, and the need for repentance. The people have expectations for what that kingdom will look like, and who will enter into it. But who…
Debts & Debtors
Welcome to Chapel City Church! Thank you for joining us as we gather together to worship Jesus Christ, our savior and king. As we have worked through Mathew 18, we have seen disciples compared to children and to sheep. Both of those ought to lead us to live lives of consistent humility. And over the last couple of weeks, we looked at how necessary that humility was as we…
The Heart Behind the Hard Things
Welcome to Chapel City Church. We are so glad that you have joined us for our time of worship together today. Last week we looked at a passage that was easy to understand but very difficult to apply. Discipline is not something that we normally think of as encouraging and uplifting. However, we have to remember that discipline is both instructive and corrective. In…
A Love for the Little Ones
We are so glad that you are joining us on this very special Sunday. As we continue working through Matthew 18, we come to a very familiar parable of a man who leaves 99 sheep in order to seek out the 1 that was lost. But this is more than a sweet story. This is a powerful reminder of the love of God for his “little ones.” How does understanding this parable…
Kingdom Greatness
Good morning and welcome to Chapel City Church! We live in a world that pursues greatness at any cost. Whether it’s the desire to be great in business, great in politics, or great in sports, the draw is always there. As we move into Matthew 18, the disciples ask Jesus what it will mean to be great in the coming kingdom. His answer is not what they were expecting!…
The Identity of the King
Welcome to Chapel City Church! We are glad that you have come to worship with us today. As we work through the Gospel of Matthew, one of the key questions has been, “who is Jesus?” Matthew told us from the very beginning that he was the Christ, the son of Abraham, and the Son of David. The angel announced to Joseph that he would be conceived of the Holy…
Living Wisely in Difficult Times
There aren’t too many people who will be sorry to see 2020 in the rearview mirror. We’ve been getting hit from so many sides at once and feel like we can’t take another blow – but they just keep coming. We need wisdom to know how we should live in the midst of it all. Fortunately, wise living isn’t something that is reserved only for sages or…
Judgement: Planks & Pigs
We have been working through the Sermon on the Mount, and this week we will open up Matthew chapter 7. The opening verses of this chapter contain some of the most often quoted words in the New Testament. “Judge not, that you not be judged” has made its way into movies, song lyrics, and family arguments over the dinner table. But what does Jesus mean when he calls…
The Beatitudes: Blessed Are…part 1
We are glad that you have come to worship with us this week. In our study of Matthew’s gospel, we have seen the presentation and testing of the King. Now, Jesus begins His public ministry that will involve two main components: teaching and healing. In the coming weeks we will work through the first and longest teaching section in the book of Matthew- The Sermon on…
Presenting the King
We are so glad that you are here to worship with us today. We are working through the Gospel of Matthew, and we have already been introduced to some very important themes and ideas. Jesus is presented as the promised son of Abraham who will bless the nations. He is shown to be the son of David, the coming King of Kings. He is Immanuel, God with us, worthy of worship. As…
The Strategy: Serve (Part 2)
This week marks the conclusion of the sermon series that we started in September. Over the course of these last two months, we have looked at the vision, core values, and strategies of the church. Essentially, we are trying to communicate the reason that we exist and the practical steps that are necessary to carry out that mission. Last week, we looked at service and what…
