Sermons on Jesus Christ
The Week That Changed Human History
Good morning and welcome to Chapel City Church! We are moving through what is known as the passion week, the final week of Christ’s ministry before going to the cross. If we were to read through each of the gospel accounts, we would find that the writers dedicate a huge percentage of their narratives to this single week. We know that the death, burial and…
The Kingdom is Like… part 1: The Purpose of the Parables
. This week we will move into Matthew 13. In the same context as the opposition of the religious leaders and the warnings to the crowds, we are introduced to the next major teaching portion of the gospel. This time, Jesus will address the crowd with a series of parables about the Kingdom of God.…
The Resplendent Light of Christmas
Have you ever setup your own nativity scene or one for someone else? As you know, in that scene, there are various pieces, from the lesser important (but still important) shepherds, sheep, angels, stable (which in all likelihood was a cave), animals, Mary, Joseph, to the most important Jesus. Now often times, while the scene is being setup, we are in a hurry to get…
The King Comes into His City
As we come into our “new normal,” this week we are confronted with celebrating very traditional times in a very non-traditional way. We will celebrate the Lord’s Supper together, although we cannot physically be together. We will remember Palm Sunday and the entry of Christ into Jerusalem, but we cannot be together to sing His praise. Perhaps this will give us…
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 King’s Testing
As we come together to worship, we hope that you are encouraged in your walk and challenged to live a life of submission and obedience to Christ. This week, we will begin to open up Matthew chapter 4. The King has been presented and the Father has testified that this is the beloved Son in whom He is well pleased. Now, it is time for the King to be tested. Jesus is led…
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 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…
The Folly of Man-Made Religion
Today, we will begin by going back to the last two verses of the passage from last week. These two verses are the pivot point of the book and are worth a second look. Last week, Matt talked about the results we should see in our lives because we have received Christ Jesus as Lord. This week, we will focus on the truth that Jesus is enough for us. We don’t know all the…
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…
The Son of God
(Click “SAVE” above to download the sermon and notes.) Merry Christmas, and welcome to Chapel City Church! We are only days away from celebrating the birth of our savior, Jesus Christ. If you haven’t been with us (or if you need the reminder), we have been working through a series called, “What Child is This?” While the song is familiar, the…
The Son of Adam
(Click “Save” above to download the sermon and notes.) During this Advent season, there is a great deal of anticipation. Some of that anticipation is the excitement and joy that surrounds this season. We look forward to friends, family, gifts, food, and so many wonderful things. Some of that anticipation comes closer to apprehension. The season might bring…
