Sermons on Obedience (Page 5)
Living as Lights, Part 3
Thank you for worshipping with us here at Chapel City Church! We miss seeing you in person, but we are so thankful that you continue to participate in our live stream services, prayer times, youth gatherings, and the countless other ways that fellowship still takes place when we are physically separated. This week we will move back into Matthew 5 and continue to look at…
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 Disciple’s Directive
We know that the format has changed, but we also know that the power of God, the authority of His word, and the blessing of being a part of the body of Christ remains unchanged! This week we will work through the familiar words of Matthew 5 that call disciples of Christ to be salt and light. In a world that is perishing in darkness, kingdom citizens are to be altogether…
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…
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 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…
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: 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: Outreach
We have been working through the mission of our church, and the priorities that must be in place if we are going to carry out that mission. If we say that we are calling all people to receive, demonstrate, and declare God’s transforming grace through Jesus Christ, then we have to have a biblical understanding of what that will look like. We have worked through the…
