Sermons on Pride
The Heart of the Matter
Welcome to Chapel City Church! Now that we have laid the foundation for wisdom, seen the source of wisdom, and explored the hope of wisdom, we need to begin thinking through how to apply wisdom. The Proverbs give practical insight into a number of different situations and circumstances that we encounter in our lives. But how do we take the knowledge of how to respond and…
Temporary Treasures
This week we will open up James chapter 5 together. This chapter begins with a severe warning against those who would abuse their wealth. But before we assume that James has it out for rich people, or that it doesn’t apply to us because WE aren’t rich, let’s consider the context. We know that conflict is driven by selfish desires. We have seen how there…
Where Conflict Comes From, part 2
Welcome to Chapel City Church! Last week we opened up James Chapter 4 and looked at where conflict comes from.

The Peril of Spiritual Pride

If you have any questions or specific items that we can pray for, please reach out and let us know. This week we will move on in Matthew 26 and look at the danger of spiritual pride.

Godliness & Contentment
(Click on “Save” above to download this week’s sermon notes) It makes sense that this would lead us to a satisfying lifestyle. But what happens when it’s missing? Patrick explores the reality that this is not just a positive addition to our lives. The absence of godliness with contentment leads to serious consequences. As he opens up 1 Timothy 6:2b-10…
