Sermons on Sin (Page 2)
Defeating Death
Welcome to our time of worship here at Chapel City Church. We are so glad that you have joined us today, and we would love to know how we can be praying for you or ministering to you during this time. As we have worked through Matthew 8 and 9, we have seen a pattern develop. Matthew presents a series of miracles followed by a section where people respond to Christ. This…
The King’s Call
We are so glad that you have come to worship with us today. We have been working our way through chapters 8 and 9 in Matthew’s gospel, and we have seen that they focus heavily on the authority of Jesus Christ. He teaches with authority, he heals with authority, he casts out demons with authority, and he even has the authority to forgive sins. All of this…
Christ’s Ultimate Authority
Welcome to Chapel City Church! We are so glad that you have joined us for our time of worship this week. As we come to a national election, we are drawn to thinking about what authority looks like and whom it should be entrusted to. As we have worked though Matthew 8, the central focus is on the authority of Jesus Christ. He has the authority to heal diseases,…
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,…
Hope in Hopeless Times
He is risen! Those words have real power. They speak to the power of God. They speak of victory over sin and death. They speak hope into our lives. But in times like these, hope seems to be in short supply. Even if we aren’t afraid of being impacted first-hand by the virus, there are concerns about loved ones, about job security, about when and if the world will…
The Birth of the King
As we move through Matthew’s gospel, we have come to the birth of Jesus. We might be a little late, but we get to celebrate Christmas in January! But what is it that makes this birth so different, so special? Why did Jesus have to come the way that He did, and how does it help us understand who He is? This week we will understand why all of those names at the…
The Line of the King
We are glad that you have come to worship with us today. We are just getting underway in our study of the Gospel of Matthew. Last week we went through some introductory material, and we looked at the first group of names in Matthew’s genealogy. We saw that Jesus Christ was the promised son of David, a promise that looked for a king who would rule and reign as no…
Prepare Him Room: Peace
We are moving through our Advent series called “Prepare Him Room.” Last week we lit the candle of hope and remembered the hope that comes from the faithfulness of God. He promised a redeemer and king over His people, and that promise finds its fulfillment in Jesus Christ. This week, we light the candle of peace. We live in a time where peace is a hard thing to come…
Infinite & Intimate
We are moving into the last month of the summer already, and that means that many of us are preparing for transitions. For some, it is a transition back to a busier work schedule. Many are headed back into ministries of all different kinds around the church. And for a significant number of our families, that means looking ahead to the new school year. As we do that,…
Dealing Daily with Difficulty
As we come together on this Fiesta week, we hope that you will be in prayer for our outreach to the community as we open our building, or that you will come and serve alongside of us as you are able. But why do we do these things? Why do we bother to interact with our neighbors, our co-workers, or our community at all? The reason, of course, is that we believe that they…
Who is God & What is Man?
When we studied Psalm 19, we were confronted with the fact that God has revealed to us what He is like. His creation speaks to His power and glory, and His word reveals His character, His ways, and His plan of redemption through Jesus Christ. This week, we are going to work through Psalm 8. When we understand God, even in the limited way that our finite minds can…
The Testimony of God
We hope that as you worship with us you are encouraged in your faith, challenged in your walk, and ministered to by the Body of Christ. As we continue our summer series on the Psalms, we are going to be looking at another “wisdom” Psalm. Psalm 19 is famous for its content as well as for its beauty. And that is such an appropriate thing since it highlights the wonder…
