Sermons on Worship (Page 3)
The Blessing of Brotherhood
This week we will worship together through song and study, but we will also gather together to celebrate communion. The celebration of the Lord’s Supper is one of those things that binds us together as believers. We remember that each of us is sinful, and that our sin separates us from God. We remember that there is one savior, Jesus Christ, whose death on the cross…
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,…
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…
Work to the Glory of God
Over the last month or so, we have looked at God’s design for the family, and how our obedience is an act of worship. This week we move from the home into the workplace. Paul addresses bondservants and masters in Colossians 3:22-4:1. While the social construct is very different, there is great value in thinking through our biblical response to authority. Each of us…
Family for the Glory of God: Part 5 – Divorce & Singleness
We are moving through the Book of Colossians, and we have come to the portion of chapter 3 that deals with families. Over the last 4 weeks we have looked at the ways in which we honor God as wives, husbands, children, and parents. We have seen that in all of these things our primary response is…
Family for the Glory of God: Part 4 – PARENTS
Over the last two weeks, we have enjoyed the time that we spent reflecting on the perfect sacrifice of Jesus Christ. His sinless life and obedience in death made salvation possible for all those who place their faith in Him. This week we will move back into the book of Colossians, and continue…
Family for the Glory of God, Part 3: CHILDREN
This Sunday is a special one for our church family. Our youth group is taking an active part in serving and leading our congregation in worship. These young men and women meet on Sunday mornings and Thursday evenings through the year, and they are excited to be an integral part of this body. We would encourage you to thank them, pray for them, and get to know them. And it…
Family for the Glory of God, Part 1: WIVES
As we work through Colossians 3, we have seen a number of ways that believers are called to live in light of their faith in Christ. We are to be a people who are kind and compassionate, humble and patient, meek and forgiving. We are called to be loving and peaceful in the midst of a world that is anything but loving and peaceful. This kind of change is only possible…
Character Traits of the Family of God, Part 2
We are glad that you have come to worship with us today. The foundation for the book of Colossians has been the truth of the person and work of Jesus Christ. We have to recognize His preeminent place in all of creation so that we respond rightly in worship. We have to understand that His death on the cross and His resurrection from the grave are the only means of being in…
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…
Great is the Lord
(Click “SAVE” above to download the sermon and notes.) Today, our service will look a little bit different than normal, but for very good reason. Churches go through seasons of change. Over the past year, this body has seen the retirement of Pastor Jim who was a faithful shepherd for over 30 years. We have said goodbye to Pastor Patrick as he and his family…
