Sermons from 2018
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…
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…
The Son of Promise
(Click “SAVE” above to download sermon and notes.) The signs of Christmas are beginning to appear. The streets are decorated, the church is dressed for the season, and even the weather is (slightly) cooler. All of these things come together and start to give us a sense of expectation. The anticipation of Christmas is one of the most wonderful parts of…
Transformed from “Come & See” to “Go & Be Like Me”
(Click “SAVE” above to download the sermon and notes.) Jesus began his ministry with a simple call for a few men to “come and see” who he was and what he was going to do. Jesus transformed our world and the people he interacted with, especially those disciples. He leads them from…
Transformed from Death to Life
(Click “SAVE” above to download the sermon and notes.) In a week where we set aside time to be thankful, we want you to know that we are thankful for YOU! If you are a visitor, thank you for making time to worship with us. If you have any questions about who we are or what we do here, then we would love to connect with you. If you are a regular attendee or…
Transformed from Blindness to Sight
(Click “SAVE” above to download the sermon and notes.) The past week or so has been a difficult time for many of us. We have seen tragedy and terror strike close to home. We have seen fires and all of the uncertainty that comes with natural disaster. And yet, as we saw last week, we are called to be a people who are faithful rather than fearful. That kind of…
Transformed from Fearful to Faithful
(Click “SAVE” above to download the sermon and notes.) There are times when even the strongest of us become fearful. The fear might come because of outside circumstances; uncertainty at work, political unrest, or upheaval in our relationships. But fear might come in silently and internally as well; the fear of the unknown, the nagging of insecurity, or the…
Transformed from Hunger to Satisfied
Click “SAVE” above to download sermon and notes. Every person is working for something, looking for something, or hoping for something to satisfy their strongest desires. Jesus tests and challenges every desire and each method we undertake to find satisfaction. He wants us to choose Him because anything less just won’t satisfy. This Sunday we study the…
Transformed from Bondage to Freedom
Click “SAVE” to download the sermon and notes. Today we will see how Jesus never shied away from interacting with the hurt, sick, or troubled. Unlike other teachers of his day, he made it a point to share the love of God with the “unlovable” in order to display the transforming power he offers all people. The power to transform people out of their…
Transformed from Dread to Joy
(Please click “SAVE” above to download the sermon and notes.) Last week, Patrick taught us about the miracle of water to wine. Seeing wine created at a wedding is exciting, but we don’t spend most of our lives at celebrations. We live in a world that drags us down with daily cares. That’s why today’s message is so important. The father has the same cares that…
Transformed from Shame to Glory
(To download sermon and notes click “SAVE” above.) Have you ever been surprised when God uses someone or something unexpected to solve your most difficult problems? The position and power of Christ in our life can radically change our perception of what is taking place in our life—especially in the areas of guilt and shame. Christ has the ability and desire to…
