City Bible Church: Weekly Sermons

In this sermon, Jesus reminds his disciples that true faith is abiding in him as he is the Vine and believers are the branches and God, being the Vinedresser, will work to make to produce maximum fruit for his glory.

3 Eternal promises from Romans 8 we can rest our heads and hopes in every trial and difficult circumstances.

In this sermon, we are reminded of how the life and ministry of Jesus Christ transforms wives and husbands.

We go to a passage today that will provide a visualization of the beauty, importance, and power of the Word of God. Reminding us of the centrality that it ought to have in our lives. 1 Kings 17 is a narrative visually depicting what the Word of the Lord does. 1. Act 1: Yahweh's Word Is Special 2. Act 2: Yahweh's Word Is Trustworthy 3. Act 3: Yahweh's Word Is Powerful

The family is the most important unit of human relationships, and the Gospel of Jesus Christ impacts those relationships in ways that are out of this world. In this sermon, we look at the marks of Spirit-filled children and parents.

We began this series because we believed there were four reasons why we needed the Epistle to Titus in this season of our church’s life: 1. We need affirmation that we are a sound church 2. We need to remember the importance of sound doctrine 3. We need help to cultivate more discipleship 4. We need to show good works in a bad world On this 16 week journey we learned how experiencing the Grace of...

With the glorious truth of the Gospel that Paul mentioned in 3:3-7, now he challenges Titus and those who are in Crete to grow in applying that truth, as well as protecting it from problematic people in the church. Two principles that a sound church should apply: 1. Cultivate the Profitable 2. Cut Out the Unprofitable

The Gospel gives us an understanding of why it's impossible for us to live any other way than what Paul has described the Christian to be in Titus. 1. Scene 1 - Desperate Sinner 2. Scene 2 - A Kind God Acts 3. Scene 3 - Miraculous Regeneration 4. Scene 4 - A Glorious Inheritance Awaits

As Christians, we must remember our obligations in society. Two reminders: 1. Our Relationship with Authorities 2. Our Relationship with Neighbors

1 Samuel 1:1-2:11 As we celebrate Mother’s Day, we want God’s Word to provoke us to faithfulness. We find that encouragement by turning to 1 Samuel 1-2, to see a portrait of a faithful woman, a faithful mother, and a faithful believer who put her trust in the Lord. Hannah’s faithfulness was used by God to change the entire course of Israel’s history. Likewise, may we be amazed with how our Lord ca...

4 truths about the Grace of God in your life, if you’re a Christian. It's this grace that enables you to transfer sound doctrine into sound living. 1. The Grace of God Saves 2. The Grace of God Sanctifies 3. The Grace of God Sustains 4. The Grace of God Secures

The average adult spends 8 hours working, 8 hours sleeping, and 8 hours allotted for free time. Generally speaking a third of your life is spent at work. It’d be a shame for this allocated time to not be used to put the Gospel on display. Titus 2:9-10 helps us live godly from 9-5, Monday through Friday. 1. The Who 2. The What 3. The Why

Easter 2022 1 Corinthians 15 will help us answer 3 very important questions. The first two questions lead us to the third question, which is our focus, “How can I properly face death?” 1. Is the resurrection of Jesus real? 2. What do I do with my biggest problem? 3. How do I properly face death?

If we live in a world of boys masquerading as men, that results in spiritually weak men, weak churches, weak marriages, weak homes, and weak societies. Paul understood the vulnerability of younger men & the the significance of younger men in the church. Therefore he calls Titus to urge the younger men to act in a specific way for the glory of God. 1. The Exhortation (v.6) 2. The Example (v.7-8)

The Gospel that saves, is also the Gospel that produces sound living -Sound church -Sound elders -Sound doctrine -Sound living -Sound examples -Sound older men -Sound older women -Who invest into sound younger women, who then have sound homes (per God's perfect design) 4 Priories for younger women: 1. Love Your Family 2. Care About Your Sanctification 3. Build Up Your Home 4. Pursue Biblical Submi...

Caring for the needs of older saints is a given. But in Titus 2:3 we find out how the older women are called to care for the younger saints in the church. According to Titus 2:3, older women… 1. You Have an Identity to Embrace 2. You Have Idols to Forsake 3. You Have an Important Mission to Complete

A sound church is to have sound elders, who teach sound doctrine. As a result, this ought to impact the Christian's life as they enter into that sphere of influence. Unlike the false doctrine of 1:10-16, the teaching of sound doctrine ought to produce these three things: 1. Sound Living 2. Sound Examples 3. Sound Older Men

If we were to make Titus 1:9-14 into a headline, it would read... “False Teachers on the Island of Crete are Hurting Families" That threat is just as relevant for the church today. Therefore, qualified elders are called to: 1. Help the Church Cherish the Word 2. Help Protect the Church from Wolves

What words would someone use to describe you? A Neighbor, a co-worker, a parent, a spouse, a child, a church member, what do you think they’d say? Paul provides 11 words in Titus 1:7-8 that describe the character of a pastor in the church. Elders are to be examples of Christ to the flock. Members to be examples of Christ to the watching world. You as a steward are called to represent Jesus well. S...

Elders are to be examples of Christ to the flock. Members to be examples of Christ to the watching world. So what are some qualifications of an elder & how do these qualifications apply to all believers in the church? 1. Qualified, because they are appointed 2. Qualified, because they are above reproach 3. Qualified, because they are godly husbands 4. Qualified, because they are godly fathers

In this text, Jesus wants you to be selfish in the way you spend His money. Say what? Yes, you read that correctly.

Titus 1:5 helps us understand Christ's blueprints for leadership in the church. We will answer three questions: 1. What is the leadership structure of the church 2. Who is an elder? 3. What does an elder do?

Two essential pillars of a healthy church & ministry: 1. Knowing the Master 2. Knowing the Mission
