City Bible Church: Weekly Sermons

In these verses we learn how God is absolutely gracious in saving sinners by means of preaching in the Spirit’s power. And because of God’s power and graciousness, He deserves appropriate praise. 

Easter 2024 What Christians believe about the cross is considered absurd to those who are lost, but to those of us who are being saved, it is the power and the wisdom of God. 1. The Folly of the Cross 2. The Wisdom of the Cross 3. The Power of the Cross

Good Friday 2024 We study an event in Israel’s history that Jesus used to illustrate His death on the cross. As we look at the illustration we get a better understanding of Jesus’ work of Salvation. Two scenes: 1. The Poison in Rebel Veins 2. The Antidote from Our Gracious God

We look at four steps to bring about disunity, in order to avoid them and instead cultivate unity. 1. You ignore the assignment - v.10 2. You pledge allegiance to personalities - v.11-12 3. You underestimate the danger of disunity - v.13-16 4. You forget the power source for change - v.17

If you are a Christian, your past, present, and future is defined by grace… 1. Our Identity Is Rooted in Past Grace 2. Our Identity is Rooted in Present Grace 3. Our Identity is Rooted in Future Grace

Regardless of time, culture, or person, there is only one blueprint for every church ministry.

1 Corinthians is a gem that at times is overlooked. Though known for its chapters on love and the resurrection, as well as often read before the Lord’s Table, our desire is for this letter to take the truth of the Gospel and have it permeate different aspects of our lives.  Paul applied solutions to the spiritual problems at Corinth with the goal to see a holy Church as a healthy witness of Christ...

In this concluding sermon we see that the recipients of Malachi’s prophecy are broken up into two groups.  Those who have rejected God and are under his judgement. The righteous remnant that reveres the name of the Lord and await His reward. God’s people must be prepared for the coming Day of the Lord. 1. The Make Believers and the Real Believers in the Present - (3:13-18) 2. The Make Believers an...

In Malachi 2:17-3:12 we unpack two truths that ought to direct and define our worship.  1. God is Holy & Comes to Refine 2. God is Merciful & Calls Sinners to Return

Malachi's correction and rebuke of Israel will aid us in our progressive sanctification as new covenant believers. The call is for us to be faithful to the covenant community, God’s Word, and to our marriages. To view the importance of marriage fidelity the way God does. 1. God Calls Us to Be Faithful to One Another 2. God Calls Us to Be Faithful to His Word 3. God Calls Us to Be Faithful in our M...

How’s your worship? Is it pleasing to the Lord? What should it look like? Malachi 1:6-2:9 helps us understand what kind of worship is rejected, and as a result accepted by the Lord.

Is it possible to forgive someone but not “trust” them? In the final part of our Philemon series, listen to 7 questions and answers about one of the most shocking verses in the New Testament.

If you are struggling with forgiveness, if you are struggling with restoring a relationship, this text is helpful. In Philemon 1:8-16 you are encouraged with three appeals to forgive a fellow Christian.

As we embark on studying Apostle Paul’s short letter to Philemon, the objective is to learn what Biblical forgiveness and reconciliation is.  As a Christian are you ready to forgive? What does the character of the one who forgives look like? 1. I am a recipient of grace 2. I have an active faith 3. I cherish the fellowship 4. I strive to refresh others

In this sermon, let the Word of God make the eyes of your heart see crystal clear for this coming year.

We celebrate Christmas by adoring Jesus and pondering the doctrine of the incarnation. However, instead of focusing on the “what” of the birth narrative, we emphasize the “so what,” the significance of Jesus' birth. In John’s gospel account there’s no Mary, Joseph, star, animals, shepherds, or magi. Instead we have "the Word became flesh."

What should be the response as we contemplate and more deeply understand what Jesus has done for us? 1) To be excited about kingdom work. To be generous with our time, our energy, and our resources for the community & for the lost. 2) To know that we spend December celebrating the incarnation of Jesus, because He came to seek sinners. If you’re a sinner that has not been found yet, you can be toda...

The Apostle Paul gives a command to follow his example and others who have a relentless pursuit of Christ. In this sermon, we learn the importance of Christian community to both exemplify and follow the example of faithful Christians.

Guest Pastor Josh Petras joins us this Sunday preaching on Joshua 7, the story of Achan. He unpacks six points to help us see sin clearly, the way God sees it.

We Must Stayed Focused - v.7 2. We Must Be A Family - v.8-9 3. We Must Minister To One Another - v. 10-11
