Christ Church of Mt Airy Sermons

As we consider the mission of the church as presented in scripture the word “GO” seems to be the word God uses as He SENDS people into the unknown, the unpredictable, the uncomfortable for His purposes.

In Matthew 28 we see the reactions to the empty tomb and the resurrected Jesus include fear, great joy and worship, but ultimately the reaction needs to be obedience to Jesus’s command to “Go and Tell” those who have not heard of His triumph over sin and death for them.

In considering our GO mission to spread the Gospel to those who God has put in our life, we find in Romans 9 that the position of our hearts should be grieved by their state of separation from Christ, which should motivate us even further to extend grace and care to them.

The relationship between Philemon, Onesimus, and Paul mirrors God's relationship to us with Christ as the mediator, and it illustrates how to handle messy relationships with grace, encouragement, and action.

In the closing sermon in our series on Colossians we examine the final verse of the letter where Paul says, "grace be with you," he has a lot in mind: common grace, spiritual grace, strengthening grace, training grace, and more!

In Psalm 103 David shows us how to encourage our souls with the truth found in blessing the Lord for what he has done, for who he is and his compassionate rule.

By taking refuge in the only true God we can find eternal, unshakable fullness and joy and be spared the abandonment of our soul by God.

Despite all the chaos and opposition in this world, in Psalm 46 we find that we can have confidence that God is sovereign over all of history, including our own.

In the final greetings of Paul's letter to the Colossians we get a behind the scenes glimpse of how Jesus builds his church

We are created to work for God as his ambassadors by declaring the preeminence of God in all things.
