9:30 AM - Traditional Service

Pastor Roberto Chaple's sermon focuses on the importance of leadership within the church community. He emphasizes that leaders play a crucial role in fostering unity, growth, and transformation among believers. Using the acronym APEST (Apostles, Prophets, Evangelists, Shepherds, Teachers), he identifies different types of leaders and their unique contributions to the church.
- Apostles: Groundbreaking leaders who initiate and pioneer new paths in ministry.
- Prophets: Insightful leaders who discern and communicate God's messages, often pointing out areas where individuals or the church may be out of alignment with God's will.
- Evangelists: Catalysts who actively engage in evangelism, leading others to faith in Jesus and facilitating conversions.
- Shepherds (Pastors): Caring leaders who nurture and protect the spiritual well-being of the flock, often providing pastoral care and guidance.
- Teachers: Empowering leaders who equip and educate believers, helping them understand and apply God's Word effectively.
Pastor Chaple encourages individuals to reflect on which type of leader they are called to be and urges them to step up and embrace their role in the church. He emphasizes that the world needs Christian leaders who are committed to serving God's kingdom and making a positive impact on their communities. The sermon concludes with a call to prayer for those who feel called to take on leadership responsibilities within the church.

In her sermon, Pastor Vicki Harrison emphasized the transformative power of faith in Jesus Christ and underscored the significance of the church community in one's spiritual journey. She highlighted the presence of the same Spirit that raised Jesus from the dead within believers, and stressed that, through faith, God can work miraculous deeds in and through them. Pastor Harrison noted the recent lackluster performance of the church, attributing it to a failure to fully embrace the potential transformation through faith in Jesus Christ. She pointed out a tendency to rely on personal strengths and abilities while paying mere lip service to relying on God. She emphasized the need for wholehearted devotion to Jesus to tap into the power of His Kingdom, expressing optimism for a forthcoming powerful intervention from God.
In the latter part of her sermon, Pastor Harrison focused on the indispensable role of the church community in the spiritual journey. She stressed that active participation in a church community is non-negotiable for those fully committed to Jesus. She asserted that believers need each other to authentically live out the gospel, drawing upon the example of the early church in Acts chapter 2. They were deeply devoted to the apostles' teachings, shared fellowship, broke bread together, and prayed collectively. Their communal way of life itself became a powerful testament to the gospel. Pastor Harrison concluded by encouraging the congregation to reflect on their own encounters with the church and to prioritize attendance.
Key Takeaways:
The same Spirit that raised Jesus from the dead resides in us, and through faith, God can perform miraculous things in and through us.
We need to fully devote ourselves to Jesus to experience the power of His Kingdom.
Being part of a church community is not optional for those who are all in with Jesus. We need each other to live out the gospel.
The early church in Acts chapter 2 serves as an example of how believers should live, being devoted to the apostles' teaching, fellowship, breaking of bread, and prayer.
We should make attending church a priority, reflecting on our own experiences with the church and committing ourselves to being part of the church community.
