Citizens Church Annapolis Sermons

Friendship is a great gift God has given us in this life.  

Pastor Carter helps us to see how this gift is meant to encourage in our walk when we submit it to Christ's lordship.

In a time when our parenting oscilates between anxiety, fear and idolatry, Jesus' vision for parenting offers peace, confidence and stewardship.

Our friend, Joey Tomassoni, continues our Lordship series. 

In the church, there's one crucial area we don't discuss much: singleness. 

But Jesus' vision for singleness places incredible importance on this season of life. If you want to make the most of your singleness then we must listen and obey Jesus' word on it. 

1 Corinthians 7:29+31

How's your marriage going? Jesus has a unique vision for marriage that will pour joy and meaning into it, if you're willing to bring it under his Lordship.

Ephesians 5:22-33

 

As we bring all aspects under Jesus' Lordship, we begin with our own purpose. What are you alive for? Why are you here? We must let Jesus define it.

What does it mean to say "Jesus is Lord?" It means we bring every facet of ourlives underneath his final say. Paul teaches the church in Corinth to remain in the world, but submit that world to Jesus' Lordship.

David's legacy is a mixture of good and regret. Thankfully, God's mercy finds a way to use both for his purposes. 

2 Samuel 22-24

David's final years are a repition of his earlier years. The pain of the past always resurfaces when we become passive and coast. Instead, we need to ratchet up the intensity of our spiritual lives, otherwise our future becomes our past.

Pastor Carter walks us through 2 Samuel 11-12 where we see David start as blind to his sin, recognize his sin, and finally delighting in God. 

David's mercy to Jonathan's son point us to the mercy we have received in Jesus.
