No Neutral Ground

Once again Jesus heals someone, and once again faces opposition from the Pharisees. How does He answer His accusers, who claim He only heals by the power of Satan? Join Pastor Matt as he leads us through this passage and we hear what Jesus has to say about belief and unbelief; about forgiveness and the unforgivable sin; and who He calls His family.

Our Sunday morning worship services are comprised of verse-by-verse Bible teaching, Christ-centered worship and a time of congregational prayer. Gather with us in-person at 9 or 11 am or online at 10 am on Sunday morning, or watch anytime, at thevillagechapel.com.

Call to Worship: How Majestic is Your Name

O Lord, our LORD, how majestic is Your name in all the earth!
Just this morning, the sun declares the beauty and persistence of Your unrivaled power.
Come now, Lord; set all our hearts and voices free to worship You.

It’s been You, Lord, who has protected us while we slept:
who has provided for our every need,
who has given us strength for every battle,
who has made a way through every wilderness.

May our souls find peace in Your presence.
May our sorrows fall at the feet of Your joy.
Help us rest in Your sovereignty and faithfulness;
Help us to honor Your name, walk in Your ways,
and praise You with all our being.
Hallelujah, amen!


Creed: Repentance and Faith
(Source: ACNA: Salvation, Questions 11, 12 & 15)

LEADER: What does it mean to repent?
PEOPLE: To repent means that I have a change of heart, turning from sin - fully serving myself - to serving God as I follow Jesus Christ. I need God’s help to make this change.

LEADER: What does it mean to have faith?
PEOPLE: To have faith means that I believe the Gospel is the truth: that Jesus died for my sins, rose from the dead, and rules over my life. Therefore, I entrust myself to Him as my Savior, and I obey Him as my Lord.

LEADER: What does God grant in your new life in Christ?
PEOPLE: God grants me reconciliation with Him, forgiveness of my sins, union with Him in Christ, adoption into His family, citizenship in His kingdom, new life in the Holy Spirit, and the promise of eternal life.
