Description
Welcome to The Village Chapel Sunday Sermons podcast. We’re so glad you’re here!
At The Village Chapel, we believe real spiritual growth begins with a steady return to God’s Word. In a world that often leaves us weary or distracted, we gather each week to study Scripture verse by verse—listening carefully, thinking deeply, and letting truth take root in our hearts. Through worship, the teaching of God’s Word, and life together in community, we’re learning to love what God loves and to be transformed by His grace.
Subscribe today so you never miss a new sermon, and join us as we seek to know God’s Word and grow in His love together.

More Than He Asked For: The Miracle and Message of Acts 3 Acts 3 Teacher: Pastor Jim Thomas Date: March 8, 2026 What might change in our lives if we truly believed that Jesus is able to do far more than we ever ask or imagine? I’m not just talking about God as a Divine Sugar Daddy but what if God is actually so gracious and so generous that even the struggles and limitations in our lives have the potential to become the very places where the glory of Christ can be most luminously revealed? F...
Vital Signs of a Spirit-Filled Church Acts 2:42-47 Teacher: Pastor Tommy Bailey Date: March 1, 2026 In Acts 2:42-47, Luke pauses the whirlwind narrative of the early church to pull back the curtain on the ordinary, day-to-day life of a community transformed by the Spirit of God. What he reveals are the vital signs of a church that had come alive. A people hungry for God's Word, bound together in deep fellowship, radiating with worship of God, and devoted to prayer. Right in the middle of a c...
Filled with the Spirit, Pointing to Jesus Acts 2:14-41 Teacher: Pastor Matt Pierson Date: February 22, 2026 In Acts 2, we witness the powerful outpouring of the Holy Spirit as Jesus fills His followers gathered in Jerusalem. Then Peter—once the fearful disciple who denied Jesus—stands up, filled with the Spirit, and boldly proclaims the gospel. What transformed Peter from frightened fisherman to fearless apostle? The same Holy Spirit who breathed new life into him now lives in us. As C...
The Holy Spirit: God With Us, In Us, and Through Us Acts 2:1-13 Teacher: Pastor Jim Thomas Date: February 15, 2026 Acts 2 is noisy, visual, disruptive, astonishing and historically pivotal. What does the Bible mean by phrases like: the outpouring of the Spirit, the baptism of the Spirit, being filled with the Spirit, the gifts of the Spirit, and the fruit of the Spirit? And why was the coming of the Spirit so decisive in the rapid, unstoppable spread of the gospel in the first century? In A...
The Lord Reigns Acts 1:9-26 Teacher: Pastor Tommy Bailey Date: February 8, 2026 The Ascension is perhaps among the least considered aspects of the work of Jesus, yet it is a decisive turning point in the history of God’s redemptive work. In Acts 1:9–26, Jesus is exalted above all rule and authority as the Lord of all. His Ascension is not his absence, but the moment that sets the table for the outpouring of his Spirit upon all who call on His name. Join Pastor Tommy as we consider why the ...
The Communion of Saints Isaiah 43:1-3a Teacher: Pastor Matt Pierson Date: February 1, 2026 What do you do when you are in a very difficult situation? What does an entire community do when they are faced with a difficult situation? Where is God when we encounter hardships? Are we left on our own, or do we encounter God’s presence even when we feel like we are in the valley of the shadow of death? Join Pastor Matt as we study through the first few verses of Isaiah 43, and we are reminded of th...
On Your Marks, Get Set, Wait! Acts 1:1-8 Pastor Jim Thomas January 18, 2026 Before the church moved forward, Jesus told them to stop. Before the mission began, He commanded them to wait. The book of Acts opens not with strategy, speed, or self-confidence—but with a risen Lord who insists that His people do nothing until they are clothed with power from on high. Join Pastor Jim for an introduction to the book of the Acts of the Apostles and the opening eight verses as he explores why waitin...
Anchored in God’s Word Psalm Psalm 119:145-176 The Village Chapel - 01/11/2026 Psalm 119 ends the way an authentic Christian life is often lived, not neat and tidy, but with honesty and hope. Cries for help mingle with praise, confidence gives way to confession, and with humility the psalmist recognizes his need for grace while clinging to the sturdy truth of God’s promises. Join Pastor Tommy as we see how God’s Word anchors us to reality by revealing who God is, who we are in Christ, and wh...
Where do you turn when you feel the pressure of a "double-minded" world, or when your own heart feels weary? As we begin a new year, we often look for ways to improve our lives through resolutions, but the psalmist in Psalm 119:113-144 points us toward a more certain, life-giving trajectory: a resolute devotion to the Word of God. Join us as we continue our verse-by-verse journey through Psalm 119. In this teaching, Pastor Tom Yarbrough explores how to cultivate a hearty spiritual appetite fo...
The Certain Word in an Uncertain World Psalm 119: 81-112 The Village Chapel - 12/28/2025 Where do you turn when your world is in chaos, you can’t find your footing, everything seems uncertain, and finding a way forward is unclear? Psalm 119:81–112 invites us to a more certain, steadier, proper confidence—not confidence in ourselves, but confidence in the God who speaks and in His Word to us. Through our longings and afflictions, as we seek comfort, wisdom and guidance, this ancient song reve...
The Questions of Christmas Luke 2:1-20 The Village Chapel - 12/24/2025 From Mary to the magi, from shepherds to kings, the first witnesses to Christmas were caught between wonder and resistance, worship and fear. And in the middle of their questions stood an answer none of them could have imagined: God came near. This Christmas Eve, we’ll rediscover how the Incarnation restores wonder to a weary world, redirects our worship to the God who stepped into our story, and compels us to bear ...
The Unconditional Love of God in Christ John 3:16-17 The Village Chapel - 12/21/2025 Beyond the familiar traditions and celebrations of Christmas lies something far deeper—a truth that sees and meets our deepest yearnings and longings, heals our brokenness, and speaks grace into our sin. Join us as Pastor Matt walks us through three passages of Scripture that reveal the heart of Christmas: the unconditional love of God made known to us in Jesus Christ, and hear how it is the driving force be...
Unshakable Joy Psalm 98 The Village Chapel - 12/14/2025 What if joy could outlast every trial, hope could shine through every shadow, and peace could settle deep in our souls no matter how much chaos is around us? What if the songs we sing and the promises of God we study in our Bibles could actively shape our hearts and minds? Psalm 98 invites us to consider these possibilities based upon the promises of God, and then to discover this kind of joy in the LORD himself. I’m not talking a...
The Dawn of Redeeming Grace Brings Peace Luke 2:8-14 & Philippians 4:6-9 The Village Chapel - 12/07/2025 During the Advent season, we sing and talk a lot about peace. But instead of being peace-full, why are so many people falling to pieces? What does the Bible teach us about how to handle unrest, worry, fear, and anxiety? Join Pastor Jim as he connects the dots between the first appearing of God’s “Prince of Peace” into the world, and how life in Christ can bring lasting peace to our he...
The Dawn of Redeeming Grace Brings Hope Isaiah 8:16-9:7 Sermon Notes & Quotes The Village Chapel - 11/30/2025 In a world marked by deep darkness and spiritual hunger, the Advent season speaks with unusual honesty. The prophet Isaiah describes a people stumbling through distress and gloom, grasping for answers anywhere but God. Yet into that darkness comes a light not awakened from within us but shining upon us. An illuminating and intrusive grace that reveals our need and draws us back to...
Remembering God’s Word Psalm 119:49-80 The Village Chapel - 11/23/2025 Have you ever found yourself unable to sleep, replaying the questions you can’t quite silence? Where is God when the world feels so broken? Why does my heart ache the way it does? And is there a word from Him that can steady me when life shakes me to my core? Psalm 119:49–80 gives language to the longings we all feel—the yearning for hope when we are weary, for comfort when we’re hurting, and for clarity when the world ar...
Growing in God's Word Psalm 119:25-48 The Village Chapel - 11/16/2025 Have you ever felt the weight of the world pressing down, leaving you clinging to the very dust? When sorrow runs deep and our strength fades, where do we turn? Psalm 119 speaks directly to those moments of weariness, reminding us that the Word of God—and the God of the Word—meets us right there. He lifts us up, breathes new life into weary hearts, and gently teaches us His ways. In His Word, God reveals himself as the Go...
Delighting in the Word of God Psalm 119:1-24 The Village Chapel - 11/09/2025 Have you ever hungered for a word that steadies your soul, a word that lights your path when the way grows dark, or a word that stirs hope and awakens joy when your heart feels heavy? Psalm 119 invites us to such a word—not just to read it and study it, but to delight in it—to savor each phrase, each promise, each truth. And even more than that, to delight in the God who speaks it: the God whose heart is revealed i...
Peace To You Luke 24:36-53 The Village Chapel - 11/02/2025 On the evening of the resurrection, the disciples huddled together unsure what to make of the rumors and eyewitness accounts that Jesus was alive. Then suddenly, He stood among them. The same hands that had been pierced were now in front of them. The same voice that cried out on the cross now spoke peace into their despair. In that moment, the disciples were changed. The crucified one was not only alive—He was bodily present, eating ...
Rekindled Hearts Luke 24:13-35 The Village Chapel - 10/26/2025 Two disciples walk the seven miles from Jerusalem to Emmaus, trying to make sense of the unthinkable. Their hope had been nailed to a cross and buried in a tomb. Disappointment hung heavy in the air as the promise of the resurrected Jesus was nowhere to be seen—until a stranger joined them on the road. Step by step, He listened, questioned, and opened the Scriptures until their cold hearts began to glow with the hope of the resur...
