Celebrating the Resurrection
Welcome to our time of celebration as we remember the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead! The empty tomb is more than a historical fact or theological talking point. The fact that Jesus Christ was raised to life is central to the message of the gospel and essential for our daily walk. The resurrection of Jesus means that we have a living hope, a secure eternity,…
The King’s Design for Marriage: Part 4
Thank you for joining us for our time of worship here at Chapel City Church. This week we will conclude our look at the King’s Design for Marriage from Matthew 19. The disciples have heard the challenge of the Pharisees and the answers that Jesus has given. Their understanding is that marriage is a critical relationship that’s not to be taken lightly, and that…
Family for the Glory of God: Part 5 – Divorce & Singleness
We are moving through the Book of Colossians, and we have come to the portion of chapter 3 that deals with families. Over the last 4 weeks we have looked at the ways in which we honor God as wives, husbands, children, and parents. We have seen that in all of these things our primary response is…
The Hope of the Resurrection
This is the time of year when we celebrate the focal point of all human history. That might sound like an overstatement, but I assure that it isn’t. The events of the death, burial, and resurrection of Christ stand as the most significant to ever occur. Mankind lives in slavery to sin and death, and we are powerless to free ourselves. This week, we celebrate the…
A Healthy Church

When the Bible Isn’t Your Friend
A hard church in the middle of a hard society is left in the hands of a young pastor. What is he to do? He needs real guidance just to survive! Paul, a wise mentor tells Timothy – and us – how we can not just use the Bible, but how we can use it well. At this important time in the life of Chapel City Church, we stop to remind ourselves of what’s…
Why Communion?
Sunday will be a time to remember the Lord through the communion and to look into the Word to remember why we remember. As we look into 1 Corinthians (linked above) it will be a great opportunity for unbounded worship and praise for the gift that Jesus gave to us. For I received from the Lord what I also delivered to you, that the Lord Jesus on the night when he was…
How the Resurrection Changed Me
We’ll proclaim “He is risen!” on Sunday morning as we worship on this high point of the year. We would be lost without the resurrection. On Friday we talk about how the crucifixion changed the disciples. On Sunday we’ll talk about how the resurrection changes us! Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.…
