Good Friday: He Bore Our Sins…
Welcome to our Good Friday service here at Chapel City Church. We are so glad that you have joined us for this special evening of remembrance, reflection, and repentance. Most of us can picture the familiar scenes of Good Friday. We can picture Jesus praying in the Garden of Gethsemane. We can visualize him before Pilate. We have seen the images of the Son of God hanging…
2021 Good Friday
Thank you for joining us for this very special service. You might notice something of a more somber tone in our slides and even in the passages that we read today. This isn’t because we are depressed or without joy. Rather, it’s a reflection of how very important it is that we understand what makes Good Friday so “good” to begin with. This is the…
Prepare Him Room: Joy
As we continue to “Prepare Him Room” during this advent season, this week we look at the joy that comes in the promise of a savior. As we have done the last couple of weeks, we will take a promise made in the Old Testament and understand how it relates to the Christmas season. When Isaiah speaks of hope, peace, and joy, he does so in a specific context. It’s…
Prepare Him Room: Peace

We live in a time where peace is a hard thing to come…
Prepare Him Room: HOPE

We know the story, we know the songs, and we even know that the crazy isn’t what it’s all about. But we still struggle to really prepare our hearts for the celebration that Christmas ought to be. Perhaps that’s where you find yourself…
The Song of Isaiah – A Song of Hope
Pain, discouragement, disappointment and fear are constant companions for a lot of people. Sometimes it’s hard to even get through the day. 700 years before Jesus was born, Isaiah, living in hard times had an amazing answer: “There will be no more gloom for those in distress.” We’ll look at his incredible song in Isaiah 9:1-7 and find what inspired…
The Path to Freedom
This weekend our thoughts turn to our country’s most fundamental statement of freedom 240 years ago. Freedom is one of our greatest values but is too often misunderstood. We listen to the truth of Jesus when he said, “If the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.” Sunday we look at that reality to see what it means, how we are still enslaved, and…
