Sermons on Matthew (Page 8)
Following, Fear, and Faith
We are glad that you have joined us for worship this week. As we continue to work through Matthew 8 and 9, we remain focused on the idea of Christ’s authority. He has shown his authority over disease as he heals a leper, a centurion’s servant, and Peter’s mother in law. He has demonstrated that discipleship is a costly thing, and that those who…
The Demands of Discipleship
Welcome to October Chapel City Church! What a year this has been for all of us. As you move into a new month, please let us know how we can be praying for you or ministering to you. We understand that with constant uncertainty can come additional burdens, be they financial, emotional, or spiritual. We would love the opportunity to pray with you and for you, and to…
The King’s Power
For the last several months we have been working through the Sermon on the Mount from Matthew 5-7. It was a prime example of the authority of Jesus Christ demonstrated in His teaching about the coming kingdom. As we move into chapters 8 and 9, we are going to look at the authority of Christ as it relates to creation itself. We will see his authority over the physical…

Two Paths, One Way: Part 3 – Two Claims
Welcome to Chapel City Church! We are so thankful that you are worshipping with us today. We continue to work our way through the conclusion of the Sermon on the Mount. Jesus has issued a call for action in response to the Kingdom truth that has been presented- Enter through the narrow gate! As he brings his teaching to a close, he presents four closing contrasts. There…
Two Roads, One Way: Part 2 – Two Trees
We are moving into the concluding portion of the Sermon on the Mount, and we see Jesus call for a response from those who hear Him. It is not enough to hear the proclamation of the kingdom; it is not enough to sit back and appreciate the sentiment or admire the speaker. The presentation of the kingdom of God demands a response. Last week, we saw that those who would be…
Two Roads, One Way: Part 1
Welcome to Chapel City Church! We are so glad that you are worshipping with us today whether in person or online. For the last several months we have been working our way through the Sermon on the Mount. It’s a passage of scripture with portions that are familiar to believers and unbelievers alike. In fact, many who are not disciples of Christ still appreciate and…
The Sermon in a Sentence
Thank you for worshipping with us here at Chapel City Church! At this point in the year, we are usually looking forward to the start of school, the return of sports, and various ministries kicking off. This year, our lives and calendars will look very different. We know that this is an adventure for some and a significant struggle for others. No matter where you fall on…
Our Faithful Father
Thank you for joining us here at Chapel City Church! We are so glad that you are with us today. Throughout the Sermon on the Mount, we have been consistently reminded of two things: The first is the unfailing nature and character of God, and the second is the high calling placed on the life of the kingdom citizen and disciple of Christ. Last week we worked through a…
Judgement: Planks & Pigs
We have been working through the Sermon on the Mount, and this week we will open up Matthew chapter 7. The opening verses of this chapter contain some of the most often quoted words in the New Testament. “Judge not, that you not be judged” has made its way into movies, song lyrics, and family arguments over the dinner table. But what does Jesus mean when he calls…
The Disciple & Anxiety, part 2
We are excited to have the opportunity to begin to meet together once again in some capacity! We recognize that attending in person is still not possible for many, and we want you to know that we are praying for you and that our desire is to continue to minister to you during this time. The last 4 months have provided a host of unknowns. Regulations change, plans change,…
The Disciple & Anxiety, part 1
Thank you for joining us for our time of worship here at Chapel City Church. As we study the Word of God, we are constantly reminded that His ways are not our ways. And because His word is true, authoritative, and unchanging, it is able to provide wisdom and comfort even during the most trying times. As we approach the end of Matthew 6, we are given the teaching of Jesus…
