Sermons on Matthew (Page 9)
Temporal VS. Eternal
Once again we have been reminded of how quickly things can change, and once again we are presented with the opportunity to trust God is and will continue to do what is best. Change is always difficult, but it has a helpful way of exposing where our real priorities are. Am I seeking obedience, am I living in faith and faithfulness, or am I living for self? As we move…
Real Righteousness: Part 3 FASTING
Over the course of the last month, we have opened up Matthew 6 and heard Jesus teach about what real righteousness looks like. There is a way to do the right things in the wrong way. A way to appear righteous, but have your heart be mired in disobedience. And so Jesus addresses three specific actions: giving, praying, and fasting. He warns his disciples not to do these…
The Disciple’s Prayer
Thank you for joining us for worship here at Chapel City Church! Whether you are able to be with us in person or at home, whether you are a member or a guest, we are glad that you are with us this week.

Real Righteousness: Prayer
Good morning and welcome to Chapel City Church! We are thrilled to be able to begin thinking through what it looks like for us to be able to gather again in person on Sunday mornings. We recognize that it will be a long road to get back to “normal,” but we know that the Lord directs and oversees every step of the process. We hope that whether you worship with us in…
Real Righteousness, part 1
Thank you for worshipping with us here at Chapel City Church! We miss seeing you in person, but we know that God has designed this time for His glory and for our good.

As we come to our time together in…
Living as Lights, part 4
Welcome to Chapel City Church! Although we can’t gather together in person at this time, we know that God is still working in the lives of His people. The church has never been a place that we gather, but has always been the body of believers that Christ has called to Himself. That means that although the doors of the building are closed, the mission and ministry of…
Living as Lights, Part 3

We are glad that you are worshipping with us and doing what you can to stay connected to the body of Christ during this time. If there is a way that we can help you to stay connected, please reach out and let us know! We are working through the Sermon on the Mount, and we have come to a number of statements where Jesus interacts with the Law. He takes what the people have…
Living as Lights
We are so glad that you are worshipping with us during these difficult times. Although we weren’t able to celebrate Easter in a way that seemed “normal,” our prayer is that you were encouraged to worship in light of what God has done to redeem us, and to anticipate not only our time of coming together again, but even more so to long for HIS coming! This week,…
The Disciple’s Directive
We know that the format has changed, but we also know that the power of God, the authority of His word, and the blessing of being a part of the body of Christ remains unchanged! This week we will work through the familiar words of Matthew 5 that call disciples of Christ to be salt and light. In a world that is perishing in darkness, kingdom citizens are to be altogether…
The Beatitudes: Blessed Are…Part 3
We are glad that you are worshipping with us, perhaps in a very different format than we are used to. This week will be the final sermon that deals with the beatitudes at the beginning of Matthew 5. As he opens up the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus gives certain attitudes and actions that are pronounced “blessed” by God. While they might not fit into our…
