The King & His Kingdom (Page 8)
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…
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. Last week we opened up the first three petitions from the Lord’s Prayer. All three were expressions of longing for the glory of God to be displayed and marveled at.…

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…
