Heaven is More Than a Wonderful Place
Welcome to our time of worship here at Chapel City Church, whether you are able to worship here in person or take the opportunity to watch at home. You are an important part of our body, even if you aren’t able to return yet to worship with us physically. We are in the middle of a series about the Gospel of Matthew. The theme of that gospel is the Kingdom of God. We are…
The Essentials: Discipleship
We are in the middle of a series of messages that work through the Mission, Core Values, and Strategies of our church. Sometimes, the things that we do as a church seem disconnected. Our core values are the things that should tie all of them together. This week, we will look at the third of our core values: discipleship. If we judge by their actions, many church members…
The Lord & His Anointed
In his introduction to the series on the psalms several weeks ago, Pastor Matt reminded us that the theme of all the psalms is Jesus Christ himself.

We don’t know all the…

The father has the same cares that…

(Click on “Save” above to download this week’s sermon.) Sometimes we feel so beat up that if we just manage to survive, that will be enough – but it isn’t. God wants us to thrive.

The Light Shines in the Darkness
(Click on “Save” above to download this week’s sermon and notes.) I read recently that some people thought it strange, even unhealthy that Jesus actually communicates with people today. Two things came to mind: one is “How sad is that?” to be so completely on your own that you have no resources beyond yourself to give you guidance, support,…
