The Son & the Shepherd

Welcome to Chapel City Church! We are less than a week from Christmas, and it’s hard to believe how fast the season has gone. Our prayer is that you have found encouragement, joy, and rest as we have thought about the constant faithfulness of God. He has kept His promises to His people, and we know that he will continue to. This week we come to the promise of a…

The Covenant & the King

Welcome to Chapel City Church! This week we light the third advent candle- The Candle of Joy. And it is indeed a joyful season. From the joy that we find in watching our kids’ choir to the joy that we feel as we celebrate with family and friends, this is a time that many of us cherish. But where does lasting joy come from? The season will come and go, the gifts will be…

The Son & the Substitute

Welcome to Chapel City Church! As we continue to move through the Advent season, we are focusing on the promises that God has made to his people. Last week we looked at the promise of the “head crusher” from Genesis 3, and we saw how God was faithful to fulfill that through the birth of Jesus Christ. We also look forward to his final victory when Satan is defeated…

The End in the Beginning

Welcome to Chapel City Church! We are so glad that you have joined us for our time of worship today. As we move into the Advent season, we are filled with a certain anticipation. We know that Christmas is coming, so we decorate our homes, we sing familiar songs, and we buy gifts for those that we love. But there is a greater anticipation that we as believers are called to…

The Greatest Gift

Welcome to Chapel City Church! As we prepare to celebrate the wonder of Christmas, we want to turn our eyes toward the greatest gift ever given. Although we rejoice in the birth of Christ all year long, there is a special significance to this time of year. We remember the journey to Bethlehem, the manger, and the shepherds. We remember angels singing and a young mother…

Anticipating the Advent: The Gift of Love

Thank you for joining us for our time of corporate worship here at Chapel City Church! As we draw closer to Christmas, the anticipation is building. Some are anticipating time with family and friends, some giving and receiving gifts, and some are waiting expectantly for a break from work or school. As Christians, we know that we are not only waiting to celebrate the first…

Matthew 1-10: A Retrospective

Welcome to our time of worship here at Chapel City Church! The first ten chapters of Matthew focus on the pronouncement of the awaited Theocratic Kingdom by establishing Jesus legitimacy as the anticipated Messiah. Matthew establishes the King’s pedigree (1-4), the King’s pedagogy (5-7) and the King’s power (8-10). We hope your hearts will be stirred as we look to Jesus…

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 are moving through our Advent series called “Prepare Him Room.” Last week we lit the candle of hope and remembered the hope that comes from the faithfulness of God. He promised a redeemer and king over His people, and that promise finds its fulfillment in Jesus Christ. This week, we light the candle of peace. We live in a time where peace is a hard thing to come…

Prepare Him Room: HOPE

Ready or not, Christmas is coming quickly. Sadly, most of the time we come into the season less ready than we should. 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…
