Sermons on Advent
This is Love
As we move into the final week of Advent, we light the candle symbolizing love. Our culture has trouble defining love. In fact, love might mean different things to different people at different times. But God has told us and shown us what love is. God Himself is the perfection of love. And he has demonstrated that love in sending his Son to be the sacrifice and substitute…
Joy to the World
Welcome to Chapel City Church! During this third week of Advent, we light the candle of joy. Just like hope and peace that we have looked at over the past couple of weeks, joy can be a hard thing to come by. Usually, we settle for happiness that’s based on circumstances that are going the way that we think they should. But we know that real joy means more than that.…
Peace on Earth
This is the second week of Advent, and today we light the candle of peace. We sing songs about peace on earth and goodwill toward men, but we know that real peace is hard to come by. Nations are in conflict, and always have been. There is significant division along so many lines, even within our own country. And, if that wasn’t enough, we are often a people with…
The Wondrous Mystery
This is the first week of advent, the time when we prepare our hearts to rejoice in the birth of Jesus Christ. Our lives are pressed and packed. Rest is hard to come by in any season, let alone around the holidays. That’s one reason that these times of worship together are so precious. They are places where we can pause and rejoice in what God has done. Truths that…
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.

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…
