The Model of a Better Ministry
Welcome to Chapel City Church! After a severe warning that covered most of chapter 5 and all of chapter 6, the author of Hebrews picks up where he left off. He was concerned that they weren’t equipped to deal with some of the weighty arguments that he needed to make to show them the greatness of Jesus as our high priest. But he trusts that they will press on toward…
What Man Was Meant to Be
Welcome to Chapel City Church! Last week we worked through the first warning passage in the Book of Hebrews. In a general and gentle way, the author reminds us not to drift from the truth that we have heard. The law was good. It accomplished a divine purpose. But you can’t go back to it because something better has come. This week, we pick up with the thought that…
Better than Angels, part 2
Welcome to Chapel City Church! This week we will continue working through Hebrews chapter 1. Our author is in the middle of making the case that Jesus Christ is better than any angel. Angels are powerful, but Christ alone is sovereign. Angels are wise, but only God is all-knowing, omniscient. Angels inspire fear and awe, but Jesus Christ is worthy of worship. As he closes…
Better than Angels, part 1
Fixing Our Eyes
Welcome to Chapel City Church! We live in a world that is increasingly polarized, angry, and anxious. As we look to find hope, peace, and prosperity in the world and its temporary things, we are increasingly frustrated and disappointed. So where do we find our hope? Where do we find our identity? As Christians, we know that the answer ought to be Jesus Christ. But how do…
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 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…
Security & Suffering
This week has been one of significant trial and testing in the lives of many associated with our church body. Dozens of people were or remain displaced from their homes. Additionally, we have a family that lost their home with very little warning. In the face of suffering, where do we turn? How do we think rightly about God’s power and goodness, yet wrestle with the…
The Perfect Picture
Thank you for joining us for our time of worship here at Chapel City Church. Last week we began to look at the Christian’s call in responding to authority. Peter is going to deal with political authority, private authority, authority in the home, and authority in the church over the course of the letter. He works through what submission looks like in those various…
For Freedom’s Sake
Welcome to Chapel City Church! We are so thankful that you have joined us for our time of worship together this morning. We would love to get to know you, to answer any questions that you have, and to know how we can be praying for you. Please feel free to reach out to the church office! For the first four chapters of Galatians, Paul has built up his theological case for…
The Good Shepherd: Revealed & Rejected
Welcome to our time of worship here at Chapel City Church. This Sunday we will continue working though the oracles that close the book of Zechariah. The first one is found in chapters 9,10, and 11. Last week in chapter 9 we saw the promise of two kings who would come. One came in judgment, the other came in perfection. This week, we will work through chapters 9 and 10…
