The Identity of the King
Welcome to Chapel City Church! We are glad that you have come to worship with us today. As we work through the Gospel of Matthew, one of the key questions has been, “who is Jesus?” Matthew told us from the very beginning that he was the Christ, the son of Abraham, and the Son of David. The angel announced to Joseph that he would be conceived of the Holy…
When Faith Fails
Thank you for joining us for our time of worship here at Chapel City Church. So far in Matthew 17 we have gone up and down the mountain with Jesus, Peter, James, and John. They have seen the glory of Christ revealed as Jesus was transfigured and the voice from heaven proclaimed that he was the Beloved Son. Last week we saw the disciples struggle to put together the…
The King’s Glory
Thank you for joining us here at Chapel City Church as we come together for worship. We have been working through Matthew’s gospel which presents Jesus as the promised messiah and coming king. However, Jesus has now begun to tell his disciples about the necessity of his suffering, death, and resurrection. As we came to the end of Chapter 16, Jesus made a…
The King’s Suffering
Last week we came to the high point of Matthew’s gospel as Peter declared that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of the Living God. In one of the most dramatic and sudden shifts in the whole New Testament, this week we will find out what it will mean for the Christ to accomplish his work. This is not the messiah that these men were expecting. This is the King, but this…
Confessing the King
We are glad that you are here to worship with us this morning. So, let’s begin with a question: Do you know who you are worshipping? It might sound basic, or even unnecessary, but it’s the most important question that we can ask. It does no good in the scope of eternity to worship, even with great sincerity and enthusiasm, if the object of our worship is…
Hope of the Nations
Over the course of the last two weeks, we have been confronted with the fact that sin is a matter of the heart. We are unclean not because we touch or eat unclean things, but because our hearts are fallen and sinful. That means that the solution isn’t an external fix or following a list of rules. The only answer is the radical heart transformation that the gospel…
Scorning the Son
Welcome to our time of worship here at Chapel City Church. We hope that you are encouraged to grow in your faith as we press on toward maturity in Christ together! This week we will look at a passage that many of us are familiar with. The power of Jesus is undeniable, but where does that power come from? The crowds wonder whether he is the Son of David. The Pharisees…
The King: Rejected & Received
As we come to the end of Matthew 11, we are going to be faced with a growing divide in Matthew’s Gospel. The proof of who Jesus Christ is has been given time and time again. His birth makes it clear, his genealogy makes it clear, his teaching makes it clear, and his miracles make it clear. We spent time looking at how John the Baptist was the promised forerunner of…
The King’s Power
For the last several months we have been working through the Sermon on the Mount from Matthew 5-7. It was a prime example of the authority of Jesus Christ demonstrated in His teaching about the coming kingdom. As we move into chapters 8 and 9, we are going to look at the authority of Christ as it relates to creation itself. We will see his authority over the physical…
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…
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…
