Sermons on Faith
Don’t Drift!
Welcome to Chapel City Church! Last week we wrapped up chapter 1 that introduced us to Jesus Christ as being better. Better than what? Better than anything! He is the better word, the one who created and sustains the universe, the one who is by very nature God, and the one who completed the work of redemption for his people. Most of chapter 1 was spent proving that Jesus…
Wisdom & Wealth
Welcome to Chapel City Church! As we say goodbye to summer, we are also closing our time in the Book of Proverbs. When we opened up the book back in May, we started by laying the foundation for wisdom as a whole. The beginning of wisdom is the fear of the Lord. A right understanding of God is necessary for a right response to God. And that practical response has been what…
Faith & Fear
Welcome to Chapel City Church! We are so thankful that our YUGO team has made it back safely from Ensenada. Thank you for all of your prayers and support. We look forward to sharing some of what God did on the trip with you! This week we will look at what the Book of Proverbs has to say about fear. It’s something that we all struggle with at one point or another,…
The Source of Wisdom
Last week we introduced our summer study in Proverbs- The Way of Wisdom. And while we know that wisdom is a good thing to have, we might struggle with where to find it. We live in a time and place where we have more access to information than at any point in history. Our cell phones are a gateway to more articles, posts, videos, and podcasts than we could consume in a…
The Hope of Restoration
Welcome to Chapel City Church! This week we come to the end of our time in the Book of James. It’s been a wonderful journey, but a painful one at times. Chapter by chapter, James reminds us of what a genuine, living faith looks like. And he does that because he loves his audience. His doesn’t want them to be deceived into thinking that they are children of God…
The Source of our Strength
Welcome to Chapel City Church! We are coming close to the end of our time in the Book of James. At this point in his letter, James gives some final instruction that centers around prayer. As Christians, we understand that prayer ought to be a priority in our lives. Jesus taught us how to pray, Paul taught us to pray without ceasing, and Revelation concludes with the…
What Kind of Wisdom?
Welcome to Chapel City Church! Last week we looked at the untamable tongue, and the reality that our speech will be a reflection of our heart. This week, James will work through two types of wisdom. And while those two things might seem like separate topics, they are intimately related. How do we respond when things don’t go our way? How do we think about situations…
A Faith that Works
Welcome to Chapel City Church! As we continue working through James chapter 2, we are going to come to one of the most difficult passages in the whole letter. It isn’t grammar or content that make this passage difficult. Rather, it’s how James appears to say something different about faith and works than the other New Testament writers. Does James really say…
James: Faith in Action
Welcome to Chapel City Church! As we turn the calendar over to a new year, we also turn the pages of our bible to the study of a new book. For the next few months, we will work our way through the Book of James. This wonderful, practical book shows us what real faith looks like. It’s more than understanding a collection of theological facts. It’s more than…

Can I Really Trust Jesus?
Welcome to Chapel City Church! This week we will be doing something a bit different than our normal service format. Several of us had the opportunity to travel to Ensenada, Mexico to partner with YUGO Ministries. We came alongside a local pastor and built a home for a family in his church. This morning we will share with you what we shared with that precious local body of…
For Freedom’s Sake

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…
