The Hope of the Resurrection
Welcome to our Easter Sunday celebration! Today, we remember the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead. Although He lived a life of perfect obedience, the Son of God suffered the cruelty of the cross. There, he bore God’s wrath poured out against sin as he died in our place. But Christ’s death was not the end of the story. Three days later, he was raised…
A Certain Judgement
Welcome to Chapel City Church! This week we will work through the next warning passage in the Book of Hebrews. These warnings started off relatively gently: Don’t drift! By this time, they have progressed to include some difficult language. The author’s argument isn’t confusing or difficult to follow, but the reality of what he says is severe. He has…
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…
The Law of Love
Welcome to Chapel City Church! This week we will open up the second chapter of James with an example of what love looks like. He closed chapter 1 by pointing out that pure and undefiled religion meant caring for the outcast and the other, as well as being unstained by the world. Chapter 2 works through personal favoritism, and how that response goes directly against what…
Walking in the Word
Welcome to Chapel City Church! This week we will finish the first chapter in our study of the Book of James. This last section will set the stage for the rest of what James writes to his scattered readers. The reality of your faith is demonstrated by its impact on your life. There is a faith that is deluded, a religion that is worthless. There is a way to look eternally…
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…
Strangers & Sojourners, part 3
Welcome to our time of worship here at Chapel City Church. We would love to answer any questions that you might have, and to know how we can be praying specifically for you. Please take a moment to fill out the connection card in your bulletin and drop it off with an usher or in the offering box. As we open up 1 Peter today, we will begin to work through chapter 2. As…
I’m a Christian… Now What?
Welcome to Chapel City Church! We are glad you have come to worship with us. Our youth group just returned from Summer Camp. We rejoice that some students have professed faith in the Lord Jesus for the first time, and a number more have committed to more diligently follow him! After coming to Jesus some natural questions are, “What does it mean to follow Jesus? I…
Gospel Origins
Thank you for joining us here at Chapel City Church. We would love the opportunity to answer any questions that you might have, or to know how we can be praying specifically for you. Please feel free to reach out to us through email, or a phone call to the church office. Today we will continue through the first chapter in the Book of Galatians. Last week, we saw the…
Gospel Singularity
Welcome to Chapel City Church! We are thankful that you have joined us for our time of corporate worship today. We are moving into our study of the Book of Galatians, and Paul wastes no time getting to his point. After his very brief introduction, he expresses his shock at their abandonment of the gospel message. They have apparently been pulled away by teaching that…
Finally Free
The King’s Commission
Good morning and welcome to our time of worship here at Chapel City Church. Whether this is your first time or your church home, we hope that you are encouraged in your faith and challenged to live in obedience to Christ! Today we will come to the end of Matthew’s gospel. For over two years, we have been exposed to the truth of who Jesus Christ is. He is the…
