Sermons on Hope
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…
Humility, Holiness, & Hope
This week we will finish our journey through the book of First Peter. We are temporary residents, strangers and sojourners, in a world that is not our home. We long for the coming of Christ and entering into our eternal inheritance. And Peter finishes this letter to the scattered churches with some closing thoughts. He will remind them of the call to humility. He will…
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…
Homecoming
This week we will open 1 Peter chapter 4 and be reminded of what we look forward to. Living as strangers and sojourners in a world that is not our home can seem daunting. When we suffer for living in obedience to Christ, we might be tempted to give up or move toward despair. But Peter reminds his audience of a certain future that lies ahead of them. Sin will not always…
Safe with the Savior
Welcome to Chapel City Church! We are glad that you’ve joined us for our time of worship. Today we are going to finish 1 Peter chapter 3 by looking at where we find our sense of security. Peter has spent the last large section of his letter calling on believers to respond rightly to authority in their lives. For the Lord’s sake, we are called to submit to…
Strangers & Sojourners, part 2
Good morning and welcome to Chapel City Church! We hope that as you worship with us today you will be strengthened in your faith and blessed by the believers that you gather together with. If you have a question about the church, about the sermon, or about a particular ministry, we would love to hear from you. If there’s a way that we can be praying for your…
Strangers & Sojourners
Welcome to Chapel City Church! We are so glad that you have joined us for our time of worship together. As we move into a new season of school and ministry, we are also moving into a new season of study in God’s word. We live in a divided country. This is, perhaps, never more evident than during an election year. As citizens of a nation, the temptation is to find…
The Fruit of the Flesh, part 2
Welcome to Chapel City Church. We are glad that you have joined us for worship today. As we continue to work our way through Galatians 5, we are going to encounter the next group of “Fruits of the Flesh.” This week we will look at those things that the flesh produces that are failures to love others well. These include sins like anger that are typically against an…
Jesus Christ, Our Living Hope
Welcome to Chapel City Church! Today we celebrate the high point of our year, the cornerstone of our Christian faith. Today, we celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ! Our songs are joyful, and rightly so. Our hearts are lifted to hope and thanksgiving, and rightly so! And today, we want to take time to reflect on this Jesus that we worship. When he came to the earth…
Living in Light of the Day
to worship with us today. If there are questions that you have, or things that we can be praying for, we would love to talk with you! “Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved.” The amazing thing about the gospel, indeed a stumbling block for many, is the truth that Jesus saves us, not because of works done by us in righteousness, but…
From Guilt to Glory: Following the Leader
Thank you for joining us for our time of worship here at Chapel City Church. We hope that as we sing, study, and fellowship together that you are encouraged in your walk with Christ. We would love to answer any questions that you might have, and to know how we can be praying for you. As we continue through the book of Micah, we are faced with two radically different…
Celebrating the Resurrection
Welcome to our time of celebration as we remember the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead! The empty tomb is more than a historical fact or theological talking point. The fact that Jesus Christ was raised to life is central to the message of the gospel and essential for our daily walk. The resurrection of Jesus means that we have a living hope, a secure eternity,…
