Sermons on Humility
The Greatest Gift
Welcome to Chapel City Church! As we prepare to celebrate the wonder of Christmas, we want to turn our eyes toward the greatest gift ever given. Although we rejoice in the birth of Christ all year long, there is a special significance to this time of year. We remember the journey to Bethlehem, the manger, and the shepherds. We remember angels singing and a young mother…
Responding to Righteousness
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 for you. This week will bring us to the conclusion of Habakkuk. It’s a wonderful little book that we don’t know as well as we should. In Chapter 1, Habakkuk posed some serious questions to the Lord that he…
God of the Nations
Welcome to our time of worship together here at Chapel City Church. We are so glad that you are here, and we would love the opportunity to answer any questions that you might have, and to know how we can be praying for you! This morning we will open the book of Obadiah together. Although it’s the shortest book in the minor prophets (and the whole Old Testament), it…
The King Who Came &
is Coming Again
Thank you for joining us for our time of corporate worship here at Chapel City Church. As we prepare our hearts to celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ, we are reminded of the day that he entered into the city of Jerusalem. He came in humility, riding on the colt of a donkey. He came to…
Anticipating the Advent: Peace
Good morning, and welcome to our time of worship together here at Chapel City Church. As we light the second advent candle, we are reminded of the theme of peace. We live in a world of conflict. We see it between nations, we see it in the workplace, we see it in our homes, and we find it in our own hearts. The reality is that sin breaks peace. But the strife between…
Oppressed, Afflicted, & Silent
As we move through Matthew 26, we have come to the first of Jesus’ trials. From an earthly perspective, nothing seems to be right with this situation. It’s a trial in the wrong place at the wrong time, and carried out in the wrong way. Rather than truth, we see injustice after injustice. But Christ remains in control. He is not bullied or intimidated. He is not afraid…
Into the Hands of Sinner
Welcome to our time of worship here at Chapel City Church. We are glad that you have joined us. This week, we say goodbye to our middle and high school students as they leave for summer camp. This is a great reminder to be in prayer for them. Pray that the time away would allow them to focus on their relationship with the Lord. Pray that those who do not know Christ…
The Cup of the King
Thank you for joining us for our time of worship here at Chapel City Church! We are glad that you are here, and we would love the opportunity to get to know you and to answer any questions that you might have. Today we will come to the Garden of Gethsemane in Matthew 26. It’s here in the quiet setting of a familiar garden that a battle for the souls of men will take…
Condemning Counterfeit Worship
Welcome to our time of worship here at Chapel City Church. As you join with us today, we would invite you to consider what worship looks like. What does it mean to worship? Is it a specific action or attitude? How do we know when we have really worshipped and not just done something that looks like worship? As we move through Matthew 23, we are going to come across the…
The Final Question
Who do you say that Jesus is? That’s been a critical question throughout Matthew’s gospel. How you answer that question has eternal implications. As we come to the end of Matthew 22 and the beginning of Matthew 23, the identity of Jesus is on display once again. He asks the religious leaders about the Christ, whom they rightly identify as the son of…
Anticipating the King
Welcome to Chapel City Church! We are so glad that you have joined us for our time of worship today. Christmas is in the rearview mirror, and that brings out all kinds of responses. Some people are relieved that the hurry and the stress are behind them. Some will keep the Christmas carols going and the lights up for as long as possible. And some people wonder what they…
The King has Come
Merry Christmas, and welcome to Chapel City Church! This time of year is filled with reminders of what God has done. More than carols and comfort, more than family and tradition, we are reminded that the exalted Son of God took on flesh to redeem sinners. The greatest became the least, and in the most humble circumstances the Christ came into his creation. But…
