Sermons on Humility
Mary’s Christmas Carol
Merry Christmas! It’s our joy to welcome you to Chapel City Church as we celebrate the advent of our savior, Jesus Christ. This season is marked with special celebrations. We have specific events that we attend, people that we gather with, and decorations that we put up. We also have songs that help us think about the significance of what happened so long ago. Every…
What Man Was Meant to Be
Welcome to Chapel City Church! Last week we worked through the first warning passage in the Book of Hebrews. In a general and gentle way, the author reminds us not to drift from the truth that we have heard. The law was good. It accomplished a divine purpose. But you can’t go back to it because something better has come. This week, we pick up with the thought that…
Giving and Receiving Wisdom, part 2
Welcome to Chapel City Church! This summer we are working our way through the Book of Proverbs with the goal of living wisely. We have seen that the fear of the Lord is the foundation of wisdom. We have also seen that the source of wisdom is the word of God. But how do we begin to gain wisdom? Often, we learn through reading and meditating on God’s word. As we…
Temporary Treasures
This week we will open up James chapter 5 together. This chapter begins with a severe warning against those who would abuse their wealth. But before we assume that James has it out for rich people, or that it doesn’t apply to us because WE aren’t rich, let’s consider the context. We know that conflict is driven by selfish desires. We have seen how there…
Practical Humility
Welcome to Chapel City Church! Over the past two weeks we have looked at where conflict comes from. Although we would prefer to blame people or circumstances, James makes it clear that conflict is a result of selfish desires that take the place of worship and obedience. And because that’s the case, the solution is a repentant response that draws near to God in…
Where Conflict Comes From, part 2
Welcome to Chapel City Church! Last week we opened up James Chapter 4 and looked at where conflict comes from. As much as we would like to blame other people or blame our circumstances, it was clear that conflict ultimately comes from us. Our sinful motives, our selfish desires, wage war within us and lead us to war with others. So the question becomes, what do we really…
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…

Holiness & Humility at Home
Welcome to Chapel City Church! We are glad that you are here, and we would love to know how we can be praying for you. It’s our joy as a body to intercede before the Lord on each other’s behalf. As we come back to the Book of 1 Peter, we are going to open up chapter 3 and look at holiness and humility in the home. Peter has called on his audience to submit,…
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…
