From Guilt to Glory: Christmas in July
Welcome to Chapel City Church! We are so glad that you’ve joined us for our time of worship this morning. We are working our way through the Minor Prophets; a series of short books with major truths that we need to understand. As we come to Micah 5, we are in one of the few well-known passages from this understudied book. We have seen that Jerusalem will come…
Kingdom Greatness
Good morning and welcome to Chapel City Church! We live in a world that pursues greatness at any cost. Whether it’s the desire to be great in business, great in politics, or great in sports, the draw is always there. As we move into Matthew 18, the disciples ask Jesus what it will mean to be great in the coming kingdom. His answer is not what they were expecting!…
Down the Mountain
Welcome to our time of worship together here at Chapel City Church! Last week we witnessed one of the most dramatic scenes in Matthew’s gospel account as Jesus was transfigured before three of his disciples. They saw the King of Kings in his glory and splendor; a foretaste of what the coming kingdom will look like. But does that experience clear up all of their…
Kingdom Crumbs?
Welcome to Chapel City Church! We are so glad that you have come to worship our great God with us today. As we continue through the gospel of Matthew, we have seen Jesus come with the power of his kingdom. Although he has come to seek and save the lost, although he comes teaching and healing, there is a growing divide concerning him. As he promised, those who are his…
Parable Postcards: Mysteries of the Kingdom Revealed
We are glad that you have come to worship with us today. As we go through Matthew 13, we are learning from Christ as he teaches the Kingdom Parables. The first two that we worked through were longer, and each one came with an explanation given to the disciples about what it meant. This week, we…
The Kingdom is Like… Part 3: Wheat & Weeds
This week we will be working through the second of the kingdom parables of Matthew 13. Jesus will use a picture of wheat and weeds to show his disciples how both the wicked and the righteous “grow up” together for now. However, there is a time coming when the righteous judge will…
The Kingdom is Like… part 1: The Purpose of the Parables
. This week we will move into Matthew 13. In the same context as the opposition of the religious leaders and the warnings to the crowds, we are introduced to the next major teaching portion of the gospel. This time, Jesus will address the crowd with a series of parables about the Kingdom of God.…
Heaven is More Than a Wonderful Place
Welcome to our time of worship here at Chapel City Church, whether you are able to worship here in person or take the opportunity to watch at home. You are an important part of our body, even if you aren’t able to return yet to worship with us physically. We are in the middle of a series about the Gospel of Matthew. The theme of that gospel is the Kingdom of God. We are…
Called to Worship
This week we will have the privilege of hearing from one of our elders: Walter Lopatka. We have been looking at the Lord’s Prayer, but this week our attention will move to the book of Hebrews. We were created for the purpose of worship and fellowship with God. But why does that call matter and what motivates us to carry out that great purpose? What did the people of…
The Disciple’s Prayer
Welcome back to Chapel City Church! Whether you are able to join us in person or online, we are glad that you have come to worship with us today. We rejoice with those of you that we have seen, and we eagerly anticipate welcoming many more of you in the coming weeks. If you would like to join us in person, please let us know by sending an email to info@chapelcity.church.…
Securely Snatched
We are so glad that you will be worshipping with us this week. While we don’t know what the timetable looks like, we do know that we are one week closer to meeting in person once again. We know that many of you are eager to come back together, and we also know that many of you are anxious about what that will look like. We ask that the body be praying fervently and…
The King Comes into His City
As we come into our “new normal,” this week we are confronted with celebrating very traditional times in a very non-traditional way. We will celebrate the Lord’s Supper together, although we cannot physically be together. We will remember Palm Sunday and the entry of Christ into Jerusalem, but we cannot be together to sing His praise. Perhaps this will give us…
