Sermons on Obedience
The Path to Joy
Welcome to Chapel City Church! This week we will continue to look at what genuine faith produces in the lives of believers. Experiencing joy, and all aspects of the fruit of the Spirit are one way we see how saving faith changes us in our daily lives. But what is our part in receiving this gift in the midst of circumstances that are not joyful, or peaceful. Today we…
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…
James: Faith in Action
Welcome to Chapel City Church! As we turn the calendar over to a new year, we also turn the pages of our bible to the study of a new book. For the next few months, we will work our way through the Book of James. This wonderful, practical book shows us what real faith looks like. It’s more than understanding a collection of theological facts. It’s more than…
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…
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…

Good for Goodness Sake?
Welcome to Chapel City Church! We are so glad that you have joined us today. We have been working through the book of Galatians for the last several months, and we are coming close to the end. As he draws his letter to a close, Paul is reminding his readers what it practically looks like to live a life in the power of the Spirit. Last time, we saw how we are called to…
The Normal Christian Life, Part 4
Welcome to Chapel City Church! We are glad that you have joined us for our time of worship. We would like to know how we can be praying for you. One way to let us know is through the connection card in your bulletin. Another way is to talk with a member of our prayer team right after the service. Either way, we want to be a body that lifts each other up in prayer! This…

This week we are back in the Book of Galatians and continuing to work…
The Normal Christian Life, part 1
Welcome to our time of worship here at Chapel City Church! We are so glad that you have joined us. We are moving through the Book of Galatians, and the last few weeks have been spent looking at those things that are produced when we walk in the power of the flesh. Strife, enmities, anger, all of those sinful byproducts of the love of self. But Paul began chapter 5 by…
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…
