Peace on Earth

This is the second week of Advent, and today we light the candle of peace. We sing songs about peace on earth and goodwill toward men, but we know that real peace is hard to come by. Nations are in conflict, and always have been. There is significant division along so many lines, even within our own country. And, if that wasn’t enough, we are often a people with…

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…

The Son & the Substitute

Welcome to Chapel City Church! As we continue to move through the Advent season, we are focusing on the promises that God has made to his people. Last week we looked at the promise of the “head crusher” from Genesis 3, and we saw how God was faithful to fulfill that through the birth of Jesus Christ. We also look forward to his final victory when Satan is defeated…

Anticipating the Advent: Peace

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…

Prepare Him Room: Peace

We are moving through our Advent series called “Prepare Him Room.” Last week we lit the candle of hope and remembered the hope that comes from the faithfulness of God. He promised a redeemer and king over His people, and that promise finds its fulfillment in Jesus Christ. This week, we light the candle of peace. We live in a time where peace is a hard thing to come…

Character Traits of the Family of God, Part 2

We are glad that you have come to worship with us today. The foundation for the book of Colossians has been the truth of the person and work of Jesus Christ. We have to recognize His preeminent place in all of creation so that we respond rightly in worship. We have to understand that His death on the cross and His resurrection from the grave are the only means of being in…
