Sermons on Rejection
A Certain Judgement
Welcome to Chapel City Church! This week we will work through the next warning passage in the Book of Hebrews. These warnings started off relatively gently: Don’t drift! By this time, they have progressed to include some difficult language. The author’s argument isn’t confusing or difficult to follow, but the reality of what he says is severe. He has…
Don’t Drift!
Welcome to Chapel City Church! Last week we wrapped up chapter 1 that introduced us to Jesus Christ as being better. Better than what? Better than anything! He is the better word, the one who created and sustains the universe, the one who is by very nature God, and the one who completed the work of redemption for his people. Most of chapter 1 was spent proving that Jesus…
The Good Shepherd: Revealed & Rejected
Welcome to our time of worship here at Chapel City Church. This Sunday we will continue working though the oracles that close the book of Zechariah. The first one is found in chapters 9,10, and 11. Last week in chapter 9 we saw the promise of two kings who would come. One came in judgment, the other came in perfection. This week, we will work through chapters 9 and 10…

The King’s Invitation
Last week we finished Matthew 21 with a look at two parables that demonstrated the rejection of Jesus by the religious leaders. It’s important for us to remember that the chapter breaks in our bibles, while helpful, can sometimes separate things that go together. Chapter 22 opens with a third parable that Jesus gave on that occasion, and the three are all…

Signs, Spirits, & a Sinful Generation
Welcome to our time of worship here at Chapel City Church. We are thankful that you are here, and we would love to know how we can be praying for you during this time. As we come to God’s word this morning, we will be back in Matthew chapter 12. We have seen growing opposition to Jesus, particularly from the religious leaders. This week, we will see the scribes and…
The King: Rejected & Received
As we come to the end of Matthew 11, we are going to be faced with a growing divide in Matthew’s Gospel. The proof of who Jesus Christ is has been given time and time again. His birth makes it clear, his genealogy makes it clear, his teaching makes it clear, and his miracles make it clear. We spent time looking at how John the Baptist was the promised forerunner of…
Preparing the Way
Welcome to Chapel City Church! We are so glad that you have joined us for our time of worship this week. If there is a way that we can be praying for you, or a need that we might be able to meet, please reach out and let us know. This week we will continue in Matthew 11 as Jesus addresses the gathered crowd. He speaks about the greatness of John the Baptist, and…
Sight, Speech, & the Savior
We are glad that you have joined us for worship today. As we work our way through Matthew’s gospel, we have seen a consistent return to the identity of Jesus. Matthew opens with his genealogy, helping us understand that he is the Son of Abraham and the Son of David. At his baptism, we are told by the voice of the Father from heaven that He is the Son of God. Christ…
Responding to the King: Worship & Wrath, Part 2
We are so glad that you have made us a part of your week. We are working through the second chapter of Matthew’s gospel, and we are seeing two very different responses to Jesus Christ. On one hand, you have the Magi who come in worship. These men of some wealth and reputation recognize that…
