Sermons on Restoration
The Hope of Restoration
Welcome to Chapel City Church! This week we come to the end of our time in the Book of James. It’s been a wonderful journey, but a painful one at times. Chapter by chapter, James reminds us of what a genuine, living faith looks like. And he does that because he loves his audience. His doesn’t want them to be deceived into thinking that they are children of God…
The Source of our Strength
Welcome to Chapel City Church! We are coming close to the end of our time in the Book of James. At this point in his letter, James gives some final instruction that centers around prayer. As Christians, we understand that prayer ought to be a priority in our lives. Jesus taught us how to pray, Paul taught us to pray without ceasing, and Revelation concludes with the…
Bearing Burdens
Welcome to Chapel City Church! We are glad that you have come to worship with us through singing, giving, studying God’s word, and encouraging our brothers and sisters in Christ. As we open God’s word, we will be working through the first part of Galatians 6. While we strive to demonstrate the fruit of the spirit in our lives, there are times in every believer’s life when…
Gospel Conflict
Welcome to Chapel City Church! We are working through the book of Galatians, and the major theme has been the gospel message. We have seen that it is a singular gospel; there is no other message that brings salvation. We have seen the origins of the gospel. It is not a man-made path to God, but a revelation of the person and work of Jesus Christ. And we have seen the…
The Lord Remembers: Prophetic Pictures, part 2
Welcome to Chapel City Church. Today we are going to work through the next two visions given to the prophet Zechariah. God is revealing his plan for his people and the nations. But if those plans involve the physical restoration and exultation of God’s people, then what must happen first? How…
From Guilt to Glory: Opening Arguments
Welcome to Chapel City Church. Whether you are a visitor or a regular attender, we are happy to have you with us this morning. If there are ways that we can be praying for you, we would love to know! Please reach out to us through a connection card, phone call, or email with any needs, questions, or concerns. This week we will open the next book in our series on the…
Correction & Kindness
Thank you for joining us for our time of worship here at Chapel City Church. As we close the book of Amos, we are going to see the fullness of God’s justice and mercy. Because he is holy, sin must be dealt with. Amos takes us through the failures of Israel as they refuse to submit to what God has called them to be and to do. They do religious things, but their god…
The Work of the Cross
Good morning, and welcome to our time of worship here at Chapel City Church. We would love the opportunity to get to know you, answer any questions that you have, and understand how we can be praying for you. Last week we looked at the final hours of Christ on the cross. As the Son bears the wrath of God in place of his people, the work of redemption is done. A new and…
Rejection & Remorse
Good morning, and welcome to our time of worship here at Chapel City Church. Last week we looked at the unjust trial of Jesus Christ before the religious leaders of Israel. Despite the lies, the Son maintained perfect obedience. He was silent, even as scripture prophesied that he would be. And when asked specifically about who he was, he spoke the only true testimony…
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…
Defeating Death
Welcome to our time of worship here at Chapel City Church. We are so glad that you have joined us today, and we would love to know how we can be praying for you or ministering to you during this time. As we have worked through Matthew 8 and 9, we have seen a pattern develop. Matthew presents a series of miracles followed by a section where people respond to Christ. This…
Prepare Him Room: Joy
As we continue to “Prepare Him Room” during this advent season, this week we look at the joy that comes in the promise of a savior. As we have done the last couple of weeks, we will take a promise made in the Old Testament and understand how it relates to the Christmas season. When Isaiah speaks of hope, peace, and joy, he does so in a specific context. It’s…
