Sermons on Resurrection
Jesus Christ, Our Living Hope
Welcome to Chapel City Church! Today we celebrate the high point of our year, the cornerstone of our Christian faith. Today, we celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ! Our songs are joyful, and rightly so. Our hearts are lifted to hope and thanksgiving, and rightly so! And today, we want to take time to reflect on this Jesus that we worship. When he came to the earth…
Celebrating the Resurrection
Welcome to our time of celebration as we remember the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead! The empty tomb is more than a historical fact or theological talking point. The fact that Jesus Christ was raised to life is central to the message of the gospel and essential for our daily walk. The resurrection of Jesus means that we have a living hope, a secure eternity,…
He is Risen!
Thank you for joining us for our time of worship here at Chapel City Church. We would love to know how we can come alongside you, no matter where you are in life. If there’s a way that we can be praying for you, please use the connection cards to let us know, or stop by our prayer room after service. As we continue our study of Matthew’s gospel today, we…
Easter Sunday: The Power of the Resurrection
Good morning and welcome to our celebration of the resurrection of Jesus Christ! This is the most pivotal event in human history. We lived at war with the God who created us, rebels by nature and by choice. Easter Sunday calls us to peace. Not because of who we are or what we have done, but because of what Christ accomplished through his death, burial, and…
Hope in Hopeless Times
He is risen! Those words have real power. They speak to the power of God. They speak of victory over sin and death. They speak hope into our lives. But in times like these, hope seems to be in short supply. Even if we aren’t afraid of being impacted first-hand by the virus, there are concerns about loved ones, about job security, about when and if the world will…
The Hope of the Resurrection
This is the time of year when we celebrate the focal point of all human history. That might sound like an overstatement, but I assure that it isn’t. The events of the death, burial, and resurrection of Christ stand as the most significant to ever occur. Mankind lives in slavery to sin and death, and we are powerless to free ourselves. This week, we celebrate the…
Putting Our Theology into Practice
What does it mean to worship, and what are the ways that we are called to worship? Perhaps most of us hear the word and immediately think of the songs that we sing on a Sunday morning. And that certainly is one aspect of our worship. But really, to worship is to recognize the honor, merit, or value of something. When we worship, we recognize and respond to the greatness…
Transformed from “Come & See” to “Go & Be Like Me”
(Click “SAVE” above to download the sermon and notes.) Jesus began his ministry with a simple call for a few men to “come and see” who he was and what he was going to do. Jesus transformed our world and the people he interacted with, especially those disciples. He leads them from…
The Hope We Need to Survive
(Click on “Save” above to download this week’s sermon and notes.) When you’re struggling it’s easy to lose hope. We spiral down into despair and wonder if we can ever get out. Sunday we look at 1 Peter 1:13-21 and realize that hope is more than wishful thinking or an optimistic attitude; it is a new heart based on God-inspired realities. These are truths that must work…
Easter Sunday

Jesus Came to Live In Us
(Click on “Save” above to download this week’s sermon notes) We recognize the resurrection, the premier event of our faith with special music, special readings, and a special service as we celebrate the reality that Jesus is alive! This is a wonderful opportunity to bring along friends and family to rejoice with you and thank God for all that he has done through Jesus…
How the Resurrection Changed Me
We’ll proclaim “He is risen!” on Sunday morning as we worship on this high point of the year. We would be lost without the resurrection. On Friday we talk about how the crucifixion changed the disciples. On Sunday we’ll talk about how the resurrection changes us! Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.…
