Sermons on Salvation
The Final Fall
Welcome to Chapel City Church! This week we will continue working through the warning that our author began last week. He has many things to say to these precious people; things that would uplift and encourage them as they face trials. But there is a problem. They are not ready to hear what he has to say. They are mired in immaturity, and must grow up in their faith.…
Hope in Our Great High Priest
Welcome to Chapel City Church! Last week we finished the second major warning passage in the Book of Hebrews. The author reminds us that there was a generation that God led out of Egypt that had every proof of his power and love. And yet, they didn’t really know him at all. We were reminded that the same tendency toward unbelief lies in us, and that we should take…
While It’s Still Today
Welcome to Chapel City Church! Last week Charlie opened up chapter three inviting us to consider Christ. Jesus was presented as being better than Moses, as the builder of the house is worthy of more honor than a servant in the house. But that reference to Moses would immediately move the audience to thinking about a particular time in their shared history. And that…
Our Great Salvation
Welcome to Chapel City Church! Last week we looked at the destiny of humanity. Although we were created to be in fellowship with God and to exercise dominion over His creation, sin marred that design. Instead of dominion, we see death. But while we don’t see victory in being children of Adam, we do see Him. We see Jesus Christ whose death didn’t bring failure…
Where did THAT come from?
Where did THAT come from? Welcome to Chapel City Church! Over the last two weeks, James has instructed us to think rightly about trials. We understand that they are occasions for joy in the life of a believer not because they are easy, but because they produce eternally valuable things. Trials will come to everyone, but Christians can rejoice because of who they are in…
Armor for the Invisible War
While we are not called to obsess about spirits and demons, the Scriptures are clear that as Christians we have a real enemy and a target painted on our backs. We are in grave danger if we march onto the battlefield of life unaware or ignoring the fact that we have a devious enemy whose ultimate goal is our destruction. It is important to understand who the enemy is, what…
Gospel Singularity
Welcome to Chapel City Church! We are thankful that you have joined us for our time of corporate worship today. We are moving into our study of the Book of Galatians, and Paul wastes no time getting to his point. After his very brief introduction, he expresses his shock at their abandonment of the gospel message. They have apparently been pulled away by teaching that…
Can I Trust God?
Welcome to Chapel City Church. We are glad that you are here, and we would love to know how we can be praying for you specifically. As we open God’s word together this week, we will come to the end of our study of the Minor Prophets. Malachi is the last book in our Old Testament, and the final word of God to his people before 400 years of silence. As God makes…
Your Kingdom Come…
Good morning, and welcome to our time of worship here at Chapel City Church. Today we will come to the end of the Book of Zechariah as we near the end of our journey through the Minor Prophets. This wonderful book concludes with a sweeping picture of the Lord as a king coming to establish his kingdom. On that day, he will overcome the hatred of his people Israel and…
Israel: Rescued & Refined
Welcome to Chapel City Church. Whether this is your church home, or you are worshipping with us for the first time, we are glad that you are here! We would love the opportunity to answer any questions that you might have, or to know how we can be specifically praying for you. This week we will be in Zechariah 12 and 13. As we move into the final oracle of the book, we see…
Kings & Kingdoms
Good morning, and welcome to Chapel City Church. This week, please be in prayer for our middle school and high school students as they attend their winter retreat. Our hope is that they will grow in their relationship with the Lord and in their relationships with one another during this time away. As we open God’s word, we come back to the writing of the prophet…
Name Above All Names
Merry Christmas, and welcome to Chapel City Church! We are so glad that you have come to celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ with us. Perhaps this is your first time in church, or your first time in a long time. Know that we are thankful that you are here, and that we would love the opportunity to answer any questions that you might have. We believe that…
