The King’s Suffering

Last week we came to the high point of Matthew’s gospel as Peter declared that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of the Living God. In one of the most dramatic and sudden shifts in the whole New Testament, this week we will find out what it will mean for the Christ to accomplish his work. This is not the messiah that these men were expecting. This is the King, but this…

Kingdom Crumbs?

Welcome to Chapel City Church! We are so glad that you have come to worship our great God with us today. As we continue through the gospel of Matthew, we have seen Jesus come with the power of his kingdom. Although he has come to seek and save the lost, although he comes teaching and healing, there is a growing divide concerning him. As he promised, those who are his…

The Better Promises of Easter

Welcome to Easter Sunday at Chapel City Church! Whether this is your church home or your first time with us, we are glad that you have joined us today. The resurrection of Jesus Christ is the pivotal event in all of human history. The Son of God took on flesh and lived a sinless life. Every word, every thought, every action was perfectly pleasing to the Father. And yet,…

The Merciful Messiah

Thank you for joining us for our time of worship. We are glad that you are here, either in person or online. We also want to know how we can be praying for you or ministering to you if there is a need. Please reach out and let us know! Over the last two weeks we have seen Jesus offer rest to those who are burdened and weary. The Pharisees accuse the disciples of…

The Lord of the Sabbath

. Last week we saw the call of Christ to come to him for our rest. That understanding will be critical as we move into chapter 12 together. Jesus and the disciples are confronted by the Pharisees who challenge their Sabbath behavior. But what did the Sabbath demand and what was its purpose? We live in a culture that does not value rest. It is evident in how we approach…

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…

The Lord of the Harvest

Welcome to our time of worship here at Chapel City Church! We have come to a turning point in the book of Matthew. From the opening verses of his gospel account, Matthew has given evidence for the identity of Jesus. He has called him the son of Abraham and David. He has pointed back to the prophets of the Old Testament who spoke of his birthplace and his forerunner. We…

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…

The King’s Call

We are so glad that you have come to worship with us today. We have been working our way through chapters 8 and 9 in Matthew’s gospel, and we have seen that they focus heavily on the authority of Jesus Christ. He teaches with authority, he heals with authority, he casts out demons with authority, and he even has the authority to forgive sins. All of this…

Christ’s Ultimate Authority

Welcome to Chapel City Church! We are so glad that you have joined us for our time of worship this week. As we come to a national election, we are drawn to thinking about what authority looks like and whom it should be entrusted to. As we have worked though Matthew 8, the central focus is on the authority of Jesus Christ. He has the authority to heal diseases,…
