Contrasting Covenants
Welcome to Chapel City Church! Last week the author of Hebrews gave us a summary in the middle of the book. He pointed us backwards to where he’s been, and gave us a preview of where he’s going. And where he’s going for the next couple of chapters is a wonderfully encouraging look at the blessings of a better covenant. The Old Covenant had value. It…
Mary’s Christmas Carol
Merry Christmas! It’s our joy to welcome you to Chapel City Church as we celebrate the advent of our savior, Jesus Christ. This season is marked with special celebrations. We have specific events that we attend, people that we gather with, and decorations that we put up. We also have songs that help us think about the significance of what happened so long ago. Every…
Better than Angels, part 2
Welcome to Chapel City Church! This week we will continue working through Hebrews chapter 1. Our author is in the middle of making the case that Jesus Christ is better than any angel. Angels are powerful, but Christ alone is sovereign. Angels are wise, but only God is all-knowing, omniscient. Angels inspire fear and awe, but Jesus Christ is worthy of worship. As he closes…
Better than Angels, part 1
Wisdom & Worship
Welcome to Chapel City Church! As we work our way through the book of Proverbs, our goal is to put wisdom into practice. The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, and our greatest desire is to worship God with our whole lives. But what does worship look like? How do wisdom and worship overlap? If we know that wisdom is more than a collection of facts, then it makes…
The Way to Wisdom
This week we will open up the Book of Proverbs as we lay the foundation for our summer series. When we worked through James, we saw that God promised to give wisdom to those who ask for it. The primary way that God grants wisdom to his people is through his inerrant, authoritative, inspired word. The Book of Proverbs will show us what it looks like to live in practical…
A Faith that Works
Welcome to Chapel City Church! As we continue working through James chapter 2, we are going to come to one of the most difficult passages in the whole letter. It isn’t grammar or content that make this passage difficult. Rather, it’s how James appears to say something different about faith and works than the other New Testament writers. Does James really say…
Walking in the Word
Welcome to Chapel City Church! This week we will finish the first chapter in our study of the Book of James. This last section will set the stage for the rest of what James writes to his scattered readers. The reality of your faith is demonstrated by its impact on your life. There is a faith that is deluded, a religion that is worthless. There is a way to look eternally…
Holiness & Humility

If you have any questions about who we are as a church, or ways that you might get plugged into life here at Chapel City, please reach out to the church office. We would also like to know how we can be praying for you…
Can I Really Trust Jesus?
Welcome to Chapel City Church! This week we will be doing something a bit different than our normal service format. Several of us had the opportunity to travel to Ensenada, Mexico to partner with YUGO Ministries. We came alongside a local pastor and built a home for a family in his church. This morning we will share with you what we shared with that precious local body of…
Why Are We Here?
Welcome to Chapel City Church! We are on the threshold of another year, and it’s a wonderful time to consider all that God has done for us. Through joy and sorrow, plenty and need, he has sustained and provided for us as individuals and as a church. But what does it mean to be a church? What are we supposed to do? What are we supposed to be? As we step into 2024, we…
The Lord Remembers: Giving Acceptable Gifts
Thank you for being with us today. Here at Chapel City Church, we want to be a people who pray with and for one another. If there is something that we can be praying about specifically, please reach out and let us know. As we approach Christmas, many of us have gift-giving on our minds. But how do we know what gifts people will appreciate? On an eternally more important…
