Sermons on Worship (Page 2)
Heart or Habit?
When we talk about worshipping together, what do we mean by that? Is our worship defined by the things that we sing, say and do? As we move into Matthew 15, the idea of real worship will be at the heart of the conflict between Jesus and the religious leaders. They assumed that in doing things that looked right, they could make themselves right with God. Jesus…
Faith & Fear
As we work our way through the gospel of Matthew, we hope that you are continually reminded of the sovereign power and tender care of Jesus Christ. Matthew 14 has already demonstrated these things through the feeding of the thousands that we saw last week. But what comes next? What could follow up such a significant event in the ministry of Jesus? Well, the crowds want to…
Called to Worship
This week we will have the privilege of hearing from one of our elders: Walter Lopatka. We have been looking at the Lord’s Prayer, but this week our attention will move to the book of Hebrews. We were created for the purpose of worship and fellowship with God. But why does that call matter and what motivates us to carry out that great purpose? What did the people of…
The Disciple’s Prayer
Thank you for joining us for worship here at Chapel City Church! Whether you are able to be with us in person or at home, whether you are a member or a guest, we are glad that you are with us this week. Last week we opened up the first three petitions from the Lord’s Prayer. All three were expressions of longing for the glory of God to be displayed and marveled at.…

The Disciple’s Directive
We know that the format has changed, but we also know that the power of God, the authority of His word, and the blessing of being a part of the body of Christ remains unchanged! This week we will work through the familiar words of Matthew 5 that call disciples of Christ to be salt and light. In a world that is perishing in darkness, kingdom citizens are to be altogether…
The King’s Testing
As we come together to worship, we hope that you are encouraged in your walk and challenged to live a life of submission and obedience to Christ. This week, we will begin to open up Matthew chapter 4. The King has been presented and the Father has testified that this is the beloved Son in whom He is well pleased. Now, it is time for the King to be tested. Jesus is led…
Responding to the King: Worship & Wrath, Part 2
We are so glad that you have made us a part of your week. We are working through the second chapter of Matthew’s gospel, and we are seeing two very different responses to Jesus Christ. On one hand, you have the Magi who come in worship. These men of some wealth and reputation recognize that…
Responding to the King: Worship & Wrath, Part 1
Welcome to Chapel City Church, we are glad to have you with us today! As we move into the second chapter of Matthew, we are still in familiar territory. This week we are introduced to several new and important characters in Matthew’s narrative. The King of the Jews has been born, but king…
The Strategy: Serve (Part 2)
This week marks the conclusion of the sermon series that we started in September. Over the course of these last two months, we have looked at the vision, core values, and strategies of the church. Essentially, we are trying to communicate the reason that we exist and the practical steps that are necessary to carry out that mission. Last week, we looked at service and what…
The Mission of the Church: Why Are We Here?
We are moving into the fall, and with the new school year comes a new year of ministry as well! But we have to ask ourselves why we do the things that we do. As a church, are we able to identify not only why we have certain ministries, but are we able to identify why it is we exist in the first place? This week we will begin a sermon series that seeks to answer that…
Worship & Warning
We are thankful that you have joined us this week! The weather is still warm, but summer is definitely winding down. Kids are back in school, ministries are starting up again, and the pace of life seems to be picking up again for many of us. One of the great blessings of the Psalms is their ability to remind us of what truly matters. While life is constantly changing,…
