Welcome to Chapel City Church! This week we light the third advent candle- The Candle of Joy. And it is indeed a joyful season. From the joy that we find in watching our kids’ choir to the joy that we feel as we celebrate with family and friends, this is a time that many of us cherish. But where does lasting joy come from? The season will come and go, the gifts will be used and forgotten, and family and friends might be separated by distance. Real joy has to be based on something more lasting, more permanent. Real joy comes in knowing who God is and what He has done. This week, we will find great joy in the promise of the King. Not just another ruler, but the King from the line of David who will be unlike any other king in history. Where did that promise start? What do we know about this coming king? And is there still something left to look forward to? We would love to know what questions we can answer, and how we can be praying specifically for you during this season.
For a child will be born to us, a son will be given to us;
And the government will rest on His shoulders;
And His name will be called Wonderful Counselor,
Mighty God, Eternal Father, Prince of Peace.
There will be no end to the increase of
His government or of peace,
On the throne of David and over his kingdom,
To establish it and to uphold it with justice and righteousness
From then on and forevermore.
The zeal of the Lord of hosts will accomplish this.
Isaiah 9:6-7
