Thank you for joining us here at Chapel City Church. We hope that you will reach out with any questions that you might have, or let us know how we can be ministering to you during this time. As we come to the end of Matthew 19, Peter asks a question that might seem inappropriate. “Lord, what is there for us?” He had just seen a rich young man refuse to give up his wealth for the sake of the King […]

Welcome to Chapel City Church. We are so glad that you have joined us for our time of worship this morning. We are moving back into Matthew 19 where the focus turns to the coming kingdom. Jesus has preached about the kingdom that is to come, and the need for repentance. The people have expectations for what that kingdom will look like, and who will enter into it. But who will enter into the kingdom? Is it the educated? The […]

Welcome to Chapel City Church. We are so glad that you have joined us for our time of worship together today. Last week we looked at a passage that was easy to understand but very difficult to apply. Discipline is not something that we normally think of as encouraging and uplifting. However, we have to remember that discipline is both instructive and corrective. In one sense, we are constantly being disciplined in our faith as we study, as we learn, and […]

As we study Matthew’s gospel in our corporate worship service, we will continue to work our way through chapter 18. This week we come to a passage that is both familiar and difficult; the instructions for how the church deals with sin in the body. We tend to think of discipline in terms of punishment or negative consequences. Those are pieces of discipline that have a God given time and place. However, discipline is the entire process of growing toward […]

We are so glad that you are joining us on this very special Sunday. As we continue working through Matthew 18, we come to a very familiar parable of a man who leaves 99 sheep in order to seek out the 1 that was lost. But this is more than a sweet story. This is a powerful reminder of the love of God for his “little ones.” How does understanding this parable lead us to worship the God who called us […]

Good morning and welcome to Chapel City Church! We live in a world that pursues greatness at any cost. Whether it’s the desire to be great in business, great in politics, or great in sports, the draw is always there. As we move into Matthew 18, the disciples ask Jesus what it will mean to be great in the coming kingdom. His answer is not what they were expecting! His kingdom is not like earthly kingdoms, and greatness in this […]

Welcome to Chapel City Church! We are glad that you have come to worship with us today. As we work through the Gospel of Matthew, one of the key questions has been, “who is Jesus?” Matthew told us from the very beginning that he was the Christ, the son of Abraham, and the Son of David. The angel announced to Joseph that he would be conceived of the Holy Spirit, and would save his people from their sins. But it […]

Thank you for joining us for our time of worship here at Chapel City Church. So far in Matthew 17 we have gone up and down the mountain with Jesus, Peter, James, and John. They have seen the glory of Christ revealed as Jesus was transfigured and the voice from heaven proclaimed that he was the Beloved Son. Last week we saw the disciples struggle to put together the pieces of information that they wrestle with. How do the glory and […]

Welcome to our time of worship together here at Chapel City Church! Last week we witnessed one of the most dramatic scenes in Matthew’s gospel account as Jesus was transfigured before three of his disciples. They saw the King of Kings in his glory and splendor; a foretaste of what the coming kingdom will look like. But does that experience clear up all of their questions and doubts? Is a singular experience the cure for a little faith? As we […]

Thank you for joining us here at Chapel City Church as we come together for worship. We have been working through Matthew’s gospel which presents Jesus as the promised messiah and coming king. However, Jesus has now begun to tell his disciples about the necessity of his suffering, death, and resurrection. As we came to the end of Chapter 16, Jesus made a promise that some of the men standing there listening to him would not die before they saw the […]
