Welcome to Chapel City Church! This summer we are working our way through the Book of Proverbs with the goal of living wisely. We have seen that the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom. The Word of God is the source of wisdom and God uses His Word to transform our lives as we apply it to the big and small moments of our lives. This week we will consider the call to wisdom in our friendships. […]

Welcome to Chapel City Church! We have been working through the Book of Proverbs this summer with the goal of living lives characterized by wisdom. We will continue our walk through Proverbs and see what it has to say about anger and ways to avoid it. Anger is entangled in so many areas of our lives. We really need to see it as a serious sin issue, that will lead to many other sin issues, if it is not dealt with biblically.  If you […]

We have been working through the Book of Proverbs this summer with the goal of living lives characterized by wisdom. We know that the foundation of wisdom is the fear of the Lord. Last week we thought through our response to God in worship. But how do we respond to the world around us? If our families, our workplaces, and our culture were all characterized by righteousness and worship, then it would be easy! But we know that the world has […]

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 sense that worship is more than a group […]

Welcome to Chapel City Church! This summer we are working our way through the Book of Proverbs with the goal of living wisely. We have seen that the fear of the Lord is the foundation of wisdom. We have also seen that the source of wisdom is the word of God. But how do we begin to gain wisdom? Often, we learn through reading and meditating on God’s word. As we study scripture, we know that God uses his word to […]

Welcome to Chapel City Church! We are so glad that you have come to worship with us today! So far in the Book of Proverbs, we have worked to lay the foundation for our application. We know that wisdom begins with the fear of the Lord. We know that wisdom comes from God through his word, and that in order to act wisely we must move in humility. This week we will begin looking at how wisdom is practically applied […]

Welcome to Chapel City Church! Now that we have laid the foundation for wisdom, seen the source of wisdom, and explored the hope of wisdom, we need to begin thinking through how to apply wisdom. The Proverbs give practical insight into a number of different situations and circumstances that we encounter in our lives. But how do we take the knowledge of how to respond and put it into action? The reality is that our heart attitude will determine whether we move […]

Welcome to Chapel City Church! We are working our way through the Book of Proverbs with the goal of living lives of wisdom. So far, we have seen the beginning of wisdom in the fear of the Lord. An understanding of the nature and character of God leads to worshipful reverence and obedience. Last week we saw that the source of wisdom for the people of God is the Word of God. Real wisdom must come from the mind of the creator […]

This week we will open up James chapter 5 together. This chapter begins with a severe warning against those who would abuse their wealth. But before we assume that James has it out for rich people, or that it doesn’t apply to us because WE aren’t rich, let’s consider the context. We know that conflict is driven by selfish desires. We have seen how there can be a prideful attitude in the way that we make our plans. Tomorrow isn’t […]

Welcome to Chapel City Church! Over the past two weeks we have looked at where conflict comes from. Although we would prefer to blame people or circumstances, James makes it clear that conflict is a result of selfish desires that take the place of worship and obedience. And because that’s the case, the solution is a repentant response that draws near to God in worship. But that prideful tendency doesn’t only come out in the way that we interact with […]
