Wait for the End
July 07, 2024 15:30Welcome to Chapel City Church! One of the most difficult aspects of following Jesus Christ is waiting patiently in hope for wrongs to be made right, for justice to be served, and to see with our eyes that God’s plan and timing really are the best. Are you ever discouraged when wicked men lie, cheat, and steal their way to success? Have you wondered how a good God could allow such men to prosper while his own people suffer? We […]
The Normal Christian Life, part 2
June 30, 2024 15:30Welcome to Chapel City Church, and the first of our One Summer services! We love being together, and we hope that you will take advantage of the opportunity to get to know people that you might not have seen in a while. This week we will continue to work through those things that the Spirit produces in the life of a believer. Joy and peace are common themes, but rarely a reality in the world that we live in. Quite […]
The Normal Christian Life, part 1
June 23, 2024 15:30Welcome to our time of worship here at Chapel City Church! We are so glad that you have joined us. We are moving through the Book of Galatians, and the last few weeks have been spent looking at those things that are produced when we walk in the power of the flesh. Strife, enmities, anger, all of those sinful byproducts of the love of self. But Paul began chapter 5 by saying that we have been made free. We are […]
The Fruit of the Flesh, part 3
June 16, 2024 15:30Good morning and welcome to Chapel City Church. We are glad that you’ve joined us, and we would love to know how we can be praying for you specifically. Please reach out through your connection card, a phone call, or an email and let us know how we can come alongside you. As we open Galatians 5 once again, we are going to conclude our list of the “fruits of the flesh” that Paul has given us. Once again, we […]
The Fruit of the Flesh, part 2
June 09, 2024 15:30Welcome to Chapel City Church. We are glad that you have joined us for worship today. As we continue to work our way through Galatians 5, we are going to encounter the next group of “Fruits of the Flesh.” This week we will look at those things that the flesh produces that are failures to love others well. These include sins like anger that are typically against an individual, but also dissension and factions that break the unity of the body of […]
The Fruit of the Flesh
June 02, 2024 15:29Thank you for joining us for our time of corporate worship together here at Chapel City Church! We would love the opportunity to get to know you, to answer any questions that you might have, and to know how we can be praying for you specifically. As we continue to work through Galatians chapter 5, we are going to see the divide between the Spirit and the flesh. Last week we were introduced to the conflict between the two, and […]
The Fight for Freedom
May 26, 2024 15:30Welcome to our time of worship here at Chapel City Church. As we open God’s word to Galatians 5, we will continue to think through what it means to live in the freedom that Christ has given us. Last week we saw that our freedom was not for selfish gain, but that it was an opportunity to serve others in love. But where do we get the ability to do that? If our flesh is naturally bent toward what is selfish […]
Called to Freedom
May 19, 2024 15:30Good morning and welcome to Chapel City Church. We are so thankful that you have joined us for our time of worship today, and our prayer is that you are encouraged in your faith as we sing, pray, and study God’s Word together. This week we will continue working through Galatians chapter 5. In verse 13 Paul comes back to the idea that as Christians, we have been called to freedom. But what are we free to do? In just a few short […]

For Freedom’s Sake
May 05, 2024 15:30 - 42.9 MBWelcome to Chapel City Church! We are so thankful that you have joined us for our time of worship together this morning. We would love to get to know you, to answer any questions that you have, and to know how we can be praying for you. Please feel free to reach out to the church office! For the first four chapters of Galatians, Paul has built up his theological case for freedom in Christ alone. He has shown his […]
Family Ties
April 28, 2024 15:30 - 42.6 MBThank you for joining us for our time of worship here at Chapel City Church. This week we will finish chapter 4 of Galatians. This portion of scripture is widely said to be one of the more difficult passages in the book. However, understanding the background of Paul’s illustration helps us significantly in our understanding. He connects the historical narrative of Abraham, Sarah, and Hagar with the idea of bondage and freedom. But what do Abraham’s children have to do […]
The Shepherd’s Heart
April 21, 2024 15:30 - 41.6 MBWelcome to Chapel City Church! We are so glad that you have come to worship with us today. We want to be a congregation that prays for one another, and with one another.

Prayer is one of the ways that we practically show our love for one another. And as […]
Sons or Slaves?

The Purpose of the Law
April 07, 2024 15:30 - 42.2 MBWelcome to Chapel City Church! We are so glad that you’ve joined us for worship this morning. We would love to know how we can be in prayer for you and your family.

After a brief break for Good Friday and Easter, we are back in the book of Galatians. As we come […]
Jesus Christ, Our Living Hope
March 31, 2024 15:31 - 34.1 MBWelcome to Chapel City Church! Today we celebrate the high point of our year, the cornerstone of our Christian faith. Today, we celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ! Our songs are joyful, and rightly so. Our hearts are lifted to hope and thanksgiving, and rightly so! And today, we want to take time to reflect on this Jesus that we worship. When he came to the earth that he created, he clothed himself in humility. But what is Jesus like now? […]
Good Friday
March 30, 2024 00:30 - 32.1 MBWelcome to our Good Friday celebration here at Chapel City Church. Although coming together on Good Friday is common and even traditional, maybe some of you wonder why we bother. After all, we know the end of the story! Jesus Christ is crucified and buried, but he is resurrected to life three days later. That wonderful truth drives our Easter celebrations. So why pause in the darkness of Friday when we anticipate the light of Sunday? The answer comes back to our […]
Sola Fide: Faith Alone!
March 24, 2024 15:30 - 31.7 MBWelcome to Chapel City Church! We are glad that you are here, and we would love to know how we can be praying specifically for you.

After confronting Peter about his hypocrisy in avoiding gentile believers, Paul turns his full attention back to the […]
Gospel Conflict
March 17, 2024 15:30 - 34.6 MBWelcome to Chapel City Church! We are working through the book of Galatians, and the major theme has been the gospel message. We have seen that it is a singular gospel; there is no other message that brings salvation. We have seen the origins of the gospel. It is not a man-made path to God, but a revelation of the person and work of Jesus Christ. And we have seen the unity that the gospel brings. Because the church has […]
Gospel Unity
March 10, 2024 15:30 - 45 MBWelcome to Chapel City Church. We are glad that you have joined us for worship today, and we would love to know how we can be praying for you. This week we will move into Galatians chapter 2. In the first chapter, Paul made a clear case that the gospel that he preached did not come from human imagination or intuition. He even pointed out that after his conversion he did not immediately seek out the other disciples for their input […]
Gospel Origins
March 03, 2024 16:30 - 42.8 MBThank you for joining us here at Chapel City Church.

Last week, we saw the unique nature of the gospel, and this week we will […]
Gospel Singularity
February 25, 2024 16:30 - 41.6 MBWelcome to Chapel City Church! We are thankful that you have joined us for our time of corporate worship today. We are moving into our study of the Book of Galatians, and Paul wastes no time getting to his point. After his very brief introduction, he expresses his shock at their abandonment of the gospel message. They have apparently been pulled away by teaching that attempts to combine grace and the law, saying that salvation is completed by the works […]
Finally Free
February 18, 2024 16:30 - 43.3 MBThank you for joining us for our time of worship here at Chapel City Church! Today we open up a new book that we will work through together in the coming months. Galatians has been referred to by some pretty lofty terms – “The Magna Carta of Christian Liberty,” “The Charter of Christian Freedom,” and other titles that hint at it’s great importance. In only six chapters, the apostle Paul provides clarity on the gospel message, and defends the eternal […]
Can I Trust God?
February 11, 2024 16:30 - 46.1 MBWelcome to Chapel City Church. We are glad that you are here, and we would love to know how we can be praying for you specifically. As we open God’s word together this week, we will come to the end of our study of the Minor Prophets. Malachi is the last book in our Old Testament, and the final word of God to his people before 400 years of silence. As God makes statements to his people, the prophet anticipates […]
The Last Warning
February 04, 2024 16:30 - 43.9 MBWelcome to Chapel City Church. We are so glad that you have joined us for our time of worship today.

Your Kingdom Come…
January 28, 2024 16:30 - 43.7 MBGood morning, and welcome to our time of worship here at Chapel City Church. Today we will come to the end of the Book of Zechariah as we near the end of our journey through the Minor Prophets. This wonderful book concludes with a sweeping picture of the Lord as a king coming to establish his kingdom. On that day, he will overcome the hatred of his people Israel and defeat their gathered enemies. On that day there will signs in […]
Israel: Rescued & Refined
January 21, 2024 16:30 - 40.7 MBWelcome to Chapel City Church. Whether this is your church home, or you are worshipping with us for the first time, we are glad that you are here!

As we move into the final oracle of the book, we see that the word of the Lord […]
The Good Shepherd: Revealed & Rejected
January 14, 2024 16:30 - 45.7 MBWelcome to our time of worship here at Chapel City Church. This Sunday we will continue working though the oracles that close the book of Zechariah. The first one is found in chapters 9,10, and 11. Last week in chapter 9 we saw the promise of two kings who would come. One came in judgment, the other came in perfection. This week, we will work through chapters 9 and 10 that tell us about the good shepherd promised to Israel. What […]
Kings & Kingdoms
January 07, 2024 16:30 - 41 MBGood morning, and welcome to Chapel City Church. This week, please be in prayer for our middle school and high school students as they attend their winter retreat. Our hope is that they will grow in their relationship with the Lord and in their relationships with one another during this time away. As we open God’s word, we come back to the writing of the prophet Zechariah. Chapter 9 moves us forward in time toward the end of the prophet’s […]
Why Are We Here?
December 31, 2023 16:30 - 47.6 MBWelcome 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 are going to spend our morning focusing […]
Name Above All Names
December 24, 2023 16:30 - 21.4 MBMerry Christmas, and welcome to Chapel City Church! We are so glad that you have come to celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ with us. Perhaps this is your first time in church, or your first time in a long time. Know that we are thankful that you are here, and that we would love the opportunity to answer any questions that you might have. We believe that Christmas is more than a time of family gatherings and goodwill. This […]
The Greatest Gift
December 17, 2023 16:30 - 41.2 MBWelcome to Chapel City Church! As we prepare to celebrate the wonder of Christmas, we want to turn our eyes toward the greatest gift ever given. Although we rejoice in the birth of Christ all year long, there is a special significance to this time of year. We remember the journey to Bethlehem, the manger, and the shepherds. We remember angels singing and a young mother treasuring these things in her heart. But this week, we are going to consider the […]
The Lord Remembers: Giving Acceptable Gifts
December 10, 2023 16:30 - 39 MBThank 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 scale, how do we know what gifts God will accept? […]
The Lord Remembers: Prophetic Pictures, part 4
December 03, 2023 16:30 - 43.2 MBWelcome to Chapel City Church! We are so glad that you’ve joined us for our time of worship today. We are working our way through the minor prophets, and we have come to the book of Zechariah. His name means “The Lord Remembers,” and that is a fitting description of the theme of the book. So far, God has given his prophet seven visions of what is to come for his people Israel, and for the nations. Today we will look […]
The Lord Remembers: Prophetic Pictures, part 3
November 26, 2023 16:30 - 46.7 MBWelcome to Chapel City Church. We hope that you had a wonderful Thanksgiving, and that every day of the year brings reminders of God’s abundant provision and faithfulness. One of the precious gifts that God has given us is his word. It’s through the scriptures that we learn the truth of who God is, and how he has reconciled us to himself through the sacrifice of Jesus Christ. This morning, we are going to continue through the book of Zechariah. […]
The Lord Remembers: Prophetic Pictures, part 2
November 19, 2023 16:30 - 52.2 MBWelcome to Chapel City Church. Today we are going to work through the next two visions given to the prophet Zechariah. God is revealing his plan for his people and the nations. But if those plans involve the physical restoration and exultation of God’s people, then what must happen first? How can God bless a people who have proven themselves to be stubborn and rebellious? These next two visions answer not only what the future will hold for Jerusalem, but […]
The Lord Remembers: Prophetic Pictures, part 1
November 12, 2023 16:30 - 35.9 MBThank you for joining us here at Chapel City Church. We would love to know how we can be praying for you, so please feel free to reach out to us with any specific needs or requests. As we move through the rest of Zechariah 1 today, we will encounter the first two visions that God gives his prophet. But how should we understand them? Are they for that people in that time, or should we try to find some universal […]
The Lord Remembers
November 05, 2023 16:31 - 33.6 MBWelcome to Chapel City Church. As we come together to sing, to study, and to minister to one another, we want to know how we can be praying for you! Please reach out to us with any questions or prayer requests. As we open God’s word together this morning, we will begin working our way through the book of Zechariah. Although he is one of the longest of the minor prophets, Zechariah is also one of the most overlooked. His […]

Where Will You Hide?
October 01, 2023 15:30 - 33.2 MBWelcome to Chapel City Church! We are so glad that you have joined us today for our time of worship. As we open God’s word together, we are coming to a turning point in the minor prophets. Today we will begin the book of Zephaniah, one of the least familiar books in our Old Testament. But Zephaniah represents a turning point in Israel’s history. Each of the minor prophets through Zephaniah writes in anticipation of the coming judgment of Assyria […]
Responding to Righteousness
September 24, 2023 15:30 - 40.2 MBWelcome to our time of worship here at Chapel City Church! We would love to answer any questions that you might have, and to know how we can be praying for you. This week will bring us to the conclusion of Habakkuk. It’s a wonderful little book that we don’t know as well as we should.

When God Stands Against You
September 03, 2023 15:30 - 35 MBWelcome to Chapel City Church! We are so glad that you have joined us for our time of worship today. Last week, we opened the book of Nahum and saw the promise of God to deal with the sins of Nineveh. Because he is holy, because he is just, God cannot ignore sin. He will deal with the sins of Israel and Judah as his people, but he will also deal with the sins of the nations. As we move […]

Living in Light of the Day
August 13, 2023 15:30 - 40.2 MBto worship with us today. If there are questions that you have, or things that we can be praying for, we would love to talk with you! “Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved.” The amazing thing about the gospel, indeed a stumbling block for many, is the truth that Jesus saves us, not because of works done by us in righteousness, but according to his own mercy. He calls us to believe in him, to trust […]

From Guilt to Glory: Christmas in July
July 30, 2023 15:45 - 41.9 MBWelcome to Chapel City Church! We are so glad that you’ve joined us for our time of worship this morning. We are working our way through the Minor Prophets; a series of short books with major truths that we need to understand. As we come to Micah 5, we are in one of the few well-known passages from this understudied book. We have seen that Jerusalem will come under judgement because of the people’s sin. We have also seen God’s promise […]
