The season will come and …

This week we will open 1 Peter chapter 4 and be reminded of what we look forward to. Living as strangers and sojourners in a world that is not our home can seem daunting. When we suffer for living in obedience to Christ, we might be tempted to give up or move toward despair. But Peter reminds his audience of a certain future that lies ahead of them…

Welcome to Chapel City Church! We are glad that you’ve joined us for our time of worship. Today we are going to finish 1 Peter chapter 3 by looking at where we find our sense of security.
