At King’s Chapel, we often make the statement that we are a church of community groups rather than a church with Community Groups. That seemingly insignificant preposition actually emphasizes the importance of community. Community is not an optional add-on to the Christian life, it is an essential and vibrant element of the Christian life. And it extends beyond Sunday morning corporate worship. How else could … Read More
All Glory be to Christ Our King
Well, it’s that time again, the beginning of another year. In an instant, we moved from 2019 to 2020. One thing that I heard continually as I watched the television broadcast from New York City was “It’s 2020, it’s a new year and a new slate for all of us. We can forget about 2019 and move to 2020.” The … Read More
Weather-Related Cancellations
Winter is here, and as residents of the great Northeast that means preparing ourselves for the inevitability of inclement weather. Although rare, it might be necessary to cancel Sunday morning Corporate Worship or weekday evening activities such as Monday night classes and Wednesday night Youth Group if roadway conditions become too dangerous for travel. We take the safety of our … Read More
Gospel Thanksgiving
History.com has this to say about Thanksgiving Day: “Thanksgiving Day is a national holiday in the United States, and Thanksgiving 2019 occurs on Thursday, November 28.

Happy Reformation Day
It’s officially Fall in the Northeast – vibrant foliage, festivals, costumes, and candy. Autumn happens to be my favorite of the four seasons. Maybe it’s because I hardly experienced any seasonal changes in my native stomping grounds of Orlando, Florida. What you might not realize is that Fall, or more specifically, the month of October is celebrated around the globe … Read More
About the Song: Jesus Is Better
Over the past few weeks, we’ve been singing a new song together called “Jesus Is Better,” which coincides with our current sermon series “Hebrews: Jesus Is Better.” I have found this song to be a stellar addition to our church’s repertoire as it blends gospel-centrality with doxology and supplication. If you haven’t noticed by now, I don’t only like to … Read More
Ante Faciem Dei
We recently introduced a new Bible reading method called Ante Faciem Dei, which means “Before the face of God.” It’s not the only method of Bible study, and it’s also not an entirely brand new approach to reading Scripture. Instead, we have collected some of the basic principles of Biblical hermeneutics (Biblical interpretation) along with key insights from other Bible Study … Read More

We Are Free
This week, we will be singing a new song together. At the time of this blog post, we’re wrapping up our series on the book of Galatians titled “No Other Gospel.” It has been a study rich in foundational gospel truths. Truths that we don’t want to forget as we move on into other studies. Truths that give us great … Read More
