At King’s Chapel, we are all about the gospel. Peruse our website and you’ll notice that the word gospel appears frequently. It’s embedded in our mission statement and repeated in our core values. And it is often included in the title of our sermon series. So, it’s obvious that the gospel is in our vocabulary. But what is the gospel? … Read More

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

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

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

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

Earlier this year, we joined an online platform called CarePortal. CarePortal brings the needs of hurting children and families in the community to the attention of churches. More specifically, CarePortal is designed to galvanize churches to meet the material needs of children living in the foster care system as well as prevent children from entering foster care by strengthening biological families. … Read More

We are half-way through summer, the time when some people are tackling their summer reading list. Maybe you don’t have a reading list, per se, but you’re in-between books and looking for an idea for your next read. Or perhaps, you are not an avid reader but you’re looking for a way to incorporate more reading into your diet (a late … Read More

Each time I post a new song, I write a reminder that the songs we sing have great meaning and purpose. We can’t just shrug off lyrical content because “it’s just a song.” This is an important principle because lyrics teach. After corporate worship, it’s more likely that a song will stick in our heads than an exact quote from … Read More
