Devotional Passage: Luke 1:34-38 I don’t understand. That doesn’t make sense. How is that possible? Each of these phrases expresses a similar emotion: confusion. Maybe you can remember the last time you were really confused about something. Maybe it’s been a while. But we’ve all been there. Faced with a situation we can’t quite figureContinue reading “God With Us: Day 5”

Devotional Passage: Luke 1:26-33 If your family has ever received a birth announcement in the mail, you know that they’re pretty cool. You’ve seen these, right? Baby is born. Mom and dad dress baby up in a super-cute outfit (or go the minimalist route and show the baby in his/her birthday suit). The picture isContinue reading “God With Us: Day 4”

Devotional Passage: Luke 1:24-25 Have you ever been accused of something you didn’t do? It could have been something small or some-thing big. No matter what it is, when you get blamed for something, it’s a terrible feeling, especially when you know that you didn’t do anything wrong. Read Luke 1:24-25. We’re continuing with theContinue reading “God With Us: Day 3”

Devotional Passage: Luke 1:8-23 Surprises. Sometimes surprises are good. And sometimes surprises are not so good. When your parents tell you you’re going to the beach after Christmas? Good surprise. When your coach informs you that today’s practice will be nothing but conditioning? Bad surprise. New phone for your birthday? Good surprise. Pop-quiz? Bad surprise.Continue reading “God With Us: Day 2”

Devotional Passage: Luke 1:5-7 Waiting is something most people struggle with (even though these days, waiting in line or for someone to show up at a restaurant means you get extra time to check social media or play a video game on your phone). We’re impatient by nature. But the funny thing is that GodContinue reading “God With Us: Day 1”

Ephesians 6:18-24 18 praying at all times in the Spirit, with all prayer and supplication.

Written By: Eli Hey Chapel Youth, Looking forward to our Zoom Olympics this Tuesday at 6:30! I wanted to take some time to slow things down and ask a few simple questions. As we’ve concluded our study in Ephesians, I’m reflecting on what God has told us through His word. We’ve heard of the goodnessContinue reading “Leader Letter 5/21/20”

Ephesians 6:10-17 10 Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his might. 11 Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the schemes of the devil. 12 For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powersContinue reading “Devotional 5/20/20”

Written By: Eli Earlier in Ephesians, we discussed the cultural division between Jew and Gentile, and how Christ’s work tore down the divide. This is something Paul explores in Galatians 5. 1For freedom Christ has set us free; stand firm therefore, and do not submit again to a yoke of slavery. 2 Look: I, Paul, sayContinue reading “Leader Letter 5/19/20”

Ephesians 6:1-9 Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right. 2 “Honor your father and mother” (this is the first commandment with a promise), 3 “that it may go well with you and that you may live long in the land.” 4 Fathers, do not provoke your children to anger, but bring them up inContinue reading “Devotional 5/18/20”
