In this Indiana Bible College chapel message, Rev. David G. Brown teaches on “How To Live A Productive Life.” Addressing questions that many young people wrestle with—Who am I? Where am I going? What am I supposed to do?—he points listeners to the foundation of a life anchored in God.

Rev. Brown has served Indiana Bible College faithfully for many years in a variety of roles and now serves as the Director of Library Services. Drawing from passages such as Proverbs 1:7, Zechariah 1:1–4, and Jeremiah 15:6, he reflects on the pattern seen throughout the Old Testament when Israel turned away from God and experienced the consequences of that decision.

Through these scriptures, the message highlights the importance of reverence for God, obedience to His word, and a life aligned with His purpose. Rev. Brown brings the central idea of the message into clear focus with a simple but powerful statement: “You want to know how to live a productive life… live for God.”

Key Themes:

Identity and purpose

We pray this chapel message encourages you to seek God first and to build a life that is truly productive in His kingdom.
