President's Chapel @ Elim Bible College

In the Postmodern world in which we live, how does a follower of Jesus remain unmistakably faithful? Ephesians 5 gives believers five habits for living with conviction in a culture of relativism: walk wisely, watch your time, work out God’s will, welcome the filling of the Holy Spirit, and worship well. Christians are called not merely to survive the culture but to live differently within it—making every moment count, grounding their lives in God’s Word, surrendering to the Holy Spirit, and worshiping with their whole lives. 

What happens when you’ve done everything you can—and the people or ministry you poured your life into are no longer in your hands? Philippians 1 reminds us that God finishes what He starts. Ministry requires investing deeply in people while remembering that ultimately, they belong to Him. Challenges, conflict, and unexpected setbacks do not mean God has stopped working. Our responsibility is to remain faithful and trust Him with the results. We may plant, serve, and eventually step away—but God’s work continues long after ours is finished.

Following Jesus may be simple, but that doesn’t mean it will be easy. The speaker illustrates this through his journey of becoming a “46er,” hiking all 46 high peaks in New York. On one winter hike, what seemed simple—follow the marked trail up the mountain—became an exhausting journey through deep snow and extreme cold. Yet the difficulty ultimately strengthened and bonded the hikers together. In the same way, the hard seasons of life and ministry can shape us, deepen our relationships, and draw us closer to God. Hard doesn’t always mean wrong, and easy doesn’t always mean right. God may not always remove the difficulty, but He promises His presence through it.

What if God’s greatest plans for your life begin with one simple decision: “I’ll go”? This powerful message reminds us that we do not always see the whole journey before taking the first step. Sometimes God guides us as we go. From a simple decision to serve for one week to carrying the gospel across nations, small acts of obedience can lead somewhere we never imagined. The need is great, the harvest is ready, and Jesus is worthy. The question is not whether we have everything figured out—it is whether we are willing to say, “Here I am, Lord. I’ll go.”

Why is it often easier to remember what hurt us than what God has done for us? Negative experiences can stay fresh in our minds because we replay them again and again, while moments of God’s goodness can easily fade into the background. Scripture repeatedly calls us to remember and give thanks. When we intentionally recall God’s faithfulness, our circumstances may not immediately change—but our perspective can. Remembering His goodness strengthens our hope, builds our faith, and helps us persevere through difficult seasons. Don’t let struggles make you forget God’s faithfulness. Recall what He has done, give thanks, and keep pressing on.

Both Dr. and Mrs. Antonelli reflect on their six years at Elim Bible College, focusing on their personal journeys as well as the challenges they overcame while at Elim. They share personal stories, express gratitude, and offer encouragement and blessings to the students and community at EBC.

The speaker urges listeners to embrace spiritual strength by preparing during peaceful times, navigating life’s storms with faith, and ultimately learning to trust God fully. Using Jessica Watson’s sailing journey as an analogy, the message highlights resilience, preparation, and trust in God during adversity.

What would you do if you stopped holding back your faith? In this powerful message, Chris Ball shares personal stories, hard-earned wisdom, and a challenge to live with real courage, compassion, and commitment. Don’t miss this inspiring call to seize every opportunity and go further in your walk with God. This message will challenge you to step out boldly, trust God fully, and live with a faith that makes a real impact. It’s time to move beyond comfort and embrace the calling God has placed on your life.

What does it really mean to live in Christ beyond religious routines? This powerful message from Kaci and Anaji Powell calls believers into daily repentance, personal revival, and a deeper, more intentional walk with God—far beyond just religious activity. Learn how to recalibrate your heart, refocus your life on God, and reignite your faith from the inside out. It is an invitation to move from habit to transformation and experience a renewed passion for God in everyday life. 

Fred Antonelli shares a powerful message from John 1:4, revealing how Christ’s life and light can transform not just what you believe, but how you live each day. He challenges listeners to move beyond routine religion and step into a genuine, Spirit-led relationship with Christ.

This message invites you to reflect on whether you are truly walking in His light and encourages a deeper, more authentic faith. Be inspired to live boldly and shine with purpose in a world that needs His light.
