Do you know what love is? There are multitudes of definitions floating around, so which one do you believe? Our best bet is to take it from the greatest authority of all: Jesus. In today's chapel message, NEBC professor Jared August looks to John 13 and 14 on how Christ gives a new definition of love, and what that definition means for us.

Christianity requires vigilance. We're called to a high standard, of how we live our lives each day. But what does that look like in practice? In today's chapel message, NEBC professor Alan Ingalls examines Paul's words in 1 Corinthians 16:13-14, as the Apostle teaches what a vigilant Christian life looks like.

How do we follow God when it seems impossible? When life gives us obstacles we don't know how to overcome, it's easy to lose faith in God's promises; but we have a trustworthy God who never fails. In today's chapel message, NEBC professor Dave Bentley looks to Numbers 14 and the life of Caleb, who saw impossible odds but followed God faithfully nonetheless.

It's all too easy to try and rely on ourselves or other people to meet our needs. Unfortunately, those will never be enough; fortunately, we have a God who can provide everything. In today's chapel message, NEBC professor Michael McDill turns to Matthew 7:7-12, teaching why asking God for our needs is the best option of all.

We all have struggles, needs, and fears. How should we handle them in a Godly way? In today's chapel message, President Mark Ballard uses Abraham's example in Genesis 12 to show both how to and how not to handle adversity that life brings our way.

Today, the gospel itself is at stake. The world becomes more hostile to it by the day. The worst threats, though, may not come from the secular world; those proclaiming a corrupted gospel are arguably even worse. In today's chapel message, Dr. Lee Williams uses John's words in 1 John 4 to describe the dangers of false teachers in the church, and what we can do to combat them.

We all have a God-given purpose. We have talents and treasures we can and should use for His purpose and kingdom. But what happens when we stray from the path? In today's chapel message, Dr. Brian Harmon uses the story of Sampson in Judges 13 to show the dangers of dividing our purpose, leading to spiritual powerlessness and a wasted life.

We're called to be a lot of things as Christians. It can seem daunting to deny our fleshly ways and do as God asks of us; the good news is we don't have to do it in our own strength. In today's final chapel of the year, President Mark Ballard looks to Galatians 5 on how we can only be sinful on our own, but can be righteous through the Spirit working through and empowering us.

Joy is one of our callings as Christians. It's not always easy, but nonetheless we always have the means to have joy no matter the circumstance. In today's chapel message, Joe Wooddell looks to Paul's words in Philippians 4:4-9 on how and why to be joyful, in all things and at all times.

John was one of the great theologians of Scripture, with his 5 books containing some of the deepest insights into the gospel and the truth. A great example is his description of the Christian life in 1 John, asking 5 "if" statements about how we live. In today's chapel message, Richard Henry explores these statements on what they mean if they are true, for us in our walk with Christ.
