The story of Israel and Judah is filled with both tragedy and hope. For each time they came to destruction for their actions, God remained with them and restored them. In today's chapel message, Dr. Alan Ingalls looks to Jeremiah on Israel and Judah's cycle of destruction and restoration, and what we can learn from it.

Pride and love can't exist together. Pride leads to selfishness, arrogance, judgement, and hate; all of these run against how Paul describes love in 1 Corinthians 13. In today's chapel message, NEBC professor Dr. Michael McDill looks to Paul's words to define how we should love, running from pride each and every day.

In the greatest sermon ever told, the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus covers a wide range of subjects crucial to the Christian life. He gives instruction, encouragement, and, in the final verses, warnings to His listeners. In today's chapel message, President Ballard elaborates on three of these warnings: beware the fatal path, beware false prophets, and beware the false profession of faith. 

One of our greatest callings in life—if not the greatest—is to love God with all our hearts. But how do we do that to the best of our ability? The key, simply, is to understand God's love for us. In today's chapel message, President Ballard takes us through what it truly means to love God, in the what, the how, and the why.

It's easy to fall to despair. Life can do its best to rob you of your hope and joy, and leave you not knowing how to make it tomorrow. The good news, though, is we have a God Who can carry us through. In today's chapel message, NEBC alum pastor Michael Carrel looks at Psalm 13 on what we can do when despair strikes, having faith in the truth of our faithful God.

Life takes endurance. The world has a way of throwing the difficult, the unexpected, and the unwanted our way. What do we do, then, when it seems more that we can bear? Pastor Josh Bradbury gives the answer from Paul's words in 2 Tim 2:8-13, on the hope we have in Christ that carries us through.

God has a habit of doing the unexpected. He works in truly mysterious ways, accomplishing His goals through ways that, frankly, make no earthly sense. But good news, His sense is far greater than ours. In today's chapel message, NEBC professor Jared August looks to Paul in 1 Corinthians 1 on how God does the seemingly nonsensical through the unexpected and difficult, even beyond our comprehension.

Life gets lonely at times. We all face moments or seasons of feeling isolated, where we long for deep, meaningful connections with others. When that happens, what do we do? In today's chapel message, NEBC professor Dr. George Sweet compares the lives of Jonah and Paul to show how we should face loneliness when it strikes, by loving God and others in new, deeper ways.

How do you want to finish? When the day comes when you finally meet Jesus face to face, what legacy do you want to leave behind? In today's chapel message, president Mark Ballard looks to Paul in Acts 16 on how we can persevere each day, praising God and doing His work to the very end.

What is your priority? In the busyness of life, it's easy to spread ourselves too thin and lose focus. When that happens, we run the risk of prioritizing things that, ultimately, do not matter. In today's chapel message, Pastor Javier Chaves looks to Philippians 3 to remind us that we have one thing we should do no matter what: devote ourselves to Christ.
