In this message, Chaplain Alex encourages us to ask one of life’s biggest questions: “What am I here for?” Drawing from stories of David, Mary, Joseph, and even modern-day examples, we’re reminded that no one is too young to live out their God-given purpose. The message challenges us to seek what God wants for our lives and to say yes to His plans for our future.

In this message, guest speaker Ps. Jesse Hendricks unpacks the story of Saul’s encounter with Jesus on the road to Damascus (Acts 9). Just as Saul’s perception of Christians and of God was completely transformed, we’re invited to “look again”—at others, at ourselves, and at God. Sometimes the way we see people, our own identity, or even who God is doesn’t line up with reality. This message challenges us to let God open our eyes and see things as they truly are.

In this episode, guest speaker Ed Surrey from CruWest shared the story of David and Goliath, reminding us that we’re not called to see ourselves as David trying to win battles in our own strength. Instead, the story points us to Jesus—the greater King—who has already won the victory over sin, death, and evil on our behalf.

In this chapel message, our chaplain Kyla uses the example of the lyrebird’s mimicry to ask a simple but important question: who are you imitating? Drawing from Ephesians 5 and 1 John, she encourages us to think about how closely we’re walking with Jesus, and how that shapes the way we speak, act, and treat others.

Mr. Lamont returns to reflect on the theme of direction and now builds on it by exploring the idea of perception.
