We Are Chapel

Are you just reading the Bible, or are you letting it read YOU? God's Word isn't meant to be a window for judging others, but a mirror that reveals our true selves. Many are forgiven but not truly free because they've never applied Scripture to their daily lives. Ready to move beyond surface-level faith? Discover how God's Word can cut through your defenses to bring deep healing while lighting your path forward. 

This message, rooted in 2 Timothy 2:15, urges believers to “study to show yourself approved,” contrasting screen-driven distraction and mental decay with the brain-healing, life-shaping power of Scripture. Your inner “operating system” (formed by culture, trauma, habits) must be reformatted by God’s Word so your first response is biblical, not emotional. Practically: read for context (verse → chapter → book → Testament → whole Bible), build a bridge to today (the Word is living and active), and get it into your heart, not just your head (Ps 119:9–11). Use simple tools—HEAR/SOAP (Highlight–Explain–Apply–Respond) and SPECK (Sin to confess, Promise to claim, Example to follow, Command to obey, Knowledge about God)—plus solid resources (ESV or Tony Evans Study Bible, Bible Project, NET Bible, Logos, Wiersbe’s “Be” series, “30 Days to Understand the Bible”). Challenge: pick one chapter this week, study it until it’s in you, and let God’s Spirit use it to transform your thinking, relationships, finances, and daily decisions—then respond in worship, prayer, and obedience.

In this message from Romans 12, we look squarely at the reality of evil in our world and hear a better call: the way of Jesus. Pastor unpacks a distinct kingdom ethos—genuine love, honor, perseverance, prayer, hospitality, and overcoming evil with good—showing how the gospel doesn’t just make us feel better; it makes us new and sends us to model a different kingdom in a broken culture. You’ll be challenged to move from demonizing and dehumanizing to loving God, loving one another, loving our neighbors, and even loving our enemies, trusting God with justice while we embody grace. Scripture: Romans 12:9–21 (with echoes of John 15, Isaiah 55, and Acts).

Kicking off The Final Word, this message from Psalm 19:7–11 calls us to treasure and trust Scripture—because God’s Word is inerrant, infallible, and inspired, reviving the soul, making the simple wise, and proving sweeter than honey. We trace how God has preserved His Word and why it must be our true north in a culture of shifting pictures, then get practical with simple rhythms to breathe it in daily: choose a readable translation, pick a time and place, and follow a plan (no legalism—just life). Join us as we move from merely owning a Bible to letting the Bible own our hearts.

What if your future is hidden in your friendships? Walking through Hebrews 10:19–25, we explore how real Christian community helps us draw near to God, hold fast to hope, and stir up love and good works. From Luke 4 prayer focus to Mark 2’s roof-ripping friends, this message calls us out of rows and into relationships that actually change us.

Dr. R.T. Kendall shares a powerful message on what it means to finish well in life and faith. Drawing from 2 Timothy 4, he unpacks ten timeless principles that help believers run their race with integrity, purity, and perseverance. From living under Scripture, to walking in forgiveness, to cultivating a strong prayer life, this teaching is both practical and deeply challenging. Dr. Kendall reminds us that finishing well isn’t something to think about only at the end of life—it’s a daily choice we begin now. Be encouraged and equipped to live in such a way that brings glory to God all the way to the finish line.

God often gives us dreams to draw us closer to Him, but too many times we focus more on the dream than on the One who holds it. In this episode, we’ll explore how breakthrough happens where God’s promise, God’s timing, and our preparation meet. Just like Joseph, your season of waiting isn’t wasted—it’s God’s way of shaping you for the fulfillment of the dream He’s placed in your heart.

we unpack the powerful story of Jesus’ resurrection from John 20. Mary Magdalene’s grief blinded her to the fact that Jesus was standing right beside her—just like how our pain can keep us from seeing His presence in our own lives. We explore the truth that before resurrection comes, something has to die, and that following Jesus means leaving some things behind. This isn’t just history—it’s a reminder that Jesus still calls us by name and still meets us in our hardest moments.

What if the next move of God isn’t coming from the front row — but the back? In this Sermon, Tyler Sterban speaks on how God is raising up unlikely disciples, the power of your testimony, and why your next step of faith might feel uncomfortable… but it’s exactly where God wants to use you. You don’t have to be perfect — just willing.

The greatest courtroom scene in history.

Imagine the Creator of the universe standing silent in a courtroom He Himself spoke into existence. In this episode, we walk through John 18 and witness Jesus—bound, accused, and rejected—not for His guilt, but for ours.

From false accusations to political maneuvering, religious hypocrisy to the fear of man, this trial reveals more than injustice—it reveals the heart of the gospel. Pilate tries to wash his hands of the truth. Peter denies out of fear. The crowd demands the release of a murderer. And Jesus, the innocent One, stands in their place—and in ours.

Key themes include:

• Why humility sometimes means staying silent in the face of accusation

• The danger of choosing dead religion over the living Christ

• How fear of people can silence even the boldest faith

• The tragedy of compromising eternal truth for cultural acceptance

• Why Jesus took the verdict we deserved

Bottom line:
The innocent was declared guilty so the guilty could be declared innocent.
