MS/HS Chapel

This year, our schoolwide theme will center on the word worthy, ultimately focusing on the worthiness of Christ and what it looks like to live a life in obedience to Him. There are many things surrounding us that the world wants to convince us are worthy of our affections, pursuit, time, and effort. There is a continual war being waged in the battleground of our minds to convince us that we should pursue our own wisdom or truth that “feels right” to us. Yet, we read the letter from Paul to the church in Colossae as he encourages them with these words:

And so, from the day we heard, we have not ceased to pray for you, asking that you may be filled with the knowledge of his will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding, so as to walk in a manner worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing to him: bearing fruit in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God; being strengthened with all power, according to his glorious might, for all endurance and patience with joy... (Colossians 1:9-11)

Each of us will ultimately deem something as being worthy of our hope and obedience. Our prayer for our students and school community this year is that we would root our hope in the truth of who Christ is and live in a manner worthy of the One who is truly worthy of all our obedience—Jesus.

As we walk through Chapels this year, we will continue to push back against the lies of the enemy and spend time learning more of the storyline of Scripture and what it looks like to find our ultimate value and purpose in who our Creator has called us to be.
