The Chapel Quotes
“The way we organize our lives and the habits we have are perfectly designed to produce the results we are getting. If we want to see this community and this world change then we need to make sure the patterns and habits of our lives are leading us to Jesus. We are very much a product of our habits.”
“It is arguable that materialism is the single biggest competitor with authentic Christianity. Money will be something we leverage for eternal gain or we will worship as our God. Everything that we have is not ours. We are not entitled to the wealth that God has given us but we are entrusted with it. We are not owners but we are stewards. How can we leverage everything God gives us for His glory and His Kingdom? How you live your life, and your good deeds do not affect your final destination, but how you live your life is going to affect how you spend eternity. Leveraging our wealth in a way that will last forever means investing in people and the Gospel. Lord, help us treasure humility over status, generosity over security, contentment over enjoyment and trust over control.”

Devotion 01/04/2026
Our Devotion, “Born Wild” is by Ryan Dennison of South Lyon, Michigan, who studied professional writing at Taylor University in Upland, Indiana.
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: “Therefore let us leave the elementary teachings about Christ and go on to maturity, not laying again the foundation of repentance from acts that lead to death, and of faith in God.” Hebrews 6:1 (NIV)
There is something about utter helplessness that inspires compassion. When I was in high school my family found an infant kitten on the side of the road. He cried endlessly, could barely walk, and could hardly lap milk. But he was fluffy, big-eyed and dependent, so we took him home. That was our first mistake. The cat turned out to be a tyrant! He bit, pounced, and scratched anyone who came near, until we had to lock him inside the guest bedroom. Even then, he threw a fit whenever he was left alone. We regretted the day we brought that wildcat into our lives.
As Christians, we are often just like that kitten. God saves us from the world, and for a while, we are grateful. The problem is that we grow complacent, even demanding of God. We expect blessings and growth in our lives, but we are resistant to submitting to God’s will. We want Him to do the work, while we reap the rewards. As Christians, our growth comes through accepting and conforming to God’s plan for our lives, not forcing God to conform to ours.
PRAYER: Lord, don’t let me forget how You’ve blessed me. Give me a willing and servant heart, ready to do Your will.

Land of Silence
by Tessa Afshar
Tyndale House Publishers, PB, 390 pages
Ever since her brother died because of her thoughtlessness, Elianna, the daughter of a merchant in ancient Jerusalem, yearns for forgiveness and healing. When her father refuses to forgive her, she tries to work for her restoration by overseeing her father’s textile business. Years pass, but guilt gnaws at her. Because of her fears, she puts off her marriage to her beloved, leaving her need for forgiveness further out of reach. Although she finds relief from her troubles by producing creative and innovative garments, her success not only attracts a new clientele, but also the unwanted interests of a Roman commander.
Unfortunately, an unwanted kiss destroys her future. She chooses to shatter her own heart rather than put her family and the only man she has ever loved in danger. Death’s shadow strikes again, and she is forced to sell her father’s business – the only comfort she has ever known. When a bleeding sickness holds her in its grasp for twelve years, Elianna nearly gives up all hope and desire for life. Unclean and isolated, she craves a touch of love. Then she hears rumors of a man who casts out demons and heals the sick. She’s tried everything. But Elianna chooses to hope again and reaches out her hand to find forgiveness and healing.
Elianna and the other characters in this book are loveable and complex. You will laugh, cry, and celebrate with them. The writing is engaging, and the surprises will keep you flipping pages to find out what happens. This heartwarming tale entertains from cover to cover.
Although aimed for woman, anyone with a heart for biblical romance will enjoy this book. This novel will be a favorite among avid biblical fiction fans, who want a glimpse of what life was like when Jesus walked the earth.
Elianna’s search for restoration and forgiveness is one everyone can relate to. This book shows how God can use our darkest trials and hurts in our life for good. In our society, we seek superficial healing and slather ourselves in make-up to hide our deepest wounds, but no “quick fix” or cover-up can change the state of our soul. This book emphasizes Jesus’ ability to forgive our darkest secrets and heal those wounds.
