Chapel recap

This week in chapel, Mr. Engle spoke on Galatians 5:16-25. He began by expanding on the history of the book, then dove into his message by connecting the Old Testament to the New Testament.

During his message Mr. Engle brought up pointers a lot. The first pointer he brought up was that the Exodus from Egypt points to our world. As he continued to talk about our world and the unkindness that has been shown, he brought up the idea of bringing shalom. This shalom is a type of ultimate peace--not the type of peace that would occur in the Middle East, but a kind that would take place in the hearts of God’s people.

Mr. Engle also addressed the law, and how the law is a flashlight that pointed out the flaws of the Israelites’ and points out people’s flaws today. This law points to the need for Christ and the need to be redeemed.        

Another pointer that Mr. Engle addressed was the idea of God being in a tabernacle. In the Old Testament this was the place of God’s dwelling, but with Christ, those who now follow and believe in Him are His tabernacles. Because the Holy Spirit is dwelling in them, they should be able to produce the fruits of the Spirit that are mentioned in Galatians 5:16-25.

Mr. Engle left the chapel by asking a few simple questions: Are you producing the fruits of the spirit, and are you experiencing God's shalom?
