To Love Mercy
Message of the Day. Part 2 of 3 in series "Does the Lord Require Perfection of You?" Inspired by Micah 6:8, this is Part 2 of this series. Today's topic is: To love mercy. A message about the importance of loving mercy, and how without goodness, love, faith and charity, one cannot truly forgive, and therefore have mercy on others. The Bible says that the mercy of the Lord is from everlasting to everlasting upon those who fear Him (Psalm 103:17). And also we are asked to be merciful like our Father in heaven is merciful (Luke 6:36). From YouTube video: https://youtu.be/FS7fXjDG770 | By Rev. Jean Atta | Phoenix, AZ

Does the Lord Require Perfection? Part 1
Message of the Day. What do you think the Lord requires of you? This message is about what is required of us as Christians. In the Gospel of Matthew 11:28-30, the Lord says: “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest..." Obviously the Lord wants us to get rest and to be at peace; for He is called the Prince of Peace. So what does the Lord require of us? | By Rev. Jean Atta | Phoenix, AZ

When We Think the Lord is Absent
This chapel message is about how sometimes, though the Lord is present, we feel like He is absent. Most of the time we feel that way because of what is going on in our own life. Maybe we are in pain, and hoping for a miracle to happen, and we are not seeing anything yet. Maybe we have the COVID-19 virus and we wonder why the Lord didn’t prevent it from happening to us. Maybe we are fighting a huge battle and we feel like the Lord is totally absent. And the list goes on! Yet we are reminded in the Word of God that we are not alone. In fact the Lord has always been there, and He will always be there for us. So why don’t we feel His presence in those moments?
