Judson University Chapel

How to Be Here

Get ready for episode 3 of our WHAT'S NEXT series. One day at a time. Many of us are used to planning months and weeks in advance. Jesus encourages us to think one day at a time. We look for God to provide daily. When we live day-by-day we don’t get spun up into the future and can live in the present, it’s the key to joy.

How to See the New

In the second episode of our Virtual Chapel program, the Chapel Worship Team leads us in a couple worship songs followed by teaching from Judson favorite Ian Simkins on the coming kingdom. This is a hopeful message on renewal and how we participate in it.
