In this IBC chapel message, Sister Niki Turner ministers a thoughtful and searching word titled “The Pendulum of the Heart.” Through Scripture and personal application, she addresses the condition of the heart and the spiritual tendency to drift between sensitivity and resistance to the voice of God. Sister Turner serves alongside her husband as campus pastors at Indiana Bible College. Drawing from passages such as Ezekiel 12:2, Jeremiah 5:21, Jeremiah 25:3–4, and Isaiah 6:10, she highlights a recurring biblical theme: people who had eyes but would not see, ears but would not hear, and hearts that had grown dull to God’s calling. This message calls listeners to examine where the pendulum of their own heart rests—to move beyond inconsistency, spiritual numbness, and divided affection, and instead cultivate a heart that remains responsive to the Lord. Key Themes: The condition of the heart Spiritual sensitivity and responsiveness Guarding against drift and dullness Hearing and obeying the voice of God We pray this chapel message challenges you to keep your heart sensitive before God and fully aligned with His purpose.

In this Pastor’s Day Chapel message, Rev. Josh Carson preaches “A Grove in Beersheba,” drawing from Genesis 21:30–33. Reflecting on the covenant between Abraham and Abimelech, President Carson highlights the significance of Abraham planting a grove in Beersheba—an act not of compromise, but of worship and remembrance. While groves later appear in Scripture associated with pagan practices, this moment reveals their original intent as a testimony to God’s faithfulness. Rev. Josh Carson uses this contrast to deliver a timely message on the importance of preserving the purity of what has been handed down through generations. As President of Indiana Bible College, Rev. Josh Carson challenges listeners to recognize that while methods and generations may change, the message must remain constant. He warns of the subtle drift that can occur when foundational beliefs and practices are reinterpreted or dismantled over time. At the heart of the message is this defining statement: “We may have a new generation, but we do not have a new message.” Key Themes: The importance of spiritual remembrance Honoring the intent of those who have gone before Guarding against generational drift Preserving truth in changing times We pray this message strengthens your commitment to truth and encourages you to faithfully steward the legacy of faith entrusted to your generation.

The interaction shows that effective ministry often begins not with dramatic moments, but with meaningful connection. Summarizing the heart of the message, Rev. Franklin states: “Ministry isn't about title or a position. It's about influence, and influence is built through relationship.” Key Themes: The ministry of presence Loving people through pain and struggle Building influence through relationship Lessons from Jesus and the Samaritan woman We pray this chapel message encourages you to engage others with compassion and to recognize the power of faithful, relational ministry.

In this message from the Chase Marshall Invitational Bible Quiz Youth Service, Justin Reinking teaches on “Sufficiency of Scripture.” Speaking to Bible Quizzers, Reinking emphasizes the enduring authority and reliability of God’s Word as the foundation for truth, guidance, and life. As Executive Vice President of Indiana Bible College, Reinking presents a clear and compelling case for the power of Scripture, organizing the message around three key statements: Scripture is sufficient because it is God-given. Scripture is sufficient because it is useful. No matter the question, His Word has the answer. Drawing from passages including 2 Timothy 3:16–17, Proverbs 3:5–6, John 15:12–14, Psalm 119:9, Romans 6:23, and Acts 2:38, the message highlights how Scripture speaks to every area of life—from salvation and obedience to wisdom and daily direction.

He has given us His Word and it still speaks to us today.” Key Themes: The authority and reliability of Scripture The practical usefulness of God’s Word Finding direction for life in the Bible Trusting Scripture to answer life’s questions We pray this message encourages you to trust the sufficiency of Scripture and to build your life on the Truth of God’s Word.

In this Indiana Bible College chapel message, Rev. David G. Brown teaches on “How To Live A Productive Life.” Addressing questions that many young people wrestle with—Who am I? Where am I going? What am I supposed to do?—he points listeners to the foundation of a life anchored in God. Rev. Brown has served Indiana Bible College faithfully for many years in a variety of roles and now serves as the Director of Library Services. Drawing from passages such as Proverbs 1:7, Zechariah 1:1–4, and Jeremiah 15:6, he reflects on the pattern seen throughout the Old Testament when Israel turned away from God and experienced the consequences of that decision. Through these scriptures, the message highlights the importance of reverence for God, obedience to His word, and a life aligned with His purpose. Rev. Brown brings the central idea of the message into clear focus with a simple but powerful statement: “You want to know how to live a productive life… live for God.” Key Themes: Identity and purpose Direction for life and calling The importance of fearing the Lord Lessons from Israel’s turning away from God We pray this chapel message encourages you to seek God first and to build a life that is truly productive in His kingdom.

In this Preview Weekend Chapel message, Rev. Josh Carson preaches a sobering and visionary sermon titled “The Problem with Pisgah.” Drawing from Deuteronomy’s account of Moses viewing the Promise Land from Mount Pisgah, Pastor Carson challenges listeners to consider the cost of unrealized promise. As President of Indiana Bible College and Pastor of Calvary Tabernacle, Rev. Carson speaks with pastoral conviction and apostolic clarity. Reflecting on Moses’ final vantage point, he delivers a striking reminder: “The problem with Pisgah is it only shows you what could have been.” This message calls students and Previewers to move beyond proximity to promise and into full obedience, faithfulness, and completion of God’s calling. Pisgah represents vision without possession—a glimpse without inheritance. The charge is clear: do not settle for seeing what might have been when God intends fulfillment. Key Themes: Obedience and its eternal consequences Vision versus possession Faithfulness to God’s calling Finishing well We pray this message challenges you to pursue the fullness of God’s promise and to live in such a way that you never have to stand at your own Pisgah.

In this chapel message, Reverend Luke St.Clair delivers a powerful sermon titled “The Office of Eleazar.” Drawing from the Old Testament account of Eleazar, Pastor St.Clair highlights the sacred responsibility entrusted to believers—overseeing the oil that fueled the golden lampstand in the tabernacle.

He emphasizes that the oil represents the anointing of the Holy Spirit and challenges listeners to faithfully steward what God has entrusted to them. This message calls listeners to recognize the weight and privilege of spiritual responsibility—to guard the anointing, maintain spiritual discipline, and ensure that the light never goes out. Key Themes: Spiritual stewardship and responsibility The oil and the Holy Spirit Faithfulness in sacred assignments Preserving the anointing We pray this chapel message strengthens your commitment to steward the presence and power of God in your life and ministry.

In this chapel message, Rev. William Turner brings a compelling word titled “Jacob or Israel?” Drawing from the life of Jacob, Turner explores the tension between our old identity and the new name and calling God gives us.

Turner speaks from both biblical insight and lived experience, challenging listeners to consider where they may still be living as “Jacob” instead of stepping fully into “Israel.” This message invites students and leaders alike to reflect on transformation, surrender, and the faithfulness of God in shaping identity and purpose.
