Ryan Franklin delivers a thoughtful sermon titled “No Miracle Required.” Centered on the ministry of presence, the message explores the power of simply being present with people and loving them through their pain, questions, and struggles.

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 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.
