What's your name?

At this week's chapel students watched a video from the Nooma series by Rob Bell. It asked the question: "What's your name?"
Bell said the answer to that question defines us, it's our identity.
"How much of our pain comes from not being able to answer that question?" said Bell. Yet many of us answer that question by comparing ourselves to others.
But Proverbs 14:30 says "A heart at peace gives life to the body, but envy rots the bones."
We will never have peace if we compare ourselves to others, he said. We each have our own body types and abilities and families and histories,and that's what we have to accept. We can't "live our lives as if it's a script written by others.
"You have your own path," he said.

Students were led in worship by members of a student praise team, who played "Beautiful One," "Indescribable" and "Blessed Redeemer."
