LWC Chapel Celebration Sermon: You Can Move Mountains Dr. Begley's sermon, given at Homecoming celebrating 20 years since the chapel was built and named in his honor, encourages 'faith as a grain of mustard seed' coupled with personal development to build self esteem and strength for leadership toward mountain moving. The text of his speech is shared in full below. By Dr. John B. Begley, Chancellor, Lindsey Wilson College YOU CAN MOVE MOUNTAINS -- Matthew 17: 14-21 The purpose of the Begley Chapel is to provide a peaceful place where you can let down the walls of your life, where you can relinquish and surrender control of your life to a God who will not abandon you, will not abuse you, will not judge you unfairly, but will love you, no matter what and forever. There are hundreds, if not thousands of Colleges and Universities with chapels or worship centers but I submit to you that you will not find one with a more compelling purpose than ours. I was so pleased when asked to participate in this 20th anniversary of the John B. Begley Chapel celebration. Having the chapel named in honor of me was not something I desired and it certainly wasn't something I deserved, but it means more to me than I could ever explain because of its purpose. It is a symbol of the importance of faith at Lindsey Wilson College. Article continues... click title or click here to read whole article. 2017-10-25 20:25:26 | Comments | Printable version
