Y’all Are the Light of the World
Hey y’all. I say and type y’all so much that my phone predicts it and autocorrects it if I spell it wrong. I said y’all when I lived in Missouri . . . it just became more socially acceptable when I moved to Texas. I’m not totally sure how “y’all” is received in Florida, but I’m excited to find out.

The Pursuit of More
We are people who generally want more. Time. Money. Influence. Power. In Genesis, we see Adam and Eve created in the image of God. They are like God, made by God, and have the breath of God in them.

Authority and Egypt
It’s funny what we let control us. We think we know what is good for us, but if we aren’t careful, we will give authority over ourselves away.

The Chapel’s Vision, Meaning & Strategy
Dear Friends of the Chapel at Seaside, On Sunday, July 26, immediately following the Chapel’s worship service, the Chapel Board presented the results of their July 9–10 strategy planning session.
