The Chapel is a non-denominational Christian church in northern Illinois and southern Wisconsin welcoming people of all faiths, or of no faith background at all. Our hope is to help people everywhere come alive to God, an idea the Bible describes as revival. Revival is simply when any group of people, anywhere on earth, at any point in time reaches towards heaven in order to experience all of God, in all of them, for all the world. That’s us! Reaching towards heaven for more of God together. Regardless of who you are or where you’ve been, if you’re ready for more of God in your life, you’ve found a home at The Chapel.

God chose Saul to be king over Israel. The call on his life was clearly laid out before him. Yet, in 1 Samuel 10, it says that Saul was hiding among the supplies. Saul was called, gifted, anointed, encouraged, and still hiding. The voices from Saul’s past haunted him, causing him to believe he wasn’t qualified. It can be easy to read this story and wonder how Saul could hide, but the truth is we often do the same thing. We hide behind our history and what people think of us instead of listening to the voice of God. We assume God’s calling for our lives is about what we can do for him. But throughout scripture, we learn that calling flows out of who we are becoming as we spend time in God's presence. Your past and your insecurities don't hinder God. What you think disqualifies you could be what God uses to empower your ministry. The thing you want to forget or bypass could be the very thing God wants to use to set people free. So the question becomes, what call will you respond to? The voices all around you or the God above you?
