Watch Christian philosopher Jamie KA Smith discuss the biblical idea of what should drive us as human beings. Was Descartes right when he said, "I think, therefore I am." or is Smith right when he proposes that "I love, therefore I am."

Chapel Ministry

Our framework

We believe that humans are created by God to be primarily lovers not believers or thinkers. This belief is rooted in the truth that God is love. Humanity is driven by passions for the good life and visions of a good world. However, sin has come into humanity and corrupted our desires for what is good and beautiful. We believe that the ultimate love of humanity should be found in God and His ways.

Chapel Goals

In light of this, we believe the purpose of our chapels at Rosedale Bible College is to help shape and foster the desires of the student body. We believe our chapel times should present images of the good and beautiful life found in God and His kingdom. This means that preaching messages is not the climax of our chapel times together. It is part of the overall mission but it is not the mission of our chapels. The mission is bigger.
