Building God's Way According to Ezra & Nehemiah, Pt. 5God Gave Us ProphetsEzra 5:1-5, 6:13-22 | King's Chapel Live StreamSometimes we get so focused on our own lives that we lose sight of what matters most.In Ezra 5 and 6, God's people had begun rebuilding the temple, but God used prophets like Haggai and Zechariah to call them back to what mattered. They needed to realign their priorities, soften their hearts, and find the strength to keep going.God's message through His prophets was simple: Consider your ways. Return to Me.We need that reminder too. Our priorities can drift. Our hearts can grow hard. And sometimes we try to accomplish what God has called us to do by our own strength.But God doesn't simply tell us to try harder. He calls us back to Himself and strengthens us by His Spirit.In this message from Ezra 5 and 6, we look at why God gave His people prophets and what their message means for us today.Connect with King's Chapel in Longwood, FL - ▶️ www.kingschapelfl.com▶️ https://www.facebook.com/KingsChapelfl▶️ https://www.instagram.com/kingschapelfl/For the GLORY of our Great GodFor the GOOD of our NeighborGod gave us prophets, Ezra 5, Ezra 6, Ezra and Nehemiah, Building God's Way, consider your ways, God calls us back, return to God, putting God first, Christian priorities, trusting God, God's Spirit, not by might nor by power, Haggai, Zechariah, prophets in the Bible, Christian sermon, Bible sermon, Jesus, Gospel, following Jesus, Christian faith, Christian living, Longwood FL church, Longwood Florida church, King's Chapel

Building God's Way According to Ezra & Nehemiah, Pt. 4God Has AdversariesEzra 4:1-6, Neh. 4:1-9 | King's Chapel Live StreamWhat do you do when following God gets harder than you expected?In Ezra 4 and Nehemiah 4, God's people face opposition from people both inside and outside the community. They're pressured, frustrated, confused, and tempted to become afraid.But opposition doesn't mean God has abandoned His people.God protects His people, and ultimately, He defeats every enemy. For Christians, that hope points us to Jesus, who has already conquered sin, death, and the greatest enemy we could ever face.If you've ever wondered what to do when doing the right thing gets hard, this message is for you.Connect with King's Chapel in Longwood, FL - ▶️ www.kingschapelfl.com▶️ https://www.facebook.com/KingsChapelfl▶️ https://www.instagram.com/kingschapelfl/For the GLORY of our Great GodFor the GOOD of our NeighborEzra 4, Nehemiah 4, Ezra and Nehemiah, Building God's Way, God's Adversaries, Christian sermon, Bible sermon, opposition as a Christian, when doing the right thing gets hard, facing opposition, Christian encouragement, trusting God, God protects His people, God's protection, spiritual opposition, Christian faith, following God, trusting God in difficult times, Jesus, Gospel, Christian living, Longwood FL church, Longwood Florida church, King's Chapel

Building God's Way According to Ezra & Nehemiah, Pt. 3God Has a PriorityEzra 3:1-13 | King's Chapel Live StreamAs God's people return to Jerusalem in Ezra 3, they have a lot to rebuild. But before they rebuild the temple, they build an altar.Why?Because God's priority is His worship and His glory.In this message from *Building God's Way According to Ezra & Nehemiah*, we see how Ezra 3 points us to a greater reality: worship isn't something we fit into our lives after everything else is taken care of. God Himself is our priority.The altar points us to the sacrifice God provided through Jesus. The temple points us to God's desire to dwell with His people, ultimately fulfilled through Christ and the Holy Spirit. And the joyful shouts and weeping of God's people remind us that our worship exists in the tension of the "now and not yet," as we look forward to the day when God will dwell with His people forever.If we're going to build our lives, our church, and our community God's way, we have to begin with what matters most: **God's glory and our worship of Him.**Connect with King's Chapel in Longwood, FL - ▶️ www.kingschapelfl.com▶️ https://www.facebook.com/KingsChapelfl▶️ https://www.instagram.com/kingschapelfl/For the GLORY of our Great GodFor the GOOD of our NeighborEzra 3 sermon, Ezra 3, Building God's Way, God has a priority, worship comes first, worship sermon, God's glory, Ezra and Nehemiah sermon series, Christian worship, Jesus sacrifice, Holy Spirit temple, God's presence, King's Chapel Longwood

What happens when a teacher follows her curiosity far beyond the classroom?In this episode of Longwood GradCast: Beyond the Degree, host Dr. Sarah Tanner Anderson talks with Dr. Becky Schnesker (B.S.'05, M.S.'06), a double Longwood alumna whose career has taken her from the classroom to the Amazon Rainforest, Antarctica and beyond.Becky is an educator, National Geographic educator and explorer, author, school founder and assistant professor of education. But at the heart of her story is something much simpler: curiosity, and the people who encouraged her to follow it.Becky reflects on how her Longwood experience shaped her as both an educator and a lifelong learner, including the professors and mentors who saw possibilities in her before she could see them herself. One handwritten note from a professor describing one of her assignments as "PhD caliber material" stayed with her for years.She also shares how a desire to rethink education led her to help open a tuition-free school, write Expedition Science, and take elementary students beyond traditional classroom walls. A chance conference conversation, a Twitter message and a grant application eventually opened the door to an expedition to the Amazon, followed by experiences in the Galapagos, Iceland and Antarctica.Now preparing the next generation of teachers, Becky continues to challenge conventional ideas about what education can be and what students are capable of.In this episode, Becky talks about:The Longwood professors and mentors who changed the direction of her lifeWhy curiosity can be a powerful foundation for learningHow she took elementary students' learning beyond the classroomThe unexpected path from a conference conversation to the Amazon RainforestWhat exploring the world has taught her about teachingWhy she believes ideas should never be "too weird or too big"Bringing her Longwood experience full circle by mentoring future educators

Building God's Way According to Ezra & Nehemiah, Pt. 2God Has a PeopleEzra 2 | King's Chapel Live StreamAs we continue Building God's Way According to Ezra & Nehemiah, Ezra 2 reminds us that God's work is never about an anonymous crowd. God has a people. He knows them by name, gathers them by family, and knows them by number.But God's people are not simply gathered together without purpose. Throughout Scripture, God's people follow a pattern of exile, exodus, wilderness, and promised land. Their story points forward to God's greater purpose of building His kingdom and ultimately to Jesus, the righteous Branch from David.In this message, we look at three truths about God's people:God has a people who are known by Him.God's people have a pattern shaped by His redemptive work.God's people have a purpose: to build God's Kingdom as we look to Jesus, our true King.As we build our lives, our church, and our community God's way, we can rest in this truth: we belong to a God who knows His people, gathers His people, and gives His people a purpose.Connect with King's Chapel in Longwood, FL - ▶️ www.kingschapelfl.com▶️ https://www.facebook.com/KingsChapelfl▶️ https://www.instagram.com/kingschapelfl/For the GLORY of our Great GodFor the GOOD of our NeighborEzra 2 sermon, Ezra and Nehemiah sermon series, Building God's Way, God's people, God knows you, Christian identity, purpose of God's people, Ezra sermon, Jesus righteous branch, God's kingdom, Christian sermon, King's Chapel Longwood FL

Building God's Way According to Ezra & Nehemiah, Pt. 1God's Powerful PlanEzra 1, Isaiah 44:24-45:7 | King's Chapel Live StreamWhat happens when God sets a plan in motion?The opening chapter of Ezra reminds us that God's plans are far bigger than we can see, yet He graciously invites His people to be part of what He is doing. When God determined to bring His people back to Jerusalem and rebuild the temple, He made a way for His purposes to be accomplished.In this message, we see three powerful truths about God's plan.God's plan includes anyone and everyone. His purposes reach beyond what we might expect, and He can accomplish His will through people and circumstances we never would have chosen.God stirs the heart. God moved the heart of King Cyrus, and He also stirred the hearts of His people to respond. What God calls us to do, He is able to move us toward through His Spirit.God provides the resources. From unexpected sources and through His own people, God provided precisely what was needed for the work ahead.As we begin our series through Ezra and Nehemiah, this passage reminds us that building God's way begins with trusting God's powerful plan. We may not know every detail of what He is doing, but we can trust the God who does.Connect with King's Chapel in Longwood, FL - ▶️ www.kingschapelfl.com▶️ https://www.facebook.com/KingsChapelfl▶️ https://www.instagram.com/kingschapelfl/For the GLORY of our Great GodFor the GOOD of our NeighborEzra 1 sermon, God's plan sermon, Ezra and Nehemiah sermon series, building God's way, trusting God's plan, God provides sermon, God stirs hearts, King Cyrus Ezra, Isaiah 44 sermon, King's Chapel Longwood FL

The Blessed Life According to the Son | Part 6Blessed are the MissionalMatthew 4:17, 23-25, 5:1-16 | King's Chapel Live StreamWhat does it mean to live as a citizen of God's Kingdom?Jesus doesn't simply tell His followers to try harder or do more. He tells them who they already are."You are the salt of the earth.""You are the light of the world."In this message from the Sermon on the Mount, we conclude our Beatitudes series by discovering that every follower of Christ has been called to live on mission. Because we belong to Jesus, we are sent into the world to preserve what is good, point people to the truth, and reflect the light of Christ wherever He has placed us.Our mission is not to draw attention to ourselves. Jesus tells us to let our light shine so that others may see our good works and give glory to our Father in heaven.At King's Chapel, we summarize this calling in two simple phrases:For the GLORY of our Great God.For the GOOD of our Neighbor.If you have ever wondered how to faithfully represent Christ in your home, workplace, neighborhood, or community, this message is an encouraging reminder that God has already made you salt and light through the Gospel. Now, go and live on mission for His glory.Connect with King's Chapel in Longwood, FL - ▶️ www.kingschapelfl.com▶️ https://www.facebook.com/KingsChapelfl▶️ https://www.instagram.com/kingschapelfl/For the GLORY of our Great GodFor the GOOD of our NeighborMatthew 5:13-16 sermon, salt and light sermon, Sermon on the Mount, Christian mission, live on mission, light of the world Bible, Gospel-centered living, Great Commission sermon, King's Chapel Longwood FL

The Blessed Life According to the Son | Part 5Blessed are the Persecuted PeacemakersMatthew 4:17, 23-25, 5:1-12 | King's Chapel Live StreamWhat does it mean to live as a citizen of the Kingdom of Heaven?Jesus says that peacemakers are blessed because they will be called sons of God. As members of God's family, we are invited to share in His family business by seeking peace with God, peace with our neighbors, and peace within our communities. Peacemaking is not passive. It is a Gospel-shaped way of living that reflects the character of our heavenly Father.Jesus also tells His followers that those who are persecuted because of Him are blessed. Their reward is not found in comfort or approval from the world, but in the Kingdom of Heaven. Even when following Christ brings opposition, rejection, or hardship, Jesus calls His people to rejoice and be glad because their reward is great and they are in the company of faithful believers who have gone before them.In this message, we see that the blessed life is not always an easy life. It is a life rooted in Christ, marked by peacemaking, and strengthened by the hope of God's Kingdom.If you are trying to follow Jesus faithfully in a divided world, this message will encourage you to pursue peace with courage and to trust that your labor in the Lord is not in vain.Connect with King's Chapel in Longwood, FL - ▶️ www.kingschapelfl.com▶️ https://www.facebook.com/KingsChapelfl▶️ https://www.instagram.com/kingschapelfl/For the GLORY of our Great GodFor the GOOD of our NeighborMatthew 5:9-12 sermon, blessed are the peacemakers, persecution for Christ sermon, Sermon on the Mount, Beatitudes explained, Christian peacemaking, Kingdom of Heaven sermon, following Jesus faithfully, King's Chapel Longwood FL

When most people picture Jesus, they imagine someone serious, quiet, and almost untouchable. But is that really the Jesus we meet in the Gospels? In this message, we'll take a fresh look at Scripture and discover a side of Jesus that many of us have overlooked. From His vivid illustrations and exaggerated word pictures to His wit, irony, and joyful personality, Jesus wasn't a comedian—but He was far more relatable than many people realize. We'll explore passages like John 15, Matthew 7, Mark 7, Luke 15, and Mark 10 to see how Jesus used humor to communicate profound truth and why children, sinners, and ordinary people were so drawn to Him. The more fully we understand the humanity of Jesus, the more deeply we'll appreciate His divinity.

The Blessed Life According to the Son | Part 4Blessed are the Merciful and PureMatthew 4:17, 23-25, 5:1-8 | King's Chapel Live StreamWhat does a life transformed by the Gospel actually look like?As Jesus continues the Beatitudes, He reminds us that the blessed life is not something we earn. It is the life that grows in those who have already been made citizens of the Kingdom of Heaven through Christ.Because we have received God's mercy, we become people who show mercy. Because Christ has given us a new heart, we begin to live with an undivided devotion to Him.In this message, we explore what it means to be merciful toward those who are hurting, broken, and in need. Just as the Good Samaritan showed compassion to a stranger, Christians are called to reflect the mercy of Jesus by restoring dignity, extending kindness, and pointing others to the hope found in Christ.We also consider what Jesus means when He says, "Blessed are the pure in heart." A pure heart is not a perfect heart. It is a heart that has been made new by God's grace and is wholly devoted to Him. Through Christ, God replaces our hearts of stone with hearts that desire Him above everything else.The Beatitudes are not a list of qualifications for entering God's Kingdom. They are the beautiful evidence of what God is doing in the lives of those He has already redeemed.If you long to become more like Christ and to reflect His mercy in a divided world, this message points us back to the transforming power of the Gospel.Connect with King's Chapel in Longwood, FL - ▶️ www.kingschapelfl.com▶️ https://www.facebook.com/KingsChapelfl▶️ https://www.instagram.com/kingschapelfl/For the GLORY of our Great GodFor the GOOD of our NeighborMatthew 5:7-8 sermon, blessed are the merciful, blessed are the pure in heart, Sermon on the Mount, Beatitudes explained, mercy in the Bible, pure in heart meaning, Good Samaritan sermon, Christian discipleship, King's Chapel Longwood FL

"I didn't get to Dad's until 12:30am Friday. I'll never forget coming over the hill I've been coming over my whole life to home and seeing the area glowing. The whole horizon wasred. It was like an apocalypse."VicNoTill board member Callum Lawson and his partner, large-animal veterinarian Lyndall Barwick, were on the frontline of the Longwood bushfire in Victoria that started on January 7, 2026. This fire burnt over 140,000 hectares. Callum manages ‘Allanvale' at Avenel and his family farm is at Highlands, about 45 minutes southeast. Callum and Lyndall did everything they could to create firebreaks and protect livestock at ‘Allanvale' in catastrophic conditions before making an emergency dash to Highlands to help save the family farm. Seven months on, Michael Gooden catches up with Callum about the steps he's taken to restore and repair burnt soils, and rebuild his regenerative grazing system using tools such as natural sequence farming, virtual fencing, applying foliars, stimulating his underground biology and just sitting back patiently letting his landscape rest and recover as his soils rebuild themselves. A huge thank you to Callum for his generosity in sharing his story and for the time he's put into sharing his knowledge and experience to help others. Farmers helping farmers is what it's all about.

How does a young girl inspired by exceptional teachers grow into a literacy leader who is now shaping the next generation of students and educators?In this inspiring episode of Longwood GradCast: Beyond the Degree, host Dr. Sarah Tanner Anderson sits down with Madison Lewis (B.S. '19, M.Ed. '20), a double Longwood alumna completing the Reading, Literacy, and Learning program at Longwood, kindergarten teacher, mentor, and advocate for literacy, to explore a journey rooted in relationships, curiosity, and a deep commitment to helping others succeed.From childhood teachers who helped her rediscover confidence and a love of learning to professors, mentors, and colleagues who continue to challenge and support her today, Madison's story is a powerful testament to the lasting influence of people who show up at exactly the right moment.Having dreamed of attending Longwood since she was a teenager, Madison reflects on how the university became a place where she found connection, leadership opportunities, and lifelong friendships. Through experiences as a Longwood Ambassador, Honors College student, student leader, study abroad participant, and graduate student in Reading, Literacy, and Learning, she discovered that the most meaningful lessons often happen outside the classroom.Now teaching in Cumberland County, Madison is carrying those lessons forward. Whether she's helping kindergarten students learn to read, partnering with families, mentoring future educators, or supporting colleagues, she approaches every interaction with the same philosophy that shaped her own journey: every person deserves to feel seen, valued, and understood.Throughout the conversation, Madison shares how influential educators such as Linda Moore, Dr. Dorothy Cosby, Dr. Wendy Snow, and many others helped shape her career and sense of purpose. She also reflects on the supportive community she found at Longwood and the network of mentors, family members, colleagues, and fellow alumni who continue to guide her today.As both a mentor and mentee, Madison demonstrates how meaningful relationships create ripple effects that extend far beyond a single classroom, school, or degree.In this episode, listeners will explore:How one elementary teacher changed the course of Madison's life and inspired her calling to educationWhy Longwood felt like home from the very beginningThe power of storytelling, leadership, and community-building on campusLessons learned from stepping far outside her comfort zone during a study abroad experienceHow the Reading, Literacy, and Learning program prepared her to become a literacy leaderThe evolution of the science of reading and its impact on today's classroomsWhy mentoring future educators has become one of the most rewarding parts of her careerHow strong relationships with families, colleagues, and students create lasting impactWhat it means to be a "group project" and how the people around us shape who we becomeMadison's story perfectly captures the heart of Season 3 by reminding us that success is never achieved alone. From the teachers who first believed in her to the students she now serves, her journey illustrates how encouragement, mentorship, and authentic human connection can transform lives for generations."Thank you, but Madison was a group project." — Tracy LewisSubscribe to Longwood GradCast: Beyond the Degree to hear more stories of alumni whose lives and careers demonstrate the enduring power of people, connection, and opportunity.

True Comfort Comes Only by Him | Part 2Exchanging the Control We Crave for the Sovereign God We TrustGenesis 50:15-21 | King's Chapel Live StreamWhy is it so hard to let go of control?Even after our guilt has been dealt with, we often cling to the belief that peace comes from managing every outcome. We want to know how the story ends before we're willing to trust God with the next chapter.In Genesis 50, Joseph asks a simple but profound question: "Am I in the place of God?" Those words remind us that true comfort is not found in controlling our circumstances but in trusting the God who is sovereign over them.Through betrayal, false accusations, imprisonment, and years of waiting, Joseph learned that God's purposes are always greater than our plans. His life points us to Jesus, who willingly entered into suffering to accomplish our redemption and demonstrate the Father's perfect love.God's sovereignty is never separate from His goodness. The God who rules over every detail of history is the same God who gave His Son for us. If He can be trusted with our salvation, He can be trusted with every detail of our lives.Following Christ doesn't mean life will always make sense. It means we can live with confidence that the God who writes our story is perfectly wise, perfectly loving, and perfectly faithful.If you're struggling to surrender control, facing uncertainty, or wondering what God is doing in your life, this message is an invitation to find true rest in the God who is still writing your story.Connect with King's Chapel in Longwood, FL - ▶️ www.kingschapelfl.com▶️ https://www.facebook.com/KingsChapelfl▶️ https://www.instagram.com/kingschapelfl/For the GLORY of our Great GodFor the GOOD of our NeighborGenesis 50 sermon, trusting God's sovereignty, letting go of control, Joseph sermon, God is in control Bible, finding peace in uncertainty, Christian sermon on trust, Genesis Bible study, King's Chapel Longwood FL

True Comfort Comes Only by Him | Part 1Exchanging the Guilt That Drives Us for the Grace That Frees UsGenesis 50:15-21 | King's Chapel Live StreamWhat do you do when your past won't stop haunting you?Even after seventeen years of kindness from Joseph, his brothers still lived under the weight of guilt. When their father Jacob died, they feared Joseph would finally take revenge. Their circumstances had changed, but their guilty consciences had not.In this message from Genesis 50, we see how unresolved guilt gives birth to fear, and fear drives us into hiding. Like Joseph's brothers, we often know God's promises but struggle to believe His grace is really for us.The good news is that God does not expose our guilt to shame us. He exposes it so He can free us. Joseph cared for his brothers, but only Jesus, the greater Joseph, can remove our guilt completely.At the cross, Christ took our sin upon Himself and bore the judgment we deserved. Guilt tells us we will never be enough, but Jesus declares that His grace is sufficient. True comfort is not found in ignoring our guilt but in trusting the Savior who has already paid for it.If you are carrying shame, fear, or regret, this message points you to the only One who can quiet a guilty conscience and give lasting peace.Connect with King's Chapel in Longwood, FL - ▶️ www.kingschapelfl.com▶️ https://www.facebook.com/KingsChapelfl▶️ https://www.instagram.com/kingschapelfl/For the GLORY of our Great GodFor the GOOD of our NeighborGenesis 50 sermon, Joseph and his brothers, guilt and grace, overcoming guilt through Christ, Christian sermon on forgiveness, Jesus the better Joseph, guilty conscience Bible, Genesis Bible study, King's Chapel Longwood FL

The Blessed Life According to the Son, Pt. 3Blessed Are Those Who Hunger and Thirst for RighteousnessMatthew 4:17, 23-25; 5:1-6 | King's Chapel Live StreamEveryone is hungry for something.We spend our lives searching for fulfillment through success, relationships, comfort, possessions, or achievement. Yet no matter how much we consume, something still feels empty. Jesus tells us why.In the Sermon on the Mount, He declares:"Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be satisfied."In this message, we discover that every human heart longs for something greater because God has placed eternity within us. Yet because of sin, we often chase the wrong things, hoping they will satisfy what only Christ can fill.Jesus invites us to hunger and thirst for righteousness. That includes a righteous standing before God through Christ's finished work, a growing life of holiness as He transforms us, and a longing to see His righteousness reflected in His people and His Kingdom.The promise is remarkable. Those who seek Him will not be left empty. God Himself satisfies the souls that come to Him through His Son.If you've been searching for lasting peace, purpose, or satisfaction, this message points us to the One who alone can truly fill the deepest hunger of the human heart.Connect with King's Chapel in Longwood, FL - ▶️ www.kingschapelfl.com▶️ https://www.facebook.com/KingsChapelfl▶️ https://www.instagram.com/kingschapelfl/For the GLORY of our Great GodFor the GOOD of our NeighborMatthew 5:6 sermon, blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, Sermon on the Mount, Beatitudes explained, Jesus satisfies, righteousness in Christ, justification and sanctification, Christian fulfillment, Kingdom of Heaven sermon, King's Chapel Longwood FL

This is part one of a two-part series.  At Longwood, Wyatt Bunch was far from an overnight success.  Showing up on campus as a 6-4, 180-pound freshman pitcher, the Northern Neck native filled out to 6-4, 235 and evolved into an inspirational leader and mentor.  As a senior in the 2026 Big South tournament, Wyatt's Lancers came out of the losers' bracket to force the winner take all championship game vs. USC-Upstate.  Despite losing the final, the Lancers posted a 34-27 record, tying the most wins in school history since the 2007 season (34-19).    

This is part two of a two-part series.  Former Longwood Pitcher Wyatt Bunch is country strong.  The Northern Neck native learned how to maximize his talents and overcome limitations.  As a 6-4, 180 senior in high school, he was mostly recruited by DIII schools.  His gamble to attend DI Longwood produced long term success as the Lancers advanced to the championship game of the 2026 Big South tournament and won 34 games after winning only 14 in 2025.      

The Blessed Life According to the Son, Pt. 2Blessed are the GentleMatthew 4:17, 23-25; 5:1-5 | King's Chapel Live StreamWhat does true strength look like?In a world that celebrates self-promotion, power, and getting your own way, Jesus gives a surprising answer:"Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth."Many people mistake meekness for weakness, but biblical meekness is something entirely different. It is strength under control. It is a heart that willingly submits to God's will, trusts God's Word, and rests in God's promises.In this message from the Sermon on the Mount, we continue our series through The Blessed Life According to the Son by examining the third Beatitude. Jesus teaches that the blessed life is marked by humility before God and gentleness toward others. The meek are content to trust the Lord rather than grasp for power, recognition, or control.The world tells us to fight for our place. Jesus tells us to trust Him with our future.The blessing of meekness is not merely a better attitude. It is the fruit of a life transformed by the Gospel and built upon Christ the Solid Rock.If you have ever struggled with pride, control, anger, or the pressure to prove yourself, this message points us to the freedom and blessing found in humble dependence upon God.Connect with King's Chapel in Longwood, FL - ▶️ www.kingschapelfl.com▶️ https://www.facebook.com/KingsChapelfl▶️ https://www.instagram.com/kingschapelfl/For the GLORY of our Great GodFor the GOOD of our Neighborblessed are the meek, Matthew 5:5 sermon, Sermon on the Mount, Beatitudes explained, biblical meekness, Christian humility, strength under control, trusting God's promises, Kingdom of Heaven sermon, King's Chapel Longwood FL

In this powerful episode of Longwood GradCast: Beyond the Degree, host Dr. Sarah Tanner Anderson sits down with Ebony Cherry (B.S.'04, M.S.'22), a double Longwood alumna, former student-athlete, and innovative school leader, to explore a journey defined by resilience, relationships, and purpose-driven leadership.Ebony shares her full-circle path from navigating childhood trauma and arriving at Longwood as a first-generation student-athlete to becoming a people-first assistant principal committed to creating safe, supportive environments for both students and educators. Choosing Longwood not once, but twice, Ebony reflects on how her undergraduate and graduate experiences shaped her evolution from survival mode to a confident, boundary-pushing leader in educational leadership.While completing her master's in Educational Leadership, Ebony leaned into the same principles that guide her work today: authentic connection, accountability with empathy, and the belief that leadership is earned through trust. Drawing on her background in athletics and coaching, she brings a “player development” mindset into administration by using data, communication, and relationship-building to help both students and teachers grow.Throughout the episode, Ebony reflects on the Power of People that shaped her path: professors who showed up, literally and figuratively, during her hardest seasons, mentors who pushed her to see her own leadership potential, and a Longwood community that became a place of stability, belonging, and transformation.Now a noteworthy assistant principal, Ebony is redefining what leadership looks like in education by balancing high expectations with humanity, and ensuring every person in her building feels seen, valued, and supported.In this episode, listeners will explore:The realities of entering college as a first-generation student without a roadmapHow Longwood became a place of healing, stability, and lifelong connectionThe shift from athlete and coach to impactful educational leaderWhat it means to humanize leadership while maintaining accountabilityHow mentorship, relationships, and community shape lasting successWhy true leadership starts with investing in people, not power or positionEbony's story embodies the heart of Season 3 by demonstrating how resilience, mentorship, and meaningful relationships can transform not only individual lives, but entire communities.“I'm gonna hold you accountable, yes, but I'm also gonna love you through the process.” — Ebony CherrySubscribe to Longwood GradCast: Beyond the Degree to hear more stories of alumni whose journeys prove the lasting power of people, connection, and opportunity.

The Blessed Life According to the Son, Pt. 1Blessed are the Empty and BrokenMatthew 4:17, 23-25; 5:1-4 | King's Chapel Live StreamEveryone wants the blessed life.We pursue happiness, success, comfort, and fulfillment, believing that these things will finally satisfy us. Yet Jesus begins the Sermon on the Mount with a surprising declaration. The truly blessed are not the self-sufficient, the powerful, or the accomplished. The truly blessed are the poor in spirit and those who mourn.In this message, we begin a new journey through the Sermon on the Mount by exploring the good news of the Kingdom of Heaven. Jesus came proclaiming the Kingdom, demonstrating its power, and calling people everywhere to repent and believe.The blessed life begins when we recognize our spiritual poverty before God. It begins when we stop trusting in ourselves and cling to Christ alone. It continues as we mourn over our sin and the brokenness of this fallen world, trusting in God's promise that His people will be comforted.The Kingdom of Heaven belongs to those who know they need a Savior.If you are weary, burdened, broken, or searching for lasting hope, this message reminds us that true blessing is not found in self-sufficiency but in surrender to King Jesus.Connect with King's Chapel in Longwood, FL - ▶️ www.kingschapelfl.com▶️ https://www.facebook.com/KingsChapelfl▶️ https://www.instagram.com/kingschapelfl/For the GLORY of our Great GodFor the GOOD of our NeighborSermon on the Mount sermon, Matthew 5 sermon, Beatitudes explained, blessed are the poor in spirit, blessed are those who mourn, Kingdom of Heaven sermon, gospel of the kingdom, Christian hope and comfort, King's Chapel Longwood FL, Jesus Sermon on the Mount

The Vanity of Life Under the Sun Without the Son, Pt. 16The End of the MatterEcclesiastes 12:9–14 | King's Chapel Live StreamAfter sixteen chapters of searching, questioning, wrestling, and reflecting, Ecclesiastes arrives at its final conclusion.What is the meaning of life? What truly matters? What should we do with the days we've been given?Solomon has explored wealth, pleasure, wisdom, work, power, success, and every pursuit life under the sun has to offer. Again and again, he exposes the emptiness of looking for ultimate meaning in temporary things.But Ecclesiastes does not end in despair.It ends with a call to fear God and keep His commandments, because every deed matters and every life will one day stand before Him.In this message, we discover that everything matters because God is the Judge of all things. We see that the deepest emptiness of the human heart can only be filled by the fullness of God. And we are pointed to the One Shepherd whose words guide us, ground us, and ultimately lead us home.The good news of Ecclesiastes is not that we must find our way to God. The good news is that God has come to us in Jesus Christ. The Judge became the One judged for our sins. The Good Shepherd laid down His life for His sheep.At the end of the matter, life is not meaningless. Life finds its meaning in Him.If you've followed this journey through Ecclesiastes or if you're searching for purpose, hope, and lasting meaning, this message points us to the only One who truly satisfies.Connect with King's Chapel in Longwood, FL - ▶️ www.kingschapelfl.com▶️ https://www.facebook.com/KingsChapelfl▶️ https://www.instagram.com/kingschapelfl/For the GLORY of our Great GodFor the GOOD of our NeighborEcclesiastes 12 sermon, the end of the matter, fear God and keep His commandments, meaning of life Bible sermon, Good Shepherd sermon, purpose of life Christianity, Ecclesiastes conclusion, finding meaning in God, Jesus the Good Shepherd, King's Chapel Longwood FL

The Vanity of Life Under the Sun Without the Son, Pt. 15Nothing Ventured, Nothing GainedEcclesiastes 11:1–12:8 | King's Chapel Live StreamLife is filled with uncertainty.We make plans, weigh risks, and try to prepare for the future, but the truth is that much of life remains beyond our control. We don't know what tomorrow will bring, what opportunities may come our way, or how our decisions will ultimately turn out.Ecclesiastes confronts this reality head-on.In this message, Solomon calls us to live faithfully in the face of uncertainty. Rather than being paralyzed by fear or consumed by trying to control the future, we are invited to trust God and move forward in faith.We are reminded to live with God in our rear-view mirror, remembering that He will bring all things into judgment. We are called to live with God as our guide, recognizing how little we truly know about what lies ahead. And we are encouraged to live with God as our ultimate goal, remembering that every one of us is moving toward an eternal home.The book of Ecclesiastes does not promise certainty about tomorrow, but it does point us to the One who holds tomorrow in His hands.If you've ever wrestled with fear about the future, uncertainty about your next step, or questions about how to live wisely in an unpredictable world, this message offers both wisdom and hope.God may not reveal everything that lies ahead, but He has given us Himself. And that is enough to move forward in faith.Connect with King's Chapel in Longwood, FL - ▶️ www.kingschapelfl.com▶️ https://www.facebook.com/KingsChapelfl▶️ https://www.instagram.com/kingschapelfl/For the GLORY of our Great GodFor the GOOD of our NeighborEcclesiastes 11 sermon, Ecclesiastes 12 sermon, nothing ventured nothing gained sermon, trusting God with the future, Christian wisdom for uncertainty, living with eternity in view, faith and risk Bible, remember your Creator sermon, King's Chapel Longwood FL, Ecclesiastes series, biblical wisdom for life, Christian hope and purpose

The Vanity of Life Under the Sun Without the Son, Pt. 13Living Among the DeadEcclesiastes 9:1–12 | King's Chapel Live StreamEcclesiastes 9 confronts one of the hardest realities of life. Death touches everyone.Life under the sun often feels unfair, unjust, unpredictable, and unkind. The same struggles come to the wise and the foolish, the righteous and the unrighteous. No amount of wisdom, success, or effort can fully shield us from pain, loss, or uncertainty.This passage forces us to wrestle honestly with the brokenness of life in a fallen world.But Ecclesiastes does not leave us in despair.In the middle of life's uncertainty, we are reminded of a deeper hope. God holds His people in His hands. God sets His favor on His people. And through His Son, we are given a hope stronger than death itself.This message points us beyond the futility of life under the sun to the joy and security found in Christ. While this world is temporary and fragile, those who belong to Jesus are never abandoned or forgotten.If you have been wrestling with fear, discouragement, suffering, or questions about the meaning of life, this sermon is a reminder that even in a broken world, there is lasting hope in the Son.Connect with King's Chapel in Longwood, FL - ▶️ www.kingschapelfl.com▶️ https://www.facebook.com/KingsChapelfl▶️ https://www.instagram.com/kingschapelfl/For the GLORY of our Great GodFor the GOOD of our NeighborEcclesiastes 9 sermon, hope in suffering sermon, life and death Bible teaching, meaning of life Ecclesiastes, hope in Christ sermon, King's Chapel Longwood FL, biblical hope in hard times, God has us in His hands

The Vanity of Life Under the Sun Without the Son, Pt. 12Finding Peace of Mind Under the SunEcclesiastes 8:1–17 | King's Chapel Live StreamPeace can feel hard to find in a world filled with uncertainty, frustration, and things we cannot control.Ecclesiastes 8 wrestles honestly with life under the sun. Earthly authority is imperfect. Life often feels unfair. The future remains unknown. And many of God's ways remain beyond our understanding.Yet even in the middle of that tension, Scripture points us toward peace.In this message, we explore how peace of mind grows through wisely submitting to earthly authority, trusting in the sovereignty of God, and learning to find joy in the midst of life's journey. We are reminded that while human wisdom has limits, God's wisdom does not.Ecclesiastes also reminds us that true peace is not found in figuring everything out. It is found in fearing God, trusting His rule, and resting in the goodness of the life He has given us.Even when life feels confusing or heavy, there is still joy to be found in the Son under the sun.If you are feeling anxious, weary, or uncertain about what lies ahead, this message invites you to stop carrying what you were never meant to control and to rest in the peace of God.Connect with King's Chapel in Longwood, FL - ▶️ www.kingschapelfl.com▶️ https://www.facebook.com/KingsChapelfl▶️ https://www.instagram.com/kingschapelfl/For the GLORY of our Great GodFor the GOOD of our NeighborEcclesiastes 8 sermon, peace of mind Bible, trusting God in uncertainty, sovereignty of God sermon, finding joy in difficult times, King's Chapel Longwood FL, biblical wisdom for anxiety, peace in Christ sermon

The Vanity of Life Under the Sun Without the Son, Pt. 11The Gospel According to EcclesiastesEcclesiastes 7:15–29 | King's Chapel Live StreamEcclesiastes is often seen as a book about confusion, tension, and unanswered questions. But underneath it all, there is a clear and powerful message. The gospel.In Ecclesiastes 7, we are reminded of how life began, what went wrong, and why we cannot fix it on our own.God made us upright. We were created in His image, without sin, with the ability to walk in righteousness. But we chose our own way. Our scheming brought brokenness into every part of life. Our hearts are broken. Our relationships are broken. Our world is broken.This passage also exposes the limits of human effort. We cannot fix what has been broken. We cannot bridge the gap between us and God. Even our attempts at righteousness fall short. And walking in wickedness only leads to more destruction.So where does that leave us?It leads us to the hope of the gospel.The fear of God is not about distance. It is about rightly seeing Him, trusting Him, and turning to Him. The good news is that what we could not restore, God has provided through Christ. Where we failed, Jesus was faithful. Where we are broken, He brings restoration.This message invites us to stop trusting ourselves and to place our hope fully in the One who makes all things new.Connect with King's Chapel in Longwood, FL - ▶️ www.kingschapelfl.com▶️ https://www.facebook.com/KingsChapelfl▶️ https://www.instagram.com/kingschapelfl/For the GLORY of our Great GodFor the GOOD of our NeighborEcclesiastes 7 sermon, gospel in Ecclesiastes, human brokenness Bible, righteousness and sin sermon, King's Chapel Longwood FL, meaning of life Ecclesiastes, fear of God teaching, need for salvation sermon

The Vanity of Life Under the Sun Without the Son, Pt. 10Live Like You Were DyingEcclesiastes 6:10-7:14 | King's Chapel Live StreamLife raises questions we cannot fully answer.What is truly good. What is coming next. What is better in the long run. Ecclesiastes brings us face to face with the limits of our understanding and reminds us how little control we actually have.In this passage, the Preacher does not give easy answers. Instead, he points us in a better direction. Consider God.In this message, we are invited to step back and reflect on who God is and how He works. We consider the work of God in shaping our lives, the providence of God in guiding our days, and the mystery of God in ways we cannot fully explain.There are moments when life feels clear and moments when it feels confusing. Times of joy and times of adversity. Ecclesiastes reminds us that both come from the hand of God, and both have a purpose in His plan.Rather than trying to control everything or figure everything out, we are called to trust the One who sees the full picture. Real wisdom is not found in having all the answers. It is found in fearing God, trusting His ways, and walking with Him through every season.If you are in a place of uncertainty or wrestling with questions about your future, this message invites you to slow down, lift your eyes, and consider God.Connect with King's Chapel in Longwood, FL - ▶️ www.kingschapelfl.com▶️ https://www.facebook.com/KingsChapelfl▶️ https://www.instagram.com/kingschapelfl/For the GLORY of our Great GodFor the GOOD of our NeighborEcclesiastes 7 sermon, consider God message, trusting God in uncertainty, God's providence sermon, King's Chapel Longwood FL, meaning of life Ecclesiastes, wisdom in suffering Bible, seasons of life sermon

The Vanity of Life Under the Sun Without the Son, Pt. 9The Powerless Pursuit of WealthEcclesiastes 5:5–6:9 | King's Chapel Live StreamWe live in a world that tells us more is always better. More money, more comfort, more stuff. But what happens when you get it all and still feel empty?In this message from Ecclesiastes 5:8–6:9, we take an honest look at what Solomon discovered about the pursuit of wealth apart from God. He doesn't just warn us. He walks us through it. The systems of this world are broken by sin. Corruption trickles down from the top. And the things we spend our lives chasing cannot deliver what only God can give.Solomon shows us the powerless pursuit of money. The more you have, the more you want, and hoarding what we've been given only leads to grief. Possessions don't satisfy. They can't. They were never designed to.But this passage doesn't leave us there. There is One who can fix what is broken. One who can fill what is empty. And in Him, joy is not something we chase. It's something we receive. In Christ, joy is a gift, not a reward for accumulating enough.If you've ever felt the pressure to earn more, hold tighter, or build bigger and still felt like something was missing, this message speaks directly to that ache. Real contentment is found not in what you own, but in who owns you.Series: The Vanity of Life Under the Sun Without the Son, Part 9Connect with King's Chapel in Longwood, FL - ▶️ www.kingschapelfl.com▶️ https://www.facebook.com/KingsChapelfl▶️ https://www.instagram.com/kingschapelfl/For the GLORY of our Great GodFor the GOOD of our NeighborEcclesiastes sermon, money and the Bible, contentment in Christ, King's Chapel Longwood FL, powerless pursuit of wealth, biblical wisdom on money, Solomon Ecclesiastes 5, joy in Christ sermon, corruption and justice Bible, Christian living sermon

The Vanity of Life Under the Sun Without the Son, Pt. 8Worship and the Fear of GodEcclesiastes 5:1–7 | King's Chapel Live StreamWhat does it really mean to come into the presence of God?Ecclesiastes 5 slows us down and calls us to approach God with humility, reverence, and awareness. God is in heaven and we are on earth. That truth alone changes how we worship, how we speak, and how we live.In this message, we are reminded to guard our steps when we draw near to God. Worship is not casual or careless. It is a response to who God is. And yet, we are also invited into His presence. Not because we have earned it, but because God has made a way.Through Christ, the door is open. What we could never afford has been paid at an infinite cost. We are welcomed to come just as we are, while also being called to come with clean hands and a pure heart.Ecclesiastes also challenges us to watch our words. In a world full of noise, we are invited to listen more than we speak, to take God seriously, and to live with integrity before Him.Finally, this passage calls us to question our dreams. Not every ambition or desire leads to life. True wisdom begins with fearing God, surrendering to Him, and trusting that His plans are better than our own.If you have ever felt distant from God or unsure how to approach Him, this message invites you to come with humility, listen with intention, and trust the One who welcomes you in.Connect with King's Chapel in Longwood, FL - ▶️ www.kingschapelfl.com▶️ https://www.facebook.com/KingsChapelfl▶️ https://www.instagram.com/kingschapelfl/For the GLORY of our Great GodFor the GOOD of our NeighborEcclesiastes 5 sermon, fear of God Bible, worship reverence sermon, how to approach God, King's Chapel Longwood FL, guarding your steps sermon, watching your words Bible, surrender to God teaching
