The Gospel Trifecta

So American Pharoah won the Kentucky Derby and the Preakness.  In order to complete the prestigious Triple Crown, American Pharoah must now win the Belmont Stakes. 

For my last chapel of the year I arranged a Gospel trifecta around the truth that our sins are forever removed through Christ's atoning sacrifice.

The text
I John 2:1  "My little children, I am writing these things to you so that you may not sin But if anyone does sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous."


The hymn
1st and 2nd graders from St. Peter, Macomb sang: "The King of Love my Shepherd Is"
The King of love my shepherd is,
Whose goodness faileth never;
I nothing lack if I am his
And he is mine forever.

In death’s dark vale I fear no ill
With thee, dear Lord, beside me,
Thy rod and staff my comfort still,
Thy cross before to guide me.

The chapel's closing quote
“So when the devil throws your sins in your face and declares that you deserve death and hell, tell him this: 'I admit that I deserve death and hell, what of it? For I know One who suffered and made satisfaction on my behalf. His name is Jesus Christ, Son of God, and where He is there I shall be also!' ”  - Martin Luther
