In this chapel message, Rev. William Turner brings a compelling word titled “Jacob or Israel?” Drawing from the life of Jacob, Turner explores the tension between our old identity and the new name and calling God gives us. Having served for many years as a missionary before joining the faculty, Rev. Turner speaks from both biblical insight and lived experience, challenging listeners to consider where they may still be living as “Jacob” instead of stepping fully into “Israel.” This message invites students and leaders alike to reflect on transformation, surrender, and the faithfulness of God in shaping identity and purpose. Key Themes: Identity and spiritual transformation Wrestling with God and growth through struggle Walking in God’s calling We pray this message encourages and strengthens you as you pursue God’s purpose in your life.
